Budget update
The directors continue to foresee that the funds raised -$87 mio- in March 2011 will be sufficient to complete the project and reach production within the anticipated budget framework. The option of leasing the mining fleet and diesel generators is being investigated with a view to reducing the cash outlay further. Tenders for the processing plant and mining fleet are expected to be completed by February 2012.

Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited
("Chaarat" or the "Company")
Strategic update
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (13th May 2013)
Chaarat (AIM:CGH), the AIM quoted gold exploration and development company with assets in the Kyrgyz Republic, is pleased to update the market on its strategy for unlocking the value of the Chaarat deposit.
· Fast tracking to Definitive Feasibility Study to underpin discussions on strategic alliances
· Acceleration of infrastructure development
· No fund raising required, no shareholder's dilution and no debt arrangements required
· New management of Shandong Gold confirms its interest in investing in Chaarat
Following consultations with stakeholders, including strategic investors and shareholders, the Board has resolved that, given prevailing market conditions, preparing a definitive feasibility study (DFS), making progress on obtaining the related permits, progressing infrastructure and continuing our discussions with strategic partners are now the best ways to add value to the Chaarat Gold Project.
The completion of a robust DFS will substantiate the value and potential of the Chaarat deposit and will provide the Board with a stronger negotiating position with potential strategic investors, who have already approached Chaarat, as well as increasing the options available for adding value to benefit all shareholders.
A programme of approximately 15,000 metres of infill drilling will be designed and executed during the 2013 season, with data collection for the DFS taking place at the same time, both of which are expected to be completed by the end of this year.
The Company has and will continue to comply with all terms of the Licencing Agreements on the Chaarat deposit with the government.
The Board does not need to raise funds to complete a DFS. The removal of the previously stated requirement to raise working capital of $20 million was a further persuasive factor in the Board's decision to pursue the DFS route. The option of taking debt has become punitively expensive for a company such as Chaarat and our major shareholders have made it clear that they do not want the introduction of a layer of debt between equity and the "gold in the ground". The dilutive effect of raising equity would be very unattractive to potential strategic investors and our shareholders. Cash reserves of approximately $24 million are available to fund the revised strategy.
As announced on 8th May, Mac DeGuire, one of the industry's most respected names, has joined the Board as a non-executive director. Mac will advise the Board and assist the management team, led by Chief Operating Officer David McNee, in ensuring a DFS is prepared and completed on schedule and to the highest standards.
Mac has considerable experience in preparing feasibility studies, overseeing construction and bringing projects into production; including in the Central Asia region where he was responsible for the design and construction of the 14 million tonnes per annum Zarafshan gold heap leach project in Uzbekistan.
Dekel Golan, CEO of Chaarat, comments: "The Board has listened to our key stakeholders and taken note of market conditions to adapt the Company's strategy accordingly. We believe that now is not the time to commit cash flow to small scale production and that fast-tracking a definitive feasibility study, together with a continued focus on the development of infrastructure, is the optimal route to deliver the value of the Chaarat deposit. This will also further strengthen our hand in the negotiation of strategic alliances.
The Pre-feasibility Study published in 2011 demonstrated that the Chaarat deposit is capable of supporting a significant gold production base, in excess of 200,000 ounces of gold per year, at a cash cost of production below $600 per ounce. The study also identified areas which could be improved with further work.
At that time we decided to implement a staged development strategy leading to production, in preference to immediately commissioning a feasibility study. Market sentiment and conditions have led us to refocus our strategy back to the completion of a feasibility study which will remove the threat to shareholders of dilution and demonstrate even more clearly the strong investment credentials of the Chaarat Project.
The Company is fully funded for this next stage in its development and I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support."
Further information
DFS
The Company will conduct an aggressive infill drilling campaign to increase resource and convert inferred resource to the measured and indicated categories. Particular focus will be given to increasing the open pittable resource to support a large scale mining operation which will operate for the initial few years of the mine life.
