RESULTS OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Central Rand Gold is pleased to announce that at the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting, held earlier today, the resolution to disapply pre-emption rights and authorise the Company to issue shares up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount equal to £207,196.44 (approximately 21.8 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company), pursuant to the conditional subscription for 20,719,644 ordinary shares (the "Second Subscription Shares"), and in addition to issue shares up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount equal to £520,779.29 (being approximately 40.0 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company) following the issue of the Second Subscription Shares, was duly passed without amendment as outlined below:

First Subscription Shares

The Company announced on 5 February 2016 that it had allotted 14,279,371 ordinary shares (the "First Subscription Shares") at an issue price of 3.5 pence per ordinary share and had raised gross proceeds of approximately £0.50 million. Admission of the First Subscription Shares became effective at 08:00 am (UK time) on 9 February 2016. The First Subscription Shares rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.

Following the issue of the First Subscription Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company increased to 109,475,179 ordinary shares.

Second Subscription Shares

Application has been for the Second Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and AltX ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. (UK time) on 9 March 2016 on AIM and at 9.00 a.m. (South African time) on 9 March 2016 on AltX.

Following Admission of the Second Subscription Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company will increase to 130,194,823 ordinary shares (the "Enlarged Issued Share Capital"). The Company does not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the total number of voting rights will be 130,194,823 ordinary shares. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules following Admission of the Second Subscription Shares anticipated on 9 March 2016.

Following Admission of the Second Subscription Shares, the following subscribers' notifiable holdings in the Enlarged Issued Share Capital will be:

Name No. of Ordinary Shares % of Enlarged Issued

Share Capital

Jiabang Wang 19,704,434 15.13%

Redstone Capital Limited

Following Admission of the Second Subscription Shares, the Redstone Capital Limited ("Redstone") concert party will be interested in 9.82 per cent. of the Company's Enlarged Issued Share Capital. The holdings of the Redstone concert party following Admission and on the assumption of the full conversion of Redstone Loan Notes and Redstone Warrants into ordinary shares will be as follows:
