CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Annual Report on Form 20-F ("Annual Report") and the exhibits attached hereto contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities legislation that involve risks and uncertainties relating, but not limited to, Caledonia’s current expectations, intentions, plans, and beliefs.  Forward-looking information can often be identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “goal”, “plan”, “target”, “intend”, “estimate”, “could”, “should”, “may” and “will” or the negative of these terms or similar words suggesting future outcomes, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or performance.  Examples of forward-looking information in this Annual Report include: production guidance, estimates of future/targeted production rates, planned mill capacity increases, estimates of future metallurgical recovery rates and the ability to maintain high metallurgical recover rates, timing of commencement of operations and Caledonia’s plans and timing regarding further exploration, drilling and development, the prospective nature of exploration and development targets, the ability to upgrade and convert mineral resources to mineral reserves, capital costs, our intentions with respect to financial position and third party financing and future dividend payments.   This forward-looking information is based, in part, on assumptions and factors that may change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking information.  Such factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to: failure to establish estimated resources and reserves, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, success of future exploration and drilling programs, reliability of drilling, sampling and assay data, assumptions regarding the representativeness of mineralization being inaccurate, success of planned metallurgical test-work, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, changes in government regulations, legislation and rates of taxation, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects and other factors.

Potential shareholders and prospective investors should be aware that these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements.  Such factors include, but are not limited to: risks relating to estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources proving to be inaccurate, fluctuations in gold price, risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, pressures, power outages, explosions, landslides, cave-ins and flooding), risks relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners and other parties with whom the Company does business; inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards, employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; political risk; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labor; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining or maintaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as mining occurs; global financial condition, the actual results of current exploration activities, changes to conclusions of economic evaluations, and changes in project parameters to deal with un-anticipated economic or other factors, risks of increased capital and operating costs, we are affected by environmental, safety or regulatory risks, expropriation, the Company’s title to properties including ownership thereof, increased competition in the mining industry for properties, equipment, qualified personnel and their costs, risks relating to the uncertainty of timing of events including targeted production rate increase and currency fluctuations.  Shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.  By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and various future events will not occur.  Caledonia reviews forward-looking information for the purposes of preparing each Annual Report, however Caledonia undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or other such factors which affect this information, except as required by law.  For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

STATUS AS AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
 
Recently the United States Congress passed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), which provides for certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to public companies that are reporting companies but not "emerging growth companies." We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in section 3(a) of the Exchange Act (as amended by the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012), and we will continue to qualify as an "emerging growth company" until the earliest to occur of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of US$1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the SEC) or more; (b) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (c) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than US$1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer", as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2. Therefore, we expect to continue to be an emerging growth company for the foreseeable future.
 
 
6

 
 
Generally, a registrant that registers any class of its securities under section 12 of the Exchange Act is required to include in the second and all subsequent annual reports filed by it under the Exchange Act, a management report on internal control over financial reporting and, subject to an exemption available to registrants that are neither an "accelerated filer" or a "larger accelerated filer" (as those terms are defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2), an auditor attestation report on management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting. However, for so long as we continue to qualify as an emerging growth company, we will be exempt from the requirement to include an auditor attestation report on management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting in its annual reports filed under the Exchange Act, even if we were to qualify as an "accelerated filer" or a "larger accelerated filer".
 
CURRENCY
 
All references to dollar amounts are expressed in the lawful currency of Canada, unless otherwise specifically stated.  Per share amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This Annual Report contains financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.  In addition, this Annual Report also contains non-IFRS financial measures (“Non-IFRS Measures”) including “on-mine cash cost per ounce”, “all-in sustaining cost per ounce”, “all-in cost per ounce”, “average realized gold price” and “adjusted earnings per share” as we believe these are useful metrics for measuring our performance. However, these Non-IFRS Measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly traded entities. These measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.
 
FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER FILINGS
 
As a foreign private issuer registered under section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), we are subject to section 13 of the Exchange Act, and we are required to file Annual Reports on Form 20-F and Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K with the SEC.  However, we are exempt from the proxy rules under section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the short-swing profit rules under section 16 of the Exchange Act.


CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

This Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

7

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral 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 pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
7


Accordingly, information contained in this Annual Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
8


All references in this Annual Report to the terms “we”, “our”, “us”, “the Company” and “Caledonia” refer to Caledonia Mining Corporation.

D.  Risk Factors
 
An investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk and should be considered speculative. You should carefully consider the following risks set out below and other information before investing in our common shares.  If any event arising from these risks occurs, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected, the trading price of our common shares could decline and all or part of any investment may be lost.

Our operations are highly speculative due to the high-risk nature of our business, which include the acquisition, financing, exploration, development of mineral properties and operation of mines.  The risks and uncertainties set out below are not the only ones we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our operations.  If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.  As a result, the trading price of our common shares could decline and investors could lose part or all of their investment.  Our business is subject to significant risks and past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

The 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.

Country Risk

The jurisdictions in which the Company operates are unpredictable.  Assets and investments in these foreign jurisdictions are subject to risks that are usually associated with operating in a foreign country and, any of these could result in a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial performance of the Company.  These risks include, but are not limited to, access to assets, laborlabour disputes and unrest; arbitrary revocation of government orders, approvals, licenses and permits; corruption; uncertain political and economic environments; bribery; war; civil disturbances and terrorist actions; sudden and arbitrary changes to laws and regulations; delays in obtaining government permits; limitations on foreign ownership; more onerous foreign exchange controls; currency devaluations; import and export regulations; inadequate, damaged or poorly maintained infrastructure; and endemic illnesses.  There can be no guarantee that governments in these jurisdictions will not unilaterally expropriate the property of companies that are involved in mining or that have a majority foreign ownership or for any other reason.

Significant operations of Caledonia are currently conducted in Zimbabwe and, as such, these operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties in addition to those set out above.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, expropriation and nationalization, or mandatory levels of Zimbabwean ownership beyond currently mandated levels; renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts; illegal mining; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favorfavour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

Exploration and Development
Exploration, development and production activities are subject to political, economic and other risks, including:
-           environmental controls and permitting;
11

Such 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.

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. Effective January 1, 2014, there was a change in the regulations which means that the royalty payable to the Zimbabwe government was no longer allowable as a deduction for the purposes of calculating income tax.  With effect from October 1, 2014 the royalty rate was reduced to 5%.  Changes to Zimbabwean legislation in January 2014 required all Zimbabwean gold producers to sell their production to Fidelity Printers and Refiners Limited (“Fidelity”) for a sale value which represents 98.5% of the value of the gold contained.  Prior to this change, Blanket sold its gold to a non-Zimbabwean refiner and received 100% of the value of the gold contained.  Effective February 2015 the realised gold price in 2014 represents 98.5% of the value of the gold that is received by Blanket in terms of its sale agreement to Fidelity. With effect from February 3, 2015, Blanket receives 98.75% of the value of the gold it delivers to Fidelity.

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:
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% during 2014 and we make the observation that at low cobalt prices, the royalty can give rise to a very significant tax burden on the project.

12

Subsequent to the evaluation of the latest drilling results at Nama in 2013, the Board has decided to impair the full carrying value of the Nama development assets and no further exploration funds will be allocated to the projects.

As a result of the foregoing, Caledonia’s exploration, development and production activities in 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.
12


The Company needs to identify new resources to replace ore which has been depleted by mining activities and to commence new projects.  No assurance can be given that exploration conducted by the Company will be successful in identifying sufficient mineral resources of an adequate grade and suitable metallurgical characteristics suitable for further development or production.

Other than the Blanket Mine, the Company’s properties are in the exploration stage and are without any known bodies of commercial ore.  Further development of the properties will only proceed upon obtaining satisfactory exploration results. There is no assurance that the Company’s mineral exploration activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of mineral reserves.  The long-term profitability of the Company’s operations will, in part, be directly related to the costs and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.


Government Approvals, Permits and Licenses

Government approvals, permits and licenses are required in connection with a number of the Company’s activities and additional approvals, permits and licenses may be required in the future.  The duration and success of the Company’s efforts to obtain approvals, permits and licenses are contingent upon many variables outside of the Company’s control.  Obtaining governmental approvals, permits and licenses can increase costs and cause delays depending on the nature of the activity and the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the relevant authority.  While the Company or its affiliates currently hold the necessary licenses to conduct its operations there can be no assurance that all necessary approvals, permits and licenses will be maintained or obtained or that the costs involved will not exceed the Company’s estimates or that the Company will be able to maintain such permits or licenses.  To the extent such approvals, permits and licenses are not obtained or maintained, the Company may be prohibited from proceeding with planned drilling, exploration, development or operation of properties which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial performance.

History of Losses; Accumulated Deficit; No Assurance of Revenue or Operating Profit

Since inception in February 1992, Caledonia has recorded a loss in every year except 1994, 2000, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2012.2014.  As at December 31, 2013,2014, the consolidated accumulated deficit was $161,651,000.$159,459,000.  Failure to achieve and maintain profitability may adversely affect the market price of our common shares. There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability in the future or at all.

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.

Development Risk

The Company is engaged in further development activities at Blanket Mine.Mine and its surrounding properties.  Construction and development of projects are subject to numerous risks including, but not limited to: obtaining equipment, permits and services; changes in regulations; currency rate changes; labor shortages; fluctuations in metal prices; and the loss of community support.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal(s) from ore and to develop the mining, processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.  Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities or grades, or the estimated operating costs of the mining venture are sufficient, to justify development of the deposit, or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely and economically acceptable basis.

The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Company’s control and which cannot be predicted, such as metal price and market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection.  Depending on the price of minerals produced, the Company may determine that it is not commercially feasible to commence or continue commercial production.
 
 
13

 

 
Production Estimates

Estimates for future production, including those at Blanket Mine, are based on mining plans and are subject to change.  Production estimates are subject to risk and no assurance can be given that future production estimates will be achieved.  Actual production may vary from estimated production for a variety of reasons including un-anticipated variations in grades, mined tonnages and geological conditions, accident and equipment breakdown, changes in metal prices and the cost and supply of inputs and changes to government regulations.

Fluctuating Minerals Prices and Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

As 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.

The Company’s revenues, operations and exploration and development projects are, and are expected to be, heavily derived from and influenced by the price of gold, which is particularly subject to fluctuation and has fluctuated significantly in recent years.  The price of gold is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including, but not limited to: international economic and political conditions; expectations of inflation; international currency exchange rates; interest rates; global or regional consumption patterns; speculative activities; levels of supply and demand; increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods; availability and costs of metal substitutes and; inventory carrying costs.  The effect of these factors on the price of gold, and therefore the economic viability of the Company’s operations cannot be accurately predicted.  Caledonia has not adopted any strategies to control the effect of mineral price fluctuations because the Company’s cash resources currently exceed its planned and foreseeable commitments.

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.

The operating results and financial position of Caledonia are reported in Canadian dollars in the Annual Financial Statements.consolidated financial statements. The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar in relation to other currencies will consequently have an impact upon the profitability of Caledonia and may also affect the carrying amount of Caledonia’s assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity. Caledonia does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its foreign currency risks.

In 2009, the government of Zimbabwe made foreign currencies legal tender in Zimbabwe and abolished the Zimbabwe dollar. However, there is no guarantee that the Zimbabwe government will not reintroduce the local currency.

