  Chaarat reports promising drilling results on the T0700 Project Area at 
                         the Chaarat Property



Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (11 April 2008).



Chaarat Gold Holdings Ltd ('Chaarat' or the 'Company') (AIM:CGH) is pleased to
announce further positive drilling results from preliminary prospecting work
undertaken during 2007 on the  T0700 Project Area on the Tulkubash Zone at its
100% held, 604 sq km Chaarat Licence Area in western Kyrgyzstan.



T0700 Project Area



The T0700 Project Area is situated on the Tulkubash Zone, the third and most
north westerly mineralised zone at Chaarat. The mineralised zone is delineated
by a four kilometre long gold in soil geochemical anomaly, of which only the
southernmost 500 metres of strike, in the T0700 Project Area, has been drilled
to date. All of the eight diamond drill holes drilled here in the 2007
preliminary drilling programme intersected mineralisation and the results are as
follows:

QA/QC PROCEDURES

Sampling Methodology and Quality Control



All samples are sent to a laboratory in Kyrgyzstan, the Central Scientific
Research Laboratory, JSC Kara Balta, (CSRL), accredited by the UK Accreditation
Service, for sample preparation and initial assays. All samples with gold above
1 g/ t are then submitted to Genalysis, Australia, a NATA ISO/IEC 17025
accredited laboratory for analysis by fire assay. Only results received from
Genalysis are included in the Mineral Resource database and the intercept
summaries in this press release.



The 2007 programme represents the first integrated drilling in an area of some
500 metres by 400 metres on the Tulkubash zone and was undertaken simultaneously
with a structural mapping survey in the same area. The work indicates that the
widespread mineralisation is controlled by the intersection of multiple folds in
the Tulkubash quartzites. Drilling in the coming year will add to the
understanding of the mineralisation controls and further probe the extensions to
this mineralisation on this four kilometres long zone.



Comments CEO, Dekel Golan 'We are very pleased with the results of the first
concerted drilling programme on the T0700 Project Area, as it opens up the third
mineralised zone at Chaarat. This is the eleventh project area that has been
drilled within the Chaarat gold district and we are confident that, as drilling
progresses along the four kilometre strike length of mineralisation in the
Tulkubash Zone, the results will augment those from the other ten more advanced
projects on the Main and Contact Zones.'



Competent Person



The Competent Person, with overall responsibility for this press release is Jed
Diner, P.Geo. M.Sc, who is Vice President  Exploration for Chaarat. Jed Diner is
an exploration geologist with 27 years experience in the resource industry and

About the Chaarat Gold Project



The Chaarat project is situated within the Middle Tien Shan Mountains of
Kyrgyzstan which form part of the Tien Shan gold belt. The gold mineralisation
in the district is hosted in sedimentary rocks and is structurally controlled.
At the completion of the 2006 exploration season, a Mineral Resource of 1.87Moz
Au (JORC compliant in the Indicated and Inferred categories) had been delineated
in eight project areas. The Company's exploration programme is aimed at
increasing the confidence levels in this resource through infill drilling, and
increasing the resource through down-dip and strike extension drilling. The
company has drilled eleven project areas in three mineralised zones, the
Contact, Main and Tulkubash Zones, within a six kilometre long area of strike. 
In addition, the Company intends to explore the remaining gold occurrences over
the 28 kilometre strike length within the Chaarat Licence Area.
