Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CTN) ("Centurion", "the Company") and GPM
Asia Limited ("GPM Asia"), a private mining company with operations in Southeast
Asia, are pleased to announce that they have entered into a Strategic Alliance
Agreement. The Strategic Agreement sets out the process pursuant to which
Centurion and GPM Asia will work together to negotiate acquisition and
development strategies with respect to specific projects in Myanmar and to
advance Centurion's Aceh, Indonesia projects. Centurion has identified certain
mining projects in Myanmar that it believes fit GPM Asia's strategic acquisition
parameters.
Under the terms of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, GPM Asia will make an
initial equity investment into Centurion by way of Private Placement for up to 5
million shares of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share, and will have the
right to nominate a representative to the Board of Directors. The placement is
subject to completion of due diligence and TSX Venture Exchange approval.
"The alliance with GPM Asia is a very unique opportunity for Centurion to expand
the Company's financial and operations management resources and extend its
interest into advanced development projects. GPM Asia's objective of expanding
its current Asian mining operations into Myanmar and Indonesia is also
enhanced," said Alfred Lenarciak, Centurion Chairman.
"We are excited to join efforts with Centurion in our expansion of mining
operations in Southeast Asia. Our new partner's expertise and experience in the
region will be instrumental in taking GPM Asia's development projects forward.
We are pleased to contribute our financial and management resources to enhance
our partnership's positions in Myanmar and Indonesia," said Siman Povarenkin,
GPM Asia's founder and shareholder.