In parallel work during the season will be carried out to bring the level of knowledge to the standard required for the DFS in the following areas:
· Design and permitting of a mine waste disposal site
· In depth geotechnical investigations to derive appropriate design parameters for both open pit and underground mine design to feasibility study level
· Metallurgical test work programme to derive appropriate parameters for process plant design and estimates of metallurgical recovery for mine optimisation and economic analyses
· Additional hydrogeological work
· Design of the Tailings Management Facility
· Completion of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) study to meet both local and IFC standards. The supervision and support for this work was commissioned from AMEC in 2012 and will be expanded to meet the broader requirements of the DFS.
The investigation work outlined above will begin this month with the award of the DFS contract expected in the third quarter of 2013. A timetable will be agreed for completion of the DFS with the successful contractor and the market will be updated on progress.
Acceleration of infrastructure development
Work will continue on improving infrastructure as follows:
· Completion of permitting of the power line connection to the grid including the conduct of the relevant ESIA study
· Securing of land allocation
· Signing a supply contract with the national electricity company based on the previous quota allocation agreement of 25 MW
· Completion of the design, permitting and land allocation of the new section of the access road which will greatly improve access to site
· Permitting and preparing the permanent camp site
Negotiations with Shandong Gold
As reported on 12th March 2013, recommencement of negotiations is due to begin with the recently installed management team at Shandong Gold Mineral Resources Group Co., Ltd., who have been visiting a company in which they already have a strategic investment.
A site visit to Chaarat is to be arranged for later this summer.

Numis: Chaarat Gold (Buy, TP: 30) De-risking the Golden Elephant
Last week we visited Charaat’s gold project in Kyrgyzstan. We were impressed both by the results achieved to date and the scale and geological potential of this attractive 5.7Moz project. The project is not without its challenges to mining, processing and infrastructure but we believe sound geology will ultimately carry the project through. It will be all eyes to results of the DFS over the coming year on how the project will ultimately shape up, but in the meantime we have made some gross assumptions to value the project. Despite these changes, our TP remains 30p and we maintain our BUY recommendation. Our takeout target price is 55-75p, assuming a strategic partner comes in. The stock continues to trade at a cheap 0.2x NAV and an EV/Resource of $1/oz.
Potential outweighs challenges. We believe the Chaarat project has the potential to be a +10Moz deposit, with the current resource only defined over 6km of the total over the total 40km strike. The project hosts decent grades of 3-4g/t over healthy mineable widths up to 20m, and relatively simple and consistent geology. However, the key question now is what is the most economically and environmentally suitable means of extraction, given its topographically challenging location with a seasonally harsh climate, limited infrastructure and steeply dipping, predominantly refractory ore. This should be answered by the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and, in our view, the team, set-up and finances are in place to get it done.
Model changes. We have made some changes to our model, based on some gross and conservative assumptions, which are likely to change with the results of the DFS. We have assumed a 200kozpa operation with a cash cost of $550-600/oz, starting in 2017. We have reduced our risk-weighting to 0.75x NAV as we see development of the project relatively binary, contingent on securing a strategic partner.
Strategic partner likely. Given the scale of this potential +200kozpa project and related financing requirements, a strategic partner seems the likely solution to develop it, in our view. We believe the project to be attractive, given its world class size, economic potential and close proximity to China. We believe the completion of a DFS will make the project more robust and likely to put Chaarat in a stronger bargaining position with Shandong and other potential strategic investors

POSITIVE DRILLING RESULTS AT THE CHAARAT GOLD PROJECT
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (23rd September 2013)
Chaarat (AIM - CGH), the AIM quoted exploration and development company with assets in the Kyrgyz Republic, is pleased to provide an update on the in-fill drilling programme in the Main Zone of the Chaarat Gold Project.
In recent months, the Company has been drilling a number of test holes as part of the data collection process for the Definitive Feasibility Study. The latest results have now been analysed. The Board is delighted to report that the grades of the samples recovered are higher than previously anticipated.
