30 January 2011 ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT 16 December 2014 Kazakhstan Operations Update

Central Asia Resources Limited (the Company) (ASX: CVR) is pleased to provide an update on its

Dalabai gold operation in Kazakhstan:

Gold production continued with 145 ounces of gold and 1,113 ounces of silver in

November

Discussions continue with Halyk Bank for second tranche of project finance

Gold Production

Gold production from Dalabai has continued with a shipment of resin sent off-site for desorbtion during November. The resulting gold and silver cathode production contains approximately 145 ounces of gold and 1,133 ounces of silver. The higher than usual silver to gold ratio reflects the higher silver values contained in the Central Pit, from which most of this production was sourced.

The value of the anticipated gold sale from this material is expected to be approximately

US$215,000.

Project Finance

Discussions continued with Halyk Bank regarding the re-draw facility from Tranche 1 funds and advancing the second tranche of funds, to maintain and escalate production at Dalabai. While discussions are ongoing with Halyk Bank and other potential lenders, the Dalabai gold operation will remain on hold.

AltynTas

The Company is working with its consultants to update the Altyn Tas resource to JORC 2012 compliance and will provide further information once this review is complete.
