Suspension of Trading

LONDON, November 24, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

China Nonferrous Gold Limited 中国有色黄金有限公司

("CNG" or the "Company")

Financial Position

Suspension of Trading

China Nonferrous Gold Limited 中国有色黄金有限公司 (AIM: CNG), the mineral exploration and mining company currently mining the Pakrut gold project in the Republic of Tajikistan, announces that it has received notice from one of its creditors, CNMC Trade Company Limited ("CNMC Trade") that the loan it had provided to CNG of US$20m dated 12 July 2023 and which is due for renewal on 26 November 2023 ("The New Outstanding Loan"), will not be extended. Instead CNMC Trade has today demanded that CNG repay the New Outstanding Loan on time and without delay; and furthermore CNMC Trade has confirmed it does not intend to provide any extension to this timetable.

At today’s date CNG has a cash balance of US$3.68m and loans of US$315m, of which US$241.15m including this loan is provided by CNMC Trade and is due for repayment within the next 12 months. The Company therefore does not have sufficient cash available to pay the amounts requested nor do the directors believe CNG has the ability to source additional funds in the time frame set out by the demand.

This call for the New Outstanding Loan is in addition to the US$65m loan from CNMC Trade that was due for renewal on 7 September 2023 ("The First Outstanding Loan") but which by agreement between the parties is currently not being called for repayment, see announcement of that date.

In light of these circumstances, the Company’s ordinary shares have been suspended from trading on AIM with immediate effect pending clarification of its financial position.

Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.
