Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CTN) ("Centurion", "the Company") announces
that the Company has initiated a reconnaissance (Phase 1) exploration program on
its "Slate Belt" concession located in central Myanmar. The exploration program
will include geological mapping, stream sediment geochemistry, and evaluation of
historical gold occurrences. The objective of the Phase 1 exploration program is
to prioritize targets within the concession and, as part of the Myanmar
permitting process, finalize the location of the Slate Belt concession
boundaries.


The "Slate Belt" concession is located south of Mandalay city and covers an area
of approximately 692 square kilometers. The Modi Taung gold mine and the Lebyin
gold-antimony mine are within a few kilometers south and east, respectively, of
the Slate Belt concession boundaries. The Modi Taung and Lebyin mines were
discovered and evaluated by Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. during the late 1990s and early
2000s; a phase of exploration which also included the discovery of a number of
gold occurrences within the Slate Belt concession. The current program on the
Slate Belt will include the exploration of geological and structural
environments similar to those hosting the Modi Taung and Lebyin mines.


Myanmar's exploration and mining permits are issued by the central Government
and allow for a mineral concession to be explored for up to 5 years followed by
a 25 year production period. Subject to receipt of all regulatory approvals,
Centurion will hold an 80% interest in the concession with 20% held by its
Myanmar partner, Crown Minerals Company. The Slate Belt concession is road
accessible and exploration activities can be carried out year round.