Credit Risk Exposure

Credit risk is the risk that a party with a contractual obligation to Caledonia will default causing a loss to Caledonia.  New regulations introduced by the Zimbabwean Ministry of Finance in January 2014 require that all gold produced in Zimbabwe must now be sold to Fidelity, a company which is controlled by the Zimbabwean authorities.  Accordingly, all of Blanket’s production is sold to Fidelity.  To date, Blanket has received all payments due from Fidelity in full and on time.  This arrangement introduces a new credit risk, beyond the control of Caledonia or Blanket, that receivables and contractual performance due from Fidelity will not be paid or performed in a timely manner, or at all.

In 2009, gold bonds were issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe to Blanket Limited as a result of non-payment for gold previously sold by Blanket Mine to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe since 2008.  The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has failed to redeem the gold bonds and also failed to give any reliable verification of when Blanket Mine would be paid.  As a result of this failure, Caledonia was required to write off the gold bonds to $nil value.

Further, if Fidelity or the Zimbabwean government were unable or unwilling to conduct business with the Company, or satisfy obligations to the Company, the Company could experience a material adverse effect upon its operations and financial performance.

Black Empowerment and Indigenization
 
 
14

 
Indigenization
The governmentsgovernment of the Southern African countries in which the Company operates, currently Zimbabwe have, or are proposing,has introduced legislation (typically referred to as “black economic empowerment” or indigenisation”)indigenisation) requiring companies to allowfacilitate participation in their shareholdings and business enterprises by the indigenous population.  In not all instances is it assured that such interests will have to be paid for at full fair value, which may result in increased political and economic risks of operating in that area. As reported the Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe has complied with the requirements of the Indigenisation Act in Zimbabwe whereby new indigenous shareholders in Blanket acquiredlegally own 51% ownership of Blanket Mine (1983) (Pvt) Ltd in 2012.

Government Regulation

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and requirements in the countries in which Caledonia operates may result in enforcement action, including orders calling for the curtailment or termination of operations on its property, or calling for corrective or remedial measures requiring considerable capital investment.  Although the Company believes that its activities are currently carried out in all material respects in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner that could limit or curtail production or development of the Company’s properties or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial performance.


Need for Additional Funds

The Company expects that for at least 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2016,2017, 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. However there can be no guarantees and the situation will be consistently monitored.

Dependence upon Key Personnel

Caledonia’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.   The loss of the services of any of these persons could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects results of operations and financial performance. The limited availability of mining and other technical skills and experience in Zimbabwe and the difficulty of attracting appropriately skilled employees to Zimbabwe creates a risk that appropriate skills may not be available if, for whatever reason, the current skills base at the Blanket Mine is depleted. 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.functions. Mr. S.E. Hayden resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer on November 18, 2014 and resigned as a Director on 6 December, 2014. Mr. S.R. Curtis was appointed as a suitable candidate with the necessary experience and skills to act in his new role as President and Chief Executive Officer to replace Mr. S.E Hayden.

Possible Volatility of Share Price

Market 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’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, 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.

Mineral Title

The Company is not aware of any significant competing ownership claims or encumbrances respecting title to its properties.  There can be no guarantee, however, that there are no competing ownership claims or encumbrances respecting its properties or that challenges to title will not be made in the future.

15

Increasing input costs

Mining companies generally have experienced higher costs of steel, reagents, labor and electricity and from local and national government for levies, fees, royalties and other direct and indirect taxes.  Blanket’s planned growth should allow the fixed cost component to be absorbed over increased production, thereby helping to alleviate somewhat the effect of any further price increases.
15


Infrastructure and Related Risks

Infrastructure, including electricity supplies, that may be currently available and used by Caledonia may, as result of natural disaster, incorrect or inadequate maintenance, sabotage or for other reasons, be destroyed or made unavailable or available in a reduced capacity.  Were this to occur, operations at the Company’s properties may become more costly or have to be curtailed or even terminated, potentially having serious adverse consequences to the Company’s financial condition and viability that could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial performance.

Operational Hazards and Risks

The Company is subject to risks typical in the mining business.  These include, but are not limited to, operational issues such as unexpected geological conditions or earthquakes causing unanticipated increases in the costs of extraction or leading to falls of ground and rock bursts, particularly as mining moves into deeper levels.  Major cave-ins, flooding or fires could also occur under extreme conditions.  Although equipment is monitored and maintained and all staff receives safety training, accidents caused by equipment failure or human error could occur.  Such occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.  As a result, the Company may incur significant liabilities and costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its business, results of operations and financial performance.

Legal Risks

Caledonia may become party to legal claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  There can be no assurance that unforeseen circumstances resulting in legal claims will not result in significant costs or losses.  In the event of a dispute arising in respect of Caledonia’s foreign operations, Caledonia may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada or international arbitration.  The legal and political environments in which the Company operates may make it more likely that laws will not be enforced and that judgments will not be upheld.  If Caledonia is unsuccessful in enforcing its rights under the agreements to which it is a party or judgments that have been granted, or if laws are not appropriately enforced, it could have a material adverse effect on Caledonia’s business, results of operations and financial performance.

Illegal mining

There has been an increase in illegal mining activities on properties controlled by Blanket.  This gives rise to increased security costs and an increased risk of theft and damage to equipment.  Blanket has received adequate support and assistance from the Zimbabwean police in investigating such cases.

Labor Relations

Most of the employees are members of the Associated Mine Workers Union of Zimbabwe.  Pay rates for all wage-earning staff are negotiated on a Zimbabwe industry wideindustry-wide basis between the union and representatives of the mine owners.  Any industrial action called by the Union may affect the Company’s operations even though the Company’s operations may not be at the root cause of the action.
Strikes, lockouts or other work stoppages could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial performance.  In addition, any work stoppage or labor disruption at key customers or service providers could impede the Company’s ability to supply products, to receive critical equipment and supplies for its operations or to collect payment from customers encountering labor disruptions.  Work stoppages or other labor disruptions could increase the Company’s costs or impede its ability to operate one or more of its operations.

16

Environmental, Health and Safety Factors

The Company’s exploration, development and operations are subject to environment, health and safety laws and regulations (“EH&S”) in the countries in which the relevant activity is being conducted.  There is no assurance that future changes in EH&S, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s exploration and development programs or its operations.  There is no assurance that regulatory and environmental approvals required under EH&S will be obtained on a timely basis or at all.
 
16

A breach of EH&S may result in the temporary suspension of operations, the imposition of fines, other penalties (including administrative penalties and regulatory prosecution), and government orders, which could potentially have a material adverse effect on operations.

Future Acquisitions

Caledonia continually seeks to replace and expand its reserves through the exploration of its existing properties and may expand through acquisitions of interests in new properties or of interests in companies which own such properties.  Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including: the possibility that the Company, as a successor owner, may be legally and financially responsible for liabilities of prior owners; the possibility that the Company may pay more than the acquired company or assets are worth; the additional expenses associated with completing an acquisition and amortizing any acquired intangible assets; the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of an acquired business; the challenge of implementing uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies throughout an acquired business; the inability to integrate, train, retain and motivate key personnel of an acquired business; and the potential disruption of the Company’s ongoing business and the distraction of management from its day-to-day operations.  These risks and difficulties, if they materialize, could disrupt the Company’s ongoing business, distract management, result in the loss of key personnel, increase expenses and otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial performance.


ITEM 4 - INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
 
A.  
History and Development of the Company
 
Caledonia was incorporated, effective February 5, 1992, by the amalgamation of three predecessor companies.  It exists pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations ActAct.

Following 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.

Background

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. -Limited with the remaining 3.6% being acquired in mid 2004.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.Proprietary Limited.

Effective April 1, 2006 the Company purchased 100% of the issued shares of the Zimbabwean company, Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Ltd., which held the shares of “BlanketBlanket 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.

Description of Our Business

Caledonia’s activities are focused in Southern Africa.  The Company’s business during the past three completed fiscal years has been focused primarily on: (i) the operation of the Blanket Mine; (ii) increasing gold production at Blanket Mine; and (iii) achieving the indigenisation of the Blanket Mine as described below.

The Company has, during the past three completed fiscal years, conducted exploration activities in Zimbabwe and Zambia.  The Company’s main exploration efforts have been focused on: (i) gold exploration in the vicinity of the Blanket Mine in Zimbabwe; and (ii) Nama Project in Zambia.

Generally, gold mining, development and exploration in Southern Africa is not seasonal, except where heavy seasonal rainfall can affect surface mining or exploration.  Production operations at Blanket Mine are not seasonal, however, exploration activities at the Nama Project are.

Total gold production at Blanket Mine in: (i) 2014, was 41,771 ounces (ii) 2013, was 45,52745,530 ounces; (ii)(iii) 2012, was 45,464 ounces; and (iii) 2011, was 35,826 ounces.  The aggregate production at Blanket Mine forfrom January through March of 2014,1, 2015 to February 28, 2015 was 10,2416,796 ounces.

Indigenization of Blanket Mine (1983) (Private) Limited

In 2008, the Zimbabwean parliament passed the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act 2007, which stipulated that indigenous Zimbabwean citizens must hold at least 51% of all Zimbabwean companies.

On February 20, 2012, Caledonia announced it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Minister of Youth, Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment of the Government of Zimbabwe, pursuant to which Caledonia agreed that indigenous Zimbabweans would acquire an effective 51% ownership interest in Blanket Mine (Pvt)(1983) (Private) Limited at a transactional value of US$30.09 million.  Accordingly, Caledonia entered into agreements with each of the following indigenous shareholders to allow them to subscribe for an aggregate 51% ownership interest in Blanket Mine (1983) (Private) Limited as follows:

 ·a 16% interest was sold to the National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Fund for US$11.74 million;
 
 ·a 15% interest was sold to Fremiro Investments (Private) Limited (“Fremiro”), which is owned by indigenous Zimbabweans, for US$11.01 million;
 
 ·a 10% interest was sold to Blanket Employee Trust Services (Private) Limited (“BETS”) for the benefit of present and future managers and employees of Blanket Mine for US$7.34 million. The shares in BETS are held by the Blanket Mine Employee Trust (“Employee Trust”) with Blanket’s employees holding participation units in the Employee Trust; and
 
 ·a 10% interest was donated to the Gwanda Community Share Ownership Trust (“Community Trust”). Blanket paid a non-refundable donation of US$1 million to the Community Trust.

Effective November 14, 2012, four Zimbabweans were appointed to the Board of Directors of Blanket Limited, each representing one of the four entities to whom the 51% of the shares of Blanket were issued.  The other four directors of Blanket Limited are appointed by Caledonia.

Although a 51% shareholding in Blanket Mine was acquired by the Indigenisation Shareholders. The directors of Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (“CHZ”) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, performed an assessment, using the requirements of IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), to determine whether Blanket Mine should continue to be consolidated by CHZ. Following the IFRS 10 assessment, it was concluded that CHZ retained control and should continue to consolidate Blanket Mine.

18

Subsequent Events

The Company’s authorized capital consists of (i) an unlimited number of Common Shares of which 52,117,908,There were issued as of March 28,no material or significant events from December 31, 2014 and an unlimited number of preference shares, of which none have been issued. The holdersto the date of the Common Shares are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of Shareholders and to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the directors of the Company. In the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, after payment of all outstanding debts, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution would be distributed to the holders of the Common Shares.

