CENTRAL ASIA GOLD AB (PUBL) PUBLISHES UPDATED PRODUCTION FORECASTS


Central Asia Gold AB´s (publ) ("CAG" or "the Company") gold production during
the current fiscal year is progressing according to plan and the objective of
increasing the production by 50 percent to approximately 1 000 kg remains.
Today, The Board makes the assessment that the Company may produce 2 000 kg in
2011, based on further production increases secured by the forthcoming rights
issue. 

The gold production from CAG´s existing deposits is progressing according to
plan. To date, CAG has produced approximately 200 kg of gold and the Company's
previously announced production forecast of 1 000 kg of gold for the full year
remains. Based on the results thus far, the Board makes the assessment that the
Company will reach a positive operating cash flow during the fiscal year 2010. 

Furthermore, the Company has been able to secure funding from several Russian
banks which has enabled CAG to start construction and updates of the heap
leaching plants in Tardan and Solcocon earlier than planned. Altogether, the
Board estimates that the CAG, based on the above mentioned reasons and the 100
percent guaranteed rights issue, has the potential to increase the current
year´s forecasted production of 1 000 kg to 2 000 kg in 2011. 

Comments from the main shareholder and CEO of CAG Preston Haskell:
"It is extremely gratifying that our hard work has started to pay off and that
the everything now is starting to fall into place. With the 100 percent
guaranteed rights issue and based on the good results we have seen so far, I am
convinced that we are heading towards a very bright future."
