Working Capital Facility
Chaarat Gold (AIM: CGH), the AIM-quoted exploration and development company with assets at various stages of development in the Kyrgyz Republic, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new US$5 million secured working capital facility arrangement (the "Facility") with its largest shareholder, Labro Investments Limited ("Labro").

David Mackenzie, Chief Financial Officer, said:
"Chaarat appreciates the continued strong support from our largest shareholder which enables the Company to continue towards the development of its Kyrgyz assets. The new facility will provide sufficient operational funding for Chaarat to continue to work constructively with the holders of its convertible loan notes and towards the completion of a fully-financed first phase development of Tulkubash. "
