       ROCK SAMPLE RESULTS AT WEST GUQING AREA INDICATE FOURTH PORPHYRY 
                   COPPER CENTRE AT GANGJIANG LICENCE AREA 
 
LONDON - 20 May 2009 - Central China Goldfields plc (AIM: GGG) and 
its partner the Sichuan Bureau of Metallurgy and Geological Exploration are 
pleased to report sampling results at the West Guqing prospect on the 
Gangjiang exploration licence area, Nimu Copper-Molybdenum Project ("Nimu"). 
 
Highlights: 
 
  - Channel rock sampling results at West Guqing prospect confirm 
    continuous shallow porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralisation including 
    supergene copper oxide zones present in the area. Three of the sampling 
    sites returned continuous significant copper and molybdenum 
    mineralisation. These are: 
 
      - 12 metres @ 0.23% copper equivalent (0.22% Cu and 0.001% Mo) 
        at site GJT22 
      - 58 metres @ 0.35% copper equivalent (0.26% Cu and 0.010% Mo) 
        at site GJT29 
      - 80 metres @ 0.22% copper equivalent (0.14% Cu and 0.009% Mo) 
        at site GJT30 
 
  - West Guqing is now the fourth copper-molybdenum prospect at the 
    Gangjiang exploration licence area and reinforces the possibility that 
    mineralisation occurs as a continuous envelope around the 1.5 x 1 
    kilometre rhyodacite stock centred at Nading. 
 
Jeff Malaihollo, Managing Director of Central China Goldfields plc, 
comments: 
 
"Following the discoveries at the Guqing, East Nading and Gelong 
porphyry centres, we have now identified a fourth mineralised centre called 
West Guqing. 
 
Drilling in 2008 clearly demonstrated that the East Nading and 
Gelong centres are continuous and we have now identifed further mineralisation 
in trenches between East Nading and Guqing, between Guqing and West Guqing and 
to the west of Gelong. 
 
With this new and significant discovery, the presence of 
mineralisation has now been identified along at least 2.5 kilometres and 
strengthens the likelihood that the total 5 kilometres corridor surrounding 
the central rhyodacite stock in Nading may be mineralised." 
 
ACCESS ROAD CUT SAMPLING RESULTS: 
 
West Guqing prospect is located approximately 500 metres to the 
west of the Guqing prospect. It was first recognised in 2007 when trench GJT11 
was dug and returned 32 metres of 0.38% copper equivalent (0.16% Cu & 0.025% 
Mo). In 2008, a drill road access was constructed and exposed further 
copper-molybdenum ("Cu-Mo") mineralisation. 
 
Four sites along the access road at the West Guqing prospect area 
exposed mineralised outcrops and sub-outcrops of quartz monzonitic rocks with 
Cu and Cu-Mn stains. The road cuts were mapped and continuous 2 metres long 
rock chip samples were taken for analysis. The significant assay results of 3 
of the 4 sampling sites are outlined in the table below. Results of analysis 
for fourth site, GJT28, are still pending.

These sampling results confirmed continuous shallow porphyry Cu-Mo 
mineralisation at West Guqing prospect including supergene Cu oxide zones. 
West Guqing is the fourth prospect recognised in the Gangjiang exploration 
licence area and reinforces the possibility that Cu-Mo mineralisation occurs 
as a continuous envelope around the 1.5 x 1 kilometre rhyodacite stock centred 
at Nading. 
 
SAMPLING & ANALYTICAL DETAILS: 
 
Continuous channel rock samples were taken over two metre intervals 
on exposed outcrops and sub-outcrops using a chisel and hammer with a canvas 
sheet to catch all the broken rocks. Each sample weighed between 2 to 3 
kilograms. A duplicate sample was taken, as close as possible to the original 
sample site, after every 20th sample. 
 
The samples were processed and analysed by SGS-CSTC Standards 
Technical Services Co., Ltd in China. Sample preparation is done by the 
SGS-Xian branch office whilst chemical analysis is done by the SGS-CSTC office 
in Tianjin. Pulp samples were digested in aqua regia and analysed for thirty 
five elements by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy 
(ICP-OES). Routine international-standard QA/QC procedures were used by 
SGS-CSTC. Three elements are reported here: copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo) and 
silver (Ag). The detection limit for Cu is 3 parts per million (ppm), while 
for Mo and Ag, it is 1 ppm.
