Notes to Editors:

Central African Gold Plc, admitted to AIM in April 2004, was established to acquire gold assets with a geographical focus on Africa. The Company has established a sound portfolio with projects in Ghana, Mali, Zimbabwe and Botswana. It has a highly experienced management team, which has worked together for four years managing six underground greenstone gold mining operations and building exploration portfolios.

CAG's portfolio includes the developing Bibiani gold mine and two prospecting licences in Ghana, which it acquired from AngloGold Ashanti Limited, three joint ventures in Mali covering 17 prospective permits and a licence in Botswana covering the extension of the Kraaipan greenstone belt from South Africa. During 2007, CAG acquired five gold mines and extensive exploration properties in Zimbabwe. The management team is evaluating additional prospects in Africa to establish CAG as a leading mid-tier African gold producer with world class exploration and production assets.