In January 2014, new regulations were introduced by the Zimbabwean Ministry of Finance requiring that all gold produced in Zimbabwe be sold to Fidelity Printers and Refiners Limited (“Fidelity”), a company which is controlled by the Zimbabwean authorities.  Accordingly, all of Blanket’s production is sold to Fidelity.  To date, Blanket has received all payments due from Fidelity in full and on time.

B.  Business Overview
Mining and Exploration Activities:

Gold Production

Blanket Mine (1983) Private Limited (“Blanket”)

Blanket currently sells its gold production to Fidelity Printers and Refiners in Harare Zimbabwe and only receivesin 2014 received 98.5% of the sale proceedsvalue of the gold contained in US dollars within 7 days of sale in full settlement.  This sales arrangement came into effect in January 2014, prior to this gold was sold to Metalor in Switzerland.  As from February 3, 2015, Blanket will receive 98.75% of the value of the gold sold to Fidelity Printers and Refiners:  all other terms of sale remain unchanged.

In terms of currentthe regulations, from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014 Blanket Mine payspaid a 7% royalty on gold sales revenue to the Zimbabwe Government on a monthly basis.  With effect from October 1, 2014, the royalty rate was reduced to 5%.  Blanket Mine also pays an annual fee to protect the various claims amounting to approximately $120,000 pa. All fees and royalties are paid up to date.

Background

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 southeast 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.
 
Geological Setting
 
Like 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, from a gold resource area that has given rise to no less than 268 gold mines.
19


Property Geology
 
Blanket is part of the group of mines that makes up the North Western Mining camp also called the Sabiwa group of mines. Blanket’s deposits 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 be mineralized.  It is generally on this lithology type that the various mine tailings disposal sites have been located.  Above this basal felsic unit is the ultramafic unit that includes the banded iron formations hosting the eastern ‘dormant’ cluster of mines and the mineralized bodies of the adjacent Vubachikwe Mine complex.   The active Blanket bodies (sections) are found on the overlying unit, the mafics and an 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 syn-metamorphic regionally developed deformation zone characterized by areas of high strain, wrapping around relatively un-deformed remnants of the original basaltic lava flows.  It is within the higher strain regime (highly sheared rocks) that the majority of the ore bodies are located.

As a result ofFollowing the completion of the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project in late 2010, the underground mining areas can now produce up to 1,200 tons of ore daily using predominately long-hole open stoping methods. Blanket Mine now produces approximately 42,000 ounces of gold per year.  In November 2014 Blanket embarked on a Revised Investment Plan (“Revised Plan”) the objectives of which are to improve the underground infrastructure and logistics and allow an efficient and sustainable production build-up.  In addition to the completion of the existing No. 6 Winze project, the infrastructure improvements will include the development of a “Tramming Loop” and the sinking of a new 6-meter diameter Central Shaft from surface to 1,080 meters.  The increased investment pursuant to the Revised Plan is expected to give rise to production from inferred resources of approximately 70-75,000 ounces in excess2021, this being in addition to projected production in 2021 from proven and probable mineral reserves of 45,000 ounces per yearapproximately 6,000 ounces.  The Revised Plan is also expected to improve Blanket’s long term operational efficiency, flexibility and sustainability.
A preliminary economic assessment (the “PEA”) has been prepared in respect of the inferred resources which is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be classified as mineral reserves.  There is no certainty that the PEA will be realised. The PEA was published on December 2, 2015 and is implementing a four year expansion program to progressively increase gold production byavailable on the end of 2016.System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com and Caledonia’s website (www.caledoniamining.com).

Metallurgical Process
 
In terms of Blanket’s 4 year Expansion ProgramRevised Plan the crushing and milling circuits will be expanded to handle 3,000 tons of ore per day capacity by additions and improvements to them. Their throughput capacity is more than sufficient to handle the planned increases in mine production from the No. 6 Winze Expansion Project and will in future be able to process any mineralised material that may be found at the Satellite Properties (as defined below).Central Shaft.

All run of mine ore is crushed  underground to minus 150mm, hoisted to surface and crushed to minus 12mm in the surface 2-stage crushing circuit.  This material is then currently 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 Gold Concentrators where approximately 49% of total mill gold production is recovered as ‘gravity’ concentrate.  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.  During 2014 the Pressure Swing Absorption (“PSA”) plant which produces oxygen was re-commissioned and produces oxygen at approximately half of the cost of purchased liquid oxygen.  Oxygen from the PSA plant is now sparged in the CIL system, which has improved recovery and also reduced cyanide consumption.  Elution of the gold from the loaded carbon and subsequent electro-winning are done on site.  During electro winning the gold is deposited on steel wool cathodes, the loaded cathodes are acid-digested and the resultant gold solids from this acid digestion together with the re-dressed gold concentrate from Knelson Concentrators are smelted into Dore bars. The granular activated carbon is kiln regenerated before it is re-circulated back to the CIL section. The CIL plant has an overall design capacity of 3,800 tons of milled ore per day.
The Dore bars are delivered and sold, as required by Zimbabwean law, to Zimbabwe Government-operated Fidelity. After refining Fidelity exportIn 2014, Blanket received 98.5% of the gold to Rand Refineries in South Africa.  Rand Refineries undertakes final refining and buys the resultant gold from Fidelity. Blanket gets paid for 98.5% value of the gold sold to Fidelity within a weekFidelity.  With effect from February 3, 2015, Blanket receives 98.75% of deliverythe value of the gold delivered and sold to Fidelity.  Blanket gets paid in US dollars into its Zimbabwean bank account.

Note **  Prior to the preparation of the Minxcon Technical Report, Blanket Mine reported resources exclusive of reserves. However, as the mine matured an increasing proportion of the “reserve” accumulated in pillars which are unlikely to be mined in the immediate future. In order to distinguish between the currently available reserves and pillar blocks which are not immediately available, Blanket Mine’s Technical Department has elected to report mineral resources inclusive of mineral reserves. Accordingly, these pillar tonnages are now reported under the Measured Resource category until they are scheduled in the mine plan.


Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Inferred and Indicated Resources.

The above table usestables use 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 ResourcesResource 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.

Since the calculation of the above DecemberAugust 31, 20102014 figures, the Company has mined 1,054,400131,500 tons with an average recovered gold grade of 3.993.16 grams per tonne, someton, the majority of which has been from within the reserve and resource blocks to produce 126,71813,349 ounces of gold at a recovery of 93.3%93.2%.  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 internal estimate of Blanket’s mineral reserves and resources as at December 31, 20132014 has been prepared by Blanket Mines’ Technical Department following the standards and procedures required by NI 43-101. In preparing the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates, the following assumptions and modifying factors were applied. A cut-off grade (pay limit) of 2.092.03 g/t based on a gold price of US$1300/1,250/oz, was applied. Production tonnagesTonnages were increased by 8%7.5% to allow for dilution at zero grade and the grade adjusted accordingly. A metallurgical recovery of 93% was applied, marginally less than the 3 year historical 93.3% recovered grade.  The Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource calculations estimates included in this report have been reviewed and approved by Dr Pearton, Caledonia’s Qualified Person and the results are presented in the following table:tables:

While Blanket Mine has generally recorded greater than 100% conversion of resources to reserves (past 10 years), this positivehigh rate of conversion factor cannot be assumed to occur in future. Blanket Mine is situated in a country which is widely considered to be politically unstable, and this may impact on the reserve life of the mine which at present is estimated at between 67 and 7 years.8 years based on the current mine plan. However, Blanket Mine is fully indigenisedindigenized and compliant with all legislation within Zimbabwe and as such is expected to be able to operate within normal business parameters for the foreseeable future.

MARKETING
 
From 2009 until December 20132014, Blanket was entitled to export and sell its entire gold production in its own name.   However since January 2014 Blanket is required to deliver and sell it’sits entire gold production to Fidelity Printers and Refiners which is an organization controlled by the Zimbabwe authorities. To date, Blanket has received all payments due from Fidelity in full and on time.

KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
 
As a result of theFollowing completion of the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project in late 2010, the underground mining areas can now produce up to 1,200 tons of ore daily using predominately long-hole open stoping methods. Blanket Mine now producesThe Revised Plan provides for proposed investment of approximately US$50 million between 2015 and 2017 and a further US$20 million in excessthe period 2018 to 2020.  The increased investment pursuant to the Revised Plan is expected to give rise to an increasing production profile that is expected to result in additional production from resources currently in the inferred category of 45,000approximately 70-75,000 ounces per yearin 2021, this being in addition to projected production in 2021 from current mineral reserves of approximately 6,000 ounces.  The Revised Plan is also expected to improve Blanket’s long term operational efficiency, flexibility and sustainability.
A PEA has been prepared in respect of the inferred resources which is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be classified as mineral reserves.  There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.  The PEA was published on December 2 2015 and is implementing a four year Expansion Program to progressively increase gold production to 48,000 ounces in 2014, 52,000 ounces in 2015available on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and beyond by the end of 2016.

(i)  Blanket pays a royalty to the Zimbabwean government on gross revenue.  Since 1 January 2012 the royalty rate has been 7% prior to which it was 4%
(ii) Non-IFRS measures such as “On-Mine Cash Cost per Ounce”, “All-in Sustaining Cost per Ounce” and “All-in Cost per Ounce” are used throughout this document.  Refer to Section 10 of the MD&A of 2013 for a discussion of non-IFRS measures.
 

Per-ounce costs are calculated on the basis of sales and not production, so that an accurate value can be ascribed to the royalty. The on-mine cash cost per ounceounces of gold sold increased in the Q42014 were 4.7% and 5.0% lower than in 2013 due to the lower production compared to the previous quarter and to the lower sales compared to the previous quarter as a result of work-in- progress as at December 31, 2013.  Over2012 respectively.  Approximately 60% of Blanket’s costs are fixed, therefore lower production means that fixedand sales results in a higher cost per ounce for 2014 when compared to 2013 and 2012.  The average grade of ore milled in 2014 was 3.55g/t compared to 3.88 g/t in 2013 and 4.16 g/t in 2012 as discussed further below.  Unit mining and processing costs are absorbed over fewer production ounces.  The value attributeddetermined by the tonnage of material processed, irrespective of the gold contained.  Thus the lower grades tend to work-in-progress only includes direct labor at the mine, electricity and consumables;  on-mine administration costs are therefore absorbed into the ounces of gold sold in the quarter, further increasingincrease the cost per ounce of gold sold.  In light of the increased production costproduced.  The On-Mine Cost per ounce in the Quarter managementand the Year remained within the anticipated range, given the actual level of sales and the actual grade of the material processed. Certain changes to the mining method at the AR Main body have tended to increase On-Mine Costs in Quarter 4.  The incidence of working capital at the end of Q4 in each year has focusedthe effect of increasing the Q4 cost per ounce.
The royalty is payable to the Zimbabwean government.  The reduction in the royalty cost per ounce in Q4 of 2014 reflects the reduction in the royalty rate from 7% to 5% with effect from October 1, 2014.  The lower royalty per ounce in 2014 compared to previous years reflects the lower gold price.  Third party smelting and refining costs have reduced significantly since Blanket commenced sales of gold to Fidelity Printers and Refiners in Zimbabwe.  From January 1, 2014, such charges have been absorbed into revenues and are therefore shown as a reduction in the realised price of gold.
Corporate general and administrative costs increased in the quarter due to higher legal and consulting fees, a significant proportion of which were incurred in respect of events and activities which are not expected to recur.  Management has taken measures which are expected to progressively reduce the dollar-cost of general and administrative costs over the course of 2015.  Thereafter, the general and administrative cost per ounce is expected to decrease further as production increases from 2016 onwards in terms of the revised life of mine plan.
Sustaining capital expenditure varies from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of the purchase of specific higher value items of equipment. Over the course of 2014, sustaining capital investment was close to the target of approximately $50 per ounce.
Expansion capital investment includes investment in respect of Blanket’s capital projects. In terms of Blanket’s Revised Plan, which was announced on November 3, 2014, capital investment is expected to increase significantly in 2015, 2016 and 2017 before the resultant increases in production materialise.  Thus the expansion capital investment cost per ounce of gold sold is expected to increase substantially in future years.
Cost per ounce
Non-IFRS performance measures such as “On-Mine Cost per ounce”, “All-in Sustaining Cost per ounce” and “All-in Cost per ounce” are used in this document.  Management believes these measures assist investors and other stakeholders in understanding the economics of gold mining over the life-cycle of a mine.  These measures are calculated on the basis set out by the World Gold Council in a Guidance Note published on June 23, 2013 and accordingly differ from the previous basis of calculation.  The table below reconciles “On-mine Cost per ounce”, “All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce” and “All-in Cost per ounce” to reduce operating costs.the production costs shown in the financial statements which have been prepared under IFRS.

