Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CTN) ("Centurion", "the Company") wishes to update its shareholders on the progress of its exploration and drilling activities on the Nareh epithermal gold prospect within the Badak Property in North Sumatra. This epithermal gold prospect, together with porphyry copper and gold-copper skarn prospects (originally announced in a news release dated August 11, 2011), occurs in a 1.2 x 1 kilometre (km) volcanic-intrusive complex. The current exploration program consists of ground magnetic and soil geochemical surveys over the entire complex area (both the epithermal and porphyry copper prospects), and a minimum of 4,000 metres (m) of reconnaissance diamond drilling. Highlights of the Nareh Epithermal Gold Target Results to Date Several high gold anomalies in rock and soil samples have been delineated within the surveyed area, enabling Centurion to generate drill hole locations aimed at discovering economically viable gold mineralization. The most significant anomalies are as follows: -- Assays from a total of 92 rock chip and 1-m channel samples within a 400 x 600 m geochemical anomalous area indicate: -- Continuous channel samples returned 11m of 2.83 g/t gold, with the highest gold grade of 11 g/t over one metre. -- 21 of the rock samples contain greater than 0.1 gram/ton (g/t) gold, including 6 rock chip samples collected at 1m spacing ranging from 1.97 to 9.44 g/t gold. -- Assays from a total of 200 soil samples taken from an expanded 500 x 1,400 m gold anomalous area indicate: -- 20 samples registering between 0.05 and 0.7 g/t gold. -- 130 out of 200 soil samples contain greater than 0.01 g/t gold, (the background/baseline value is 0.005 g/t gold), and gold is correlated positively with pathfinder elements Cu and As. -- The first diamond drill hole (NA DDH-005) on the Nareh gold prospect, collared at the gold anomaly, ended at a depth of 200 m, the maximum capacity of the drill rig. Assays of NA DDH-005 core samples are pending. -- The second hole, (NA DDH-006) located approximately 120 m north of the first hole and directed toward the southwest, is in progress. This hole is designed to test the continuity of the mineralization to the north and northwest.

Those magmatic rocks were variably altered to silica and clay minerals, and brecciated in various places. The silicified rocks appear to form topographically resistant lithocaps that underlie the postulated porphyry mineralization on the basis of the occurrence of Cu-Au-Mo-bearing outcrops at the foothill. In addition, partial oxidation is apparent in the upper part of the rocks, where some of the highest gold grades are located. The complex is cut by a series of NNE and NNW-trending faults, which control the epithermal mineralization. "We are extremely encouraged by the work done to date on the Nareh epithermal gold prospect area. This large area marked by widespread gold soil anomalies and the occurrence of elevated gold concentrations in outcrops demonstrate the potential for a significant gold discovery," stated David Tafel, CEO of Centurion. Pending Assay Results from Nareh Prospect Porphyry Copper Drilling On August 11, 2011, the Company announced the progress of the Phase I drilling campaign on the Nareh porphyry copper target area. At that time, two drill holes, NA DDH-001 and NA DDH-002, were terminated at 200m due to limitation of the drilling rig despite visual observation of the presence of copper-bearing sulfide minerals. Two additional holes, NA DDH-003 and NA DDH-004 have subsequently been drilled. Complete assay results from these four drill holes have not yet been received due to delayed analysis turn-around time from the laboratory. Results will be reported when received. Qualified Person, Quality Assurance and Quality Control Thomas Mulja, Ph.D., P.Geo and Chief Operating Officer of the Company is the Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 who has supervised the preparation of the technical contents of this news release. The sampling protocol is managed by Centurion Minerals under the supervision of Thomas Mulja. Rock chips and sawn channel samples are sealed in poly zip lock or "Hubco" sample bags and delivered to Intertek Testing and Inspection Services preparation laboratory in the city of Medan, North Sumatra. The resulting pulps are sent directly by the laboratory staff to its headquarters analytical laboratory in Jakarta. The Jakarta Laboratory is ISO 90001 and 17025 accredited and employs a Laboratory Information Management System for sample tracking, quality control and reporting. In addition to Intertek internal standard materials and blank samples, Centurion regularly inserts into every sample batch its own certified rock standards from OREAS and GEOSTATS, Australia, and field duplicate samples. Gold is determined with fire assay methods (FA 50), and other elements with Induced Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES; Intertek Codes: IC01 and IC50). Intertek systematically re-assays selected low, high, and over-limit results.
