Resolution of Dispute between Kyrgyz Republic and Centerra Gold

Chaarat Gold (AIM: CGH), the AIM-quoted gold mining Company with an operating mine in Armenia, and assets at various stages of development in the Kyrgyz Republic, is pleased to note that the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and Centerra Gold Inc. signed an agreement regarding a resolution of the dispute on the Kumtor Mine in the Kyrgyz Republic on 4th April 2022 .

Mike Fraser, Chief Executive Officer of Chaarat , commented:

" The agreement on the Kumtor dispute is a positive development and we are confident that a resolution will be beneficial for overall investor sentiment in the region. As we understand from several financing parties, this was one of the key preconditions for financing, and we are looking forward to reengaging with potential financial partners on our Tulkubash project.

Our projects in the Chatkal valley are an important value creation opportunity for the area and its communities. We believe that investments such as ours and the strong commitment by the Kyrgyz Government towards international investors will attract further investment to the country . In addition, this will also allow Chaarat to accelerate development of its Kyzyltash deposit which remains the Company's main strategic objective in Kyrgyzstan. "
