Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited

("Chaarat" or the "Company")

Option grant and equity issue

 
  Chaarat (AIM:CGH), the AIM-quoted gold mining company with 
   an operating mine in Armenia, and assets at various stages 
   of development in the Kyrgyz Republic, announces that Mike 
   Fraser, who joined Chaarat's board on 17 January 2022 as the 
   Company's Chief Executive Officer, has been granted options 
   over five million ordinary shares (the "Options") of US$0.01 
   each in the Company under the Chaarat Gold Holdings Limited 
   Management Incentive Plan 2019 (the "MIP"). The Options are 
   exercisable at a price of GBP0.42 per share between 18 January 
   2022 and 18 January 2027 subject to the rules of the MIP. The 
   Company has also agreed to pay to Mr Fraser a sign-on bonus 
   of US$62,500 payable through the issue of 255,935 ordinary 
   shares of US$0.01 each in the capital of the Company (the "New 
   Ordinary Shares"). Mr Fraser has no other interests in the 
   share capital of the Company. 
   An application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for 
   the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, and 
   it is expected that admission will become effective at or around 
   8:00am (London time) on 24 January 2022. 
   Following admission of the New Ordinary Shares the Company's 
   enlarged issued share capital will comprise 689,668,088 ordinary 
   shares of US$0.01 each. This figure may be used by shareholders 
   of the Company 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 Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance 
   and Transparency Rules Sourcebook.
