Based in South Africa, the Company is ideally suited to exploit new legislation implemented by the South African government in May 2004. This legislation enforces a "use it or lose it" strategy, whereby all mining claims must be prospected within a designated time frame, otherwise, such prospects revert to the state, thereby creating never before seen opportunities, particularly for smaller companies like Centurion. The Company has built a strong team of experienced management and operations mining professionals to exploit these opportunities, and is positioning itself to become a major producer by continually implementing its "growth through acquisition" strategy. www.centuriongold.com Forward-Looking Statements forward-looking statement A projected financial statement based on management expectations.
