Appointment to the Board

Chaarat (AIM: CGH), the AIM-quoted exploration and development company with assets in the Kyrgyz Republic, is pleased to announce the appointment, effective today, of Mr Robert Edwards to the Board as an independent non-executive director.

A mining engineer with a degree from the Camborne School of Mines, Mr. Edwards is the former chairman of Global Mining at Renaissance Capital and has also worked for HSBC and the Royal Bank of Canada. He has worked in the global natural resources industry for 27 years, primarily in frontier and emerging markets, advising the managements of numerous companies on a range of industrial issues. As well as bringing deep sector knowledge, he has played a central role on multiple IPOs, capital raisings and M&A transactions.

Mr. Edwards is currently an independent non-executive director and member of the audit and corporate governance and remuneration committees of MMC Nornickel, and an adviser to several private natural resource companies.

Martin Andersson, Executive Chairman of Chaarat, said: "Rob brings a deep knowledge of the global mining sector, with a particular emphasis on frontier markets. His broad institutional and corporate experience combined with his industry insights give him a unique capacity to advise on the successful operation of a growing mining business."

"That background complements Chaarat's rapid expansion in the Commonwealth of Independent States, and I look forward to his contribution as we grow our asset base and production capacity across the region."