Highlights
· Positive in-fill drill results including:
· Section 3160: CCH13M30116: 60 metres of 4.11 g/t Au
· Section 3040: CCH13M30117: 25.50 metres of 5.57 g/t Au
· Section 2560: CCH13M24149: 16.50 meters of 5.02 g/t Au
· Substantial potential to significantly increase the open pit potential and reduce the upfront project cost.
Dekel Golan, CEO of Chaarat, commented:
"The results reported today continue to demonstrate why Chaarat is one of the best undeveloped gold deposits in the world. With the uncertainty surrounding the gold price and costs of production, a high grade near surface open pit operation is the best way to ensure the viability of a mining project."

General description of the Main Zone
The Main Zone is one of three zones of mineralisation within the Chaarat Gold Project, the others being the Contact and Tulkubash Zones. The Main Zone strikes parallel to the other two zones and extends discontinuously over 10 kilometres from M2400 in the southwest to the Ishakuldy areas in the northeast. The mineralised zones dip at 65-80 degrees to the NW.
Data collection for the Definitive Feasibility study (DFS) has included a 10,000 metre in-fill and step-out exploration drilling programme. The objective of the drilling programme is to extend the shallow high grade-open pit-partially heap leachable reserve base of the Project. Increasing production from this portion of the deposit will significantly improve the Project cash flow as capital expenditure on the costly oxidation unit can be delayed.
Positive results to date have been obtained in the Main Zone where the Company has delineated a mineralization strike of 2.5 km, which includes some outstanding gold intervals. The results from of all drill holes as well as a map of the Main Zone are available at www.chaarat.com.
The mine design is in progress and indications are that this portion of the deposit will support increased lower cost early stage production than originally envisaged when the Pre-Feasibility Study was prepared in 2011. This will contribute considerably to the objective value of the deposit. If the deposit can sustain initial production without the need to use oxidation, the early stage cost of production, as well as the initial capital cost, will be significantly reduced. The impact of these parameters on project value will considerably improve the project's value.
Drilling in the Main Zone
A total of 143 holes have been drilled in the Main Zone along the 2.5 km strike, of which 29 were drilled in 2013, and 23 more are planned to be drilled before the end of the season.
Geology of the Main Zone
Mineralisation in the Main Zone is hosted in a 10-15 metre wide shear zone as an anatomising strike slip fault system; within the Ordovician age Chaarat formation (siltstones and sandstones). The gold mineralization is associated with sulphides, sericitic alteration and minor quartz veinlets.
Further update
Chaarat will provide a further update on the Definitive Feasibility Study in its half year results statement to 30 June 2013 which will be released shortly.

About Chaarat Gold
Chaarat Gold is an exploration and development company operating in the Kyrgyz Republic. Situated in the highly prospective Tien Shan gold belt, a JORC compliant resource of 5.76Moz at a grade of 4.03g/t has been delineated at the Chaarat Gold Project. The Company's key objective is to become a low cost gold producer targeting annual production of 200,000 ounces from the development of the Chaarat Gold Project.
Chaarat has several other promising prospects also located within the Kyrgyz Republic. An exploration programme is underway at the Company's Chontash project, located in the Akshirak range of mountains. A mining licence has been obtained for the Mironovskoye asset.

POSITIVE DRILLING RESULTS AT THE CHAARAT GOLD PROJECT
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (23rd September 2013)
Chaarat (AIM - CGH), the AIM quoted exploration and development company with assets in the Kyrgyz Republic, is pleased to provide an update on the in-fill drilling programme in the Main Zone of the Chaarat Gold Project.
In recent months, the Company has been drilling a number of test holes as part of the data collection process for the Definitive Feasibility Study. The latest results have now been analysed. The Board is delighted to report that the grades of the samples recovered are higher than previously anticipated.
