               Central African Gold Plc ("CAG" or "the Company")

                       Suspends activities on Kola Permit



Central African Gold Plc ("CAG"), the AIM quoted gold producer and explorer,
following further due diligence has resolved to suspend activities relating to
the Kola Permit in Mali until further notice.



Following the announcement on 5 June 2007 that the Company had signed heads of
terms to develop the Kola Permit with Mande Mines SA, the current holder of the
Kola Permit, CAG has become aware of certain claims made by a third party
against Mande Mines SA.  Accordingly, CAG is not in a position to approve the
original heads of agreement, although the Company continues to work with Mande
Mines SA to try and find an alternative solution.



The Company is confident, having acted in good faith with the information
available at the time, that such claims are not, and can not be, directed
against CAG.  A further update will be released in due course.

Notes to Editors:

Central African Gold Plc, admitted to AIM in April 2004, was established to
acquire gold assets with a geographical focus on Africa. The Company has
established a sound portfolio with projects in Ghana, Mali, Zimbabwe and
Botswana. It has a highly experienced management team, which has worked together
for four years managing six underground greenstone gold mining operations and
building exploration portfolios.



CAG's portfolio includes the producing Bibiani gold mine and prospecting
licences in Ghana, which it acquired from AngloGold Ashanti Ltd, two joint
ventures in Mali covering 23 prospective permits and licences in Botswana
covering the extension of the Kraaipan greenstone belt from South Africa. CAG
recently acquired five mines and extensive exploration properties in Zimbabwe.
The directors are evaluating additional prospects in Africa to establish CAG as
a leading mid-tier African gold producer with world class exploration and
production assets.
