Central African Gold Plc, the AIM traded gold mining and exploration company, is
pleased to announce the appointment of Charles Prentice, 52, to the Board of
Directors and as the Company's Chief Financial Officer with immediate effect.


Charles Marcus Wickham Prentice, CA (SA), ACMA, MBA, has over 25 years of

was chief financial officer of AIM traded African Platinum plc, where he was

scoping study level to bankable feasibility in two years.  He then facilitated
the company's R4 billion sale to Impala Platinum Limited, one of the world's
premier platinum group metal producers.


Additionally Charles has held other financial directorships and positions for
various companies including Lesotho Diamond Limited, South African Breweries,
Tibbitt and Britten and Press Corporation Limited.


Greg Hunter, Chief Executive Officer of CAG, said, "Charles has extensive
experience working within the mining and exploration sector and is ideally
qualified to support the CAG board in the development of its gold production and
exploration assets. We have already built a solid portfolio to be proud of and
are rapidly advancing all our projects with the intention of building on our
resource base in Ghana, Mali, Zimbabwe and Botswana. However, to advance the
Company further, we understand the need to invest in high quality people, so we
are therefore delighted to welcome Charles to the team. He will provide valuable
assistance to CAG, particularly in view of his extensive financial knowledge and
the strong relationships he has built in the African resource sector."

for four years managing six underground greenstone gold mining operations and
building exploration portfolios.
