Kalimantan’s First Quarter Results 2014

The unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the management discussion and analysis (the “MD&A”) of Kalimantan Gold Corporation Limited (the “Company”) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, are available for viewing on www.sedar.com and www.kalimantan.com.

The Company incurred a comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014, of $178,652 (2013 – profit of $25,151).

The Company began the current fiscal quarter with $973,464 in cash. Operating activities contributed $37,399 in cash; investing activities contributed $144,056 in cash and include $271 recovered on sale of equipment, and received funding for reclamation of $120,000; and recorded $1,942 of unrealized foreign exchange loss on cash balances, to end the quarter with $1,156,861 in cash.

The highlights of the first quarter and up to May 29, 2014, include:

Kalimantan Gold regained 100% Control of its' KSK CoW, and more importantly the Company's prospective Beruang Kanan Project (BKP); Activities during the quarter focused on data compilation, quality assurance and quality control and prospect evaluations. Much of the focus was on the four prospects located within BKP, namely BK Main (Cu-Ag), BK South (Cu-Au), BK West (Cu-Pb-Zn) and the most northerly BKZ Polymetallic (Pb-Zn-Ag-Au-Cu) prospect; Analysis of the final results of an airborne gravity survey over the KSK CoW has identified over 15 geophysical targets, of which 5 are considered high priority and are coincident with surface geochemical anomalies. The most prominent gravity target is at BKP, characterized by a 4.5km "banana shaped" gravity high that encompasses BK West (BKW) and BK Main (BKM). The soil anomaly at BKM is multi-element and measures approximately 1,200 metres north to south by up to 1000 metres east-west, and is characterized by strong copper values in soils of up to 1,380ppm; To date, drilling at BKM has confirmed high grade copper mineralization located on at least two different stratigraphic horizons, the first occurs at surface and dips shallowly eastward and the second occurs at 150m depth. Mineralization and alteration styles are typical of those associated with VHMS systems; however there are similarities to high sulphidation and "Manto-type" deposits. The system has not been closed off and remains open in all directions; BKP is now recognized as a new emerging copper district in central Kalimantan and BKM is considered the Company's most advanced-stage exploration project. More than 50% of the Stage 1 delineation drilling has been completed at BKM, and funds raised in 2014 will be used to finalize the stage 1 delineation drilling. Subject to funding, it is expected the Company will announce an initial National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate by Q1 2015; A desktop evaluation of the BKZ Polymetallic prospect ( Numerous discussions with both foreign and Indonesian companies are progressing positively, with site visits conducted on the Company's KSK and Jelai IUP projects to date.

Looking ahead:

3D inversion modeling of airborne gravity and magnetic data is expected to assist in defining the extent of the BKP VHMS-system and, combined with recent drilling results, will help Kalimantan Gold refine and focus future drilling programs.

Surya Kencana LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation funded over $35 million of exploration expenditures since April 2011 on the KSK CoW, leaving the Company with a wealth of exploration data and multiple drill targets. During their involvement, over 30,000m of drilling was completed, over 28,000 samples were analyzed, 4,762 line kilometers of airborne geophysical surveys were completed, and 24,363 ha of the KSK CoW was covered with a high resolution Lidar imaging survey. A drill plan had been prepared to expand the identified zone of mineralization at Beruang Kanan where the two most recent drill holes, BK57 and BK58, both intersected significant mineralization.

With regard to the Jelai IUP, the Company announced that the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry granted JCM an extension to its Borrow and Use Exploration Forestry Permit (IPPKH). The permit, which is renewable, extends the authorization for the Company to conduct exploration activities until December 16, 2015. It covers all the existing permitted areas, namely the Mewet and ten of the other 12 Jelai IUP prospects, comprising 4,675 hectares of the 5,000 hectare IUP.

The Company has been in discussions with a number of major mineral companies regarding a potential joint venture or similar arrangement in respect of Jelai IUP. These discussions are continuing and some site visits have already been undertaken.
