Chaarat Gold Holdings Ltd

                              (AIM:CGH)

                    ("Chaarat" or "the Company")

Receipt of Chinese regulatory approval and application for admission
                     of shares to trading on AIM


Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (8 September 2009).

Further to the announcement on 13 July 2009, Chaarat today announces
that regulatory approval of the Chinese Government to the
subscription by China Nonferrous Metals Int'l Mining Co Ltd ("CNMIM")
for 22,469,289 shares ("Placing Shares") at 25p in the Company has
been received.

Accordingly the Company has applied for the Placing Shares to be
admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange
and it is expected that Admission will take place and that trading
will commence in such shares on or about 14 September 2009.

The Placing Shares are being issued credited as fully paid and will
rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Following the admission of the Placing Shares, the Company's existing
issued share capital will increase from 90,441,714 Ordinary Shares of
$0.01 each to 112,911,003 Ordinary Shares ("Enlarged Share
Capital").  As such, the total number of voting rights which will be
attached to the Enlarged Share Capital on the basis of one vote per
Ordinary Share will be 112,911,003.

The above voting rights figure may be used by shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether
they are required to notify their interests in, or a change to their
interest in, the Company, under the Financial Services Authority's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Dekel Golan CEO comments: "I am delighted to welcome CNMIM as
shareholders and look forward to their contribution in taking the
Chaarat project towards development. This investment, together with
the Placing in May, will fund the Company through to completion of a
full feasibility study".
