Investors need to carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this document and the Exhibits hereto.Industry CompetitionThe mining industry is a highly diverse and competitive international business.  The selection of geographic areas of interest are only limited by the degree of risk a company is willing to accept by the acquisition of  properties in emerging or developed markets and/or prospecting in explored or virgin territory.  Mining, by its nature, is a competitive business with the search for fresh ground with good exploration potential and the raising of the requisite capital to move projects forward to production.  Globally the mining industry is prone to cyclical variations in the price of the commodities produced by it, as dictated by supply and demand factors, speculative factors and industry-controlled marketing cartels.  Nature provides the ultimate uncertainty with geological and occasionally climatic surprises. Commensurate with the acceptance of this risk profile is the potential for high rewards.  6   Caledonia Mining CorporationExploration and Development  Exploration, development and production activities are subject to political, economic and other risks, including:-              cancellation or renegotiation of contracts;-              changes in local and foreign laws and regulations;-              changes in tax laws;-delays or refusal in granting prospecting permissions, mining authorizations and work permits for foreign management staff;-              environmental controls and permitting-              expropriation or nationalization of property or assets;-               foreign exchange controls;government mandated social expenditures;-import and export regulation, including restrictions on the sale of their production in foreign currencies;-               industrial relations and the associated stability thereof;-               inflation of cost that is not compensated for by a currency devaluation;-requirement that a foreign subsidiary or operating unit have a domestic joint venture partner, which, possibly, the foreign company must subsidize;-restrictions on the ability of local operating companies to sell their production for foreign currencies, and on the ability of such companies to hold these foreign currencies in offshore and/or local bank accounts;-restrictions on the ability of a foreign company to have management control of exploration and/or development and/or mining operations;-                restrictions on the remittance of dividend and interest payments offshore;-               retroactive tax or royalty claims;-               risks of loss due to civil strife, acts of war, guerrilla activities, insurrection and terrorism;-               royalties and tax increases or claims by governmental entities;-               unreliable local infrastructure and services such as power, communications and transport links;-                demands or actions by native or indigenous groups;-other risks arising out of foreign sovereignty over the areas in which operations are conducted.-lack of uninterrupted power supplies-lack of investment fundingSuch risks could potentially arise in any country in which Caledonia operates.  In Southern Africa, Black Economic Empowerment Legislation and a number of economic and social issues may result in increased political and economic risks of operating in that area.Zimbabwe brought its Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act into law in March 2008. The law requires that a majority stake (at least 51%) in all companies is held by indigenous Zimbabweans. On February 20, 2012 the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Minister of Youth, Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment of the Government of Zimbabwe (the “Government of Zimbabwe”) pursuant to which Caledonia has agreed that Indigenous Zimbabweans will acquire an effective 51% of the Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe (“Blanket”) for a paid transactional value of U.S. $30.09 million on the following basis:·  16% will be sold to the National Indigenisation Economic Empowerment Fund;·  10% will be sold to a Management and Employee Trust for the benefit of the present and future managers and employees of Blanket;·  15% will be sold to identified Indigenous Zimbabweans;  and·  10% will be donated to the Gwanda Community Share Ownership Trust.  Caledonia will also make a non-refundable donation of US $1,000,000 to the Trust as soon as it has been established.Caledonia will facilitate the vendor funding of these transactions which will be repaid by way of future dividends from Blanket.Caledonia has undertaken to complete the implementation of all the components of the indigenisation transaction as soon as possible  - which is currently underway.  The Government of Zimbabwe has agreed that implementation of the terms of the MOU will constitute full compliance by Blanket and Caledonia with the requirements of the Indigenisation Act.  However, there is no assurance that the implementation of the terms can be achieved without further difficulties – nor when the completion of the implementation will occur.  7   Caledonia Mining Corporation Effective January 1, 2012, Zimbabwe increased the gross royalty payable to the Zimbabwe Government from 4.5% to 7% of the gross revenues received by mining companies operating in Zimbabwe from gold sales.In January 2008 the Zambian government announced the following changes to its tax laws that would have had a bearing on the Nama Project.  The key changes were:· Increase in mineral royalty from 0.6% to 3%· Increase in profit tax rate from 25% to 30%· Introduction of variable profits tax of 15% for net profits above 8%· Introduction of a windfall profit tax for copper and cobalt mines· Capital allowances reduced from 100% to 25% These measures were highly controversial with mining companies, many of which invested in the country under specific tax incentives and formalized their business models accordingly. Various representations were made by the mining companies both directly and through the Chamber of Mines to the government following the budget announcement at the end of January 2008. The Zambian government in January 2009 announced improvements to the taxation of mining companies, in particular:·  the abolition of windfall tax·  the return of capital allowances back to 100%.Whilst these changes are welcome, the royalty remains unchanged at 3% and we make the observation that at low cobalt prices, the royalty can give rise to a very significant tax burden on the project.As a result of the foregoing, Caledonia’s exploration, development and production activities in Zambia and Zimbabwe may be substantially affected by factors beyond Caledonia’s control, any of which could materially adversely affect Caledonia’s financial position or results from operations. Furthermore, in the event of a dispute arising from such activities, Caledonia may be subject to exclusive jurisdiction of courts outside North America or may not be successful in subjecting persons to the jurisdiction of the courts in North America, which could adversely affect the outcome of a dispute.History of Losses; Accumulated Deficit; No Assurance of Revenue or Operating ProfitSince inception in February 1992, Caledonia has recorded a loss in every year except 1994, 2000, 2010 and 2011.  As at December 31, 2011, the consolidated accumulated deficit was $158.4 million.Write-downs on capital assets and mineral properties are typical for the mining industry.  Caledonia’s policy is to review the assets relative to current market conditions on an annual basis.Fluctuating Minerals Prices and Foreign Currency Exchange RatesAs Caledonia’s activities primarily relate to the exploration, development and production of minerals, the fluctuating World prices for such minerals have a significant potential effect on the Company’s future activities and the profitability of any of its minerals production activities.  There is never any assurance, when activities are undertaken, or production operations are commenced, that the World price of the minerals involved will continue at a sufficiently high price to justify the ongoing activities or the continuation of the production.Most costs incurred by the Company in its exploration, development and production activities in southern Africa have to be paid in local currencies.  However, mineral prices are generally quoted in United States dollars.  The profitability of any production operations of the Company and the potential profitability of its exploration and development activities will therefore be seriously affected by adverse changes in the currency exchange rates.Black Empowerment and IndigenizationThe governments of the southern African countries in which the Company operates have, or are proposing, legislation (typically referred to as “black empowerment”) requiring companies to allow participation in their shareholdings and business enterprises by the indigenous (i.e. black) population.  In not all instances is it assured that such interests will have to be paid for at full fair value.  In Zimbabwe, when Caledonia purchased the Blanket Mine, it agreed to establish a trust for the benefit of the employees of the Blanket Mine into which up to 30% of the issued shares of the wholly owned subsidiary which it acquired and is operating the Blanket Mine would be placed.  As a result of the Indigenisation Law which has been passed by the Government of Zimbabwe it is now expected that the proposed trust will be established during the second quarter of 2012, but only at 10% of the issued shares.  8   Caledonia Mining Corporation Need for Additional FundsThe Company expects that for at least 2012 and 2013, it can fund all of its exploration, development and production operations from internal funds – and that it will not have to seek externally sourced funding for those years.Joint Venture NegotiationsTwo of the three Rooipoort platinum prospecting rights applied for have been granted to prospect for PGMs on major portions of the Mapochsgronde tribal trust land and are currently in the process of registration.  The remaining property to the north of the area where the current rights are under appeal with the DME and its decision is awaited.When the exploration rights are registered joint venture partners will be sought for this project.Dependence upon Key PersonnelCaledonia’s success depends (i) on the continued contributions of its directors, executive officers, management and consultants, and (ii) on Caledonia’s ability to attract new personnel whenever Caledonia seeks to implement its business strategy.   There is no assurance that the Company will always be able to locate and hire all of the personnel that it may consider that it requires.  The Company, where it considers it appropriate, engages consulting and service companies to undertake some of the work function.Chris Harvey retired from his position as Technical Director in December 2005, but continues as a Director and was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee in June 2009. James Johnstone retired from his position as Chief Operating Officer in September, 2006, also continues as a Director and was appointed as a member of the audit committee in December 2010.Steven Curtis was appointed Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer in April 2006, and was appointed as a Director on June 1, 2008. Mark Learmonth, previously a Director of Macquarie First South, was appointed as VP Corporate Development and Investor Relations on July 10, 2008.Stefan Hayden stepped down as the Chairman in 2005 but continues as a Director and as President and CEO.Carl Jonsson, a Director was appointed Chairman of the Board in December 2010. Robert W. Babensee was appointed as a Director and a member of the Audit Committee on October 31, 2008 and became Chairman of the Audit Committee in December 2010.Absence of DividendsThe Company has never paid or declared any dividends and has no dividend policy.Possible Volatility of Share PriceMarket prices for mining company securities, by their nature, are volatile. Factors, such as rapidly changing commodity prices, political unrest globally and in countries where Caledonia operates, speculative interest in mining stocks etc. are but a few factors affecting the volatility of the share price.   Caledonia listed its shares on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”) in June 2005 – and secured the quotation of its shares in the U.S. on the OTCQX commencing  October 10, 2011.4  INFORMATION ON THE COMPANYA.           History and Development of CaledoniaCaledonia was incorporated, effective February 05, 1992, by the amalgamation of three predecessor companies.  It exists pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations ActFollowing the creation of Caledonia its shares were listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange and quoted on the NASDAQ small caps market.   On October 16th 1998, Caledonia announced that NASDAQ would no longer quote Caledonia’s securities for trading.  Caledonia’s common stock then commenced trading on NASDAQ’s OTC Bulletin Board system.  In June 2005 Caledonia was admitted to the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market under the ticker symbol “CMCL”.  Its Toronto Stock Exchange trading symbol is “CAL”.  Effective October 10, 2011 the shares commenced trading in the U.S. on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol CALVF.  9   Caledonia Mining Corporation The addresses and telephone numbers of Caledonia’s three principal offices are:  African Office - South Africa      Representational Offices - Canada     Greenstone Management Services     67 Yonge Street, Suite 1201 24, 9th Street, Lower Houghton   Toronto, Ontario, Canada Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2198   M5E 1J8 South Africa     (416) 369-9507 (27) 11 447 2499     1710-1177 West Hastings Street   Vancouver, B.C. , Canada V6E21   (604) 640-6357 Exploration activities – since 1995 In 1995 the Company acquired ownership of the shares of the companies which owned the Barbrook and Eersteling Mines in South Africa.  The original acquisition was of only 96.4% of the issued shares of Eersteling Gold Mining Company Ltd. - with the remaining 3.6% being acquired in mid 2004. On May 31, 2008 an agreement to sell Barbrook Mine was concluded and Caledonia was paid the full purchase price of $9,130,000 by Eastern Goldfields SA (Pty) Ltd.Effective April 1, 2006 the Company purchased 100% of the issued shares of the Zimbabwean company “Blanket Mine (1983) (Private) Limited, the owner of the operating Blanket Gold Mine.  The purchase consideration was $1,000,000 (U.S.) and the issuance to the vendor of 20,000,000 shares in the capital of Caledonia.  Because the Company bought the shares of the company owning the Blanket Mine it thereby acquired all of the assets of that company and assumed all of its liabilities.From time to time Caledonia receives mineral property and business proposals from third parties for review as potential investment opportunities.  With the potential of improved political conditions in other Southern African countries, Caledonia’s management is reviewing mining opportunities in certain of these countries.Pages 23,24 and 25 are maps respectively of northern South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia – which show the locations of the Company’s exploration and operating  properties in those countries. B.            Business Overview Mining and Exploration Ac tivities:Gold ProductionBlanket Mine (1983) Private Limited (“Blanket”) - GoldBlanket exports its gold production to Rand Refineries in Johannesburg, South Africa and receives 100% of the sale proceeds in US dollars within 5 days of sale.  Cash flow at Blanket continues to improve as gold production increases and the production unit costs decrease. BackgroundBlanket is wholly owned by the Corporation. The mine is located approximately 560 km south of Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe and 150 km south of Bulawayo, the country’s second largest city.  The town of Gwanda, the provincial capital of Matabeleland South, is located 16 km east of the mine and is approximately 197 km north north-west of the South African border post of Beit Bridge.  The mine is situated in the Gwanda Greenstone Belt from which gold was first produced in the 1800’s.  Blanket holds extensive exploration properties throughout this belt. The Blanket property was first staked in 1904 with mining and metallurgical plant operations starting in 1906 and has since produced over a million ounces of gold.   10   Caledonia Mining Corporation Geological SettingIn common with most of the gold mines in Zimbabwe, Blanket is situated in a typical greenstone terrain, the 70 km long by 15 km wide Gwanda Greenstone belt.  This terrain comprises supra crustal metavolcanic rocks similar to those found in the Barberton area of South Africa and the Abitibi area of Canada.  The Blanket property is the largest of the three remaining large gold producers on the Gwanda Belt, an area that has given rise to no less than 268 gold mines.Property GeologyBlanket is part of the group that makes up the North Western Mining camp also called the Sabiwa group of ore zones extending from Sabiwa and Jethro in the south, through Blanket itself to the Feudal, AR South, AR Main, Sheet, Eroica and Lima ore bodies.  The geological sequence strikes north-south, dips vertically and consists, from east to west, of a basal felsic unit which is not known to carry mineralization.  It is generally on this lithology type that the various mine tailings disposal sites are located.  Above this unit is the ultramafic unit that includes the banded iron formations hosting the eastern dormant cluster of mines and the ore bodies of the adjacent Vubachikwe mine complex.   The active Blanket ore bodies are found in the mafic lavas, while the andesitic unit which lies to the west, caps this whole stratigraphy.  A regional dolerite sill cuts the entire sequence from Vubachikwe through Blanket to the Smiler prospect.  Ore bodies at Blanket are epigenetic and are associated with a later, regionally developed deformation zone characterized by areas of high strain, wrapping around relatively under formed remnants of the original basaltic lava flows.  It is within this higher strain regime (highly sheared rocks) that the wider of the ore bodies are located. Production Operations MiningSubsequent to the completion of the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project during Q3 2010, the underground mining areas can now produce up to 1,100 tonnes of ore daily using predominately long-hole open stoping methods. Certain ore handling limitations still existed at the underground on 18 and 22 Levels at the year end. These limitations have been partially addressed by raise boring an ore pass connecting 18 Level to the No. 2 ore bin grizzly tip on 22 Level. The 120 metre long and 1.5 metre diameter ore pass has dramatically improved the efficiency of delivering ore to the new underground crushing and hoist loading station by eliminating the previous necessity to double handle ore and waste generated on 18 Level down to 22 Level via the No 6 winze before it is crushed and hoisted from the underground loading station to surface.  The raise boring operations had an adverse impact on gold production in the first quarter of 2011resulting in 7,322 ounces being produced which was lower than the increased capacity target equivalent of 10,000 ounces per quarter. The second quarter production was higher than the first quarter but the planned annualized gold production rate of 40,000 ounces was not be achieved in 2011as a result of the lower production rates in the first and second quarters.Metallurgical ProcessThe present crushing and milling circuit has been expanded from 600 tonnes per day to about 1,800 tonnes per day capacity. This is more than sufficient to handle the planned increases in mine production from the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project, and, in future, from any ore mined from the satellite exploration properties currently being developed.All run of mine (“ROM”) ore is crushed  underground to minus 80mm, hoisted to surface and crushed to minus 12mm in the surface 2-stage crushing circuit.  This material is then fed into two 1.8m by 3.6m rod mills where it is milled down to approximately 70% passing 75 microns, after which the milled slurry is pumped through two 30 inch Knelson Gravity Concentrators where approximately 49% of total mill gold production is recovered as ‘gravity’ gold.  The Knelson Concentrator tails are pumped through cyclones whose underflow reports to the  open-circuit regrind ball mill.  The product from the Knelson tails cyclone overflow and the regrind mill discharge are pumped into a carbon-in-leach (“CIL”) plant consisting of eight, 600 cubic meter leach tanks where alkaline-cyanide leaching and simultaneous absorption of dissolved gold onto granular activated carbon takes place.  Elution of the gold from the loaded carbon and subsequent electro-winning is done on site.  During electro winning the gold is deposited on wire wool cathodes, the loaded cathodes are acid-digested and the resultant gold solids from acid digestion and the re-dressed gold concentrate from Knelson Concentrators are smelted into bars. The granular activated carbon is kiln regenerated before it is recirculated back to the CIL section. The gold bullion, in the form of Dore bars is delivered, as required by Zimbabwean gold-mining law, to the Government-operated Fidelity for sampling and onward delivery to the Rand Refineries in South Africa.  Rand Refineries undertakes the final refining and sells the resultant gold with 100% of the proceeds being credited to Blanket’s Zimbabwean bank account in US dollars within 5 days of sale.The CIL plant has an overall design capacity of 3,800 tonnes of milled ore per day, from its previous use for reclaimed tailings processing.  The plant tailings from CIL are reduced in cyanide content and deposited on two licensed tailing impoundment areas sited close to the plant. The maximum amount of tailings water is pumped back to the metallurgical plant for re-use.  Daily management and operation of the tailing deposition area is contracted out to the Zimbabwean subsidiary of specialized South African company “Fraser Alexander Tailings”  11   Caledonia Mining Corporation Mineral Reserve CalculationsThe Company has had the Blanket Mine gold reserve calculations verified.  The work was done by the South African based independent consulting company, MSA Geoservices (Pty) Ltd. ("MSA").  MSA has completed a technical report on the Blanket Mine dated June 28, 2011.  A summary of the Report - including the reserve calculations - is attached as Exhibit 14.e.  The full Report can be viewed on the Company's website at www.caledoniamining.com.  It can also be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.Since the calculation of the above December 31, 2010 figures the Company has mined approximately 298,758 tonnes with an average gold grade of 4.01 grams per tonne from within the reserves and resource figures set out above.  Management of Blanket Mine has concluded that on-going work and exploration on the property has resulted in the establishment of replacement reserves and resources.  An updated calculation of Blanket’s reserves and resources as at December 31st 2011 has been prepared by Blanket’s Technical Department and the results are presented in the following table.MINERAL RESERVES – December 31, 2011ClassificationTonnesGrade (Au g/t)Gold Content-ouncesProven Ore      Total Proven Ore including pillars*1,495,0003.86185,500Probable Ore      Operating and Development Areas2,234,0003.79272,200Total Proven + Probable Ore3,729,0003.82457,700Reserve estimate is based on a gold price of US$1,500/oz.MINERAL RESOURCESClassificationTonnesGrade (Au g/t)Gold Content-ouncesIndicated454,0003.8255,700Inferred2,344,0005.28**Tonnages and ounces are rounded to the nearest 1000 and 100 respectivelyResource estimate is based on a gold price of US$1,500/oz.Note *                        Pillar tonnages have been discounted by 50%Note **                      In keeping with the requirements of NI 43-101, Inferred Resources are reported without estimates of metal quantities(i)            1 tonne = 1,000 kilograms = 2,205.6 pounds(ii)           Some numbers may not add due to roundingCautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Inferred and Indicated Resources.  The above table uses the terms “inferred resources” and “indicated resources.”  While these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them.  They have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic feasibility.  It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred or indicated resource exists or is economically mineable.Dr. T. N. Pearton, BSc Eng. (Mining Geology), PhD (Geology), and Fellow of the Geological Society of South Africa is the “Qualified Person” for Blanket’s reserves and resources as required by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.Relative to the previous and independent estimate of reserves and resources as at December 2010, the Reserves have decreased by 2.0% in terms of contained gold.  Resources expressed in terms of tonnage have declined by 4.1% over the same period.     12  Caledonia Mining Corporation
 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 Eersteling Gold Mining Company LimitedThe mine is no longer disclosed as “held for sale” but the Board’s decision to sell remains intact. The change in disclosure is as a result of no offer being made for the mine since 2008.  No additional impairment has been made against the carrying value as the previously offered price by a 3rd party potential buyer was significantly higher than the carrying value and the Corporation has rejected a purchase offer also in excess of the carrying value.  Interested parties continue to investigate the merits of purchasing the mine and the Corporation continues to seek a suitable purchaser. MARKETING During 2009 Blanket became entitled to export and sell its entire gold production in its own name.   Blanket has since then delivered and sold its gold production to Rand Refineries Limited in South Africa.KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS During 2011, the US$ gold price per ounce continued to increase and the increased gold production from Blanket has enabled Blanket to remain cash-flow positive throughout 2011. The cash flow, together with a loan facility from Blanket’s Zimbabwean bankers, allowed Blanket to fund all of the 2011 capital expenditure at the mine. Subsequent to the completion of the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project the mining of the Level 22 Haulage Extension Project, has recommenced.  This project will allow for the further up-dip and down-dip exploration of the Blanket mine-site’s known ore bodies and, provided this exploration is successful, will also allow for the rapid commencement of mining on the new mining areas defined and an increase in the mine’s mineral reserves and resources.   It is expected that the remaining 1,500metres of the 2,400 metre long Level 22 Haulage Development Project will be completed by the end of 2013.  The frequency of electrical supply interruptions has decreased significantly since the new supply agreement was signed with ZESA in December 2010. Nevertheless the Company installed four 2.5MVA diesel generator sets and the associated transformers, switchgear, and diesel storage to ensure continuous power supply is available to the entire surface and underground operations in the event of any power interruption.OPERATIONAL REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The plans for the non-revenue generating exploration projects continue to be determined by the availability of funds and are more fully described below. 8.1         Gold Production Blanket Mine – Zimbabwe The operational statistics reported below refer to the period from January 1 to December 31, 2011.Capital ProjectsOre Pass from 18 Level (630m) to 22 LevelA 115 meter long by 1.5 metre diameter ore pass was raise-bored which has improved the efficiency and reduced the costs of moving mined ore from 18 Level to the underground crushing station.  Sustained production at a continuous 1,000 tonnes per day has been achieved since this ore pass and its 18 Level tipping station were completed in April 2011.22 Level (750m) Haulage Development Project - from Blanket #4 shaft  to Lima shaftThe 22 level Haulage Development Project is currently behind the original schedule in the mine plan due to the decision taken in 2010 to concentrate financial resources on completing the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project.  Work on this Project will now be recommenced to link the Blanket and Lima shafts.  Included in the work is a 230 meter ventilation raise that was raise bored to improve ventilation in this area and that will allow for double-shift blasting if required.. As the 22 level haulage project advances, crosscuts (short side tunnels) will be mined each with a length of up to several hundred meters in order to provide the required drilling platforms from which the deeper ore bodies above and below the 22 level can be drilled, evaluated and developed.  It is planned that all of the work on the 22 Level Haulage Project and its cross-cuts will be done  alongside normal mining production and should be completed by the end of 2013.  The budgeted cost of the 22 level Project utilizing internal resources is about US$ 900 per meter advanced and equipped for the planned 1,500m plus lateral tunnels totalling about $US 2.2 million to be funded from internal cash flows.  13   Caledonia Mining Corporation Mine OperationsQuarterly gold production has increased since mining and milling operations were resumed from 2,746 ounces in Q2 of 2009 to 10,533 ounces in Q4 of 2011.  Monthly production and costs have however been subject to significant fluctuations largely due to the incidence of interruptions to electrical power, particularly prior to the installation of new electrical generators, and the increased labour costs.