Highlights
· Positive in-fill drill results including:
· Section 3160: CCH13M30116: 60 metres of 4.11 g/t Au
· Section 3040: CCH13M30117: 25.50 metres of 5.57 g/t Au
· Section 2560: CCH13M24149: 16.50 meters of 5.02 g/t Au
· Substantial potential to significantly increase the open pit potential and reduce the upfront project cost.
Dekel Golan, CEO of Chaarat, commented:
"The results reported today continue to demonstrate why Chaarat is one of the best undeveloped gold deposits in the world. With the uncertainty surrounding the gold price and costs of production, a high grade near surface open pit operation is the best way to ensure the viability of a mining project."

General description of the Main Zone
The Main Zone is one of three zones of mineralisation within the Chaarat Gold Project, the others being the Contact and Tulkubash Zones. The Main Zone strikes parallel to the other two zones and extends discontinuously over 10 kilometres from M2400 in the southwest to the Ishakuldy areas in the northeast. The mineralised zones dip at 65-80 degrees to the NW.
Data collection for the Definitive Feasibility study (DFS) has included a 10,000 metre in-fill and step-out exploration drilling programme. The objective of the drilling programme is to extend the shallow high grade-open pit-partially heap leachable reserve base of the Project. Increasing production from this portion of the deposit will significantly improve the Project cash flow as capital expenditure on the costly oxidation unit can be delayed.
Positive results to date have been obtained in the Main Zone where the Company has delineated a mineralization strike of 2.5 km, which includes some outstanding gold intervals. The results from of all drill holes as well as a map of the Main Zone are available at www.chaarat.com.
The mine design is in progress and indications are that this portion of the deposit will support increased lower cost early stage production than originally envisaged when the Pre-Feasibility Study was prepared in 2011. This will contribute considerably to the objective value of the deposit. If the deposit can sustain initial production without the need to use oxidation, the early stage cost of production, as well as the initial capital cost, will be significantly reduced. The impact of these parameters on project value will considerably improve the project's value.
Drilling in the Main Zone
A total of 143 holes have been drilled in the Main Zone along the 2.5 km strike, of which 29 were drilled in 2013, and 23 more are planned to be drilled before the end of the season.
Geology of the Main Zone
Mineralisation in the Main Zone is hosted in a 10-15 metre wide shear zone as an anatomising strike slip fault system; within the Ordovician age Chaarat formation (siltstones and sandstones). The gold mineralization is associated with sulphides, sericitic alteration and minor quartz veinlets.
Further update
Chaarat will provide a further update on the Definitive Feasibility Study in its half year results statement to 30 June 2013 which will be released shortly.
Appendix 1: The table below includes the results from holes drilled and assayed (only gold grades are included).

Chaarat Gold selects DFS contractors for Kyrgyz Republic project - MT - Mar 28, 2014
www.mining-technology.com/news/newschaarat-gold-selects-dfs-…
"Exploration and development firm Chaarat Gold has selected the contractors to complete all components of its definitive feasibility study (DFS) for the Chaarat project in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Gustavson Associates will serve as project managers for the DFS and will prepare the geology, mineral resource and mine design sections.
The company will also undertake the open pit and underground mine planning.
Resource Development will serve as metallurgical consultants, while Golder Associates (UK) will provide the geotechnical, hydrological and environmental studies for the project.
GBM Minerals Engineering Consultants will undertake the process and infrastructure engineering for the project as well as the study on logistics.
The DFS is due for completion by the end of 2014 and the drilling programme at the site in 2013 will be used to complete a new resource and reserve model designed to upgrade the JORC resource from inferred to the indicated and measured categories.
Chaarat Gold chief executive officer Dekel Golan said the company is looking forward to finalising the Chaarat DFS, moving towards permitting, construction and starting the building of a major gold mine in central Asia.
"The new team members will be visiting site as soon as it opens at the end of April," Golan said. "We will keep the market updated as work on the DFS progresses."
