FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2009-02

EL VALLE RESOURCES INCREASED BY ADDITIONAL 153,519 OZ. GOLD

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, January 22^nd, 2009:  Kinbauri Gold Corp. ("Kinbauri") (Toronto: TSXV.KNB; Frankfurt: 3KG.DE) is pleased to announce that Ore Reserves Engineering ("ORE") has provided new resource estimates at El Valle in northwestern Spain for three zones: (1) two zones, Area 208 and East 107 had previously not been appraised in any previous technical report and (2) one zone, the East Breccia zone ("EB"), where new drill intercepts extended the zone, leading to an increase in inferred resources for EB (previous reported inferred gold resource for EB was 73,000 ounces) .

Total inferred resources in the three zones are 226,519 ounces gold and 7.4M pounds copper (1.1Mt@6.6g/t Au/t and 0.31% Cu); this is an increase of 153,519 ounces of gold over that previously reported by ORE in its most recent N.I. 43-101 technical report and recent amendment (see press releases of November 20^th, 2008 and January 19^th, 2009).

The table below gives the detailed estimated inferred resources ⁽¹⁾ for East 107, Area 208 and East Breccia as of January 20^th, 2008.

This update incorporates drilling by Rio Narcea Gold Mines S.L. ("RNGM") that was completed after RNGM's earlier resource estimates. New models were employed that incorporate current geological understanding of these zones; and newer, advanced estimation methods were utilized to better define mineralization. ORE is continuing to update resources for several smaller zones that were outside of the Kinbauri drilling programs completed in 2007 and 2008.

Dr. Vern Rampton, President and CEO said "Updated modeling and resource calculations continue to show that broadly spread mineralization is present throughout the El Valle property and that it has excellent potential for more gold and copper discoveries. Increases of 54,270 ounces in the indicated category within the El Valle Fault zone and 170,349 ounces of gold in the inferred category in the El Valle Fault, East 107, Area 208 and East Breccia zones are new resources not previously documented in ORE's November 2008 report. Clearly, El Valle has enormous potential for further increases in its gold and copper resources. These will be verified by Kinbauri in future drilling programs."

The estimated resources for El Valle/Carl?s resources as of January 20^th, 2009 are as follows:

• Measured and Indicated: 970,000 Ounces Gold and 114 million pounds Copper

(6.4Mt at 4.7g Au/t and 0.8% Cu)

• Inferred: 1,2667,344 Ounces Gold and 76.1 million pounds Copper (7.5Mt@5.4g Au/t and 0.47% CU)

This press release has been prepared by Dr. V. N. Rampton, P. Eng. in his capacity as a qualified person. Dr. Rampton previously recorded a "Beyond the Press Release" webcast concerning new resource delineation at El Valle and how these affect development at the El Valle/Carl?s project on Kinbauri's Investor Relations site at http://www.agoracom.com/IR/kinbauri on January 19^th, 2009. Dr. Rampton will be hosting Kinbauri's booth at the Vancouver Cambridge Gold Show on January 25^th and 26^th.