Production from this area benefitted from the completion in the preceding quarter of the new raise bored ore pass which enabled ore to be moved from the draw points on 18 Level to the 18 Level grizzlies and dropped directly via the new ore pass onto the 22 Level grizzlies feeding the ore bins above the crushing station and automated skip loading system.  The more widespread use of long-hole stoping has increased mining productivity, but at the expense of a marginal dilution in achieved grade.Production from AR South between 22 Level and 18 Level provided approximately 21% of production in the Quarter.  Long-hole stoping was successfully introduced to this area and has resulted in increased production tonnages albeit with some associated grade dilution which has been exacerbated by some faulting in the current mining areas.  It is anticipated, however, that the planned delivered ore grades will be achieved during the remainder of 2012.The balance of mining production (approximately 49%) came from the AR Main, Blanket, Lima and Eroica ore bodies.The main development activities include:•               Extension of the 14 Level haulage (510m below surface datum) to link the Eroica and Lima ore bodies to provide access to resources at Lima between 510m and 230m;•               Development at Eroica to open the resource block between 630m and 510m; and•               Development at AR Main to provide access between 630m and 510m.•              An existing crosscut on 18 Level has been refurbished and equipped and will now be used to carry out resource drilling below 750m pending further development of the Level 22 Haulage.Management is confident that the development work outlined above and the recent and continuing improvements to the underground haulages and other infrastructure will allow mine production to be sustained at the average target rate of 1,000 tonnes per day.Gold ProductionGold produced in Q4 of 2011 was 10,533oz, an 8.1% increase on the 9,743oz produced in the preceding quarter and a 69% increase on the 6,227oz produced in the comparative 2010 quarter.  This was the seventh consecutive quarterly increase in gold production.  Total gold production in 2011 was 35,826oz, a 102% increase over the annual gold production in 2010 of 17,707oz.   14   Caledonia Mining Corporation The tonnes milled, average mill feed grades, plant gold recovery and gold produced during January and February 2012, the whole 2011 year, the fourth quarter of 2011 and the preceding four quarters are shown in the table below.Blanket Mine Production Statistics  YearTonnes Milled(t)GoldHead (Feed)  Grade(g/t)Gold RecoveryGold Produced  (oz)Average sales  price per ounce of gold sold (US$/oz)February201226,2063.7193.1%

This resulted from the completion in the preceding quarters of the raise-bored ore pass between these major ore transporting levels, improvements to the track condition of the main underground haulages and maintenance of underground ore production and transport equipment.The gold head grade in Q4 2011 was 3.86g/t which was consistent with the mine plan for Q4; the average grade achieved in 2011 was 4.01g/t Au, which was somewhat better than the planned grade of 3.85g/t Au.  The reduction in gold grades during the last 2 quarters of 2011, which has continued into early 2012, is the result of a combination of factors which include: the mining of lower grade areas which are commercially viable at the prevailing gold price; the more widespread use of long-hole stoping which, whilst allowing increased mining tonnages, has an adverse effect on grade control; and the incidence of some faulting at AR South which had an adverse effect on realised grades.Plant recoveries showed a further improvement during Q4 2011 increasing to 93.4% compared to a target of 91.0%. This is due to investments made in improvements to the crushing and carbon-in-leach (CIL) sections earlier in the year.  The two new gyratory crushers and the associated triple-deck crushed ore sizing screen continued to operate well and are capable of providing adequate sized crushed ore for the mill feed at a rate well in excess of the targeted 1,000 tonnes per day (tpd).  The improved consistency of smaller product ore size delivered to the mills contributed to an improvement in gravity gold recovery circuit.The CIL plant improvements included new agitator gearboxes and mixers, and the installation of an automated cyanide leach-reagent dosing and control system.Power availability in Q4 2011 remained reasonably stable although as anticipated, ZESA was unable to maintain a completely uninterrupted supply. The power loss for the Year was significantly lower at 120.5 hours compared to 1,718 hours during 2010.  The standby generators operated as designed for 63.7 hours during Q4 and allowed full operations to continue during the ZESA power interruptions to normal electricity supply.As advised previously, essential maintenance work on the No. 4 Shaft and head structure had an adverse effect on production during January and February 2012.  However, this work will allow for increased hoisting speeds which will be required to allow increased future production if sufficient ore can be made available from underground.  This No. 4 shaft work had largely been completed by early March and production in March was approximately 3,600 ounces of gold.  Mine production tonnages and gold production thereafter have now improved to the level required to reach the targeted gold production of 40,000oz for 2012.OutlookBlanket has achieved its annualized targeted production rate of 40,000 ounces per annum, which is expected to be sustained as a result of the 2011 improvements in the underground handling systems and ongoing mine development.  Essential maintenance work on the No. 4 Shaft and Headgear Structure in early 2012 had a temporary and minor effect on production during that period.  Increased hoisting speeds will soon be possible and these are required to allow increased future production if sufficient ore can be made available from the Blanket underground.   15  Caledonia Mining Corporation The surplus capacity of the Blanket crushing and milling plant enables it to immediately treat additional feed material from the Blanket underground and from the GG and Mascot Project Area mines if the planned exploration/development work is successful.There is significant upward pressure on costs, taxes and regulatory fees in Zimbabwe.  Nevertheless, Blanket has surplus capacity at the metallurgical plant and is sufficiently cash generative that it can invest in projects with a view to further increasing production, thereby helping to maintain downward pressure on the cost per ounce of gold produced. EXPLORATION AND PROJECT DEVELOPMENTBase MetalsCopper and Cobalt Base MetalsNama Project – Zambia PropertyCaledonia Nama Limited (“Nama”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, holds four, contiguous large scale mining licenses covering approximately 800 square kilometres on the Zambian Copperbelt.  The northern boundary of Caledonia’s licenced area is the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) border and the eastern boundary abuts the licence area that is held by a joint venture between Vale and African Rainbow Minerals where a new copper mine is currently under construction.Prior to the 2011 programme, exploration activities had defined three main styles of mineralization in the Nama Licence area:  a)“A-type” cobalt oxide mineralisation;  b)“D-type’ iron oxide bodies which are mostly enriched in Cobalt; and  c)Copper dominated ore shale hosted copper-cobalt mineralisation, commonly observed elsewhere in the Copperbelt and which is being exploited by neighbouring mines to the east and south of the Nama Licence Areas.2011 Exploration ProgrammeThe 2010 exploration programme identified two resource targets at Nama (being “Konkola East” and “Kafwira”) which were characterised as belonging to the ore shale-hosted copper-cobalt style of mineralisation.  The 2011 programme was focussed initially on Konkola East where a four-hole diamond drilling programme was carried out with the primary objective of confirming the existence of the Ore Shale member of the Copperbelt stratigraphy.  The results of this programme confirmed the existence of Ore Shale in all holes.  The Ore Shale intersection in holes 1 and 2 was found at depths and copper grades that do not merit further exploration at this stage.Evaluation of the drill core extracted from holes 3 and 4 identified a zone of mineralisation which occurs at considerably shallower depths than the Ore Shale and does not occupy a specific stratigraphic layer as would be expected.  Assays of the mineralised zones identified in holes 3 and 4 were sufficiently encouraging to warrant a fifth hole that was drilled in late 2011 and which also intersected the newly identified mineralised zone.Preliminary Evaluation of the Results of the 2011 Drilling ProgrammeThe new mineralised zone identified in holes 3, 4 and 5 is considered to be a contiguous zone.  The assay results for the three intersections have a weighted average of 0.47% copper over a weighted average width of 41 metres at depths between 280 and 450 metres.  Holes 3 and 4 are approximately 1,650 metres apart representing a minimum strike length of the mineralisation. The interpreted structure of the mineralised zone suggests that the zone may extend to surface within the Nama Licence.Although the copper grades of the newly identified zone are lower than existing mines in the region, the zone is relatively shallow and the ore mineralogy found in holes 3, 4 and 5 is un-oxidised chalcopyrite, a mineral which is readily recoverable by conventional flotation that is recognized as a relatively low-cost metallurgical process.   16   Caledonia Mining Corporation 2012 Exploration ProgrammeCaledonia’s Board has reviewed the results of the 2011 exploration programme and the recommendations of management.  Caledonia believes that it should focus on the Konkola prospect and accordingly, it has approved an exploration programme for Nama in 2012 which has the following objectives: ·  Phase 1: Drilling of additional relatively-shallow holes comprising approximately a total 2,400 metres with the objective of identifying a continuation of the newly discovered mineralized zone towards surface.  This phase of the exploration programme is expected to start as soon as ground/weather conditions permit and results of this work are expected 4 to 5 months thereafter.  ·  Phase 2: Drilling of additional deeper holes comprising approximately a total of 6,000 metres with the objective of identifying the nature of a deeper continuation of the above mineralised zone.  This work will take place after completion of Phase 1 and is expected to take approximately 8 to 10 months.  ·  Phase 3: Provided the results of the Phase 1 programme are positive, a further shallow hole drilling programme focussed on delineating and evaluating resources compliant with NI 43-101 will be presented to the Caledonia Board for approval prior to possible commencement.  This Phase may commence during Phase 2 activities. Substantial additional exploration work may be required in future years to arrive at a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate at Nama.Further information with respect to the Nama properties is given in Exhibits 14c, 14d and 14g.PGE’sRooipoort & Mapochs Platinum, Gold, Palladium /Ni/Cu (“PGM”) Project - South Africa The Rooipoort rights are held by Maid O’ the Mist, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.  Maid O’ the Mist is the vehicle that will be used to manage the Rooipoort platinum exploration program. An application in terms of the provisions of the applicable Act is in progress to treat the 5 adjoining prospecting rights at Rooipoort as a single right and to extend the period of this consolidated right for a further three years.The prospecting rights granted to the Corporation to prospect for Platinum Group Elements (PGE)s on the major portions of the Mapochsgronde tribal trust land are currently in the process of registration.  A further application has been made for an adjoining property to the north of the current rights applied for.  The Corporation is still waiting the issuing of the prospecting right following its registration.Activities at Rooipoort/Mapochs properties were suspended during 2010 due to the lack of progress on the part of the South African Department of Mineral Resources in registering the licence areas in the names of Caledonia’s local subsidiaries.  This has now been completed but work remains suspended until the prospecting right renewals have been granted.Further information with respect to the Rooipoort property is given in Exhibits 14c, 14f and 14g.GoldZimbabwe Exploration The Corporation’s primary exploration activities in Zimbabwe are at the Blanket Mine, which are discussed in section 6.6 (Lima Haulage).  Other than at Blanket Mine itself, Blanket’s current exploration title holdings in the form of registered mining claims in the Gwanda Greenstone Belt total 78 claims, including a small number under option, covering an area of about 2,500 hectares.  Blanket’s main exploration efforts on its satellite properties are focused at this stage on the GG prospect and the Mascot Project Area which are believed to have the greatest potential of success and both of which are within an economic trucking distance of the Blanket plant.   17  Caledonia Mining Corporation Drilling programs were carried out at GG over the past eight years.  Seventeen diamond-cored holes were drilled amounting to 4,751 metres of drilling.  Two zones of potentially economic gold mineralization have been established down to a depth of approximately 200m, each with a strike length of approximately 150 metres.  A prospect shaft will be sunk down to a depth of 140 metres and underground development is planned at the 60m and 120m levels to expose the extent of the mineralization.  During 2011 work was suspended pending ZESA’s connection of the project to the electricity grid.  This connection was delayed due to ZESA’s inability to fund the equipment required for the connection.   Blanket has now purchased the required equipment and provided financial assistance to ZESA so that it can complete the construction of this connection.   ZESA expects to complete the GG sub-station by the end of the second quarter of 2012.  In order to accelerate this project a shaft-sinking contractor has been appointed and a camp is currently being built to accommodate its staff.   As soon as the ZESA connection is installed, the deepening of the existing prospect shaft can continue and underground development on the first and second levels will commence to expose the extent of the mineralization and to facilitate its evaluation, sampling and mine planning.  Depending on the successful outcome of exploration work and mining development, it is intended that economic ore extracted would be trucked approximately 7km to the Blanket plant for processing.The Mascot Project Area comprises three existing shafts (Mascot, Penzance and Eagle Vulture) which extend down to various depths of up to 450 metres. These shafts and other infrastructure are in need of extensive rehabilitation.  Production at these shafts ceased decades ago due to a combination of political difficulties and the limitations of the technology that was then available.  Blanket Mine Management believes that the application of modern exploration and processing techniques may allow some or all of these shafts to operate profitably for a period of time, and not just at the prevailing high gold price.  Priority has been given to the rehabilitation and installation of infrastructure at Mascot and Eagle Vulture shafts.  Work at Eagle Vulture has continued during the Quarter with one development crew.  Work at Mascot was suspended due to the lack of a connection to the electricity grid.  Blanket has now purchased the required equipment and provided financial assistance to ZESA so that it can complete the construction of this connection. Work on this connection has now commenced and ZESA expects to complete this work by the end of April 2012.  Depending on the outcome of exploration work, it is intended that economic ore would be trucked a distance of approximately 40 km to the Blanket Mine plant for processing.The Blanket Mine metallurgical plant has existing surplus treatment capacity and could immediately handle up to an additional 800 tonnes per day of ore without any further capital investment nor increased overheads.Blanket is formulating an exploration and project development strategy to prioritize work on its other properties in the Gwanda area.Outlook The outlook for the aforementioned exploration properties is not possible to quantify.  Exploration by its nature is speculative with a high degree of risk accompanied by the potential for high returns.  The Corporation manages this risk by using well-qualified exploration professionals.  Continuing lower prices for platinum group metals and reduced investor appetite for South African base metals has resulted in a severe contraction of exploration expenditures for platinum group metals by mining companies and could negatively affect the likelihood of the Corporation negotiating joint venture agreements for its wholly-owned PGE exploration properties. The Corporation intends, where possible, to continue to focus its exploration activities of prospective properties by developing the properties through strategic alliances with other mining companies and metal producers. The Zimbabwe economy continues to be depressed and Zimbabwe’s economic capacity may struggle to expand further.  Pressure for unrealistic wage and price increases from labour and Zimbabwean suppliers continues.  There is also continuing pressure for higher taxes, both from national and local government and Blanket has accepted increased supply tariffs from the state-owned electricity utility (ZESA) to secure a more reliable power supply. The resuscitation of the mining industry is a stated high priority of the Government as its ability to quickly generate foreign currency is of paramount importance, but blatant political manoeuvring may over take this.  Notwithstanding these difficulties, and in the absence of any unforeseen changes to the operating and commercial environment, Blanket has now achieved sufficient critical mass and should be able to realise substantial economies of scale and an improvement in its cash-generative capacity.However, the Government’s aim to foster the rapid regeneration of the Zimbabwean mining sector has been severely undermined by recent regulations and other pronouncements which seek to immediately enforce stringent indigenization requirements which will deter new investment into the Zimbabwean mining industry and result in a further contraction of the mining industry.  18   Caledonia Mining Corporation     19   Caledonia Mining Corporation     20   Caledonia Mining Corporation =   21   Caledonia Mining Corporation  General CommentsCaledonia’s activities are centered in Southern Africa.  Generally, in the gold mining industry the work is not seasonal except where heavy seasonal rainfall can affect surface mining or exploration.  Caledonia is not dependent, to any material extent, on patents, licenses, contracts, specialized equipment or new manufacturing processes at this time.  However, there may be occasions that Caledonia may wish to adopt such patents, licenses, specialized equipment, etc. if these are economically beneficial to its operations.All mining and exploration activities are conducted under the various Economic, Mining and Environmental Regulations of the country where the operations are being carried out.  It is always Caledonia’s standard that these regulations are complied with by Caledonia.  Otherwise its activities risk being suspended.(C)Organizational Structure - SubsidiariesCaledonia Mining Corporation owns 100% of the shares of the following incorporated subsidiary  companies:  Zambia:Barbados:      - Caledonia Mining (Zambia) Limited- Blanket (Barbados) Holdings Limited - Caledonia Western Limited- Caledonia Holdings (Africa) Limited - Caledonia Nama Limited   - Caledonia Kadola Limited        South Africa:Zimbabwe:      - Eersteling Gold Mining Company Limited- Blanket Mine (1983)(Private)( Limited) - Greenstone Management Services (Pty)Limited- Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe Limited - Fintona Investments (Pty) Ltd- Caledonia Mining Services Limited - Maid O’Mist (Pty) Limited   - Mapochs Exploration (Pty) Ltd        England:Panama:      - Greenstone Management Services Limited- Dunhill Enterprises Inc.

