shares in issue.

notify CNMIM of its intention to issue new shares and CNMIM has the option to
maintain its percentage holding in the Company at 19.9 per cent. of Chaarat's
issued share capital. Notice of the issue of the New Shares and also the issue
of shares relating to the placing announced on 1 July 2010 (the "Placing") was
given to CNMIM.
Chaarat is pleased to announce that CNMIM has confirmed to the Company that it
will subscribe for such number of shares to maintain its 19.9 per cent holding.
 The proceeds from the subscription are estimated to be in the order of £2m
which, with the proceeds of the Placing, means that the Company has raised
approximately £5.85m (before expenses). The investment by CNMIM in Chaarat is
subject to the necessary regulatory approvals from the Chinese government, such
approvals are expected by 31 October 2010 and a further announcement regarding
