Century Energy Updates Vaughn Prospect

THIS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.


Century Energy Ltd (TSX VENTURE:CEY) ("Century" or the "Company") announces that
further to its November 24, 2011 press release, it has drilled and is in the
process of production testing its 10-30 Vawn well in west central Saskatchewan
(the "Vawn Prospect"). After having encountered approximately 17.5 meters of
indicated heavy oil pay above the oil/water contact, thermal production casing
was run and completion operations were initiated utilizing a service rig and a
tubing-reciprocated pumping system (PTS). The PTS was unable to pump the well
off, so in order to get an accurate flow rate measurement, a screw pump and
single well battery is now being installed. Productive wells in the nearby Edam
Pool typically produce large volumes of water before the onset of oil and
thereafter at high water cuts. Consequently it may be necessary to pump this
well for several weeks before its commerciality can be assessed.


Century has a 50% working interest in the Vawn Prospect.

More information concerning the Vawn Prospect can be found on the Company's web
site at www.centuryenergyltd.com. Century Energy is an oil and gas exploration
company pursuing opportunities in Canada and the United States.