Of the amount invested in 2011, Blanket accounted for $5,768,000 ($6,706,000 - 2010), Nama accounted for $2,709,000 ($609,000 - 2010) and Rooipoort accounted for $30,000 ($37,000 - 2010).The basic and diluted net income per share for 2011 was $0.024 ($0.003 in 2010). This has been calculated using a weighted average number of shares of 500,396,239 (500,169,280 in 2010).As at December 31, 2011, the Corporation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy.

Trend InformationWith the completion of the No. 4 Shaft expansion project, annual gold production will increase from the 2011 level of 35,826 ounces to approximately 40,000 ounces during 2012.  It is anticipated that the employee headcount will increase to approximately 820 employees. The productions costs per ounce are therefore expected to reduce at above the 40,000 ounce production level as the fixed employment costs are amortized over higher monthly production volumes.The Company does not have a hedging programme. 6.        INVESTINGDuring 2011, the Corporation invested $8,528,000 in capital assets and mineral properties ($7,304,000 in 2010).   Of the amount invested in 2011, Blanket accounted for $5,768,000 ($6,706,000 - 2010), Nama accounted for $2,709,000 ($609,000 - 2010) and Rooipoort accounted for $30,000 ($37,000 - 2010).   23   Caledonia Mining Corporation 7.FINANCING Caledonia financed its operations, except Blanket, using funds on hand.  No equity raisings programs took place in 2011.  Caledonia’s operations will be financed from existing cash resources and dividend payments from Blanket.  Blanket has a facility of US$2.5 million with its bank in Zimbabwe and had an outstanding balance of $430,000 ($747,000-2010) owing at the year end pursuant to such facility.8.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES With the increase of production at Blanket, inventory levels of consumables, spares and gold in process have risen to $4,482,000 ($2,624,000 - 2010).  Accounts payable levels of $3,841,000 ($3,882,000 - 2010) have increased accordingly with production.  Blanket had $430,000 ($747,000 – 2010) of bank borrowing outstanding at the year end.  The Rand Refinery payments continue to be cleared within the contracted period thereby assisting cash management.Caledonia has potential liabilities to do rehabilitation work on the Blanket and Eersteling Mines - if and when those Mines are permanently closed - at an estimated current cost of $1,785,000  ($1,899,000 - 2010).9.

38The Corporation has a management agreement with Epicure Overseas S.A. (“Epicure”), for management services provided by the President and CEO.  The Corporation is required to pay a base annual remuneration and an expense allowance adjusted for inflation and bonuses as set out in the agreement.  In the event of a change of control of the Corporation, Epicure can terminate the agreement and receive a lump sum payment equal to 200% of the remuneration for the year in which the change occurs.These related party transactions were in the normal course of operations and are recorded at the exchange amount.On January 1, 2005 the Corporation entered into an agreement with the Corporation’s former Chairman for services as the non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. This agreement was terminated in December 2010.12           CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES   24   Caledonia Mining Corporation The major areas where accounting estimates are made are asset impairment, asset retirement obligations, share based payments, future tax liabilities and functional currency. As significant impairment provisions have already been made against the assets, and there is a reasonable level of certainty around the estimates, it is considered unlikely that any change in estimates would result in a material impact on the results of Caledonia.  The asset retirement obligations are also considered to be estimated with a reasonable degree of certainty, although the original estimations were calculated some years ago.  The estimation for Blanket was recalculated before December 31, 2009.  The estimations are accreted annually at rates between 1.7% and 5% and thus any change in circumstances is considered unlikely to have a material impact on the results of Caledonia or its operations.A detailed description of the Company’s accounting policies is contained in Note 4 of the Company’s 2011 audited financial statements which are attached as Exhibit 14a. The accounting policies set out in Note 4 of the Company’s 2011 audited financial statements been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and in preparing the opening IFRS statement of financial position at January 1, 2010 for the purposes of the transition to IFRS, unless otherwise indicated. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Group entities. Recently issued accounting pronouncements issued and not yet effective.Standard/Interpretation Effective dateIFRS 7 amendment Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets Annual periods beginning on or after  July 1, 2011IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013IAS 1 amendment Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income Annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 There are new or revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations in issue that are not yet effective.  Management have considered all of these Standards and Interpretations and have concluded that those that may have an impact on future consolidated financial statements are the following: The assessment of the impact of the above Standards and Interpretations is as follows: Amendment to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: DisclosuresThe amendments to IFRS 7 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining Corporation for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2012.In terms of the amendments, additional disclosure will be provided regarding transfers of financial assets that are: ·  Not derecognised in their entirety and ·  Derecognised in their entirety but for which Caledonia Mining retains continuing involvement. To the extent that Caledonia Mining concludes transactions which involve transfer of its financial assets, it will comply with the required disclosures.IFRS 9 Financial Instruments   25  CaledoniaMining Corporation IFRS 9 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2015. The standard will be applied retrospectively, subject to transitional provisions.IFRS 9 addresses the measurement and classification of financial liabilities and will replace the relevant sections of IAS 39.Under IFRS 9, the classification and measurement requirements of financial liabilities are the same as per IAS 39, except for the following two aspects: ·  fair value changes for financial liabilities (other than financial guarantees and loan commitments) designated at fair value through profit or loss that are attributable to the changes in the credit risk of the liability will be presented in other comprehensive income (OCI). The remaining amount of the fair value change is recognised in profit or loss. However, if this requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, then the whole fair value change is presented in profit or loss. The determination as to whether such presentation would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch is made on initial recognition and is not subsequently reassessed. ·  Under IFRS 9 (2010) derivative liabilities that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at fair value. IFRS 9 incorporates, the guidance in IAS 39 dealing with fair value measurement and accounting for derivatives embedded in a host contract that is not a financial asset, as well as the requirements of IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives. IFRS 9 may impact the current classification of financial assets from amortised cost to fair value.  The current classification of financial liabilities is not expected to be impacted. IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial StatementsIFRS 10 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2013. The standard will be applied retrospectively if there is a change in the control conclusion between IAS 27/SIC 12 and IFRS 10.IFRS 10 introduces a single control model to assess whether an investee should be consolidated. This control model requires entities to perform the following in determining whether control exists: ·  Identify how decisions about the relevant activities are made, ·  Assess whether the entity has power over the relevant activities by considering only the entity’s substantive rights, ·  Assess whether the entity is exposed to variability in returns, and ·  Assess whether the entity is able to use its power over the investee to affect returns for its own benefit Control should be assessed on a continuous basis and should be reassessed as facts and circumstances change. IFRS 10 may result in certain subsidiaries no longer being consolidated or others to be consolidated under the new requirements.IFRS 11 Joint ArrangementsIFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement. The IFRS is to be applied by all entities that are a party to a joint arrangement. It provides a new definition of joint arrangement focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The IFRS defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (i.e. activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. IFRS 11 classifies joint arrangements into two types—joint operations and joint ventures, defines the two types, and requires a party to a joint arrangement to determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. IFRS 11 addresses the inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for interests in jointly controlled entities. IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 21 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC 13 Jointly Controlled Entities – Nonmonetary Contributions by Venturers.IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other EntitiesIFRS 12 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2013.IFRS 12 combines, in a single standard, the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, as well as unconsolidated structured entities.The required disclosures aim to provide information to enable user to evaluate:   26   Caledonia Mining Corporation ·  The nature of, and risks associated with, an entity’s interests in other entities, and ·  The effects of those interests on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The adoption of the new standard will increase the level of disclosure provided for the entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities.IFRS 13 Fair Value MeasurementIFRS 13 will be adopted by Caledonia for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2013. The standard will be applied prospectively and comparatives will not be restated.IFRS 13 introduces a single source of guidance on fair value measurement for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by defining fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value and setting out disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. The key principles in IFRS 13 are as follows: ·  Fair value is an exit price ·  Measurement considers characteristics of the asset or liability and not entity-specific characteristics ·  Measurement assumes a transaction in the entity’s principle  (or most advantageous) market between market participants ·  Price is not adjusted for transaction costs ·  Measurement maximises the use of relevant observable inputs and minimises the use of unobservable inputs ·  The three-level fair value hierarchy is extended to all fair value measurements Currently the impact on the financial statements for Caledonia is expected to be minimal as Caledonia Mining only has limited items measured at fair value. Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial StatementsThe amendment to IAS 1 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2013.The company will present those items of other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future separately from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss. The related tax effects for the two sub-categories will be shown separately.This is a change in presentation and will have no impact on the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements.This amendment will be applied retrospectively and the comparative information will be restated. Additional amendments are of a presentation nature and will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. 13.            FINANCIAL RISK EXPOSURE AND RISK MANAGEMENT The Corporation is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks by virtue of its activities. The overall financial risk management program focuses on preservation of capital, and protecting current and future Corporation assets and cash flows by reducing exposure to risks posed by the uncertainties and volatilities of financial markets. The Board of Directors has responsibility to ensure that an adequate financial risk management policy is established and to approve the policy. The Corporation’s Audit Committee oversees management’s compliance with the Corporation’s financial risk management policy. The fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments approximates their carrying value unless otherwise noted.  The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows:  27   Caledonia Mining Corporation (a)   Currency Risk As the Corporation operates in an international environment, some of the Corporation’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian Dollar, mainly the South African Rand and the US$. The results of the Corporation’s operations are subject to currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. The operating results and financial position of the Corporation are reported in Canadian dollars in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar in relation to other currencies will consequently have an impact upon the profitability of the Corporation and may also affect the value of the Corporation’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity. As noted below, the Corporation has certain financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Corporation does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its foreign currency risks.Below is a summary of the cash or cash equivalents denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar that would be affected by changes in exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar.  The values are the Canadian dollar equivalent of the respective asset or liability that is denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar.
C$‘000s20112010Cash9,2101,067Bank overdraft(430)(747)Accounts Receivable Receivable3,4742,302Accounts payable(3,413)(3,474)(b)   Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Unless otherwise noted, it is the opinion of management that the Corporation is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as it is debt free apart from short term borrowings utilized in Zimbabwe.  The Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates. The Corporation manages its interest rate risk by endeavouring to maximize the interest income earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. The Corporation’s policy focuses on preservation of capital and limits the investing of excess funds to liquid term deposits in high credit quality financial institutions. Cash held in foreign banks is subject to the interest rates ruling in those particular countries and this can have an effect on the results of the Corporation due to higher interest rates being paid in African countries compared to Canada. At December 31, 2011 cash held in interest bearing accounts amounted to $9,686,000 ($1,145,000 - 2010) and short term borrowings in Zimbabwe were $430,000 ($747,000 – 2010).  At December 31, 2011, with all other variables unchanged, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in an increase of interest (income)/expense of ($93,000) (($4,000 – 2010). Fluctuations in market interest rates have not had a significant impact on the Corporation’s results of operations. (c)   Concentration of Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Corporation if a gold sales customer fails to meet its contractual obligation. Current gold sales are made to Rand Refineries in South Africa and the payment terms stipulated in the service delivery contract have been adhered to in all instances.  There are no plans to change the existing relationship with Rand Refineries. (d)   Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation manages its liquidity by ensuring that there is always sufficient capital to meet its estimated cash requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Corporation’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Corporation believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the anticipated cash requirements. Senior management is also actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures by regularly monitoring cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.   28   Caledonia Mining Corporation The Zimbabwean operations are now covered for Public Liability risk, assets all risk and Comprehensive cover on all motor vehicles. (e)   Commodity Price Risk The value of the Corporation’s mineral resource properties is related to the price of gold, platinum and cobalt, and the outlook for these minerals. In addition, adverse changes in the price of certain key or high cost operating consumables can significantly impair the Corporation’s cash flows. Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Corporation's control, including, but not limited to, industrial and retail demand, central bank lending, forward sales by producers and speculators, levels of worldwide production, short-term changes in supply and demand because of speculative hedging activities, and macro-economic variables, and certain other factors related specifically to gold. Recent $US gold price movements have been ascending but the effect of devaluation of the US$ against the Canadian $ and the South African Rand has mitigated against the higher US$ gold price. Caledonia has not hedged any of its past or future gold sales.14.       CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Corporation’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue its mining operations and exploration potential of its mineral properties. The Corporation’s capital includes short-term debt, long-term debt and equity, comprising issued common shares, contributed surplus, accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive income. The Corporation’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations, to provide returns for shareholders, accommodate any asset retirement obligation and to pursue growth opportunities. In order to fund and maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Corporation does not pay dividends.15.DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEESADirectors and Senior ManagementA brief profile of each of the Directors and the senior management is given below:Carl Jonsson,LL B- Chairman, Director, Secretary and legal adviser to CaledoniaMr. Jonsson is a lawyer and has been associated with the resource industry for over 40 years.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and assessed the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.  As required by Rule 13(a)-15 under the Exchange Act, in connection with this annual report on Form 20-F, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer, we have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011, and we have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective and that certain disclosable material weaknesses existed, as at December 31, 2011 as disclosed below.Based on that evaluation the CEO and CFO have determined that the Company still has insufficient personnel to ensure appropriate segregation of duties within the Financial Reporting and Review Process. Specifically, the responsibilities assigned to the Company’s CFO include substantially all financial statement and note creation functions. No additional personnel in the Company, apart from the members of the Audit Committee, perform functions at a level of precision and involvement that would adequately prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. As an additional result of the insufficient personnel the Company did not maintain formal policies and procedures regarding end-user computing control over the access to, completeness, accuracy, validity, and review of, certain spreadsheet information that supports the financial reporting process.Management has concluded that, despite the lack of segregation of duties and computing controls, a material misstatement in financial reporting is not a “reasonable possibility” (as defined in applicable SEC guidance).  The Blanket Mine (which is operated by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Blanket Mine (1983) (Private) (Limited) is the Company’s only operating mine and preparation of its operating results are performed by the CFO of the subsidiary and an accounting team in Zimbabwe. These results are reviewed by Company management and then incorporated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has a Disclosure Committee consisting of three Directors , and has disclosure controls and procedures which it follows in an attempt to ensure that it complies with all required disclosures on an adequate and timely basis.  The Company’s Directors and Management, and the Disclosure Committee, are making all reasonable efforts to ensure that the Company’s disclosures are made in full compliance with the applicable rules and requirements.  All reasonable efforts are also being made to ensure that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that the material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s Certifying Officers by others within those entities and to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.   37   Caledonia Mining Corporation (b)           Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”)The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting by the Company. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to senior management, including the Corporation's President and Chief Financial Officer, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.  Management of the Corporation, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as at December 31, 2010 as required by Canadian securities laws pursuant to the certification requirements of Multilateral Instrument 52-109.The Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) are intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with applicable IFRS.Because of its inherent limitations, the Corporation's ICFR may not prevent or detect any or all misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.The Corporation has engaged independent consultants to carry out an assessment of the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting using an internationally acceptable framework.  Prior to this engagement, management concluded that the following disclosable material weakness existed and still exist as at December 31, 2011.Based on the above and having carried out a review of the independent consultants report on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011, due to the existence of material weakness as described in greater detail below.Segregation of duties Due to limited personnel resources at the Corporation’s Africa office in Johannesburg, adequate segregation of duties within the accounting group was not achieved.  This created a risk that inaccurate entries could be made and not identified or corrected on a timely basis.  The result is that the Corporation was highly reliant on the performance of mitigating procedures during its financial close processes in order to ensure the financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects.  The Corporation continues to enhance and monitor this process to ensure that its financial accounting reporting system is able to prevent and detect potentially significant errors. Additional accounting staff  have been recruited to the Corporation’s Africa office in Johannesburg and the Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe. This has improved but not entirely eliminated the deficiency in the segregation of duties and lightened the work load of existing staff and improved control of the accounting function. Management has concluded, and the Audit Committee has agreed that the hiring of additional staff to correct segregation of duties weakness and excessive workloads need to be addressed at this time.  There have been no changes in the Corporation’s  internal controls over financial reporting since the year ended December 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.   38   Caledonia Mining Corporation The Corporation has a Disclosure Committee consisting of three Directors, and has disclosure controls and procedures which it follows in an attempt to ensure that it complies with all required disclosures on an adequate and timely basis.  The Corporation’s Directors and Management, and the Disclosure Committee, are making all reasonable efforts to ensure that the Corporation’s disclosures are made in full compliance with all of the applicable rules, regulations and requirements.  All reasonable efforts are also being made to ensure that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Corporation, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Corporation’s Certifying Officers by others within those entities. (c)           Attestation Report of registered public accounting firmThis Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this Annual Report.(d)           Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of 17 CFR 240.13a-15 or 240.15d-15 that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer’s internal control over financial reporting.

