Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CTN) ("Centurion", "the Company") wishes to
update its shareholders on the progress of its Phase I drilling campaign,
designed to test priority gold-copper targets that the Company has identified on
its Nareh prospect situated within the Badak property in Aceh, N. Sumatra,
Indonesia. The targets are within the Nareh volcanic-intrusive complex measuring
2km x 1km diameter and hosting epithermal- and porphyry-style, and skarn
mineralization.


Two holes have now been completed with the first hole, NA DDH-01, being drilled
to the maximum drill rig capability depth of 211 metres (m) and the second hole,
NA DDH-02, collared approximately 50m to the west and completed at 205m. These
holes were aimed at gold-copper mineralization with open-pit potential beneath a
massive silica-clay hill. The alteration and mineralization of the rock types in
both holes are similar and hence their collective summary is as follows:

Assay results of these drill holes will be reported when received.

A third hole DDH-03 is underway, targeting mineralization below the gold and
copper surface anomalies in the skarn to the northwest of the Nareh prospect.
Upon the completion of this hole, the rig will be used to drill for epithermal
gold that overlies the porphyry mineralization. This epithermal target area has
widespread gold anomalies on the surface, including rock channel samples
assaying up to 9 g/t Au. Centurion is currently securing a second, bigger drill
rig, capable of drilling to a depth of 1000 metres in order to continue DDH-01
to a greater depth.


The Company has held a number of community engagement sessions within the
project area that have included teams from the departments of mining, local
legislative representatives, village heads and staff, and other community
stakeholders. Villagers and stakeholders have been highly participatory and
cooperative with respect to road access, construction, and exploration programs
in the region.


"We are very fortunate to have such strong local stakeholder support and not be
subject to protected forest permit constraints," stated David Tafel, Centurion
President & CEO.


Site logistics are simultaneously being advanced in order to commence a first
phase 2,000 metre drilling program on the Company's Banda Raya property where
the Company previously reported results from geological and geochemical surveys
that delineated a 5 km radius gold-copper prospect complex. Deposit types in
this complex are: epithermal gold mineralization, porphyry copper-gold-style
mineralization and gold + base metal-bearing quartz veins.
