M&A increasingly important in Chaarat’s midtier miner strategy

Aim-quoted Chaarat, which is developing a namesake gold project in the Kyrgyz Republic, on Tuesday provided more detail about how it plans to become a midtier gold producer focusing on Central Asia and the former Soviet Union. In a corporate update, nonexecutive chairperson Martin Andersson said that its initial focus would remain on bringing the Chaarat project into production, but that the company would also pursue selective merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunities in the region.
