Kinbauri Gold Corp. Appoints Financial Advisor to Assist in Strategic Planning

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, December 15, 2008 Kinbauri Gold Corp. ("Kinbauri" or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:KNB) (FRANKFURT:3KG.DE) has begun a strategic review of alternatives for the development of its El Valle/Carles Project (the “Project”) in Northern Spain. Kinbauri has retained M Partners Inc. (“M Partners”) as financial advisor to assist in assessing the various options available to Kinbauri to aggressively advance the Project and enhance shareholder value; these options include such alternatives as strategic investments, joint ventures, partnership and mergers.

Since acquiring the Project in 2006 Kinbauri has increased gold resources by 52% and copper by 125%, as well as identified several other drill targets, which would lead to a significant expansion in resources. The current estimated resources are (1) measured and indicated: 916,000 ounces gold and 51,500 tonnes copper (6,170,000t at 4.6g Au/t and 0.85% Cu) and (2) inferred: 1,097,000 ounces gold and 33,500 tonnes copper (6,577,000t at 5.2g Au/t and 0.65% Cu) (see Kinbauri press release, November 28th, 2008 for details, including cut-offs). Kinbauri is completing a scoping study on the project which will be followed by a full feasibility study. Infrastructure in place at El Valle includes a 750,000 tonne/annum mill and a 5,000,000 tonne tailings facility. Kinbauri’s current plans are to improve the infrastructure and recommence operations at the mill and two mines by 2011.

Management feels confident that this new strategic plan will lead to enhanced shareholder value and on-schedule recommencement of production due to the Project’s present and rapidly growing gold resources, in place multi-million dollar infrastructure and investor interest shown to date.
