Central African Gold Plc / Ticker: CAN / Market: AIM / Sub-sector: Gold Mining 
 
 
25 June 2009 
Central African Gold Plc ('CAG' or 'the Company') 
 
 
Update re Preliminary Results / Annual Report and Accounts and temporary 
suspension of trading in the Company's shares 
 
 
CAG announces that it is regrettably unable to publish its preliminary results 
('the Preliminary Results') and annual audited accounts ('the Group Accounts'), 
for the year ended 31 December 2008, by 30 June 2009, for the reasons, inter 
alia, set out in this announcement. 
 
 
CAG is currently in discussions with KPMG Audit Plc ('KPMG'), CAG's auditor, 
with regard to two accounting issues relating to the consolidation of two 
entities into the Group Accounts, being: 
 
 
  *  a lack of complete accounting information for Central African Gold Ghana Limited 
  ('CAG Ghana'), control of which passed to Investec Bank Limited on 14 January 
  2009, as a result of Investec invoking its power of attorney under a charge and 
  transferring the 90,000 shares in CAG Ghana to Investec (as previously announced 
  on 14 January 2009); and 
 
 
 
  *  the correct accounting and foreign exchange treatment relating to the 
  consolidation of Falgold and Olympus given the cessation of the Zimbabwe dollar 
  as the working currency in Zimbabwe. 
 
 
 
CAG anticipates that these issues will be resolved within the next four weeks. 
 
 
Accordingly, the Company is not currently in a position to be able to comply 
with the requirements of AIM Rule 19. The Company has therefore requested that 
its shares be temporarily suspended from trading on AIM until the Preliminary 
Results are released and the Group Accounts are published. 
 
 
CAG will provide shareholders with a further update in due course.
