    Guys,

    Something going on with this one. Check chart and cut and paste below.
    Lot of questions re dilution and management re your comments above but seems to me either these guys are going to get in a lot of trouble putting out numbers like below or this thing is way undervalued.
    Take NOTE of 1st shipment date.

    Watching very closely indeed.

    CHARTERS TOWERS GOLD MINES LIMITED 2003-02-10 ASX-SIGNAL-G

    HOMEX - Sydney

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++
    The Premier of Queensland, the Honourable Peter Beattie announced
    today from Dubai the opening of an office by Charters Towers Gold
    Mines in Dubai, the City of Gold. This is the first gold
    representative office by an Australian company and a world first for
    a gold mining company to open at the prestigious Gold & Diamond Park
    of Emaar Properties PJSC, an expanding free trade zone in the
    Emirate. This office authorizes Charters Towers to sell gold in
    Dubai.

    The Premier, Peter Beattie, commented while leading more than 30
    business leaders on a 10-day trade and investment mission to India,
    the Middle East and Singapore that -

    "This is the start of a long-term relationship between the Queensland
    Government and Charters Towers Gold to provide more high grade
    Queensland gold to the world market."

    Charters Towers Gold has also worked very closely with Austrade and
    the Australian Consul office on this initiative.

    This announcement coincides with Dubai's recent publicity about the
    establishment of new leading technology gold refineries and plans to
    increase its already large share of the world gold trade. Mr Mark
    Lynch, the Managing Director of CTGM commented that:


    "The purpose of the office is to enable Charters Towers to move
    closer to the customer when we commence shipping gold from our
    flagship Charters Towers Gold mine later this year. It is part of an
    innovative and integrated plan to build the 'Charters Towers' brand."

    "The gold can be in two forms, refined gold bars as required or in
    gold dore to be refined in Dubai."

    "Gold mining companies are being encouraged by industry associations
    to get closer to the consumer and that is what we are doing. Charters
    Towers wants to work with major gold and jewellery interests in Dubai
    to see that more Australian gold goes direct to Dubai."

    "Over the last 12 months CTGM has studied and considered the world
    'gold centres' seeking a place to establish the 'Charters Towers'
    brand. We concluded that the common financial gold centres -London,
    Zurich, New York - had little appeal because their gold buying and
    selling was essentially invisible. In Dubai and adjacent areas,
    including India, gold is bought and sold openly in thousands of shops
    by people who love and trust our product, the yellow metal."

    Dubai is one of the world's great physical trading regions, handling
    about 10% of the gold traded each year and plans to make it the
    world's No. 1 gold trading center.

    Dubai is a fast-rising commercial and financial center in the Middle
    East, a marketplace of about 300 million people. Australia, producing
    about 300 tonnes of gold per year, is the world's third largest
    producer behind South Africa and the USA. CTGM believes Australia has
    the potential in the coming years to get the No 2 spot.

    Mr Mark Lynch further stated:-

    "We want to be part of this dynamic and expanding marketplace and
    form a trade and investment alliance with a marketplace that
    understands the gold business"

    "This understanding could lead to the gradual broadening of our share
    register. We are considering an overseas stock exchange listing to
    give the company a broader capital base to facilitate the roll-out of
    the Gold Production Plan."

    "The Gold Production Plan targets gold production of 250,000 ounces
    per year based around the goldfields identified gold resource
    potential of 15 million ounces."

    Charters Towers Gold is a dynamic growing company developing a major,
    high grade mining project on Australia's richest major goldfield. The
    Charters Towers goldfield is located about 1,000 kilometres north of
    Queensland's capital, Brisbane.

    Charters Towers Gold Mines, a public listed company since 1993,
    trades on the Australian Stock Exchange (code 'CTO').
