TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 4, 2009) - Chariot Resources Limited (TSX: CHD.TO) announced that it held its annual meeting of shareholders earlier today in Toronto starting at 10:00 a.m. At the meeting, shareholders:

2) appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors for the ensuing year and authorized the directors to set PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's remuneration; and

3) approved the Corporation's Shareholder Rights Plan.

At the meeting, a total of 202,787,600 common shares were represented by shareholders in person or by proxy amounting to 61.7 % of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Common shares that voted the "White" proxy in support of the Chariot Board nominees amounted to 105,787,374, and common shares that voted the "Blue" proxy in support of the dissident ("Concerned Shareholders") Board nominees amounted to 96,638,434.

The Company has estimated that:

- Over 75% of the "White" votes represented Institutions and approximately 25% represented Retail shareholders, and

- if the block held by Lundin Mining is excluded from the "Blue" votes then the Concerned Shareholders attracted an estimated 36,447,934 votes.
