Centurion Gold Holdings, Inc.

Centurion Gold Holdings (OTCBB:CGHI) is a resource development company that acquires, develops and mines or spins out natural resource assets. The Company's mineral assets generally have combined the potential for a near term revenue stream and existing low cost production operations with turnaround opportunities. 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
