Centurion Gold Holdings, Inc.:

Centurion Gold Holdings is a resource development company that acquires, develops, or spins out natural resource assets. 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 professionals to exploit these opportunities, and is positioning itself to become an international natural resource developer by continually implementing its "growth through acquisition" strategy. www.centuriongold.com