"I am pleased that a number of projects in the Kyrgyz Republic have shown progress in recent weeks, as a sign of confidence in the country, following the positive progress made in the resolution of differences between the Kyrgyz Government and Centerra concerning the Kumtor mine."
Chaarat Gold said its key objective is to become a low-cost gold producer targeting annual production of 200,000oz from the Chaarat gold project development.
The company has various other prospects also located within the Kyrgyz Republic. "

Updated resource calculation for the Chaarat Gold Project
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (1st April 2014)
Highlights
· Total Measured and Indicated JORC resource increased by 20% to 3.59 million ounces at a grade of 3.3 g/t (@ 2g/t cut off)
· Measured and Indicated resource of the mostly oxide open pittable Tulkubash Zone increased 95% to 639,171 ounces @ 2g/t (@ 1g/t cut off)
· Total resource (Measured, Indicated and Inferred) decreased by 8.1% from 5.76 Moz to 5.29 Moz due to more restrictive delineation of Inferred category resource*
Chaarat undertook an infill drilling programme in the 2013 season in order to increase the potential reserves to be delineated as part of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).
Drilling in the shallower, more weathered and therefore more oxidized layer of the deposit was designed to increase the Measured and Indicated resource which will be mined by the open pit method. More material was delineated in the near surface oxide open pittable sections but at a slightly lower grade than the deeper material. The grade of the predominantly underground non-oxide material section of the deposit has been reduced from 4.03 g/t to 3.36 g/t using a 2 g/t cut-off grade. The grade of the shallow oxide and open pittable section of the deposit is currently 1.97 g/t using 1 g/t cut off. The change of grade was also a result of the more conservative approach adopted in the construction of the solid model.
As a result of the additional drilling a larger part of the resource can be categorised as Measured and Indicated. At the same time stricter criteria for inclusion of material in the Inferred category reduced the proportion of Inferred resource from 48% to 27% of the total resource.
It has become apparent that different mining methods will be used to mine the resource so presenting the resource at a single cut-off grade could be misleading. In accordance with current best practice the resource information has therefore been presented at a range of cut off grades.
Chaarat and its advisers believe that it would be prudent to use a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t for areas of the deposit amenable to bulk underground mining techniques, based on a gold price of $1,250, and industry average bulk underground mining and mill processing costs.
A cut-off grade of 1 g/t for the open-pit, oxide portions of the deposit, due to lower average mining and processing costs, is considered reasonable.
Portions of the deposit where lower productivity underground mining techniques would be used are likely to have higher cut-off grades. A more complete analysis of cut-off grades, costs and recoveries will be undertaken as part of the DFS. The resource model is the basis for the mine design which is currently being prepared by Gustavson.
Dekel Golan CEO of Chaarat commented: "Increasing the Measured & Indicated resource, which is the basis for the mine reserve calculation, by 20% to almost 3.6 million ounces is an outstanding achievement for our team. We are encouraged that the significant amount of oxide material now delineated may reduce costs of initial production.
It is worth noting that the average grade of large discoveries today is 0.89g/t and the average grade of producing mines is 1.18g/t, significantly lower than that of Chaarat1. This is perhaps the key strength of Chaarat - the potential, once in production, to continue to operate profitably even at a low gold price."
[1] Source: Natural Resource Holdings Global 2013 Gold Mines & Deposit Rankings - Visual Capitalist
* Based on the considerations above, Chaarat has previously reported its resource using a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t for the predominantly open pit oxide resource and 2.0 g/t for the mainly underground sulphide material.
For the sake of clarity we have continued to use the same parameters.

A more complete analysis of cut-off grades, costs and recoveries will be undertaken as part of the DFS. The resource model is the basis for the mine design which is currently being prepared by Gustavson.
Dekel Golan CEO of Chaarat commented: "Increasing the Measured & Indicated resource, which is the basis for the mine reserve calculation, by 20% to almost 3.6 million ounces is an outstanding achievement for our team. We are encouraged that the significant amount of oxide material now delineated may reduce costs of initial production.
