In October 2010, Castillian and Kibaran (formerly Kagera Nickel Limited) entered into an agreement whereby Kibaran acquired a 100% interest in the Kagera Nickel Project from Castillian (See Press Release dated October 28, 2010). Pursuant to this agreement, Castillian acquired 5,000,000 common shares of Kibaran, to be held in escrow, and 22,500,000 Kibaran performance shares to be converted into common shares of Kibaran pending receipt of certain positive drill results on the property.


The Kagera Nickel Project is located in western Tanzania. The key tenements are located approximately 10 kilometres northeast of Xstrata Nickel and Barrick Golds' Kabanga Nickel Deposit, one of the world's largest undeveloped high grade nickel sulphide deposit, which is currently undergoing feasibility studies. Total measured and indicated resources at Kabanga are reported at 37.4 million tonnes grading 2.59% nickel with an additional 16 million tonnes of inferred resources at 2.9% nickel (source: Xtrata Nickel website).
