Centurion Minerals Ltd. Finalizes Casa Berardi West Gold Property Agreement and Completes Private Placement Financing

The Project consists of 3 claim groups (Noseworthy, Newman and Hepburn) comprising approximately 5,100 hectares (the "Properties"), strategically located northeast of Cochrane, Ontario, in the metal endowed central north Abitibi greenstone belt (Figure 1).

Highlights:

a) Historical exploration includes more than 70 RC drill holes returning encouraging results that include 18 samples greater than 1,000 ppb (1 g/t) gold and the highest returning 38,000 ppb (38g/t) gold;

b) Situated along structural corridors hosting world-class discoveries, operating mines, and significant past-producing operations;

c) Located near historical production from Normetal Mines as well as currently active, Amex Exploration Inc. which is undertaking one of the largest drilling programs in Canada on its Perron project and recently raised $26million.

d) Excellent access and infrastructure.

An amended NI 43-101 Technical Report outlining the Project's historical activities has been completed and filed on Sedar and can be found on the Company's website.

Immediate exploration efforts will be focused on: (i) compilation of all historical data; (ii) ground geophysics over priority targets; and (iii) identification of near-term drill targets.

David Tafel, CEO of the Company commented: "With the finalization of the Casa Berardi transaction now complete, we are anxious to commence initial exploration activities. As the Project is located within a region of current and historical gold and polymetallic production and is in close proximity to recent discoveries, we believe we have an excellent opportunity for value creation."