 47   Caledonia Mining Corporation  MANAGEMENT’S  RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION To the Shareholders of Caledonia Mining Corporation: Management has prepared the information and representations in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements of Caledonia Mining Corporation (“Company”) have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and, where appropriate, these statements include some amounts that are based on best estimates and judgment. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects. Financial information used elsewhere in the Annual Report is consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements. The Management Discussions and Analysis (MD&A) also includes information regarding the impact of current transactions and events, sources of liquidity and capital resources, operating trends, risks and uncertainties. Actual results in the future may differ materially from our present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected. The Company maintains adequate systems of internal accounting and administrative controls, consistent with reasonable cost. Such systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that relevant and reliable financial information is produced. Our independent auditor has the responsibility of auditing the annual consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on them. Management have concluded that as a result of the relatively small size of the Company’s head office finance department personnel, the Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) assessment concluded that there were limited resources to adequately segregate duties and to permit or necessitate the comprehensive documentation of all policies and procedures that form the basis of an effective design of ICFR. In order to mitigate the risk of material misstatement in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company implemented additional cash flow review and monitoring controls at head office on a monthly basis and as part of their monitoring and oversight role the Audit Committee performs additional analysis and other post-closing procedures. No material exceptions were noted based on the additional year end procedures and no evidence of fraudulent activity was found. The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee is composed of three unrelated directors. This Committee meets periodically with management and the external auditor to review accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting matters. The consolidated financial statements have been audited on behalf of the shareholders by the Company’s independent auditor, BDO Canada LLP, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  The independent auditor’s report outlines the scope of their examination and their opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,  2011 were approved by the Board of Directors and signed on its behalf on March 29,  2012.  S. E. Hayden                                                                                                                              S. R. Curtis President and Chief Executive Officer                                                                Vice-President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer   48   Caledonia Mining CorporationINDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTOF REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM  To the shareholders of Caledonia Mining Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Caledonia Mining Corporation, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Caledonia Mining Corporation as at December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 53   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 1          Reporting entity Caledonia Mining Corporation is a company domiciled in Canada. The address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 1201, 67 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M5E 1J8 Canada. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2011 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” or “Company” and individually as “Group entities”). The Group primarily is involved in the operation of a gold mine and the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties for the exploration of base and precious metals. 2          Basis for preparation (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These are the Group’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards has been applied. An explanation of how the transition to IFRS has affected the reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Group is provided in note 30. The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on March 29, 2012. (b) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following item in the statement of financial position: ·  available for sale financial assets are measured at fair value (c) Presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand. 3          Use of estimates and judgements Management makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.   54   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 3          Use of estimates and judgements The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both. Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements are discussed below: i) Rehabilitation Provisions Rehabilitation provisions have been created based on the Company’s internal estimates. Assumptions, based on the current economic environment, have been made which management believes are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These estimates take into account any material changes to the assumptions that occur when reviewed regularly by management. Estimates are reviewed annually and are based on current regulatory requirements. Significant changes in estimates of contamination, restoration standards and techniques will result in changes to provisions from period to period. Actual rehabilitation costs will ultimately depend on future market prices for the rehabilitation costs which will reflect the market condition at the time of the rehabilitation costs are actually incurred.  The final cost of the currently recognized rehabilitation provisions may be higher or lower than currently provided for. ii) Exploration and Evaluation (“E&E”)Expenditure The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure when determining when E&E properties are impaired requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in the profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available. iii) Title to Mineral Property Interests Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.   55   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 3          Use of estimates and judgements – (continued) iv) Income Taxes Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities. In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward to the extent that there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity against which the unused tax losses can be utilized or sufficient estimated taxable income against which the losses can be utilized. However, utilization of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the taxable entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped. v) Share-based Payment Transactions The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in note 20. vi) Impairment At each accounting period end the Company determines if impairment indicators exist, and if present, performs an impairment review of the non-monetary assets held in the Group. The exercise is subject to various judgement decisions and estimates. Financial assets are also reviewed regularly for impairment. Further details of the judgements and estimates made for these reviews are set out in Note 4(g). vii) Functional currency The functional currency of each entity in the Group is determined after considering various primary and secondary indicators which require management to make numerous judgement decisions. The determination of the functional currency will have a bearing on the translation process and ultimately other comprehensive income.   56   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4          Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and in preparing the opening IFRS statement of financial position at January 1, 2010 for the purposes of the transition to IFRS, unless otherwise indicated. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Group entities.  (a) Basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of Group entities have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. (ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (b) Foreign currency
(i) Functional currencies The functional currencies of Caledonia Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries are the Canadian dollar, US dollar and South African Rand (“ZAR”). These consolidated financial statements have been translated into the Canadian dollar in accordance with IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. This standard requires that assets and liabilities be translated using the exchange rate at period end, and income, expenses and cash flow items are translated using the rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions (i.e. the average rate for the period).When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the item are considered to form part of the net investment in a foreign operation and are recognized in OCI. When an entity disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control, or significant influence over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in OCI related to the foreign operation are recognized in profit or loss. If an entity disposes of part of an interest in a foreign operation which remains a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in OCI related to the subsidiary are reallocated between controlling and non-controlling interests.  57   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 4          Significant accounting policies - (continued) All resulting translation differences are reported in other comprehensive income.
(ii) Foreign currency translation In preparing the financial statements of the Group entities, transactions in currencies other than the Group entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each statement of financial position date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the year end foreign exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit for the year. (c) Financial instruments (i) Non-derivative financial assets The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and available-for-sale financial assets. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.  The impairment loss on receivables is based on a review of all outstanding amounts at period end. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.   58   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4          Significant accounting policies – (continued) Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or that are not classified in any other categories of financial assets. The Group’s investments in equity securities and certain debt securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-for sale equity instruments, are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented within equity in accumulated other comprehensive income. When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss. (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities Financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Group has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: bank overdrafts and trade and other payables. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.  (d) Share capital Common shares Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.   59   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4          Significant accounting policies – (continued) (e) Property, plant and equipment (i) Recognition and measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets. Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation expenditures (“E&E”) are capitalized in addition to the acquisition costs. These direct expenditures include such costs as materials used, surveying costs, drilling costs, payments made to contractors and depreciation on plant and equipment during the exploration phase. Costs not directly attributable to exploration and evaluation activities, including general administrative overhead costs, are expensed in the year in which they occur. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development. Exploration and evaluation assets are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to mine under development. All direct costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties are capitalized until the properties to which they relate are ready for their intended use, sold, abandoned or management has determined there to be impairment. If economically recoverable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related property are reclassified as mineral properties being depleted and depreciated. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognised within other income in profit or loss.   60   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4          Significant accounting policies – (continued) (e) Property, plant and equipment – (continued) (ii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. (iii) Depreciation Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment, except for mineral properties, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. On commencement of commercial production, depreciation of each mineral property and development is provided for on the unit-of-production basis using estimated proven and probable reserves. Where the total reserves are not determinable because ore bearing structures are open at depth or are open laterally, the straight-line method of depreciation is applied over the estimated life of the mine. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: ·  buildings 10 to 15 years ·  plant and equipment 10 years ·  fixtures and fittings 5 to 10 years ·  computer equipment 4 to 5 years ·  motor vehicles 4 years Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. (f) Inventories Consumable stores are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of consumable stores is based on the weighted average cost principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of gold in process, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the common course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.   61   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4           Significant accounting policies – (continued) (g) Impairment
(i) Financial assets (including receivables) A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Objective evidence that financial assets (including equity securities) are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost provides objective evidence of impairment. The Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables at both the specific asset and collective level. All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together receivables with similar risk characteristics. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment losses on available-for-sale investment securities are recognised by transferring the cumulative loss that has been recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in accumulated other comprehensive income in equity, to profit or loss. The cumulative loss that is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss. Changes in impairment provisions attributable to time value are reflected as a component of interest income.   62   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4           Significant accounting policies – (continued) (g) Impairment – (continued)
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security or receivable increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss. However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other comprehensive income. (ii) Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories, prepayments and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is considered to be the price that would be paid by a knowledgeable market participant. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit, or CGU”). The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of Gus are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been an indication of reversal and a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. The test for recoverability of E&E assets can combine several Gus as long as the combination is not larger than a segment. The definition of a CGU does, however, change once development activities have begun. There are special impairment triggers for E&E assets. Despite certain relief in respect of impairment triggers and the level of aggregation, the impairment standard is applied in measuring the impairment of E&E assets. Reversals of impairment losses are permitted in the event that the circumstances that resulted in impairment have changed.   63   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4           Significant accounting policies – (continued) (g) Impairment – (continued)
E&E assets are only assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an E&E asset may exceed its recoverable amount and upon transfer to development assets (therefore there is no requirement to assess for indication at each reporting date until the entity has sufficient information to reach a conclusion about the commercial viability and technical feasibility of extraction). Indicators of impairment include the following: ·  The entity's right to explore in the specific area has expired or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed ·  Substantive expenditure on further E&E activities in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned ·  The entity has not discovered commercially viable quantities of mineral resources as a result of E&E activities in the area to date and has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area ·  Even if development is likely to proceed, the entity has sufficient data indicating that the carrying amount of the asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale (h) Employee benefits (I) Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan that is due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.
(ii) Share-based payment transactions The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees and directors is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the award. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date.   64   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4           Significant accounting policies – (continued) (h) Employee benefits – (continued) Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the remaining vesting period or immediately for awards already vested. Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the statement of comprehensive income.
(iii) Short term employee benefits The cost of all short term employee benefits is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service. (I) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. (j) Site restoration The Company recognises liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets.  The net present value of future rehabilitation cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to mineral properties along with a corresponding increase in the rehabilitation provision in the period incurred.  Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value.    The Company’s estimates of rehabilitation costs, which are reviewed annually, could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures.  These changes are recorded directly to mineral properties with a corresponding entry to the rehabilitation provision.  Changes resulting from production, excluding changes in the Company’s estimates of rehabilitation costs, are charged to profit and loss for the period.  The costs of rehabilitation projects that were included in the rehabilitation provision are recorded against the provision as incurred.  The cost of on-going current programs to prevent and control pollution is charged against profit and loss as incurred.   65   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4           Significant accounting policies – (continued)  (k) Revenue Revenue from the sale of precious metals is recognized when the metal is accepted at the refinery, risk and benefits of ownership are transferred and the receipt of proceeds are substantially assured.  (l) Finance income and finance costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense on the rehabilitation provisions and impairment losses recognised on financial assets and also includes interest on bank overdraft balances. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. (m) Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.   66   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4           Significant accounting policies – (continued)  (n) Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to  common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise share options granted to employees and directors.