Capital investment to sustain current operations and capital expenditure not related to current production is discussed in Sections 4.7, 5.3 and 6 of the MD&A for 2013.
All-in sustaining costs increased in the Quarter compared to the previous quarter due to the effect of higher administrative expenses and sustaining capital investment in the Quarter which were allocated across the 9,545 ounces that were sold in the Quarter rather than the 11,429 ounces of gold that were produced in the Quarter.

Underground
Low grades continue to be the most important production area during Q4 2013 with ore being trammed on the 630 and 750 meter haulages.  Production tonnages from all areas was at planned levels in the Quarter.  However, the achieved ore grade in the Quarter and in Q1 2014 was lower than planned due to a sub-horizontal fault which was encountered at the AR South ore body between 680 and 695 meters below surface.  This sub-horizontal fault had displaced the ore zone to the west and south and resulted in a barren block of ground, which unavoidably had to be mined, resulting in dilution the otherwise high grade material.  This dilution meant that the grade on certain stoping panels at AR Main was un-economic.  Production on these panels was stoppeddue to internal waste and re-development was requiredthis situation is expected to establish other panels at the required grade.  Management believes that the above measures have been successful and that ancontinue for several quarters.  The average head grade of between 3.60 to 3.83 g/t Au can be maintained, although closer attention will be paid to grade control in future.   Production in February 2014 was also adversely affected by an unstable mains power supply andachieved over the unscheduled requirement to replace the winding rope on No. 4 Shaft.  In the weeks while the new ropes were in transit from Europe, hoisting was restricted to half speed.  Hoisting was suspended completely for three days in early March 2014 whilst the new Lebus type coiling sleeves were fitted to the winder drums and the new winding ropes were successfully installed and commissioned.
Underground development activities continued throughout the Quarter and the total development advance was 1,427 meters compared to a planned advance of 1,377 meters.  The development advanceentire mining operations in the Quarter was 29% higher than3.47 g/t, which compares to target grade of 3.83 g/t.  To minimise dilution at AR Main and improve grade control, the 1,110 metersmining method at AR Main has been changed from long-hole stoping to short-hole sub-level benching and this contributed to a slight improvement in the average achieved head grade from 3.34 g/t, which was achieved in the preceding quarter due to a reduction in lost shifts and better machine availability.  Machine availabilityprevious quarter.
Production early in the previous quarter had beenQuarter was adversely affected by the closureintroduction of capital equipment onto 22-Level to commence work on the Tramming Loop.  Tonnes hoisted in the quarter were approximately 4% lower than target.  By the end of the quarter, the situation had improved following the introduction of an additional locomotive on 22-Level.
To address the lower grades and reduced mining rate at AR Main, new production areas have been opened up at Lima and Eroica.  The new production areas are further away from the No. 4 Shaft, which is the main rock-hoisting shaft, and this has put further pressure on the single-track underground haulage system. This constraint is being addressed by the development of the Tramming Loop, which is part of the Revised Plan, and will, when complete in mid-2015, significantly improve the ability to haul mineralised material and waste.
On November 3, 2014 Caledonia announced the Revised Plan for Blanket Mine.  The objectives of the Revised Plan are to improve the underground infrastructure and logistics and allow an efficient and sustainable production build-up.  The infrastructure improvements include the development of a supplier“Tramming Loop” parallel to the existing 22 Level haulage, which allows one-way travel and facilitates tramming efficiency.
Blanket’s installed compressor capacity during 2014 was only just sufficient to provide the required amount of spare parts for drilling equipment.  As a result an increased numbercompressed air.  Any breakdowns of drilling machines were inoperative for longer than usual awaiting suitable replacement parts.  Alternative suppliers with satisfactory levels of service andthis equipment quality have been identified and are now being used resultingmeant there was insufficient compressed air to carry out production as well as development work: in the improved machine availabilitythese circumstances development work was suspended in the Quarter.order to maintain production.  Installation of the new Centac compressor has beenremained stalled bydue to the continued inability of the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Corporation, (“ZETDC”), the state-owned electricity distribution company, to service their faulty transformer and equipment.  Blanket has repeatedly offered to undertake this servicetherefore purchased its own transformer which was commissioned in January 2015 and maintenance itself, but ZETDC is unwilling to accept this offer.has significantly improved the supply of compressed air with the Centac now operational.

·the No. 6 Winze Project - Shaft Deepening from 750 to the 930 meter level; and
 ·the haulage extension on 22 Level from AR Main to Lima;
 ·the northern extension to 18 Level haulage to Lima;Central Shaft
Further information on these Projects is set out below.
Tramming Loop
The Tramming Loop is being developed on 22 Level to improve underground logistics by increasing the amount of mineralized material and waste that can be transported to the No. 4 Shaft.  Work on the Tramming Loop commenced at the end of October 2014.  Of the 800 meters required to complete the loop, 16 meters had been completed at November 7, 2014.  As at the end of February 2015, 450 meters had been completed and this project is on schedule for completion as planned.

·the erection of a new mill house in anticipation of the installation of new mills to increase milling capacity which will be required to process additional material from the No. 6 Winze Project.
 
Further information on each of these Projects is set out below; an analysis of the expenditure on of the main investment projects is set out in Section 6 of the MD&A for 2013.
22 Level Haulage Extension Project
The 22 Level haulage extension project will link the Blanket and Lima ore bodies on the 22 Level (750 meters below surface) and will allow for the rapid commencement of mining in any new mining areas defined above 750 meters.  Crosscuts from the 22 Level Haulage are also being developed to provide the required drilling platforms for the exploration drilling below 750 meters for resource evaluation purposes.  Work on the 22 Level Haulage extension project and its associated crosscuts is being carried out simultaneously with normal mining production.

During the Quarter, the 22 Level haulage advanced a further 158 meters towards Lima (182 meters in the preceding quarter) against a plan of 162 meters.  This haulage reached the Eroica ore body in early December 2013 and further work on advancing the face was suspended in order to allow for exploration drilling into the Eroica zone.  Five holes were drilled and all identified mineralization, although the grades were rather lower than anticipated.

The crosscut from the 750 meter haulage towards the AR Main zone advanced 71 meters against a plan of 105 meters.  Work on the intermediate drilling chamber was completed and diamond drilling commenced.  One hole was drilled which intersected the AR Main mineralization as expected and a second hole has been commenced.   Development to extend the crosscut to the AR Main zone has re-commenced.

18 Level Haulage Extension Project
The 18 Level haulage extension (630 meters below surface) was planned to provide access to explore for the extension of the Sheet zone between 630 meters and 510 meters below surface.  The haulage reached its destination in the second quarter of 2013 and diamond drilling to locate a possible down-dip extension to the Sheet ore body has commenced.

Some exploration drilling below 750 meters is also being carried out from 18 Level, in addition to the planned exploration from 22 Level.  During the Quarter two further exploration holes were drilled into the Blanket zone below 750 meters in addition to the six exploration drill holes which were completed in previous quarters.  As expected, all of the eight holes into the Blanket ore body below 750 meters have intersected mineralised zones.
14 Level Haulage Project
The 14 Level Haulage between Eroica and Lima (510 meters below surface) reached the position of the Lima ore body in the second quarter of 2013.  Exploration and development work has commenced on the Lima ore body above 14 Level with the objective of upgrading the current indicated and inferred mineral resources to mineral reserves.  The ability to upgrade the mineral resources in this area to mineral reserves is an important part of Blanket Mine’s strategy to increase mining production in future years.  Note that Blanket Mine reports mineral resources exclusive of mineral reserves and that mineral resources have no demonstrated economic viability.  It is anticipated that production activities at Lima above the 510 meter level will commence in the second quarter of 2014.
 
No. 6 Winze Project - Shaft deepening to 930 meters
The No. 6 Winze projectProject will provide access to the four Blanket resource bodies below 22 Level, viz. Blanket 1 Ore Body, Blanket 2 Ore body below 22 Level by upgradingBody, Blanket 4 Ore Body and deepening, the existing No. 6 Winze.Blanket Quartz Reef.  The pre-production capital cost of this project is estimated to be US$45 million, which will be funded from Blanket’s internal cash flows.  WorkProgress on this project continues:  a specialist mechanisedsinking was hampered by the continued inability to clear waste rock using mechanical cleaning.  Removal of waste is now done manually and sinking progress is now at an acceptable rate.  The shaft sinking crew have commenced work and will be responsible for the high-speed sinking of the shaft.  Exploration drilling during the Year has located the Blanket 4 Ore body on strike of the 2 Ore body, which adds substantially to the strike of mineralized zones present in this area and which can be fully evaluated using the access gained via the No. 6 Winze

Mill Building Upgrade
A new building measuring approximately 20m width x 51m length and 14 m high was constructed over the current structure that houses the primary rod mills. The new structure is equipped with a 70 ton overhead crane that can transverse the entire length and width of the building and is designed to cater for servicing all the current and future primary mills. A total of more than 50 tons of steel was used during this project. The entire structure is sheeted, roof and sides down to within 3 m from the groundreached 890 meters below surface, which will be bricked. the main production level and the main station has been mined at this level.  A further 40 meters remains to be sunk to accommodate rock handling facilities.  This project is expected to be completed according to the revised schedule at the end of July 2015.
22 Level Haulage Extension
The old mill building22 Level haulage extension will eventually complete the link between all sections of the Blanket Mine, from the Blanket Section to the Lima section in the north over a distance of 2,000 meters on the 22 Level (750 meters below surface).  Work on the 22 Level haulage has been temporarily suspended so that work can progress with the Tramming Loop.  To date, the haulage has advanced as far as Eroica where reef development is taking place between 750m and its 10 ton overhead gantry630m.  This work will provide access to the depth continuity of Eroica where an inferred resource of 300,000 tonnes at a gold grade of 3.5g/t has been outlined.