It is worth noting that the average grade of large discoveries today is 0.89g/t and the average grade of producing mines is 1.18g/t, significantly lower than that of Chaarat1. This is perhaps the key strength of Chaarat - the potential, once in production, to continue to operate profitably even at a low gold price."

* Based on the considerations above, Chaarat has previously reported its resource using a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t for the predominantly open pit oxide resource and 2.0 g/t for the mainly underground sulphide material.
For the sake of clarity we have continued to use the same parameters.

Update on Definitive Feasibility Study
Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (18th June 2014)
Chaarat (AIM - CGH), the AIM quoted exploration and development company with assets in the Kyrgyz Republic, is pleased to provide a further progress update on the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for the Chaarat Project ("the Project").
Highlights
· Projected production expected to be increased significantly to at least 250,000 ounces of gold per annum - a level appropriate to the size of the Chaarat deposit
· Two stage option to implement the Project identified which would enable production to commence with a lower up-front capital cost
· Heap leach operation estimated to generate circa 120,000 ounces of gold per year
· Production rate from sulphide ore yet to be determined but likely to be higher than the heap leach level of production
· Layout of whole Project revised to improve efficiency, reduce possible environmental impact and eliminate access issues
· Small amount of additional drilling underway to support the implementation strategy and secure more geotechnical information
· Cheaper processing option for refractory ore under investigation
· Timing for completion of DFS revised to early 2015, reflecting the assessment of the enlarged heap leach opportunity
As announced in March 2014, the team of DFS consultants visited the Chaarat site when it opened at the end of April. Their findings have now been evaluated. The first stage of the work involved studying various alternatives and options to conclude on an optimal scope for the development of the Chaarat Project. The DFS will then be prepared in accordance with the agreed scope.
Strategic development of the deposit
The optimal strategic development of the deposit has been identified as two production lines which share elements of the infrastructure, but are economically feasible as standalone Projects. The decision whether to implement the two lines sequentially or in parallel will be based on the likely financing options available to the Company, for example, whether Chaarat will self-develop the deposit or whether it will be developed by a JV with a large operating partner or a strategic investor.
The Chaarat deposit hosts two types of ore which can be treated by different processes. One zone (the Tulkubash Project) is predominantly low sulphur and amenable for heap leaching. The other part of the deposit is more refractory and requires oxidation before gold can be leached out of the ore.
The involvement and provision of financing from a joint venture partner or strategic investor should enable both stages of the process to be undertaken at once. If this involvement does not materialise, the processes can be undertaken sequentially, dependent on the availability of finance to Chaarat.
The DFS will evaluate the heap leach and refractory options as separate standalone Projects.
Layout of the Project
The Chaarat deposit is located in a narrow valley which could inhibit the expansion of the Project once in production. As part of the DFS, the consultants reviewed other options for the location of the processing plant and associated infrastructure. A trade off study has concluded that there are considerable economic, environmental and operational benefits to locating the production facility in an adjacent valley.
In order to connect the plant to the mine site a 10km tunnel will need to be constructed through the mountain. The preliminary results of the trade off study have demonstrated that the reduction in haulage and other operating costs will significantly outweigh the capital cost of the tunnel, while also delivering major environmental benefits. Further work is now underway to finalise the design and costs of the tunnel construction.
Scale considerations
A staged development will mean that the heap leach option, which requires significantly less capital investment and is less complex to operate, will be built initially. The indicative capital cost of the tunnel and power line necessary to take the first stage heap leach Project into production will have an impact on the economics of this Project on a standalone basis, but the anticipated increased level of production to 120,000 ounces of gold per annum should support the attractive return on this investment. Conversely, the economics of the second larger refractory Project will benefit very considerably from the capital expenditure carried by the heap leach Project.