Management have considered all of these Standards and Interpretations and have concluded that those that may have an impact on future consolidated financial statements are the following: The assessment of the impact of the above Standards and Interpretations is as follows: Amendment to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures The amendments to IFRS 7 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining Corporation for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2012. In terms of the amendments, additional disclosure will be provided regarding transfers of financial assets that are:   Not derecognised in their entirety and   Derecognised in their entirety but for which Caledonia Mining retains continuing involvement. To the extent that Caledonia Mining concludes transactions which involve transfer of its financial assets, it will comply with the required disclosures. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 9 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2015. The standard will be applied retrospectively, subject to transitional provisions. IFRS 9 addresses the measurement and classification of financial liabilities and will replace the relevant sections of IAS 39. Under IFRS 9, the classification and measurement requirements of financial liabilities are the same as per IAS 39, except for the following two aspects:   fair value changes for financial liabilities (other than financial guarantees and loan commitments) designated at fair value through profit or loss that are attributable to the changes in the credit risk of the liability will be presented in other comprehensive income (OCI). The remaining amount of the fair value change is recognised in profit or loss. However, if this requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, then the whole fair value change is presented in profit or loss. The determination as to whether such presentation would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch is made on initial recognition and is not subsequently reassessed.   Under IFRS 9 (2010) derivative liabilities that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at fair value. IFRS 9 incorporates, the guidance in IAS 39 dealing with fair value measurement and accounting for derivatives embedded in a host contract that is not a financial asset, as well as the requirements of IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives. IFRS 9 may impact the current classification of financial assets from amortised cost to fair value.  The current classification of financial liabilities is not expected to be impacted.   68   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4           Significant accounting policies – (continued) IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements IFRS 10 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2013. The standard will be applied retrospectively if there is a change in the control conclusion between IAS 27/SIC 12 and IFRS 10. IFRS 10 introduces a single control model to assess whether an investee should be consolidated. This control model requires entities to perform the following in determining whether control exists:   Identify how decisions about the relevant activities are made,   Assess whether the entity has power over the relevant activities by considering only the entity’s substantive rights,   Assess whether the entity is exposed to variability in returns, and   Assess whether the entity is able to use its power over the investee to affect returns for its own benefit Control should be assessed on a continuous basis and should be reassessed as facts and circumstances change. IFRS 10 may result in certain subsidiaries no longer being consolidated or others to be consolidated under the new requirements. IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement. The IFRS is to be applied by all entities that are a party to a joint arrangement. It provides a new definition of joint arrangement focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The IFRS defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (i.e. activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. IFRS 11 classifies joint arrangements into two types—joint operations and joint ventures, defines the two types, and requires a party to a joint arrangement to determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. IFRS 11 addresses the inconsistencies in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for interests in jointly controlled entities. IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 21 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC 13 Jointly Controlled Entities – Nonmonetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities IFRS 12 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2013. IFRS 12 combines, in a single standard, the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, as well as unconsolidated structured entities. The required disclosures aim to provide information to enable user to evaluate:   The nature of, and risks associated with, an entity’s interests in other entities, and   The effects of those interests on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.   69   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)4           Significant accounting policies – (continued) The adoption of the new standard will increase the level of disclosure provided for the entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement IFRS 13 will be adopted by Caledonia for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2013. The standard will be applied prospectively and comparatives will not be restated. IFRS 13 introduces a single source of guidance on fair value measurement for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by defining fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value and setting out disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. The key principles in IFRS 13 are as follows:   Fair value is an exit price   Measurement considers characteristics of the asset or liability and not entity-specific characteristics   Measurement assumes a transaction in the entity’s principle  (or most advantageous) market between market participants   Price is not adjusted for transaction costs   Measurement maximises the use of relevant observable inputs and minimises the use of unobservable inputs   The three-level fair value hierarchy is extended to all fair value measurements Currently the impact on the financial statements for Caledonia is expected to be minimal as Caledonia Mining only has limited items measured at fair value. Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements The amendment to IAS 1 will be adopted by Caledonia Mining for the first time for its financial reporting period ending December 31, 2013. The company will present those items of other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future separately from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss. The related tax effects for the two sub-categories will be shown separately. This is a change in presentation and will have no impact on the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements. This amendment will be applied retrospectively and the comparative information will be restated. Additional amendments are of a presentation nature and will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.   70   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)5          Financial risk management Overview The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: ·  Currency risk ·  Interest rate risk ·  Credit risk ·  Liquidity risk ·  Commodity price risk This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements. The Group is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks by virtue of its activities. The overall financial risk management program focuses on preservation of capital, and protecting current and future Group assets and cash flows by reducing exposure to risks posed by the uncertainties and volatilities of financial markets. The Board of Directors has responsibility to ensure that an adequate financial risk management policy is established and to approve the policy. The Group’s Audit Committee oversees management’s compliance with the Group’s financial risk management policy. The fair value of the Group’s financial instruments approximates their carrying value unless otherwise noted. The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposures are managed are as follows: (a) Currency Risk As the Group operates in an international environment, some of the Group’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian Dollar. The results of the Group’s operations are subject to currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. The operating results and financial position of the Group are reported in Canadian dollars in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar in relation to other currencies will consequently have an impact upon the profitability of the Group and may also affect the value of the Group’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity. As noted below, the Group has certain financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Group does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its foreign currency risks. To reduce exposure to currency transaction risk, the Group maintains cash and cash equivalents in the currencies used by the Group to meet short‐term liquidity requirements.   71   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)5          Financial risk management – (continued) Below is a summary of the cash and cash equivalents denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar that would be affected by changes in exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar. The values are the Canadian dollar equivalent of the respective asset or liability that is denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar.   2011  2010  $  $Cash9,210  1,054Bank overdraft(430)  (747)Trade receivables3,474  2,302Trade payables(3,413)  (3,474)  (b) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Unless otherwise noted, it is the opinion of management that the Group is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as it is debt free apart from short term borrowings utilized in Zimbabwe.  The Group’s cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that earn interest at market rates. The Group manages its interest rate risk by endeavouring to maximize the interest income earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. The Group’s policy focuses on preservation of capital and limits the investing of excess funds to liquid term deposits in high credit quality financial institutions. Cash held in foreign banks is subject to the interest rates ruling in those particular countries and this can have an effect on the results of the Group due to higher interest rates being paid in African countries compared to Canada. Cash held in interest bearing accounts amounted to $9,686 (2010: $1,145) and short term borrowings in Zimbabwe were $430 (2010: $747). At December 31, 2011, with all other variables unchanged, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an increase of interest (income)/ expense of $(93) (2010: $(4))  which is insignificant.  Fluctuations in market interest rates have not had a significant impact on the Group’s results of operations. (c) Concentration of Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a gold sales customer fails to meet its contractual obligation. Current gold sales are made to Rand Refineries in South Africa and the payment terms are stipulated in the service delivery contract and are adhered to in all instances.   72   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)5          Financial risk management – (continued)(d) Liquidity RiskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.The Group manages its liquidity by ensuring that there is sufficient capital to meet its likely cash requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Group’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Group believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the anticipated cash requirements. Senior management is also actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures by regularly monitoring cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.Since the inception of dollarization in Zimbabwe, certain insurance cover has been reinstated. The Zimbabwean operations are now covered for Public Liability risk,  Assets all risk and comprehensive cover on all motor vehicles. Further insurance cover is currently under review. 6          Capital Management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the mining operations and exploration potential of the mineral properties.The Group’s capital includes shareholder’s equity, comprising issued common shares, contributed surplus, accumulated other comprehensive income, accumulated deficit and bank loans. The Group’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations, to provide returns for shareholders, accommodate any rehabilitation provisions and to pursue growth opportunities.In order to maximize ongoing exploration efforts, the Company does not pay dividends.As at December 31, 2011, the Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy. 7              Production costs   2011  2010  $  $Wages6,197  4,909Consumable materials12,117  5,969Site restoration50             44Exploration21  34Safety290  145Administration2,418  1,516  21,093  12,617   73   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 8              Administrative expenses   2011  2010    $  $Investor  relations196  145Indigenisation of Blanket326  -Management contract fee779  689Audit fee298  244Legal fee103  106Accounting services fee41  27Listing fees270  69Directors fees145  168Salaries and wages1,368  1,237Other151  122  3,677  2,807 9              Other expenses   2011  2010  $  $Impairment loss on trade receivables-  1,064  -   1,064  10              Finance income and finance costs Recognised in profit or loss        2011  2010  $  $Finance income55   270 Interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost(217)  (267)Net finance costs recognised in profit or loss(162)  3    74   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 11              Income tax expense     2011  2010    $  $Current tax expense        Current period  8,005  1          Deferred tax expense        Origination and reversal of temporary differences  785  1,041Change in previously unrecognised deductible temporary differences  (120)  -Recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses  (206)  -     459   1,041Total income tax expense  8,464  1,042 Reconciliation of tax provision   2011201120102010  %$%$Profit for the period  12,130  1,455Total income tax expense  8,464  1,042Profit excluding income tax  20,594  2,497          Income tax using Company's domestic tax rate28.25%5,81831%774Tax rate difference  (1,476)  (214)Foreign currency difference  1,075  (185)Withholding taxes  2,589  -Permanent differences  613  219Losses expired  -  5,467Change in unrecognized temporary differences  (155)  (5,019)Income tax expense  8,464  1,042 Changes in the applicable domestic tax rate are the result of enacted tax rate changes in Canada.   75   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 11              Income tax expense – (continued) Deferred tax assets and liabilities Unrecognised deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the following items:   2011  2010  $  $Deductible temporary differences3,427  3,399Tax loss carry - forward9,826  10,115   13,253   13,514 The Company has not recognised deferred tax liabilities in respect of unremitted earnings in foreign subsidiaries as it is not considered probable that this temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2011, these earnings amount to $8,151(2010 - $2,151). The tax losses expire as set out below. The deductible temporary differences do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits there from. In 2011 $737 of previously unrecognised tax losses and $430 of deductible temporary differences were recognised as management considered it probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised.

In the monetary policy statement announced by the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (“RBZ”) in February 2009, the debt owing by RBZ to Blanket Mine was converted into a Special Tradable Gold-Backed Foreign Exchange Bond, with a term of 12 months and an 8% interest rate. At January 1, 2010 the Bond was shown at the estimated recoverable amount of $810.  In arriving at this recoverable amount the Company estimated the weighted average probability of the Bond being redeemed over periods of up to 5 years and applied a discount factor of 43%.   91   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)24              Financial instruments – (continued) The Bond plus interest is guaranteed by RBZ on maturity.  Blanket has been unable to sell the Bond at an acceptable discount rate and the RBZ did not redeem the Bond on the initial maturity date nor any subsequently advised maturity dates.  As a result of the uncertain redemption date and the lack of information coming from the RBZ, the Bond has been written down to nil whilst Blanket continues to retain legal ownership of the RBZ debt. The basis for determining all other fair values is disclosed in note 4. Fair value hierarchy The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The Group early applied the exemption in IFRS 1 that allows an entity not to provide comparative information for periods ending before December 31, 2010 in respect of the fair value hierarchy disclosures below. The different levels have been defined as follows: ·  Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ·  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) ·  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The strategic business units are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Company’s CEO reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis. The following geographical areas describe the operations of the Group's reportable segments: Corporate, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia.The accounting policy of the reportable segments is the same as described in note 4.Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax, as included in the internal management report that are reviewed by the Group's CFO. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.  95   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)28               Operating Segments – (continued) Information about reportable segments 2011CorporateZimbabweSouth AfricaZambiaTotal  $$$$$External Revenue155,704--55,705Royalty-(2,514)--(2,514)Production costs-(20,489)(604)-(21,093)Administrative and share-based payment expenses(3,411)(305)(1,062)-(4,778)Depreciation-       (2,773)(210)-(2,983)Impairment--(3,884)-(3,884)Finance income--55-55Finance cost-(217)--(217)Foreign exchange gain/(loss)173130--303Segment profit before income tax(3,237)29,536(5,705)-20,594  -        Income tax expense-(8,791)327-(8,464)Segment profit after income tax(3,237)20,745(5,378)-12,130Geographic segment assets:          Current8,7037,6291,7794318,154Non Current5525,7531,1597,28134,248Expenditure on property, plant and equipment-5,768512,7098,528Geographic segment liabilities          Current(691)(3,535)(333)(7)(4,566)Non-current-(7,502)(320)-(7,822)               96   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 28               Operating Segments – (continued) 2010CorporateZimbabweSouth AfricaZambiaTotal  $$$$$External revenues-22,388--22,388Royalty-(825)--(825)Production costs-(12,204)(413)-(12,617)Administrative and share-based payment expenses(1,924)(274)(963)-(3,161)Depreciation-(2,367)(219)  (2,586)Other (expenses)/income-(1,064)    (1,064)Finance income-2691  270Finance expense-(267)    (267)Foreign exchange gain/(loss)8(539)890-359Segment profit before income tax(1,916)5,117(704)-2,497Income tax expense-(1,042)    (1,042)Segment profit after income tax(1,916)4,075(704)-1,455Geographic segment assets:          Current1,0704,380684426,176Non-current5622,3885,0574,48231,983Expenditure on property, plant and equipment  6,706(11)6097,304Geographic segment liabilities          Current(408)(3,244)(970)(7)(4,629)Non-current-(6,688)(362)-(7,050)   97   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 28               Operating Segments – (continued) Reconciliation of reportable segment revenues, profit or loss, assets and liabilities and other material items   2011  2010  $  $Revenues      Total revenue for reportable segments65,036  30,086Elimination of inter-segment revenue(9,331)  (7,698)Consolidated revenue55,705  22,388         Profit or loss      Total profit or loss before tax for the reportable segments21,685  6,255Elimination of inter-segment profits1,091  773Consolidated profit before income tax20,594  5,482        Assets      Total assets for reportable segments54,128  39,174Elimination of inter-segment profits(1,726)  (1,015)Consolidated total assets52,402  38,159        Liabilities      Total liabilities for reportable segments12,388  11,679 Other material items 2011   Reportable segment totalsElimination of   inter-segment profitsConsolidated totals  $$$Finance income55-55Finance cost(217)-(217)Expenditure on property, plant and equipment9,4138858,528Depreciation(3,157)174(2,983)   98   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 28               Operating Segments – (continued) Other material items 2010   Reportable segment totalsElimination of  inter-segment profitsConsolidated totals  $$$Finance income270-270Finance cost(267)-(267)Expenditure on property, plant and equipment7,8014977,304Depreciation(2,610)24(2,586) Major customer Revenues from one customer of the Group's Zimbabwe segment represents approximately $55,848 (2010: $22,388) of the Group's total revenues. 29                Subsequent events In 2008 the Zimbabwean parliament passed the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act 2007 (“Act”) that stipulated that 51% ownership of all companies had to reside in the hands of Indigenous Zimbabwean citizens. On February 20, 2012 Caledonia announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with the Minister of Youth, Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment of the Government of Zimbabwe pursuant to which Caledonia has agreed that Indigenous Zimbabweans will acquire an effective  51% ownership interest of the Blanket Mine for a paid transactional value of US$30.09 million on the following basis: ·  16% will be sold to the National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Fund; ·  10% will be sold to a Management and Employee Trust for the benefit of the present and future managers and employees of Blanket; ·  15% will be sold to identified Indigenous Zimbabweans; and ·  10% will be donated to the Blanket Gwanda Community Trust.  Blanket will also make a non-refundable donation of US$1.0 million to the Trust as soon as it has been established. Caledonia will facilitate the vendor funding of these transactions (other than the 10% interest which will be donated to the Community Trust) which will be repaid by way of future dividends from Blanket. Caledonia has undertaken to complete the implementation of all the components of the indigenisation transaction as soon as possible.  The Government of Zimbabwe has agreed that implementation of the terms of the MoU will constitute full compliance by Blanket and Caledonia with the requirements of the Act.   99   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)  29               Subsequent events – (continued) Further details of the MoU are subject to a confidentiality agreement. The above transactions are anticipated to be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, Share based payments, however an estimate of the financial statement effects is dependent on the finalisation of the various agreements related to the above transactions. 30               Explanation of transition to IFRS 1 As stated in note 2(a), these are the Group's first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.In the preparation of the quarterly IFRS compliant financial statements, certain interpretations of IFRS were applied. Having now completed the first annual financial statements under IFRS, some presentations adopted in the quarterly financial statements have been amended. The areas affected are: ·  The cumulative translation difference at the date of transition was not taken to accumulated deficit although the IFRS 1 exemption was adopted at transition, this has now been done in these annual financial statements. ·  The cumulative effect of exploration activities expensed in the subsidiary accounts were not capitalised in the quarterly IFRS financial statements in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. The exploration expenses attributable to the Rooipoort platinum property in South Africa have been fully impaired in these annual financial statements. The accounting policies set out in note 3 have been applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended  December 31, 2011, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and in the preparation of an opening IFRS statement of financial position at January 1, 2010 (the Group's date of transition). IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards sets forth guidance for the initial adoption of IFRS. Under IFRS 1 the standards are applied retrospectively at the transitional statement of financial position date with all adjustments to assets and liabilities taken to retained earnings unless certain exemptions are applied. The Company has applied the following exemptions to its opening statement of financial position dated January 1, 2010.  (a) Business Combinations IFRS 1 indicates that a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has taken advantage of this election.   100   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)   30          Explanation of transition to IFRS 1 – (continued) (b) Cumulative translation differences IFRS 1 allows a first-time adopter to not comply with the requirements of IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates for cumulative translation differences that existed at the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has chosen to apply this election and has eliminated the cumulative translation difference and adjusted accumulated deficit at the date of transition to IFRS. (c) Share-based payment transactions IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, first-time adopters to apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payments to equity instruments that were granted on or before November 7, 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to November 7, 2002 and vested before the later of the date of transition to IFRS and January 1, 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to awards that vested prior to January 1, 2010. (d) Borrowing Costs The Company has elected to apply the transitional provisions of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs which permits prospective capitalization of borrowing costs on qualifying assets whose construction commenced after the Transition Date.  In preparing its opening IFRS statement of financial position, the Group has not made any adjustments for borrowing costs in amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. An explanation of how the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS has affected the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables. IFRS employs a conceptual framework that is similar to Canadian GAAP. However, significant differences exist in certain matters of recognition, measurement and disclosure. While adoption of IFRS has not changed the Company’s actual cash flows, it has resulted in changes to the Company’s reported financial position and financial performance. In order to allow the users of the financial statements to better understand these changes, the Company’s Canadian GAAP statement of operations, statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 have been reconciled to IFRS, with the resulting differences explained.  In addition, a revised statement of financial position was prepared at the date of transition (January 1, 2010) with the resulting differences explained. (A) Estimates In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates under IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date under previous GAAP, unless there is objective   101   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)  30          Explanation of transition to IFRS 1 – (continued)  evidence that those estimates were in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates as of January 1, 2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for the same date. (B) Severe Hyperinflationary Environment for Blanket In recent years, Zimbabwe has been a severe hyperinflationary economy and Caledonia’s Blanket Mine has been specifically impacted by this. As a result of the situation in Zimbabwe, IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies was not applied because there was neither a reliable price index nor exchangeability of the Zimbabwean Dollar into a stable foreign currency (i.e. US Dollar). During 2009, the commonly used currency in Zimbabwe changed from Zimbabwean Dollar to US Dollar. As a result, the operations of Blanket Mine ceased to be subject to severe hyperinflation on this date. Caledonia has elected to measure Blanket’s assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS1.D29, which has been early adopted, and to recognise the difference as an adjustment to opening deficit. As a consequence of the above, the carrying values under IFRS increased over the amount under Canadian GAAP. With the resultant higher carrying value for Blanket Mine’s property, plant and equipment, and the same application of the same depreciation rates, the depreciation amount under IFRS increased over the amount under Canadian GAAP. In addition the deferred tax liability related to Blanket Mine’s property, plant and equipment increased under IFRS over the amount under Canadian GAAP. (C) Share-based payment IFRS • Each tranche of an award with different vesting dates is considered a separate grant for the calculation of fair value, and the resulting fair value is amortized over the vesting period of the respective tranches. • Forfeiture estimates are recognized in the period they are estimated, and are revised for actual forfeitures in subsequent periods. Canadian GAAP • The fair value of stock-based awards with graded vesting are calculated as one grant and the resulting fair value is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. • Forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.   102   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)  30          Explanation of transition to IFRS 1 – (continued) No change resulted in the figures because of these differences.  (D) Provision for environmental rehabilitation An obligation exists to perform certain site rehabilitation resulting from the Group's operations. Under IFRS, a liability can arise as a result of a constructive and/or legal obligation. However Canadian GAAP only requires a liability to be raised if there is a legal obligation. IFRS • The provision for environmental rehabilitation must be adjusted for changes in the discount rate. Canadian GAAP • The provision for environmental rehabilitation is not adjusted for changes in the discount rate. A small change in the figures resulted from this difference. (E) Deferred tax asset/liability IFRS • All deferred tax assets and liabilities must be classified as non-current and offset to the extent that they relate to the same entity and same taxation authority. Canadian GAAP • Deferred tax assets and liabilities can be classified as current or non-current as appropriate. As a result of the transition to IFRS the carrying amounts of various assets and liabilities have been adjusted (see B above).  There has not been a corresponding change to the tax basis of these assets and liabilities. As a result of the change in the carrying values of the Blanket assets, and other changes, the deferred tax liability has also increased. (F) Other comprehensive income (loss) Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the change in the accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) (“AOCI”). Due to other IFRS adjustments, the balances that are used to calculate the AOCI are different in accordance with IFRS than in accordance with Canadian GAAP. As a result, AOCI and other comprehensive income (loss) are different in accordance with IFRS than in accordance with Canadian GAAP.   103   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)  30               Explanation of transition to IFRS 1 – (continued) (G) Impairment IFRS – If an indication of impairment is identified, the asset’s carrying value is compared to the asset’s recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value, the asset is impaired by an amount equal to the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying value. Canadian GAAP - If indication of impairment is identified, the asset’s carrying value is compared to the asset’s undiscounted cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset is impaired by an amount equal to the difference between the fair value and the carrying value. The Company completed an analysis of its assets at January 1, 2010 and concluded that the assets were not impaired in accordance with IFRS. (H) Presentation The presentation of the cash flow statement in accordance with IFRS differs from the presentation of the cash flow statement in accordance with Canadian GAAP. In preparing its opening IFRS statement of financial position, the Group has adjusted amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. An explanation of how the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS has affected the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables. (I)  Functional currency Under IFRS the functional currencies of certain subsidiaries differed from the determination under Canadian GAAP. Accordingly the values for the non-monetary assets and liabilities have been adjusted on the transition to IFRS.   104   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)  30               Explanation of transition to IFRS 1 – (continued) Reconciliation of equity                                                                                               January 1, 2010   NoteCanadian GAAPEffect of    transition to IFRSIFRS    $$$Assets        Property, plant and equipmentB,I15,30412,91528,219Other investments  59 -59Trade and other receivables  810-810Total non-current assets  16,17312,91529,088          Inventories  2,590(3)2,587PrepaymentsI158 (28)130Trade and other receivables  1,54751,552Cash and cash equivalents  1,622 -1,622Total current assets  5,917(26)5,891Total assets  22,09012,88934,979          Equity and liabilities        Share capital  196,125 -196,125Contributed surplus  1,952-1,952Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) F,I(551)60150Accumulated deficitB,D,E(180,784)8,777(172,007)Total equity  16,7429,37826,120          Liabilities        ProvisionsD,I1,730591,789Deferred tax liabilityB8593,4544,313Total non-current liabilities  2,5893,5136,102Trade and other payables  2,171(2)2,169Bank overdraft  588 -588Total current liabilities  2,759(2)2,757Total Liabilities  5,3483,5118,859Total equity and liabilities  22,09012,88934,979  105   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars)  30               Explanation of transition to IFRS 1 – (continued) Reconciliation of equity  December 31, 2010  NoteCanadian GAAPEffect of  transition to IFRSIFRS    $$$Assets        Property, plant and equipmentB,I21,28910,68931,978Other investments  5-5Total non-current assets  21, 29410,68931,983          Inventories  2,626(2)2,624PrepaymentsI114(21)93Trade and other receivables  2,30952,314Cash and cash equivalents  1,145-1,145Total current assets  6,194(18)6,176Total assets  27,48810,67138,159          Equity and liabilities        Share capital  196,125-196,125Contributed surplus  2,306-2,306Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) F,I(1,062)(337)(1,399)Accumulated deficitB,D(178,527)7,975(170,552)Total equity  18,8427,63826,480          Liabilities        ProvisionsD,I1,7311681,899Deferred tax liabilityB2,2862,8655,151Total non-current liabilities  4,0173,0337,050          Trade and other payables  3,882-3,882Bank overdraft  747-747Total current liabilities  4,629-4,629          Total Liabilities  8,6463,03311,679          Total equity and liabilities  27,48810,67138,159   106   Caledonia Mining CorporationNotes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFor the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010(in thousands of Canadian dollars) 30               Explanation of transition to IFRS 1 – (continued)  Reconciliation of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2010  Note