Central Shaft
The Central Shaft is the main component of the Revised Plan.  Sinking work on the Central Shaft is scheduled to commence in July 2015.  The shaft sinking methodology has been amended:  instead of the shaft being sunk in two simultaneous phases, the shaft will now be sunk in one single continuous phase from surface to 1,080 meters.  The estimated completion date of the shaft has been moved from mid-2017 to early 2018.  This change has no effect on the projected timing for the start of production from the Central Shaft and no adverse effect on economic return arising from the project as set out in the PEA.  Early in 2015 work commenced on clearing the ground so that pre-sink work can commence in late March, 2015.  Also in 2015, two 3,100 kW double-drum winders have been purchased which, once refurbished, will be relocatedadequate for the sinking phase and becomeeventual production and have the capability to reach a  depth of 2,000 meters below surface.

Outlook
On November 3, 2014 Caledonia announced the Revised Plan and production projections for the Blanket Mine. The objectives of the Revised Plan are to improve the underground infrastructure and logistics and allow an efficient and sustainable production build-up.  The infrastructure improvements will include the development of a “Tramming Loop” and the sinking of a new compressor house. 6-meter diameter Central Shaft from surface to 1,080 meters.
The Revised Plan provides for proposed investment of approximately US$50 million between 2015 and 2017 and a further US$20 million in the period 2018 to 2020.  The increased investment pursuant to the Revised Plan is expected to give rise to an increasing production profile that is expected to result in additional production from resources currently in the inferred category of approximately 70-75,000 ounces in 2021, this being in addition to projected production in 2021 from current mineral reserves of approximately 6,000 ounces.  The Revised Plan is also expected to improve Blanket’s long term operational efficiency, flexibility and sustainability.
The Revised Plan includes a revised life of mine plan for the Blanket Mine (the “LOM Plan”) in terms of which it is anticipated that the approximate production from existing compressor houseproven and probable mineral reserves above 750 m level will be dismantled and re-erected as a core shed at the exploration offices.set out below.

Canadian regulations do not allow planned production from inferred resources to be added to those from proven and probable reserves for disclosure purposes.
Minxcon completed a scoping level study on Blanket’s revised LOM Plan in the form of a PEA, a summary of which is included in the Technical Report. The key conclusions arising from the PEA are as follows:
·the IRR arising from the Revised Plan was calculated at 267 per cent;
·the NPV for the Blanket Mine arising from reserves and the inferred resources used in the Revised Plan was calculated at US$147 million; and
·of the gold that will need to be produced so that the cumulative cash flow arising from the Revised Plan becomes positive (i.e. the “Payback Area”), only 3 per cent will come from resources that are currently classified as inferred.
The Technical Report was authored by Daan van Heerden, Uwe Englemann, Dario Clemente, Johan Odendaal and Jaco Burger of Minxcon, each of whom is a qualified person who is independent of Caledonia for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.  The Technical Report, which includes the PEA, is available for download on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com or from Caledonia’s website at www.caledoniamining.com
 
The 22 Level Haulage Project,PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.  There is no certainty that the 18 Level Haulage Project,PEA will be realized. Diamond drilling and development will continue with the 14 Level Haulage Projectobjective of increasing confidence in order to upgrade the categorization of the resources.   The most important assumptions on which the PEA is based include, a gold price of US$1,250 per ounce, achievement of the targeted production set out above and the No.6 Winze Projects are all intended to open up areas for further exploration.  Accordingly, none of these projects is the subject of a new technical report


Outlook

The surplus capacityaccuracy of the Blanket leach section and crushing and milling plant enables it to immediately treat additional feed material.projected capital costs.
There is upward pressure on costs, taxes and regulatory fees in Zimbabwe and the regulatory environment is subject to unexpected adverse changes.  Nevertheless, Blanket has surplus metallurgical plant capacity and is sufficiently cash generative so that, if the investment climate is acceptable, it could invest in projects with a view to further increasing production, thereby helping to maintain downward pressure on the cost per ounce of gold produced at Blanket Mine.

 
EXPLORATION AND PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Nama Cobalt Project, Zambia
Caledonia holds four, contiguous large scale mining licenses covering approximately 800 square kilometers on the Zambian Copperbelt.  The northern boundary of Caledonia’s licensed area is the Democratic Republic of Congo border and the eastern boundary abuts against the Lubambe mining license area that is held by a joint venture between Vale and African Rainbow Minerals where a new copper mine was commissioned in 2012.  These licenses have been explored both for their cobalt and their copper potential.
In September 2012, Caledonia was provided with various conditions by the Mines Development Department of Zambia in connection with its mining licenses, one of which was a requirement to commence cobalt mining by July 2013.  Commencement of cobalt mining operations is, however, contingent upon the approval of an environmental impact assessment (“EIA”) by the Zambian Environmental Management Agency (“ZEMA”) which, owing to various additional requirements requested by ZEMA, is still to be granted.
In the interim, Caledonia has decided that, in view of the small scale of the planned operations and the small economic return, the company will engage with current operators in Zambia who already have the necessary infrastructure and operation. The purpose of these discussions is to enter into an agreement whereby a second party may operate the proposed cobalt mine.
The remaining carrying value of costs previously incurred and capitalized at the Nama Cobalt Project are therefore impaired as at December 31, 2013 because substantive expenditure on further development activities in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned and Caledonia has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area.

Nama Copper Project, Zambia
The Nama Copper Project is located on the mining license adjacent to the Lubambe Copper Mine which is being operated as a joint venture between VALE and African Rainbow Minerals. Caledonia carried out a drilling programme at the Nama Copper Project between April 2011 and June 2013 to assess the potential for copper mineralization in the area.  The results of this program were compiled and submitted to the Mines Development Department of Zambia (ZMDD) in accordance with the conditions set out by the ZMDD to maintain the licenses.
Subsequent to the submission of results of the exploration programme to the ZMMD, a preliminary technical study based on limited technical information was carried out by African Mining Consultants. The provisional findings of this exercise were that the surface leaching of copper had resulted in a low grade cap zone and that additional stripping of waste rock would be required to access the better grades below the oxidized zone. In addition, in view of the low grades of copper encountered, i.e. between 0.4% and 0.5% copper over a mineralized zone of between 15 meters and 25 meters thick, management believes that the capital requirements of this project are such that Caledonia would be unlikely to achieve an acceptable return on the project.  Accordingly the full carrying value of costs previously incurred and capitalized at the Nama Copper Project were impaired in the Year.

No further copper exploration work was conducted in the Quarter due to the onset of the wet season which restricts access to the field area.

Blanket Gold Mine, Zimbabwe
 
Caledonia’s primary exploration activities in Zimbabwe are undertaken byfocused on the growth and development of Blanket Mine and are discussed in Section 4.7its satellite properties.
Blanket Exploration
Exploration activities on Blanket Mine target the depth extensions of the MD&A for 2013.current Blanket ore bodies as well as the AR Main and AR South ore bodies and involves drilling downhole from chambers on 18 and 22 Levels to intersect the depth continuation of these ore bodies.  Drilling activities in 2014 were hampered by numerous machine breakdowns.
Caledonia has a conservative approach to accruing new resources: only resource blocks with an estimated grade in excess of the current pay limit are taken into account.  Resources that are below the pay limit are reviewed on an annual basis.
Blanket Satellite Prospects
Blanket Mine also has exploration title holdings in the form of registered mining claims in the Gwanda Greenstone Belt totalingtotalling 78 claims, including a small number under option, covering properties with a total area of about 2,500 hectares. Included within these claim areas are 18 previously operated small gold workings which warrant further exploration, i.e. the Satellite Projects.  Blanket’s main exploration efforts on these satellite properties are focused at this stage on the GG Project and the Mascot Project Area (which comprises three former mining operations i.e. Mascot, Eagle Vulture and Penzance) which, based on past production records, are believedlikely to have the greatest potential of success.potential.

GG Project
 
The GG Project is located approximately seven kilometers southeast of Blanket Mine.  Surface drilling programs have been carried out at the GG Project over the past eight years consisting of seventeen24 diamond-cored holes totaling 4,751m6,360 meters of drilling.  Two zones of gold mineralization warranting further exploration have been established down to a depth of at least 300m,300 meters, each with a potential strike length of approximately 150m.
up to 150 meters. Current activities involve the definition of the extent and characteristics of this mineralization by way of a prospect shaft and level development.
 
During Q1 2014 the Quarter work continueddevelopment on opening up the 120 meter level in orderwas completed to provide platforms for lateral diamond drilling.  70approximately 160 meters east of developmentthe shaft and four drill cubbies were completed in the Quarter, including two diamond drilling cubbies from which horizontal and inclined holes will bewere drilled to probeinto the two zones (North and South zones) that were identified by surface drilling.  AtThe horizontal and inclined drilling intersected the same time two raises were developedidentified zones, with the North zone hosting the more extensive mineralization. In Q2 2014, development reached the North Zone where the mineralisation that had been identified by drilling in previous quarters was opened up exposing a mineralised zone over a strike of 50 meters over which chip sampling returned an average value of 3.9g/t over an average width of 4 meters. Locally the mineralisation reaches a width of 10 meters and it is open on strike.  Based on this encouraging result further horizontal development has been suspended so that the shaft can be deepened to 240 meters. In Q3 2014 the shaft was sunk from 120 metermeters to 150 meters; in Q4 2014, the shaft was sunk further to 180 meters and development of the station on that level to the 60 meter level which will be used to handle waste rock from future sub-level development.is in progress.

Mascot Project Area
 
The Mascot Project Area includes three sections, viz. the Mascot prospect, the Penzance prospect and the Eagle Vulture prospect.  Mascot was previously mined down to a depth of approximately 300250 meters, exploiting an east-west trending mineralised body the strike extent of which decreased at depth.depth but which was accompanied by a doubling in width.  Previous surface drilling undertaken by Blanket has indicated the existence of two further mineralised zones, one to the north and one to the south of the mined out area.
 
Development towardsUnderground development on Levels 1 and 2 (60m and 90m below surface respectively) confirmed the north zoneexistence of potentially payable mineralisation on the 60North Parallel.   In Q2 and Q3 of 2014 development continued along the North Parallel on the 150m level.  This development has provided access to the mineralized area over a strike extent of 80 meters level (1 Level) entered the identified mineralised zone in the first quarterand a vertical extent of 2013 and further90 meters.  In Q4 development on this level was suspended until metallurgical investigations have been successfully completed and handling systems installed to allow material to be hoisted to surface.  In the Quarter, a new headgear and bin was fabricated and is ready for installation.  This will facilitateNorth zone reached the handling of material and allow for crushing to produce a more uniform product and improve truck loading factors.180 meter level.

