Fatal Incident at Kapan Mine
Chaarat Gold (AIM: CGH) regrets to report the loss of life to an
employee of its mining contracting company yesterday, 4(th) March

"We truly regret this tragic loss of life, and we offer our
sincere condolences to the family of the deceased. The safety of
everyone that works at our operations is a core value for Chaarat.
We are working through an internal and external investigation and

from recurring, and we will continue to implement new initiatives
to further protect the health and safety of our employees,