Heap leach operational scale
The main feed of ore for the heap leach operation is from the Tulkubash zone. A preliminary mine design of the Tulkubash pit has indicated the economic benefits of processing not only the material grading above 1 g/t cut-off but also the lower grade material situated inside the pit envelope. This early plan shows reserves included in the initial pit will be about 17 million tonnes of ore at a grade of 0.93 g/t being 523,000 ounces of heap leachable reserves. The strip ratio is currently estimated at about 2:1. The low strip ratio, with the consequent reduction in the mining costs of diesel and labour (which are in any case relatively low in the Kyrgyz Republic), will increase the returns generated from the heap leach operation. It has therefore been decided that the heap leach operation will be designed to process 5 million tonnes per annum or 15,000 tonnes per day and produce approximately 120,000 ounces of gold per annum.
As this revised production level is significantly higher than previously expected, additional drilling of about 4-5,000 metres is required to support a sustainable standalone heap leach operation. This drilling has commenced and is expected to be concluded in September. The mineralised zone very clearly extends towards the north which gives us confidence that the required resource can be added.
Scale of the refractory operation
The mine design of both the refractory open pit and underground operation is also in progress. The optimal scale of the operation can only be determined once the mine design is complete. However, the results of the DFS to date indicate that the scale of the Project can be significantly larger than the originally anticipated production of 200,000 ounces per year included in the Prefeasibility Study prepared in 2011. The heap leach Project alone is being designed for 5 million tonnes of ore annually or production of about 120,000 ounces of gold per year. The refractory operation (which will be fed from both the open pit and underground) can support a greater production profile.
Process update
We initially considered that the refractory ore, due to its sulphur content, would need to be processed by oxidation which would probably take the form of flotation followed by pressure oxidation. The capital cost of this process is significant.
Initial work on bio-oxidation of the crushed refractory ore has shown promising results by using a simpler process of heap bio-oxidation followed by heap leaching. The results were achieved following a short oxidation period by a generic culture. More work has been commissioned to develop a tailor made culture and to run larger scale tests. If this process proves to be suitable there will be considerable positive effects on the economics of the Project, by the reduction of both capital and operating costs.
Timing
The results to date of the DFS have exciting implications for the economics of the Project. However in order to complete the work and analyse the results we now expect to complete the DFS in early 2015. The Board firmly believes that the additional work will add value to the Chaarat Project by increasing production, reducing operating costs and reducing the environmental impact.
The Board has carefully reviewed the revised budget and cash flow for the group and is taking measures to source additional funding from the sale of equipment (originally purchased for small scale production so not immediately needed following the revision to the strategy) and other exploration assets to cover the impact of the additional work and enlargement of scope of the DFS. Some equipment has already been sold and further advanced negotiations are in progress. In addition, we have already received expressions of interest in acquiring some of our exploration assets.
Dekel Golan CEO of Chaarat commented: "As the Project starts to take shape we are all excited by the emerging initial results. The purpose of the study is not merely to develop a "spreadsheet" Project but to demonstrate how project risk can be mitigated and the Project as a whole simplified and made more robust.
The decision to build a tunnel removes almost entirely issues of access to site and concerns about environmental protection in a restricted location; considerations which more than outweigh the increase in upfront costs and the delay to production caused by the construction of the tunnel. Having a heap leach operation that, in itself, underpins the economics of all the development- whether or not a second stage is built - is another major positive.
A projected production capacity of 250,000 ounces per annum confirms Chaarat's potential as a top gold producer, and the two stage option delivers flexibility, while not compromising overall returns.
We continue to be of the belief that Chaarat is one of the largest and best undeveloped Projects in the world and the uncompromising objectives of the DFS are to demonstrate both the economic merit of the Project as well as to chart a clear route for its development. On this basis the increased scope of the DFS and additional data collection now underway is more than justified.
Updates will be issued once we have further results to report. I will be giving a presentation at the Proactive Investors event on 26 June and in the meantime the Annual Report will reflect on our progress to date."