 112  INFORMATION CIRCULARSOLICITATION OF PROXIESThis Management Proxy Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation by and on behalf of the management of Caledonia Mining Corporation (the "Company") of proxies to be used at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the "Meeting") of Shareholders of the Company to be held on Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 10.00 am local time, in Boardroom 44-01, 44th Floor, Scotia Plaza, 40 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of meeting.  It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by employees or agents of the Company.  The cost of any such solicitation by management will be borne by the Company.APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OFPROXIESThe persons named in the enclosed form of proxyare directors of the Company.  A shareholder desiring to appoint some otherperson to represent him at the Meeting may do soby inserting such person's name, which need notbe a shareholder of the Company, in the blankspace provided in the form of proxy and strikingout the names of the persons specified or bycompleting another proper form of proxy.  Proxies may also be submitted electronically pursuant to the Instructions which accompany this Information Circular.  In all cases, the completed proxy is to be deposited at, or supplied to, the offices of Equity Financial Trust Company, Suite 400, 200 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1 not later than 4:30 p.m. (Toronto, Canada local time) on Tuesday, May 24, 2011.A shareholder giving a proxy has the right to revoke the proxy by instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing and deposited at the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner permitted by law.EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIESThe persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the shareholders appointing them.  In the absence of such direction, such shares will be voted FOR  all of the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting and the re-election of the existing Directors and the election of any new directors.The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to any amendments or variations to matters identified in the notice of meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.  At the time of printing this management proxy circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.  113  VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPALHOLDERS THEREOFOn April 15, 2011, the Company had issued and outstanding 500,169,280 common shares, each carrying the right of one vote per share.  To the best of the knowledge of the directors and officers of the Company, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, shares carrying more than 10% of the votes attached to all issued shares of the Company.The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the record date as April 19, 2011 for the purpose of determining who is entitled to receive Notice of Meeting.  Shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be the shareholders of record at 4:30 p.m. (Toronto, Ontario time) on Tuesday, May 24, 2011.  The failure of any shareholder to receive notice of the Meeting shall not deprive the shareholder of voting at the Meeting.NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERSOnly registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.  Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the shares.  More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited [“CDS”]) of which the Intermediary is a participant.  Non-registered shareholders are advised that only proxies from shareholders of record will be recognized and voted at the meeting. In accordance with the requirements as set out in National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the form of Proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them.  Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders.  Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either: (a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed.  Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy.  In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent as provided above; or   114    (b) more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “proxy authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow.  Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form.  Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information.  In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company. In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit a Non-Registered Holder to direct the voting of the shares which they beneficially own.  Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the management proxy holders named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided.  In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.ELECTION OF DIRECTORSAll of the nominees are now members of the Board of Directors and have been since the dates indicated.  Management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director but, if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy reserve the right to vote for another nominee in their discretion.  Each director elected will hold office until the next annual meeting or until he ceases to be a director.  The names of the persons who will be nominated at the meeting for election as directors are set out below.

Jonsson has been, within the past 10 years, a director and/or officer of three companies the shares of which were/are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and its predecessor, in Canada, that were the subject of Cease Trade Orders issued by Provincial Securities Regulators having jurisdiction over them.  In the case of each company Mr. Jonsson held the positions incidental to his acting as the Solicitor for the companies:-Director and Secretary, August 1987 - August 2003, of Global CT & T Telecommunications Ltd.  Cease Trade Order was issued against it for failure to file and distribute financial statements - which has not been rescinded.-Director and Secretary of Global Net Entertainment Corp. until July 4, 2008.

Cease Trade Order was issued against it for failure to file and distribute financial statements - which was rescinded when the financial statements were filed.At the date of this Information Circular Caledonia Directors are also directors of the following public issuers: Stefan Hayden     -           none Chris Harvey                             -           noneJim Johnstone     -           none Steven Curtis                             -          none Carl Jonsson       -           Bonterra Energy Ltd.                    -           Comet Industries Ltd.                    -           Acrex Ventures Ltd.                    -           Dolly Varden Resources Inc.                    -           Geomark Exploration Ltd.                    -           Pine Cliff Energy  Ltd                       -             Alita Resources Ltd.                -             Astorius Resources Ltd.  Robert W. Babensee -                          none         116  APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORSThe shareholders will be asked to vote for the appointment of BDO Canada LLP (formerly named BDO Dunwoody LLP) as Auditors of the Company, to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected or appointed,  at remuneration to be fixed by the Board of Directors.  Approval of the ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by holders of Common Shares represented at the meeting.INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPONNone of the directors or executive officers of the Company, no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, none of the persons who have been directors or executive officers of the Company since the commencement of the Company's last completed financial year and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.REAPPROVAL OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLANOn April 10, 2008, the Company implemented a Shareholders Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”), the terms and conditions of which are set out in the Shareholders Rights Plan Agreement dated April 10, 2008 - with Equity Transfer Services Inc., as Rights Agent.  The Rights Plan was submitted to – and approved by – the general meeting of the shareholders held May 16, 2008.  The Rights Plan has a term of approximately three years and will remain in effect until the completion of the first annual meeting of shareholders of the Company occurring following three years from May 16, 2008, unless extended by the shareholders. The Rights Plan will therefore expire May 26, 2011 unless the shareholders vote to reapprove it and extend it.  The Rights Plan is similar to plans adopted by other Canadian public companies and approved by their shareholders.Purpose of the Rights PlanThe Rights Plan has been designed to protect shareholders of the Company from unfair, abusive or coercive take-over strategies, including the acquisition of control of the Company by a bidder in a transaction or series of transactions that does not treat all shareholders equally or fairly or provide all shareholders an equal opportunity to share in the premium paid on an acquisition of control.  The Rights Plan provides management and the Board with more than the 35 day statutory minimum period under Canadian securities laws to review the terms of a take-over bid and solicit alternative offers.  The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent a take-over or deter fair offers for securities of the Company.  Rather, it is designed to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of the Company to make an offer that represents fair value to all holders of common shares.The Rights Plan could cause substantial dilution to a person or group who attempts to acquire control of the Company other than through a Permitted Bid (as defined below) or on terms approved by the Board.  The Rights Plan provides that take-over bids that meet predetermined standards of fairness will be Permitted Bids and will proceed without triggering the potentially dilutive effects of the Rights Plan.  The Permitted Bid concept, which is found in most shareholder rights plans, ensures that senior management of the Company and the Board do not impair the rights of shareholders to obtain, review and accept or decline take-over bids.  The Rights Plan is designed to afford the Board the opportunity to present to the shareholders of the Company a detailed analysis of a bid and additional time to consider alternatives to an unfair or inadequate proposal and, if it considers such action to be in the best interests of all shareholders, to commence an orderly auction of the shares or assets of the Company for the benefit of all shareholders.  117  If a bidder does not wish to make a Permitted Bid, the bidder can negotiate with and obtain prior approval of the Board to make an offer on terms that the Board considers fair to all shareholders.  In such circumstances, the Board may redeem the Rights or waive the application of the Rights Plan, thereby allowing such offer to proceed without dilution to the bidder.  The adoption of the Rights Plan does not relieve the Board of its fiduciary duties to act in the best interests of all shareholders and does not prevent a take-over bid or merger or other business combination that the Board, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, determines to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.  Moreover, the Rights Plan does not inhibit the use of the proxy solicitation rules under applicable legislation to promote a change in the management or direction of the Company.The reapproval and extension of the Rights Plan is not being proposed by the Board in respect to or in anticipation of any specific take-over bid or proposed bid or other transaction.  Rather, the Rights Plan is intended to address the Board’s concern that, in the current business and legal environment in which the Company operates, there is the potential for unfair treatment of shareholders that should be guarded against to the extent practicable.  The Board is concerned that under current law an acquirer could use coercive or other abusive take-over practices to obtain control of the Company without paying a fair price and without negotiating with the Board acting on behalf of all shareholders. The Board also believes that the timetable for take-over bids prescribed by the Canadian securities laws could impair the Board’s ability to ensure that all other alternatives to maximize shareholder value are thoroughly explored.In response to these concerns, the Board considered the desirability and the practicability of various strategies to deter unfair or abusive take-over practices and, in particular, whether a shareholder rights plan would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and, if so, what the appropriate characteristics of such a shareholder rights plan would be.  The Board concluded that the adoption of the Rights Plan was appropriate.In considering whether to approve the adoption of the Rights Plan, the Board considered the current legislative framework in Canada governing take-over bids.  Under provincial securities legislation a take-over bid generally means an offer to acquire voting or equity shares of a person or persons, where the shares subject to the offer to acquire, together with shares already owned by the bidder and parties related to the bidder, an aggregate of 20% or more of the outstanding shares.Summary of the Rights PlanThe following is a summary of the principal terms of the Rights Plan which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Rights Plan.Grant of RightsFollowing the creation of the Rights Plan in 2008, share purchase rights (each a “Right”), were issued to each of the holders of common shares of the Company (each, a “Share”) at the rate of one Right for each Share outstanding.  Until the Separation Time (as defined below), the Rights will be attached to and are transferred only with the Shares.  As such, no certificates representing Rights have been issued.  118  Rights Exercise PrivilegeAfter a person (an “Acquiring Person”) acquires 20% or more of the Shares of the Company or commences a take-over bid to acquire Shares of the Company, other than by way of a Permitted Bid (the “Separation Time”), the Rights will separate and trade separately from the Shares and will be exercisable.  The acquisition by an “Acquiring Person” of 20% or more of the Shares, other than by way of a Permitted Bid, is hereinafter referred to as a “Flip-in Event”.  Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person will become void upon the occurrence of a Flip-in Event.Ten business days after the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, each Right (other than those held by the Acquiring Person), will permit its holder to purchase shares at a significant discount to the market price of the Company’s common shares.The issue of the Rights is not initially dilutive.  However, upon a Flip-in Event occurring and the Rights separating from the Shares, reported earnings per share on a fully diluted or non-diluted basis may be affected.  Holders of Rights not exercising their Rights upon the occurrence of a Flip-in Event may suffer substantial dilution.Certificates and TransferabilityPrior to the Separation Time, the Rights will be evidenced by a legend imprinted on certificates for Shares issued from and after the Effective Date and will not be transferable separately from the Shares.  Promptly following the Separation Time, separate certificates evidencing the Rights (the “Rights Certificates”) will be mailed to holders of record of Shares as of the Separation Time and the separate Rights Certificates will evidence the Rights.Permitted BidsThe requirements for a Permitted Bid include the following:(a)           the take-over bid must be made by way of a take-over bid circular;(b)           the take-over bid must be made to all holders of Shares;(c)Shares tendered pursuant to the take-over bid may be taken up only after the expiry of not less than 60 days and then only if at such time more than 50% of the Shares held by shareholders other than the bidder, its affiliates and persons acting jointly or in concern with the bidder (“Independent Shareholders”) have been tendered to the take-over bid and not withdrawn;(d)shareholders who tender their shares to the take-over bid must be permitted to withdraw their shares prior to the shares being taken up and paid for;  and(e)if more than 50% of the Shares held by Independent Shareholders are tendered to the take-over bid within the 60 day period, the bidder must make a public announcement of that fact and the take-over bid must remain open for deposits of Shares for an additional 10 business days from the date of such public announcement.  119  The Rights Plan allows for a competing Permitted Bid (a “Competing Bid”) to be made while a Permitted Bid is in existence.  A Competing Bid must satisfy all the requirements of the Permitted Bid except that it may expire on the same date as the Permitted Bid, subject to the statutory requirement that it be outstanding for a minimum period of 35 days.Waiver and RedemptionThe Board may, prior to the Flip-in Event, waive the dilutive effects of the Rights Plan in respect of a particular Flip-in Event resulting from a take-over bid made by way of a take-over bid circular to all holders of Shares of the Company, in which event such waiver would be deemed also to be a waiver in respect of any other Flip-in Event occurring under a take-over bid made by way of a take-over bid circular to all holders of Shares.  The Board may also waive the Rights Plan in respect of a particular Flip-in Event that has occurred through inadvertence, and may, in such circumstances require that the Acquiring Person that inadvertently triggered such Flip-in Event reduce its beneficial holders to less than 20% of the outstanding Shares of the Company prior to such waiver being granted.  With the majority consent of shareholders or Rights holders at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, the Board may at its option redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Rights at a price of $0.0001 each.Exemption for Investment AdvisorsInvestment managers (for client accounts), trust companies (acting in their capacities as trustees and administrators), statutory bodies (managing investment funds for employee benefit plans, pension, plans, insurance plans or various public bodies), administrators and trustees of pension bunds, securities depositories and Crown agents, any of whom acquire greater than 20% of the Shares of the Company, are exempted from triggering a Flip-in Event provided that they are not making, or are not part of a group making, a take-over bid.Supplements and AmendmentsThe Company is authorized to make amendments to the Rights Plan to correct any clerical, typographical error or subject to subsequent ratification by shareholders or Rights holders, to maintain the validity of the Rights Plan as a result of changes in law, or at the request of the Exchange.  The Company will issue a news release relating to any significant amendment made to the Rights Plan Agreement prior to the Meeting and will advise the shareholders of any such amendment at the Meeting.  Other amendments or supplements to the Rights Plan may be made with the prior approval of shareholders or Rights holders and, if necessary, the Exchanges.Shareholder ApprovalThe Company is seeking, at the Meeting by way of ordinary resolution, shareholder reapproval of the Rights Plan and the extension of the Plan until the date of the Company’s 2014 annual general meeting.The Board has concluded that the reapproval and extension of the Rights Plan is in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders.  The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution reapproving and extending the Rights Plan.The Rights Plan may be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. and the Company’s website.  Copies are also available on request.  120  REAPPROVAL OF STOCK OPTION PLAN AND OF AMENDMENTS TO PLANThe shareholders will be asked to reapprove the Company’s Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) dated April 10, 2007, as amended March 31, 2011, and the amendments the Board approved effective March 31, 2011.  Pursuant to the rules of The Toronto Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), option plans must be submitted to the shareholders for reapproval not less often than every 3 years and amendments to plans must also be approved by the shareholders.  The Plan was reapproved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held May 16, 2008.The Company proposes reapproval of the Plan and the amendments.  The principal terms of the Plan - which is considered to be a “rolling plan” - are that:  (a)the total number of options that the Company has outstanding at any one time can never be as to a number of shares which exceed 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company;  (b)the terms and the exercise prices of options granted will at all times be entirely within the policies and rules of the Exchange.  The Board determines the exercise prices of new options granted; provided that they may not be less than the closing price of the Company’s shares on the Exchange on the last trading day prior to the granting of the options.  (c)options will be only granted to Company - and subsidiary Company - directors, officers, employees and service providers;  (d)options will only be granted which have been approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board;  (e)vesting of options will be determined at the discretion of the Board;  (f)the maximum term of an option will be 5 years from the date of the grant of the option;  (g)in the case of the death of an optionee the estate of the deceased optionee will be allowed to exercise the options for 1 year following the date of death;  (h)if an optionee’s relationship with the Company is terminated for cause, his option will cease to be exercisable as of the date of termination.  If the relationship is terminated by the optionee the option will cease to be exercisable 30 days after the termination;  (i)options are non-assignable.As the Company, as of the date of this Information Circular, has 500,169,280 issued shares, options cannot be granted on this date as to more than 10% of the issued shares - being 50,016,928 shares of the Company.  As of this date the Company has granted options to its - and its Subsidiaries’ - directors, officers and service providers as to a total of 42,540,000 shares (being approximately 8.5%) of the Company.  Therefore, the Company could, based on the present issued share capital, issue options as to a further 7,476,928 shares (approximately 1.5%) - which are available for issuance until May 16, 2011 - and after May 26, 2011 if the Plan is reapproved at the Meeting.As of March 31, 2011 the Board adopted a number of minor non-material amendments to the Plan - for the purpose of having it more specifically refer to certain provisions in the Rules of the Exchange.  A copy of the Plan, as amended, is attached as Appendix “C” with the amendments highlighted for identification by the shareholders.  The amendments consist generally of the following:  (a)the addition of a limit, of 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company, on the number of shares that may be optioned or made issuable to insiders of the Company at any time, or within any one year period under all security based compensation arrangements;  (b)the addition of a provision which allows the Board to make any changes to the Plan without shareholder approval except in the circumstances where (1) the number of shares made issuable under the Plan are changed;  (2) the exercise price of an option is reduced;  (3) the term of an option is extended beyond the original expiry date;  or (4) the number of options to any class or category of optionees is changed;  (c)the addition of a provision that allows for the expiry date of an option to be extended in the circumstances where an option would otherwise expire due to a share trading blackout period imposed by the Company;  and   (d)an addition to allow the Company to withhold taxes on the exercise of options in accordance with new rules imposed by Canada Revenue Agency.  121  The shareholders will first be asked to pass a general resolution approving the amendment.  The shareholders will then be asked to pass a second general resolution reapproving the Plan as amended.  The shareholders who hold options that have been granted to them pursuant to the Plan will not be entitled to vote on the reapproval resolution.Regardless of the outcome of the vote with respect to the approval of the Plan all previously granted options will continue in existence.  If the Plan is not reapproved the Company will not be able to grant any further options.QUORUM REQUIREMENTSThe quorum requirement is that there be two members present in person or by proxy and that there be shareholder representation in person or by proxies of shareholders holding at least 5% of the issued shares of the Company.  As the Company has 500,169,280 shares issued the requirement for the forthcoming meeting will be that there be shareholder representation of at least 25,008,464 shares.OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPONThe Company will consider and transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The Management of the Company knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting. Should any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by the proxy solicited hereby will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting by proxy.REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONCompensation of Named Executive OfficersThe following table, presented in accordance with the requirements of Canadian National Instrument 51-102, sets forth all annual and long term compensation for services in all capacities to the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 in respect of the Company’s named executive officers:  A named executive officer (“NEO”) means each of the following individuals: (a)           The Chief Executive Officer; (b)           the Chief Financial Officer;