Annual Operational Highlights
 
2013 – 2012
·11,429oz of gold were produced during Q4, a 3% decrease in gold production on Q4 2012 (the “comparable quarter”) of 11,821oz and an 5% decrease on Blanket’s record quarterly gold production in Q3 2013 (the “preceding quarter”) of 12,042oz.  Gold production was lower than the preceding quarter due to a 3-day planned shut down for essential maintenance and a lower head grade.  The gold production of 11,429oz achieved in Q4 was 14% higher than the targeted production of 10,000oz/quarter.
·Gold production for the 12 months to December 31, 2013 was 45,527oz, a 0.1% increase over the gold production in the 12 months to December 31, 2012 (45,464oz).  Gold production for 2013 is a new annual production record for Blanket since it commenced operations in 1906.
·Blanket’s cash operating costs in Q4 increased to US$666 per ounce of gold produced compared to US$558 in the preceding quarter and US$603 in the comparable quarter.  The increase in costs in the Quarter was due to the reduced production compared to the previous quarter and the higher labor and consumable costs incurred in the Quarter.
·Blanket’s cash operating costs for the Year were US$613 per ounce compared to US$570 in 2012.  The increase in costs was due primarily due to increased gold in process at December 2013.
·All-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold produced for the Quarter (i.e. including sustaining capital investment and general and administrative expenses) were US$1,175/oz compared to US$866/oz in the preceding quarter and US$937/oz. in the comparable quarter.
·All-inclusive costs for the year 2013 were US$1,109/oz compared to US$929/oz in 2012, the increase being largely due to the CSI donation.
2012-2011
·11,821oz of gold were produced during Q4, a 12% increase in gold production on Q4 2011 (the “comparable quarter”) of 10,533oz and an 8% decrease on Blanket’s record quarterly gold production in Q3 2012 (the “preceding quarter”) of 12,918oz.  Gold production was lower than the preceding quarter as the mined ore gold grade returned towards the planned long term mine reserve grade average of 3.84g/t.  The gold production of 11,821oz achieved in Q4 was 18% higher than the targeted production of 10,000oz/quarter.
·Gold production for the 12 months to December 31, 2012 was 45,465oz, a 27% increase over the gold production in the 12 months to December 31, 2011 (35,826oz).  Gold production for 2012 is a new annual production record for Blanket since it commenced operations in 1906.
·Blanket’s cash operating costs in Q4 increased to US$554 per ounce of gold produced compared to US$508 in the preceding quarter and US$521 in the comparable quarter.  The increase in costs in the Quarter was due to the reduced production compared to the previous quarter and the higher labor and consumable costs incurred in the Quarter.
·Blanket’s cash operating costs for the Year were US$571 per ounce compared to US$581 in 2011.  The reduction in costs was due primarily to increased production which offset increases in input costs.
31

·All-inclusive costs per ounce of gold produced for the Quarter (i.e. including sustaining capital investment and general and administrative expenses) were US$741/oz compared to US$669/oz in the preceding quarter and US$752/oz. in the comparable quarter.
·All-inclusive costs for the year 2012 were US$759/oz compared to US$895/oz in 2011, the reduction being largely due to the higher level of production in 2012 than 2011 which meant that fixed costs were spread over more ounces of gold produced.

Indigenisation
·
Transactions that implemented the Indigenisation of Blanket were completed on September 5th 2012.  Following completion of these transactions Caledonia now owns 49% of Blanket.
·Caledonia has received the Certificate of Compliance from the Government of Zimbabwe which confirms that Blanket is fully compliant with the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act.
·As an indigenised entity, Blanket can now develop and is now implementing its long term growth strategy.  The recently re-constituted Blanket board, which includes representatives of the Indigenous Zimbabwean shareholders, approved a capital investment programme for 2013 and a 4 year growth strategy for 2014 to 2017.  This investment programme, which was endorsed by the Caledonia Board, is estimated at US$37m, will be funded from Blanket’s internally generated cash, and is expected to result in progressive increases in gold production to approximately 76koz in 2016.

Exploration Highlights
·Exploration continued at the Blanket Mine focused on the potential to extend the Blanket mineralization below the 750 meter level and at certain of its satellite properties. The down plunge extent of the Blanket 4 Ore body was intersected with three boreholes, all of which returned favorable gold values. Work is in progress to incorporate this mineralization into the mineral resource basis for the Blanket Mine.
·Exploration development and diamond drilling at the two satellite projects, the GG Project and the Mascot Project have established the existence of multiple mineralized zones with potentially favorable gold grades. Further work is being done to define the extent and viability of these mineralized zones.
Corporate Highlights

·On January 24, 2013 a Special Meeting of the Caledonia Shareholders passed special resolutions approving a reduction of Stated Capital of Caledonia’s common shares by $140m and approving the consolidation of Caledonia’s issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for every ten (10) common shares currently issued.  Pursuant to these resolutions being passed:

·on February 22, 2013 Caledonia paid its maiden dividend of one-half Canadian cent ($0.005) per pre-consolidation share; and

·
the share consolidation took effect on April 13th 2013.


Investing

During the Quarter Caledonia invested $3,268,000 ($2,996,000 – 2012, $1,017,000 – 2011) in property, plant and equipment including mineral properties.  Of the amount invested $297,000 ($1,775,000 – 2012, $859,000 – 2011) was spent at Nama and $2,942,000 ($1,207,000 – 2012, $108,000 – 2011) at Blanket and its satellite properties.

As a result of the completion of the No. 4 Shaft Expansion Project in late 2010,2014, the underground mining areas can now produce up to 1,200 tons of ore daily using predominately long-hole open stoping methods.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed
 
This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, the following U.S. Holders that:  (a) are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) own Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) acquired Common Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) hold Common Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); or (h) own, have owned or will own  (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company.  This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are:  (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”); (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold Common Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose Common Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” under the Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention.  U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares.
 
54

If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or other “pass-through” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such entity and the partners (or other owners) of such entity generally will depend on the activities of the entity and the status of such partners (or owners).  This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such owner.  Partners (or other owners) of entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships or as “pass-through” entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.
 
Ownership and Disposition of Common Shares
 
The following discussion is subject to the rules described below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”
 
Taxation of Distributions
 
A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a Common Share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any foreign income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Common Shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares (see “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares” below).  However, the Company may not maintain the calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder may have to assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the Common Shares will constitute ordinary dividend income.  Dividends received on Common Shares by corporate U.S. Holders generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction”.  Subject to applicable limitations and provided the Company is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, dividends paid by the Company to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends, provided certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied, including that the Company not be classified as a PFIC (as defined below) in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year.  The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.
 
50

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares
 
A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Common Shares sold or otherwise disposed of.  Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, such Common Shares are held for more than one year.
 
Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.  Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.
 
55



Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
 
If the Company were to constitute a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, then certain potentially adverse rules would affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares.  The Company believes that it was not a PFIC duringfor the tax year ended December 31, 2013.2014. However, PFIC classification is fundamentally factual in nature, generally cannot be determined until the close of the tax year in question, and is determined annually.  Additionally, the analysis depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations.  Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company has never been and will not become a PFIC for any tax year during which U.S. Holders hold Common Shares.
 
In addition, in any year in which the Company is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require.  A failure to satisfy such reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax.  U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8621.
 
The Company generally will be a PFIC under Section 1297 of the Code if, after the application of certain “look-through” rules with respect to subsidiaries in which the Company holds at least 25% of the value of such subsidiary, for a tax year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company for such tax year is passive income (the “income test”) or (b) 50% or more of the value of the Company’s assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”), based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets.  “Gross income” generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and “passive income” generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.  Active business gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income if substantially all (85% or more) of a foreign corporation’s commodities are stock in trade or inventory, depreciable property used in a trade or business or supplies regularly used or consumed in the ordinary course of its trade or business, and certain other requirements are satisfied.
 
If the Company were a PFIC in any tax year during which a U.S. Holder held Common Shares, such holder generally would be subject to special rules with respect to “excess distributions” made by the Company on the Common Shares and with respect to gain from the disposition of Common Shares. An “excess distribution” generally is defined as the excess of distributions with respect to the Common Shares received by a U.S Holder in any tax year over 125% of the average annual distributions such U.S. Holder has received from the Company during the shorter of the three preceding tax years, or such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares. Generally, a U.S. Holder would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of the Common Shares ratably over its holding period for the Common Shares. Such amounts allocated to the year of the disposition or excess distribution would be taxed as ordinary income, and amounts allocated to prior tax years would be taxed as ordinary income at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year and an interest charge at a rate applicable to underpayments of tax would apply.
 
While there are U.S. federal income tax elections that sometimes can be made to mitigate these adverse tax consequences (including the “QEF Election” under Section 1295 of the Code and the “Mark-to-Market Election” under Section 1296 of the Code), such elections are available in limited circumstances and must be made in a timely manner.
 
51

U.S. Holders should be aware that, for each tax year, if any, that the Company is a PFIC, the Company can provide no assurances that it will satisfy the record keeping requirements of a PFIC, or that it will make available to U.S. Holders the information such U.S. Holders require to make a QEF Election with respect to the Company or any subsidiary that also is classified as a PFIC.  U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to the ownership and disposition of Common Shares, and the availability of certain U.S. tax elections under the PFIC rules.
 
56

Additional Considerations
 
Additional Tax on Passive Income

Certain individuals, estates and trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surtax on “net investment income” including, among other things, dividends and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in certain trades or businesses).  U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership and disposition of Common Shares.

Receipt of Foreign Currency

The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time).  A U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt.  Any U.S. Holder who converts or otherwise disposes of the foreign currency after the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.  Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method with respect to foreign currency received upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Common Shares. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

Foreign Tax Credit

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax.  Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder’s income subject to U.S. federal income tax.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.

Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income.  In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.”  Generally, dividends paid by a foreign corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of stock of a foreign corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code.  However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the Common Shares that is treated as a “dividend” may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder.  In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income.  The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
52


Under U.S. federal income tax law and Treasury Regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation.  For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on individuals who are U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts.  The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity.  U. S. Holders may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their Common Shares are held in an account at certain financial institutions.  Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial.  U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8938.

57

Payments made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of, Common Shares will generally be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax.  However, certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules.  Backup withholding is not an additional tax.  Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute a complete description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder.  A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

ITEM 11 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
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 Company 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 Company’s Audit Committee oversees management’s compliance with the Company’s financial risk management policy.

The fair value of the Company’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
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 liabilities 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 shortterm liquidity requirements.

Below is a summary of the assets and liabilities 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 US dollars or South African rand.

B.   Interest Rate Risk
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.
 
59

Unless otherwise noted, it is the opinion of management that the Group is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as it has no debt financing 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 endeavoring 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.
 
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. The Bond plus accrued interest is guaranteed by RBZ on maturity.  Blanket Mine 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.
 
C.   Concentration of Credit Risk
C.  Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a gold sales customer fails to meet its contractual obligation. In 2013,From 2014, gold sales were made to Rand RefineriesFidelity in South Africa and Metalor Technologies in SwitzerlandZimbabwe and the payment terms stipulated in the service delivery contract have been adhered to in all instances. AllNo funds were outstanding at December 31, 2013,2014, for bullion delivered have subsequently been received in full.delivered.

D.  Liquidity Risk
 
D.   Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

 
The Company 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 Company’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Company 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.

The Zimbabwean operations are now covered for Public Liability risk, assets all risk and Comprehensive cover on all motor vehicles.

E.   Commodity Price Risk
E.  Commodity Price Risk
 
The value of the Company’s mineral resource properties is related to the price of gold platinum, copper 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 Company’s cash flows.
55


Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Company'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 $USUS$ gold price movements have been ascendingdescending but the effect of devaluation of the US$ against the Canadian $ and the South African Rand against the US$ has mitigated somewhat against the higherlower US$ gold price.

Caledonia has not hedged any of its past or future gold sales.

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
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, 2013.2014.  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, 2013,2014, and we have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at December 31, 2013.2014.

B. Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting (“ICOFR”)
Caledonia 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.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controlscontrol over financial reporting (“ICOFR”). Any system of internal controlsas defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and the presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. A control system, no matter how well designed has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effectiveand operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparationthat the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and presentation.instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.
 
At December 31, 2012 we reported a material weakness relating to segregationUnder the supervision and with the participation of duties at the Africa office in South Africa. During the year ended December 31, 2013 we remediated this weakness by appointing an assistant to the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) to assume responsibility for the preparation of Caledonia’s consolidated financial statementsCEO and allow the CFO, to oversee the reporting process which enhanced the ICOFR. This represented a material change in our internal controls.
56

At December 31, 2013 we have tested our ICOFR and management has evaluatedManagement assessed the effectiveness of Caledonia’sthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting andas of December 31, 2014. In making their assessment, Management used criteria established in the framework on 1992 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based upon that assessment, Management concluded that suchthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective and there were no material weaknesses. As partat the reasonable assurance level as of their monitoring and oversight role, the Audit Committee performs a review and conducts discussions with management. No material exceptions were noted based on the additional procedures and no evidence of fraudulent activity was found.
The Company has evaluated ICOFR using independent consultants in the past who assessed the effectiveness of controls over financial reporting using an internationally acceptable framework considered appropriate for the group.

December 31, 2014.
 
C.Attestation Report of registered public accounting firm
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, which permits us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report; the Dodd-Frank Act permits a "non-accelerated filer" to provide only management's report on internal control over financial reporting in an Annual Report and omit an attestation report of the issuer's registered public accounting firm regarding management's report on internal control over financial reporting and (ii) as we qualify as an "emerging growth company" under section 3(a) of the Exchange Act (as amended by the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012), and are therefore exempt from the attestation requirement.

D.Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Apart from the appointment of the assistant to the CFO thereThere 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.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
To the Shareholders of Caledonia Mining Corporation:
 
Management has prepared the information and representations in these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of Caledonia Mining Corporation (“the Group”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) 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.
 
The Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) also includes information regarding the impact of current transactions, sources of liquidity, 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 Group maintains adequate systems of internal accounting and administrative controls, consistent withwithin 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 consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on them.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting (“ICOFR”ICFR”). Any system of internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
At December 31, 2012 we reported a material weakness relating to segregation of duties at the Africa office in South Africa. During the year ended December 31, 2013 we remediated this weakness by appointing an assistant to the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) to assume responsibility for the preparation of Caledonia’s consolidated financial statements and the CFO will now oversee the reporting process which will enhance the ICOFR. This represents a material change in our internal controls.
At December 31, 2013 we have tested our ICOFR and2014 management has evaluated the effectiveness of Caledonia’sthe Group’s internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting was effective and there were no material weaknesses.
 As part of their monitoring and oversight role, the Audit Committee performs a review and conducts discussions withweaknesses or changes in internal controls identified by management. No material exceptions were noted based on the additional procedures and no evidence of fraudulent activity was found.
 
The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee is composed of three independent 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 by the Group’s independent auditor, KPMG Inc., in accordance with Canadian Auditing Standards.  The independent auditors’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, 20132014 were approved by the Board of Directors and signed on its behalf on March 28, 2014.27, 2015.

1           Reporting entity
 
Caledonia Mining Corporation (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Canada. The address of the Company’s registered office is Suite 4009, 1 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1A1, Canada. TheThese consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 20132014 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”). The Group is primarily 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
 
(i) 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 (“IASB”).
 
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on March 28, 2014.
27, 2015.
 
(ii) 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:
·equity-settled share-based payment arrangements measured at fair value on grant date.
 
(iii) PresentationFunctional and presentation currency
 
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the reportingfunctional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
 
(iv) Going concern
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis.
 
3          Use of estimates and judgmentsjudgements
 
Management makesIn preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the application of the Group‘s accounting policies and the reported amountsamount of assets, liabilities, income and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.expenses. Actual experienceresults may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions in estimates are recognised prospectively.

i)Indigenisation transaction
The indigenisation transaction of the Blanket Mine (1983) (Private) Limited (“Blanket Mine”) required management to make significant judgements and assumptions. The effect of a changeassumptions which are explained in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income.Note 5.

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 also discussed below:
(b)  Assumptions and Estimation uncertainties
 
i)    Indigenisation transaction
The indigenisation transaction of the Blanket Mine (1983)(Private) Limited (“Blanket Mine”) required management to make significant judgments and assumptions which are explained in Note 5.
ii)              Site restoration provisions
i)  Site restoration provisions
 
The site restoration provision has been calculated for the Blanket Mine based on an independent analysis of the rehabilitation costs as performed in 2012 and based on the internal assessment for Eersteling Gold Mining CorporationCompany Limited. Estimates and assumptions are made when determining the inflationary effect on current restoration costs and the discount rate to be applied in arriving at the present value of the provision.provision where the time value of money effect is significant. 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 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 the rehabilitation costs are actually incurred.  The final cost of the currently recognized site rehabilitation provisions may be higher or lower than currently provided for.
 
iii)              Exploration and evaluation (“E&E”) expenditure

, disclosed under Property, plant and equipment as mineral properties not depreciated.
 
The Group also makes estimates and assumptions regarding the possible impairment of E&E properties by evaluating whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Group, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available. If information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditures is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in profit or loss in the period the new information becomes available.

3          Use of estimates and judgments - (continued)
The recoverability of the carrying amount of the South African and Zambian mineral properties (if not impaired) is dependent upon the availability of sufficient funding to bring the properties into commercial production, the price of the products to be recovered, the exchange rate of the local currency relative to the currency of funding and the undertaking of profitable mining operations. As a result of these uncertainties, the actual amount recovered may vary significantly from the carrying amount.
 
iv)iii)   Income taxes
 
Significant estimates and assumptions are 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 Group 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 Group applies judgmentjudgement in recognizing 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.
 
3          Use of estimates and judgements - (continued)
 
v)iv) Share-based payment transactions
 
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled, share based payment transactions with employees, directors as well as with Indigenisation Shareholders (refer note 5 and 20) by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments on the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the appropriate valuation model, considering 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. Additional information about significant judgmentsjudgements and estimates and assumptions for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in note 20.
 
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility.  Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Group’s stock options.

vi) Impairment
 
At each reporting date, the Group determines if impairment indicators exist, and if present, performs an impairment review of the non-financial assets held in the Group. The exercise is subject to various judgmentaljudgemental decisions and estimates. Financial assets are also reviewed regularly for impairment. Further details of the judgmentsjudgements and estimates made for these reviews are set out in Note 4(g).
 
vii)vi) 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 judgmentjudgement decisions. The determination of the functional currency has a bearing on the translation process and ultimately the foreign currency translation reserve.
 
viii)vii)  Measurement of fair values
 
Some of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosure require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
 
The Group has established a control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team member who has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements.
 
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group’s Audit Committee.
 
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Where applicable, fair values are categorizedcategorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:

(a) Basis of consolidation
 
i)Subsidiaries
 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variablevariability in returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
 
ii)Loss of control
 
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizesderecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any gain or loss is recognizedrecognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
 
iii)Non-controlling interests
 
NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the carrying amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at fair value at the acquisition date. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
 
iv)Transactions eliminated on consolidation
 
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealizedunrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. UnrealizedUnrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealizedunrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
 
 
(b) Foreign currency
 
i)Foreign operations

These consolidated respectively. Subsidiary financial statements have been translated to Canadian dollars as follows:
 ·Assets and liabilities are 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.

4          Significant accounting policies - (continued)

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 Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). If settlement is planned or likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses are included in profit or loss.

4           Significant accounting policies - (continued)

When the Group 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.

All resulting translation differences are reported in OCI.
 
ii)Foreign currency translation
 
In preparing the financial statements of the Group entities, transactions in currencies other than the Group entity’sentities’ functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the current 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 or loss for the year.

i)Non-derivative financial assets
 
The Group initially recognizesrecognises loans and receivables on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets are recognizedrecognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
 
The Group derecognizesderecognises 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 recognizedrecognised 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 realizerealise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: trade and other receivables, prepayments as well as cash and cash equivalents.
 
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 recognizedrecognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortizedamortised 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.immaterial.

Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables as well as cash and cash equivalents.prepayments.

Cash and cash equivalents
 
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.

Financial liabilities are recognizedrecognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognizesderecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
 
The Group has the following non-derivativeNon-derivative financial liabilities:liabilities consist of bank overdrafts Zimbabwe advance dividend accrual as recognized in 2012 and trade and other payables.
 
Such financial liabilities are recognizedrecognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortizedamortised cost using the effective interest method.
 
(d) Share capital
 
Share capital is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of commonordinary shares and share options are recognizedrecognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

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 labor,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.
 
ii)Exploration and evaluation expenditure
 
Exploration costs are expensed as incurred, unless there is a high degree of confidence in the project's viability and it is probable that the project will return future economic benefits to the group when all further pre-production expenditure is capitalised. These costs include evaluation costs.
 
Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to exploration and evaluation expenditureexpenditures (“E&E”) are capitalized in addition to the acquisition costs.costs and disclosed under Property, plant and equipment as mineral properties not depreciated These direct expenditures include such costs as materials used, surveying costs, drilling costs, payments made to contractors, direct administrative costs 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 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.

iv)Depreciation
 
Depreciation is calculated overto write off the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Depreciation is recognizedrecognised 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 10equipment10 years
·fixtures and fittings including computers 4 to 10 years
·motor vehicles 4 years
 
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

Consumable stores are measured at the lower of cost and net realizablerealisable 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 realizablerealisable value is the estimated selling price in the commonordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(g)Impairment
 
(i) Financial assets (including receivables)
(i)Financial assets (including receivables)
 
A financial asset not carried atclassified as 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 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 amortizedamortised 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 recognizedrecognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognizedrecognised 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.
 
(ii) Non-financial assets
(ii)Non-financial assets
 
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories 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. 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 recognizedrecognised if the carrying amount of a CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The estimated recoverable amount is the greater of its fair value less cost to sell and its estimated value in use. Impairment losses are recognizedrecognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognizedrecognised in respect of CGUs are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. Impairment losses recognizedrecognised 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 amortization,amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.recognised.
 
(iii) Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
(iii)Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
 
The test for recoverability of E&E assets can combine several CGUs 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.
 
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.

The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees and directors is recognizedrecognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the award. The amount recognizedrecognised 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 recognizedrecognised 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.
 
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.

(j)Provisions
 
A provision is recognizedrecognised 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 recognizedrecognised as finance cost.
 
 (k) Site restoration
(k)Site restoration
 
The Group recognizesrecognises 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 and are related to the provision are used to calculate the net present value. The Group’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 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 andor loss as incurred.

(n)Income tax
 
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax expense are recognizedrecognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognizedrecognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
(i)  Current tax
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 recognizedrecognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
(ii)  Deferred tax
Deferred tax is not recognizedrecognised 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 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. A deferred tax asset is recognizedrecognised 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 utilized.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 realized.

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 Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the adjusted profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group (see note 18) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees and directors as well as any dilution in Group earnings originating from dilutive partially recognizedrecognised non-controlling interests at a subsidiary level.

Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
 
The Group does not have financial assets and financial liabilities that are offset. As a result, the amendments to IFRS 7 did not require expanded disclosure about the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities.
 
