                            DONG MAO HUO GOLD MINE 
 
                 CONTRACT MINING DEAL SIGNED WITH CITIC-ANHUA 
 
LONDON - 5th May 2009 
 
Central China Goldfields plc (AIM: GGG) is pleased to announce that the Company 
has signed a contract mining agreement with Beijing based, CITIC Anhua's 
subsidiary Jiuquan Zhongan Mining Co. Ltd in respect of the Dong Mao Huo gold 
mine in Northern China. 
 
CITIC Anhua Group is the mining arm of the CITIC Group which is a large Chinese 
Government Investment Company. CITIC Anhua currently operates three gold mines 
and has several exploration properties in China. 
 
Key points of the Agreement are: 
 
  * CITIC Anhua will build a 500 tonnes per day mining and processing plant. 
 
  * Construction to start as soon as possible and mining to start by September 
    2009. 
 
  * CITIC Anhua will fund all the capital expenditure and operating costs. 
 
  * Central China Goldfields will receive a fixed RMB 1.5 million per annum 
    during the initial oxide phase of the mining. 
 
  * Central China Goldfields will then receive 30% of the net profits from the 
    key sulphide mining phase. 
 
  * In addition CITIC Anhua will pay Central China Goldfields plc RMB 250,000 
    per annum for the first six years to recover historic expenditures. 
 
Jeff Malaihollo, Managing Director of Central China Goldfields plc, comments: 
 
"We are pleased to welcome CITIC Anhua subsidiary Jiuquan Zhongan as our 
partner at the Dong Mao Huo gold project and we look forward to a long-lasting 
and profitable relationship. 
 
The contract will enable Central China Goldfields to quickly put this near 
surface gold project into production and will enable the company to recover its 
investment in the project whilst fully participating in the upside of the more 
important gold sulphide element of the project where the high grade gold pods 
are to be found. 
 
Dong Mau Huo is the first project which Central China has taken from 
exploration acquisition to the planned production phase and we believe this 
demonstrates that the company has the skills and staff necessary to manage the 
full exploration to production cycle and yet retain its exploration focus. 
 
Central China Goldfields will now focus the bulk of its human and technical 
resources on to its Nimu copper project situated in Western China. This project 
like Dong Mao Huo is being developed with the aim of bringing in a major joint 
venture mining partner at the appropriate time who would fund the projects 
substantial capital requirements."