At that date all of the outstanding options had exercise prices in excess of $0.07 per share - which means that they were - and had been for some time - “out of the money”.  The repricing of the options required the approval of the shareholders - which was granted at the annual general shareholders meeting, held May 18, 2010.  The repricing was subsequently approved by the Exchange and the Company resolved to make the repricing effective August 10, 2010.  124  Incentive plan awards – value vested or earned during the yearDuring the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 no incentive plan awards were granted to any of the NEOs.Compensation Discussion and AnalysisThe Company pays – and rewards – its NEO’s in the amounts specifically detailed in the Tables above.  The following comments with respect to the remuneration of the NEO’s are provided pursuant to the requirements of Canadian Securities National Instrument 51-102:  (a)In providing the compensation, and structuring it with the various elements, the Company’s objective is to reward the NEO’s generously enough that they are sufficiently happy with their remuneration that they are keen to stay in the service of the Company and motivated to provide the highest quality services possible.  (b)The compensation packages of the NEO’s contain various elements, as follows:(i)Mr. Hayden’s compensation contains a number of elements:  A.His compensation is provided through an agreement with a management services contract with Epicure Overseas S.A., a private Panamanian company (“management company”), which contain requirements for the payment of the equivalent of a basic salary, an annual increase in the basic rate of pay based on increases in the annual Canadian Cost Of Living Index, and bonuses for reaching certain specified benchmarks.  The benchmarks are the achievement of various defined elements of success with respect to progress in the Company’s development of its mineral properties, securing financing for the Company and achieving the completion of certain agreements that would be of particular benefit to the Company.  For each benchmark achieved the management company is entitled to receive a bonus equal to 7.5% of the base remuneration paid for the year in which the benchmark is achieved.  The remuneration paid to the management company for 2008 included two benchmark bonuses of $33,390 each – total $66,780.   No benchmark bonuses were paid to the management company during 2010.  The agreement with the management company also provides for the payment to it of a monthly amount to compensate for the personal expenses incurred by Mr. Hayden in performing his services for the Company - in lieu of having to keep records and present invoices for the detailed expenses.  The monthly approved unvouchered expense allowance for 2010 in total was $98,484 (U.S.) and the amount is also increased annually by the annual increase in the South African cost of living index;  125    B.His remuneration also includes grants of share purchase options; C.Indirectly Mr. Hayden receives a further element of compensation in that the Company rents its Johannesburg office facilities from a private company, the shares of which are owned by members of Mr. Hayden’s family.   
 
(ii)The remuneration for Messrs. Curtis, Learmonth and Pearton consists of – a salary, discretionary bonus and share purchase options;  (iii)Mr. Rupert Pardoe resigned as a Director and Chairman of the Company effective December 10, 2010.  Mr. Pardoe’s remuneration, being renegotiated annually, was agreed to be $38,000 for 2010.
  (c)While the NEO’s have all been granted share purchase options they were, for most of the period until they were repriced to $0.07 per share, effective August 10, 2010, “out of the money” and had not resulted in the NEO’s receiving any benefits from the options.   Messrs. Hayden and Curtis are also paid the same per annum directors’ fees (currently $20,000 per annum) that are paid to all of the Directors.  (d)The various elements of the compensation of the NEO’s have been chosen to make the compensation packages competitive with what is offered by other comparable companies.  The actual amounts are settled by negotiations with the NEO’s from time to time.  (e)In settling the agreed amounts of the compensation payable to Mr. Curtis, and to Mr. Hayden’s management company, consideration was given to the fact that both of them work out of the Company’s office in Johannesburg, South Africa with minimal office support personnel – with the result that it is expected that they will, on average, work substantially longer than what might be considered normal hours for executives, and perform a wider variety of services for the Company than might otherwise be expected from people holding their positions.Director compensation tableThis table shows all amounts of compensation paid or provided to the Directors – exclusive of the NEO’s whose compensation is detailed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 5 - for the Company’s financial year ended December 31, 2010.  126  Name(a)Directors Feesearned($)(b)Share-basedawards($)(c)Option-basedawards($)(d)(1)Non-equityincentiveplancompensation($)(e)Pensionvalue($)(f)All othercompensation($)(g)Total($)(h)James Johnstone20,000------Christopher Harvey20,000------Carl R.

Effective August 10, 2010 the option exercise prices were all reduced to $0.07 per share. (2)           Carl R. Jonsson is a principal of the Vancouver law firm of Tupper, Jonsson & Yeadon which acts as the Company’s principal lawyers.  Mr. Jonsson’s services to the Company are rendered through Tupper Jonsson & Yeadon and he, accordingly, indirectly shares in fees paid to that firm for services rendered.  Mr. Jonsson does not get paid any other direct remuneration.The Company does not have a long-term incentive plan, a pension plan or other form of defined benefit plan – other than its Stock Option Plan.The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation paid to directors annually. Based on compensation paid to Directors at other companies comparable to Caledonia and on the additional risks and responsibilities assumed by the directors it recommends compensation paid to Caledonia’s directors.  From July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2009 the fees paid to Directors were $10,000 per year, an hourly amount for preparation and participating in telephone board meetings and a per diem fee for travel time to, and participating in, board meetings.  Since June 1, 2009 the fees have been changed to a flat $20,000 per year - plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in relation to attendance at Board or Committee meetings.  In addition to their Directors fees the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives annual fees of $10,000 and each member of the Audit Committee receives annual fees of $5,000.Since June, 2003 the Company has maintained Directors and Officers liability insurance for directors and officers of the Company and its affiliates with coverage of $2,000,000 Canadian per occurrence and in the aggregate.Termination of Employment, Change of Responsibilities and Employment ContractsThere are no service contracts between Caledonia and any of the Directors of Caledonia or its subsidiaries except for:(a)(i)  a "Key Executive Severance Protection Plan" between Caledonia and. S.E. Hayden dating from 1996 and (ii) the indirect employment of Mr. S.E.Hayden through a management and administrative agreement.  The “Severance Plan” calls for severance payments to Mr. Hayden if his employment is terminated as a result of a change of control of Caledonia;  127            (b)there are letters of appointment dated May 10, 2005 with Messrs. Harvey and Jonsson.  Caledonia has also entered into Indemnification Agreements with its Directors and Senior Officers.         (c)a service agreement between Caledonia and Mr. Curtis dated April 1, 2008.Composition of the Compensation CommitteeThe Company has a Compensation Committee (“Committee”) - presently comprised of two directors - Carl Jonsson (Chairman) and Robert Babensee.   All issues as to compensation of  the Officers are considered by the Committee, the members of which, during portion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, were Rupert Pardoe (Chairman), Carl Jonsson  and  Robert Babensee.  Mr. Pardoe abstained from voting on compensation matters pertaining to himself.  Mr. Pardoe provided the Company with consulting services for which he was compensated.   He was therefore a service provider within the past three years but was nevertheless considered independent.   Mr. Jonsson continues to provide the company with legal services and as a Director, Officer and Committee member.   He has therefore been a service provider within the past three years and is not considered an independent director.   Mr. Babensee is independent.PERFORMANCE GRAPHThe following graph and table compares the year-end value of the common shares of the Company with the TSX Composite Index for the last five years on the basis of cumulative total return.Caledonia Shares vs TSX Composite at December 31, 2010 (assuming $100 of Caledonia shares were purchased on January 1, 2006: Notwithstanding the fact that the value of the Company’s shares has, in some years, declined on the markets on which the shares trade, the compensation levels of the Company’s NEO’s have increased by amounts which were at, or in excess of, the inflation rates experienced in the countries in which the Company conducts its business activities and in which its shares trade.  The compensation of the Company’s NEO’s has never been determined in relation to the prices at which its shares have traded.  128  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICEThe Company is subject to Canadian National Instrument 58-101 (“NI 58-101”) Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices. This Instrument requires a company to include in its management information circular the disclosure required by Form 58-101F1.

Orientation and Continuing Education    (a)         Briefly describe what measures the Board takes to orient new directors regarding (i) the role of the Board, its committees and its directors, and                     (ii) the nature and operation of issuer’s business  The normal orientation for a new director includes meeting with the other directors and the senior management of the Company.  The goal is to provide a new director with a history of the Company and provide him/her with a briefing of the key strategies and issues that the Company is currently facing.  In addition, particularly if the director is new to the role of director, the orientation also includes a briefing of his/her responsibilities, regarding the legal responsibilities of being a director and an insider of the Company.  The orientation includes a discussion on how the Board and its committees function including the anticipated time commitments.

(b)         Describe any steps the Board takes to ensure directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest.    (c)         Describe any other steps the Board takes to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct.    The Board expects directors and Company employees to behave ethically at all times and has adopted a written code of ethics policy, which includes a “whistleblower” provision. A copy of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, dated April 8, 2004, can be found on the Company’s website at www.caledoniamining.com in the Corporate Governance Section The Board does not formally monitor compliance with the Code.  Directors maintain an informal awareness of the Code and would normally be alert to any violation of the Code.  The Board does not have any formal established procedures to alert it to any violations to the Code. There were no reported incidents relating to the Company’s Code of Ethics/whistleblower policy since its adoption in 2004. Directors are required to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest situation.  As such, the director must excuse himself from any such discussions and refrain from voting on any such issues.  The Chair may also request that a director excuse himself or abstain from voting on an issue if he feels that there may be a conflict.

The Company’s Nominating Committee consists of the Company’s President and CEO, Stefan Hayden and Carl Jonsson, the Company’s Chairman and Secretary.  The Nominating Committee undertakes no activities except if and when the Board determines that a new Director should or must be appointed.  However, all Directors recognize the value of having persons on the Board who can contribute - and all Directors therefore have an open mandate to stay alert to identifying persons who would be potentially valuable additions to the Board and to make recommendations in that regard to the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is comprised entirely of non independent Directors.  As to the Committee’s objectivity see sub-clause (a) above. See above 7.  Compensation    (a)         Describe the process by which the Board determines the compensation for the issuer’s directors and officers    (b)         Disclose whether or not the Board has a compensation committee composed entirely of independent Directors.

The Company has prepared the Compensation report “Corporation Discussion and Analysis” included in this Information Circular incorporating the new executive compensation disclosure requirements contained in the amendments to National Instrument 51-102 continuous disclosure obligations. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Robert Babensee (who is an “independent” Director, and Carl Jonsson who is considered to be “non-independent”.  Rupert Pardoe was also a member of the Compensation Committee until December 10, 2010.   In considering the annual compensation payable to Mr. Pardoe for 2010 and earlier years he excused himself from the deliberations of the Committee.  With respect to all other compensation generally it is considered by the full Board which has 50% “independent” Directors.  
 

