Proposed cancellation of admission to trading on AIM
Central African Gold Plc, the AIM quoted gold mining and exploration company,
today announces that, following completion of the comprehensive strategic
review, previously announced on 15 July 2010, it is the intention of the board
of directors of CAG ('the Board') to seek shareholder approval to cancel
admission of the Company's ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each to trading on AIM
and to re-register as a private limited company (together, 'the Proposals').
The Board has considered the ongoing costs, management time and regulatory and
reporting requirements of maintaining its admission to AIM and believes that
these costs and requirements can no longer be justified, particularly in light
of the current liquidity and market capitalisation of the Company, as well
as CAG's new ownership structure (whereby NDM (UK) Limited ('NDM UK'), a wholly
owned subsidiary of New Dawn Mining Corp. ('NDM'), a Toronto Stock Exchange gold
exploration and production company, holds 88.68 per cent. of the Company's
issued share capital).
Accordingly, a circular ('the Circular') and notice of general meeting ('the
GM') will be sent to shareholders, requesting that shareholders approve the
Proposals, at the GM, later this quarter.
NDM UK has indicated to the Board that it will vote in favour of the Proposals
at the GM. Accordingly, the Board anticipates that the Proposals will be
approved at the GM, as the requisite approval threshold is 75 per cent. of votes
cast by shareholders at the GM.
Further details on the precise structure of the Proposals and on the
implications for shareholders of the Proposals becoming effective will be
announced in due course and will be included in the Circular to be sent to
shareholders later this quarter.

Notes to Editors
CAG
Central African Gold Plc is a gold mining company with a portfolio of
production, development and exploration assets in Zimbabwe, where the Company
operates through two subsidiaries, Falcon Gold Zimbabwe Limited (84.7 per cent.
owned) and Olympus Gold Mines Limited (100 per cent. owned). Through these
subsidiaries, CAG has five main gold mines, the Dalny, Old Nic, Golden Quarry,
Venice and Camperdown mines, which are located in the highly prospective Kadoma,
Shurugwi and Bulawayo gold regions in Zimbabwe.
NDM
The Company's 88.68 per cent. shareholder is NDM UK, a wholly owned subsidiary
of NDM, a gold company with a broad portfolio of production and exploration
assets, also in Zimbabwe. NDM owns and operates the Turk and Angelus Mines in
the upper southwest area of Zimbabwe, which it believes have the potential to
produce an estimated 35,000 to 50,000 ounces of gold per annum. It is NDM's
objective to orchestrate the development of CAG's mining operations and
exploration portfolio, as well as its own, to become a mid-tier gold producer
focussed in Zimbabwe, with a consolidated annualised gold production to between
50,000 and 60,000 ounces within the next 18 to 24 months, increasing to 100,000
ounces within four to five years.