SubsidiariesIAS 36 Amendment - Disclosure of recoverable amount for non-financial assets
 
As a result of IFRS 10 (2011), theThe Group has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over and consequently whether it consolidates its investees. IFRS 10 (2011) introduces a new model that focuses on whether the Group has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the ability to use its power to affect those returns.
In accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 10 (2011), the Group reassessed the control conclusion for its investees at 1 January 2013. The results of the assessment did not require a change in its control conclusion in respect of its investments.

Disclosure of interest in other entities
As a result of IFRS 12, the Group has expanded its disclosure about its interests in subsidiaries (see Note 5).
 Fair value measurement
IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosure about fair value measurements when such measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. It unifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurements date.
It replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, including IFRS 7. As a result, the Group has included additional disclosure in this regard (see Note 3(viii).
In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, the Group has applied the new fair value measurement guidance prospectively and has not provided any comparative information for new disclosures. Notwithstanding the above, the change had no significant impact on the measurements of the Group’s assets and liabilities.
Presentation of items of OCI
As a result ofadopted the amendments to IAS 1,36 (2013) in the Groupyear ended December 31, 2014. To the extent that impairment is recognised and the recoverable amount is determined with reference to fair value less costs of disposals, the required additional disclosure has modified the presentation of items of OCI in its statement of profit or loss and OCI, to present separately items that would be reclassified to profit or loss from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss.been provided.

The amendments apply for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 and early application is permitted. The amendment is not expected to result in significant changes to the level of aggregation in the financial statements.

The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognising revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised.
This new standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group since it is not expected to change the timing of when revenue is recognised and the amount of revenue recognised. The Group is currently in the process of performing a more detailed assessment of the impact of this standard on the Group and will provide more information in the year ending December 31, 2016 financial statements.
 
·IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
On July 24, 2014, the IASB issued the final IFRS 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9 (2009), financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model inFinancial Instruments Standard, which they are held and the characteristics of their contractual cash flows. IFRS 9 (2010) introduces additions relating to financial liabilities. The IASB currently has an active project to make limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirementsreplaces earlier versions of IFRS 9 and add new requirementscompletes the IASB’s project to addressreplace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. This standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.
Group as measurement categories are similar to IAS 39 even though the criteria for classification into these categories are significantly different. The effective date of IFRS 9 was 1 January 2015.impairment model has also been changed from an “incurred loss” model from IAS 39 to an “expected credit loss” model. The effective date has been postponed and a new datechange is yetnot expected to be specified.increase the provision for bad debts recognised in the Group because of the short gold sales collection period. The Group will adopt the standard in the first annual period beginning on or after the mandatory effective date (once specified). The impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 has not yet been estimated as the standard is still being revised and impairment and macro-hedge accounting guidance is still outstanding.
There may be an impact on the Group’s statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income resulting from the new guidance on financial instruments.  Management continues to monitor the development of the new standards on financial instruments and the potential impact the new standards may have as the date of adoption draws closer.
Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation
The amendments to IAS 32 will be adopted by the Group in the year ending December 31, 2014.

by “currently has a legally enforceable right to set off”. The amendment provides guidance in IAS 32 to clarify the criteria.
The amendments clarify that an entity currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off if that right is:
·    Not contingent on a future event; and
·    Enforceable in all of the following circumstances:
- The normal course of business;
- The event of default;
- The event of insolvency or bankruptcy.
IFRS 7 disclosure requirements have been amended so that the IASB and the US Financial Accounting Standards Board will have common disclosure requirements.
The amendment’s impact is limited to presentation and disclosure and will not impact recognition and measurement of financial instruments of the Group.

IAS 36 Amendment - Disclosure of recoverable amount for non-financial assets
The Group will adopt the amendments to IAS 36 (2013) in the year ending 31 December 2014. To the extent that impairment is recognized and the recoverable amount is determined with reference to fair value less costs of disposals, the required additional disclosure will be provided.

Outstanding balances on the facilitation loans attract interest at a rate of 10% over the 12-month LIBOR. The timing of the repayment of the loans depends on the future financial performance of Blanket Mine and the extent of future dividends declared by Blanket Mine.

In order to ensure the repayment from Blanket Mine to Caledonia of the vendor funding , Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe approval was obtained for theThe facilitation loans relating to bethe group were declared by Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (“CHZ”) (Blanket Mine’s parent company) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Caledonia Mining Corporation as a dividend in specie on February 14, 2013 and withholding tax amounting to US$1.504 million was paid and expensed on March 5, 2013.

The Government of Zimbabwe has confirmed that the implementation of the terms of the MoU and the underlying subscription agreements constitute full compliance with the requirements of the Indigenisation Act and the Regulations and Blanket Mine has received its certificate of compliance which confirms that Blanket Mine is fully compliant with the requirements of Section 3(1)(a) of the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act (Chapter 14.33).
Completion of the above agreements was subject to specified conditions as contemplated in the MoU, underlying agreements and related transactions to give effect to the Indigenisation Transaction. The final condition precedent was met on September 5, 2012 and on that date, the Indigenisation Shareholders effectively acquired 51% ownership and economic interest in the Blanket Mine.

Accounting treatment
Further to the implementation of the Indigenisation Transaction, a 51% shareholding in Blanket Mine was acquired by the Indigenisation Shareholders. The directors of Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (“CHZ”)CHZ, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, performed an assessment, using the requirements of IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), to determine whether Blanket Mine should continue to be consolidated by CHZ.

the subscription agreements will be accounted for as a transaction with non-controlling interests and share based payments.
Control as contemplated in IFRS 10 was considered to exist on the basis of exercisable power conferred on Caledonia Holdings Zimbabwe to cast majority votes at board level as contained in the registered founding documents of Blanket Mine as well as consideration of the de facto control aspects of the relative shareholdings in Blanket Mine. The aspect of control under IFRS 10 is reviewed at each reporting period.
Accordingly, on the effective date of the transaction the subscription agreements were accounted for as follows:
·Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) were recognized(NCI) are recognised on the portion of shareholding upon which dividends declared by Blanket Mine will accrue unconditionally to equity holders as follows:
(a)(a)           20% of the 16%  shareholding of NIEEF;
(b)(b)           20% of the 15%  shareholding of Fremiro;
(c)           100% of the 10% shareholding of the Community Trust.
(c)100% of the 10% shareholding of the GCSOT.
·This effectively means that NCI is recognized at Blanket Mine level at 16.2% of the net assets.
·      This effectively means that NCI is recognised at Blanket Mine level at 16.2% of the net assets.
·The remaining 80% of the shareholding of NIEEF and Fremiro is recognizedrecognised as non-controlling interests to the extent that their attributable share of the net asset value calculated at fair value of Blanket Mine exceeds the balance on the facilitation loans including interest. At December 31, 2013,2014 the attributable net asset value calculated at fair value did not exceed the balance on the respective loan accounts and thus no additional NCI was recognized.
·As the facilitation loans are only repayable from dividends declared by Blanket Mine, a loan receivable is not recognized and the arrangement is accounted for within equity.
·The difference between the fair value of the equity instruments granted and facilitation loans, taking into account all the interest terms and advance dividend rights (see below), was recognized as a share based payment expense (refer Note 20).recognised.
·
The transaction with the BETS will beis accounted for in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits (profit sharing arrangement) as the ownership of the shares does not ultimately pass to the employees. The employees are entitled to participate in 20% of the dividends accruing to the 10% shareholding in Blanket Mine if they are employed at the date of such distribution. To the extent that 80% of the attributable dividends exceed the balance on the BETS facilitation loan they will accrue to the employees at the date of such declaration.
·The Employee Trust and BETS are structured entities which are effectively controlled and consolidated by Blanket Mine. Accordingly the shares held by BETS are effectively treated as treasury shares in Blanket Mine and no NCI is recognised.

(a)Currency risk
 
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The Group does not applyuse financial instruments to hedge accounting to manage its exposure to currency risk. Currency risk on the repayment of the sales and purchases are managed by regular repayments of the outstanding amounts.

Liquidity 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 risk 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
expenditure expenditures by regularly monitoring cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities.

Since the inception of dollarization in Zimbabwe in 2009, all appropriate 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.

Tax assets (liabilities)22162(8,743)(5,913)(8,522)(5,851)


The company has not recognized 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, 2013, these earnings amount to $22,241 (2012- $14,689; 2011- $8,351).

As December 31, 2013 the Company has a capital loss carry forwards of $70,701 (2012- $51,245) in Canada for which the benefits have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements.

The non-capital tax losses expire as set out below. The deductible temporary differences do not expire under the current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilize the benefits there from.

18               Earnings/(Loss) per share – (continued)
 ·Basic earnings are adjusted for the amounts that accrue to other equity holders of subsidiaries upon the full distribution of post-acquisition earnings to shareholders.
 ·Diluted earnings is calculated on the basis that the unpaid ownership interests of Blanket Mine’s Indigenisation shareholders are effectively treated as options whereby the weighted average fair value for the period of the Blanket Mine shares issued to Indigenous Zimbabweans and which are subject to settlement of the loan accounts is compared to the balance of the loan accounts and any excess portion is regarded as dilutive.  The difference between the number of Blanket Mine shares subject to the settlement of the loan accounts and the number of Blanket Mine shares that would have been issued at the average fair value during the period of the Blanket Mine shares is treated as the issue of shares for no consideration and regarded as dilutive shares.  The calculated dilution is taken into account with additional earnings attributable to the dilutive shares in Blanket Mine, if any.

The interest of NIEEF and Fremiro shareholding were anti-dilutive in the current year (i.e. the value of the options was less than the outstanding loan balance) and accordingly there was no adjustment to fully diluted earnings attributable to commonordinary shareholders.

(b) Equity instruments granted under the Blanket Mine Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction

The equity instruments granted under the Blanket Mine Zimbabwe Indigenisation Transaction (refer note 5), excluding Blanket Mine Employee Trust Services (Private) Limited (BETS), were accounted for as share-based payments under IFRS 2 Share Based Payment, whilst the equity instruments granted to BETS have been accounted for under IAS 19 Employee benefits.

The fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date of September 5, 2012 was determined for each transaction as being the sum of the present value of the following components:
 ·The value of the shares at the point that any loans provided to purchase the shares or fund advance dividends are paid off;
 ·The value of any advance dividends paid to participants;
 ·The value of any “trickle dividends”, being the 20% entitlements, paid to participants while the loans to purchase the shares are outstanding.
 
To determine the fair value of the equity-settled share-based payment and take into account the unique features of each transaction, the Monte Carlo Simulation technique was used as the valuation model to allow for the uncertainty around the potential scenarios that affect the value of each arrangement. Projected market values were estimated using a stochastic modelling methodology based on Geometric Brownian Motion model. Additional equity instruments will vest to the Non-controlling interest to the extent that their attributable share of the net asset value of Blanket Mine exceeds the balance on the facilitation loans including interest. Refer to note 5 for the accounting treatment of the Non-controlling interests.

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 liabilities 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 shortterm liquidity requirements.
Below is a summary of the assets and liabilities 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 US dollars or South African rand.rands.

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 has no debt financing 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 endeavoringendeavouring 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.
 
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. The Bond plus accrued interest is guaranteed by RBZ on maturity.  Blanket Mine 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 Mine continues to retain legal ownership of the RBZ debt.
The basis for determining all other fair values is disclosed in note 4.