 140    (c)          If the Board has a compensation committee, describe the responsibilities, powers and operation of the compensation committee. The principal responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to review the compensation for the directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman, and the executive officers of the Company, and to prepare the executive compensation report for disclosure to shareholders.    (d)         If a compensation consultant or advisor has, at any time since the beginning of the issuer’s most recently completed financial year, been retained to assist in determining compensation for any of the issuer’s directors and officers, disclose the identity of the consultant or advisor and briefly summarize the mandate for which they have been retained.  If the consultant or advisor has been retained to perform any other work for the issuer, state that fact and briefly describe the nature of the work.  Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee have at any time retained the services of a compensation consultant or advisor 8.  Other Board Committees If the Board has standing committees other than the audit, compensation and nominating committees, identify the committees and describe their function.  (i)  The primary role of the Corporate Governance Committee is to develop and implement corporate governance principles and policies established by the Board and to ensure that these principles are regularly reviewed, updated and adhered to. (ii)  The function of the Disclosure Committee is to maintain a current awareness of the disclosure requirements applicable to publicly traded companies and as required by the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange and securities regulatory authorities having jurisdiction.  Then the Committee and its members are expected to ensure that the disclosures by the Company are in compliance with those requirements.  9.  Assessments Disclose whether or not the Board, its committees and individual directors are regularly assessed with respect to their effectiveness and contribution.  If assessments are regularly conducted, describe the process used for the assessments. If assessments are not regularly conducted, describe how the Board satisfies itself that the Board, its committees, and its individual directors are performing effectively.  Neither the Board, the Committees nor individual Directors are regularly assessed with respect to their effectiveness and contribution.  In the annual Board Meetings held in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting there was always discussion of the performance of the Board and the Committees and, to date, except with reference to Rupert Pardoe in late 2010, there has always been the unanimous consensus that the Board, it’s Committees and its individual Directors are performing effectively.

 148  EXHIBIT #14dSUMMARY OF REPORTON THE NAMA PROPERTY IN ZAMBIAPrepared by Applied Geology Services ccon behalf ofCaledonia Mining CorporationMay 1, 2008Qualified Persons who prepared the Report -                           David E.C.S. Grant3 SummaryCaledonia Nama Limited (Caledonia (Nama)), a subsidiary of Caledonia Mining Corporation is the sole owner of a Retention Licence over approximately 80 000ha in the Solwezi District of the Northwestern Province of Zambia in sub-Saharan Africa. The licence has been granted for a period of three years from February 2007 after which it must be converted to mining titles. It lies on the northwestern flank of the Zambian Copperbelt and has potential for high tonnage, low-grade cobalt-copper-nickel mineralisation referred to as the Nama Project. The area is underlain by strata of the Katanga Supergroup but paucity of outcrop and structural complexity has prevented accurate correlation of the stratigraphy intersected in the boreholes except that distinct mixtite units can be correlated with the lower Kundelungu Group. The mineralisation occurs in a deep weathered profile and is probably caused by the oxidation of primary disseminated cobalt-copper-nickel sulphides combined with supergene redistribution and precipitation, especially in the near surface environment. This has produced both flat lying and inclined resource bodies of mineralisation. Caledonia started operations in the area in 1994 and in the ensuing years acquired five Prospecting Licences and undertook an exploration program commencing with soil sampling supported by airborne geophysical surveys and concluded with a drilling campaign. The drilling amounted to 323 reverse circulation holes totalling 38,119 metres followed by five diamond drill holes totalling 1445m. This drilling is in addition to 25 diamond drill holes drilled by Roan Selection Trust, Zamanglo and JCI in the Nama area and on the flank of the Konkola dome and 23 auger holes drilled by Roan Selection Trust. In 2007, Caledonia embarked on a drilling program in the Nama Retention Licence area and some of this drilling was undertaken over the D Anomaly. This report presents an estimation of indicated and inferred resources based on the results of 38 boreholes drilled into the D anomaly in the northeast to east-central parts of the Retention Licence. This resource of the shallow dipping hematite-magnetite body. is summarised in the table below.Follow-up drilling is required over the D Anomaly to upgrade the known resources and delineate their extensions. Further work is required on the correlation of the stratigraphy in the Nama area to establish the extent that the mixtite units correlated with the lower Kundelungu Group owe their presence in the A Anomaly area to structural disturbance.Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Measured and Indicated Resources. This section uses the terms “measured resources” and  “indicated resources”. We advise U.S. investors that these terms are not recognised by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that mineral resources in these categories will be converted into reserves.Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Measured and Indicated Resources. This section uses the term “inferred resources”. We advise U.S. investors that this term is not recognised by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources.

Most of the drilling activity has focussed on the A or Discovery Anomaly in the central-eastern parts of the Retention Licence area. This work has enabled declaration of an Indicated Resource as per the table below, to a depth of more than 210m below surface. The oxide mineralisation potentially extends below this depth. Other anomalies did not receive as much exploration attention but the data from one target should be re-examined for a resource declaration. Three anomalies require further investigation and the remaining 11 untested targets should be explored.Initial bench and small bulk sample metallurgical testing has indicated that the oxide material can be upgraded into a concentrate by dense medium and magnetic separation and flotation techniques but this work should be repeated on material representative of the in situ grade of the resources. Further work is also required on the mineralogy of the material both in the near surface and deeper mineralisation to determine the mineral phases in which the cobalt, copper and nickel oxides reside. It is important to establish that the mineralogical and hence processing characteristics of the material are maintained into the deeper parts of the mineralisation.BlockTonsGrade (% metal)    CobaltCopperNickel19,139,0000.04460.10280.0133211,366,0000.06130.02880.006734,305,0000.04900.07300.0309418,846,0000.05720.14630.0086Totals43,656,0000.0550.0990.011   151  The complete Report may be viewed on the Company’s website.Summary of Independent Competent Persons ReportOf theNama Retention LicenceInNorthern ZambiaAnd held byCaledonian Mining LimitedEffective Date: 1st May 2007ByDavid GrantPr Sci.

The Report was required to verify Caledonia’s calculations of the Blanket Mine mineral reserves and resources on an annual basis. On the 20th June 2006 Caledonia acquired the Blanket Gold Mine, located near Gwanda in Zimbabwe, from Kinross Gold Corporation of Canada.  Following a 2 year  period of successful operation of the mine, the mine was forced to close for 6 months owing to the fact that the Zimbabwe Government did not pay for the gold sold to the State refiner. Operations commenced again in April 2009 and production has since risen steadily.  Blanket Mine is situated about 15 km west of Gwanda, approximately 130 km to the south of Bulawayo, in south-western Zimbabwe. The mine has been in operation since 1906 and has reportedly produced 1,073,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 4.53 g/t. The Mine comprises a series of deposits along a strike length of about 3 km, from Jethro in the south, through Blanket, Feudal, AR South, AR Main, Sheet, Eroica and Lima ore deposits. The gold enrichment occurs in near-vertical shoots spread out along an approximate north−south axis. The Blanket Mine exploits a fairly typical Archaean greenstone-hosted deposit situated on the northwest limb of the Gwanda Greenstone belt. Most mining activity takes place within AR South, AR Main, Eroica and Lima ore shoots. Two main types of mineralisation are recognised, namely disseminated sulphide replacement (DSR) type mineralisation forming the bulk of the orebodies, and gold-bearing quartz-filled shear zones.Three types of mining methods are used at the Blanket Mine:·  Underhand stoping in the narrow ore bodies ·  Shrinkage stoping where blocky sidewalls are evident ·  Longhole stoping in the wider ore bodies, using 15 m sub-levels. The surrounding country rock at the Blanket Mine, a massive amphibolite, is generally very competent and support such as rock bolts are only installed on rare occasions where fractured rock conditions are encountered. All ore is trammed/tipped to the 22 Level Ore Bins where, after primary crushing, the ore is loaded and hoisted to surface.The completion of the 4 Shaft expansion project in 2010, which included plant upgrades, has increased the production capacity from 500 tpd to 1000 tpd of ore and consolidation at the higher level is in progress.  The higher throughput rate enables the mine to produce 40,000 oz of gold per annum at the current Reserve grade and quantum over a period of at least 10 years.  154  Current mineral reserves and resources are summarised in the table below:Summary of Mineral Reserves and Resources at Blanket Mine at December 31, 2010MINERAL RESERVES (based on a Gold Price of US$ 1100/oz)ClassificationTonnesGrade (Au g/t)Gold Content (oz)Proven Ore      Total Proven Ore including Pillars*1,326,1004.02171,400Probable Ore      Operating and Development Areas2,513,7003.66295,800Total Proven + Probable Ore3,839,8003.78467,200MINERAL RESOURCES (based on a Gold Price of US$ 1100/oz)ClassificationTonnesGrade (Au g/t)Gold Content (oz)        Indicated  510,0003.7962,100        Inferred2,408,2005.01**Tonnages and ounces are rounded to the nearest 100Note *   Pillar tonnages are discounted by 50%Note ** In keeping with the requirements of NI 43-101, Inferred Resources are reported without estimates of metal quantities.

We advise U.S. investors that, while this term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize it. “Inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or prefeasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally minable.Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Indicated Resources.   The above table uses the term “indicated resources”. We advise U.S. investors that these terms are not recognised by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that mineral resources in these categories will be converted into reserves.Major infrastructure consists of underground workings, a process plant, workshops and a tailings dam.The ROM process consists of three-stage crushing, twin rod mills, Knelson Concentrators, and a CIL (carbon-in-leach) circuit. Loaded carbon is eluted and electro-won in a compact PG Elution cell. Cathodes from the cell are acid digested and calcined before smelting together with the gravity gold concentrate from the Knelsons. Approximately 50% of the gold is recovered as free gold. Tailings from the CIL stream is pumped to a tailings dam, with the effluent being recycled to the plant.  155  Two permits for effluent disposal have been issued to the Blanket Mine, covering the sewage effluent and mill tailings disposals. The Mine has implemented a pollution monitoring system around the current tailings dam with the installation of a number of piezometers, which are routinely monitored on an independent basis by Fraser Alexander personnel from its Harare office.In terms of the Mining General Regulations, certain closure obligations are to be fulfilled.   These are covered in a Closure Plan initially prepared by Knight Piesold. Management revised the quantum of the provisions in 2009.The Blanket Mine smelts gold Dore bars twice a month and delivers them to a local refinery which is operated by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. The Dore bars are then sent to Rand Refinery in South Africa for refining and sale.The Report, authorized by Mike Robertson and Bruno Bvirakare, dated June 28, 2011, can be viewed on the Company’s website:  www.caledoniamining.com pursuant to the links “Investors” and “Technical Reports” - and on SEDAR at: www.sedar.com   
 

 

 

 

 

 156   EXHIBIT #14fMokopane, Limpopo Province,South AfricaSummary of Qualified Persons ReportonRooipoort PGEPrepared by RSG Global on behalf of:Caledonia Mining CorporationSummaryMaid O’ The Mist (Pty) Ltd (“MoM”)  is a 100% owned subsidiary of Caledonia Mining Corporation and holds 100% of the Rooipoort Pt/Pd/Au/Ni/Cu project which is situated in the Limpopo Province, South Africa, some 250km north of Johannesburg and 5km south of the town of Mokopane (formerly Potgietersrus).  The Rooipoort Project incorporates two adjacent farms, viz. Rooipoort 46KS (the whole farm) and Grasvally 293KR (Portions 9, 11, 13, 14 and 16) comprising a contiguous area of 3687.1948 hectares.  MoM is the holder of the Prospecting Permit and Prospecting Right, issued by the South African Department of Minerals and Energy, to the Rooipoort Project area. Acquisition of the properties comprising the Rooipoort Project area and the subsequent exploration programme were initiated as the area is underlain by approximately 7km of strike length of the Northern Lobe overlying the floor rocks.  The project area has limited exposure and had been poorly explored in the past, with published extrapolations of the Platreef southwards from Mokopane indicating possible Platreef sub-outcrop along the 7km strike close to the floor rocks. The Rooipoort Project lies in the southern part of the Northern Lobe of the Bushveld Complex, the largest layered intrusion in the world and the world’s most important resource of platinum group metals.  Thirty kilometres along strike to the north of the Rooipoort Project is the Potgietersrus Platinum’s Ltd opencast Pt/Pd/Au/Ni/Cu mine of Anglo Platinum Corporation Ltd located on the Platreef.  The Platreef forms the lowermost unit of the Northern Lobe of the Bushveld Complex in that area which lies on a floor of Transvaal Supergroup rocks and Basement granites.  The Platreef is unique to the Northern Lobe. The type area of the Platreef extends in outcrop from Mokopane for some 35km to the north. It consists of an assemblage of feldspathic pyroxenites and pyroxenites hosting platinum group metals (PGMs), nickel and copper bearing sulphide mineralization. Exploration by MoM was undertaken in a phased manner commencing in mid-2003 with the acquisition of airborne geophysical (aeromagnetic) data followed by a soil geochemical survey and two phases of core drilling, culminating in September 2005 with 3D modelling and resource estimation (RSG Global).  The interpretation of the aeromagnetics coupled with soil geochemical data and geological extrapolation provided the basis for positioning of drillholes for the first phase of the core drilling programme.  The interpretation of this drilling programme of 23 drillholes totalling 7,470m of core and 4,886 assays is that the Platreef is not present however several mineralized zones within a 600m to 800m stratigraphic sequence were identified.   
 157  The second phase of core drilling added 31 drillholes totalling 10,979.17m of core and 7,782 assays and allowed for definition of seven previously unidentified PGM and base metal (Ni & Cu) bearing sulphide mineralized zones, as well as the recognition of a stratigraphic sequence of this area.  A local stratigraphic terminology has been developed which does not correlate directly with the established stratigraphic terminology applied to the Bushveld Complex.  Potential correlation with the standard stratigraphy is presented in the context of previous work on the area of Grasvally and adjacent properties to the south of the project area.  The mineralized zones were essentially numbered upwards from the base of the enclosing unit with broader cut mineralization given the suffix ‘S’.On the project area, a broad, shallow, north plunging synclinal structure is developed, separated by a northerly trending fault zone (the Grasvally Fault) from a westerly dipping unit.  Only mineralized material to the east of the Grasvally fault is considered in this interpretation, although it is clear that additional mineralized material exists to the west of this fault.  This represents upside potential to the resource calculated in this exercise. The deposit is disrupted by several smaller-scale faults and intruded in the north by an easterly trending bifurcating dyke. The EGMC geological interpretations separate the resource into 3 main zones, the C & G block to the south of the dyke, the B block between the bifurcated limbs of the dyke and the A block to the north of the dyke.  Only mineralization in the Lower Units have been modelled in the A block.  RSG Global has treated all 3 blocks together, as they would have originally been continuous.
 

 

 

 

 

 

    158   EXHIBIT #14g Property and Claims InformationTHE DATA PROVIDED BELOW FOR THE THREE PROPERTY AREAS IS CONSIDERED THE MATERIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PROPERTIES AND CLAIMS. THE FULL TEXT OF THIS DATA AND INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE IN THE VARIOUS TECHNICAL REPORTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE COMPANY WEBSITE www.caledoniamining.comBLANKET GOLD MINEa)           Nature of Ownership InterestsBlanket Mine’s claims area is based on 2701 pegged claims.  An application made to the Ministry of Mines to convert the claims area into a mining lease was approved and its issue is awaited.Blanket’s exploration properties are all pegged claims (see Table 14 g(i)) and held 100% by Blanket although some of the claims are subject to royalties.
 b)           Salient Terms of Agreements, Royalties·  1.5 – 2.0% NSR. Blanket owns the claims totally. Based on current mining law in Zimbabwe, Blanket’s Mining Lease is valid in perpetuity.Prospecting claims are renewable on an annual basis (Table 14 g(i)) by payment of a claim fee based on the area of the claim. The claims may also be maintained by carrying out exploration activities on the claims.  Royalties are payable on some of the claims (see Table 14 g(i)). c)           Mineral Rights – Process of AcquisitionMineral rights in Zimbabwe may be acquired by pegging claims or by purchasing claims. In the case of the purchase of an operating mine the mining lease/ claim is transferrable together with the related conditions.  Proposed changes to the Mining Law will require that indigenous persons hold a significant interest in mining companies.  Claims are held indefinitely so long as they are serviced in terms of work done or fees paid.
 d)           The Claim/Right type and ConditionsZimbabwe recognises both precious metal (gold) and base metal claims regardless of the nature of the deposit.  In the event of a gold mine being located on base metal claims, the claims can be converted to precious metal claims. The claims are awarded and monitored by the State.  A mining lease is awarded over existing claims on application by the mining company.

 a)           Nature of Ownership InterestsCaledonia’s 100% subsidiary, Caledonia Nama Ltd owns four contiguous Mining Licences in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia.
 b)           Salient Terms of Agreements, RoyaltiesThe Mining Licences were issued in 2008 and are valid for a period of 25 years and thereafter are renewable for a further period of 25 years.  The retention of the Licences is subject to the development of mining activities on the licences taking into account realistic estimates of economic conditions relating to the development of such mining ventures.  The Licences are subject to no royalties other than that which the State may impose.
 c)           Mineral Rights – Process of AcquisitionMineral rights in Zambia are vested in the State.  The normal process of acquisition is to apply for a Prospecting Licence which is normally issued for a period of three years at which stage at least half the area must be dropped when an application is made to extend the Licence period.  Following a further two year period the prospecting company is required to relinquish a further portion of the property on application for a mining licence.
 d)           The Claim/Right type and ConditionsCaledonia holds a Mining Licence over the Nama area.  The right is secured by the development of mining activities on the licence area, subject to the State and Local Council requirements particularly in terms of environmental and local developments issues.
 e)           Property detailsSee Table 14 g (iii).
 f)           Conditions of retention, Payments etc.See Table 14 g (iii).  A once off payment was made on issue of the Mining Licence. No ongoing or annual fees are payable.  When land is demarcated for mine development, this will result in a purchase consideration to the local council.
