Kibaran Resources has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with GR Engineering Services to negotiate an early works agreement and an engineering and procurement contract for the company's Epanko graphite project in Tanzania.

Former Resolute Mining chairman and highly regarded Australian-African resources executive, Robert Pett has been appointed as non-executive chairman of Kibaran Resources.
