$$ Century Mining. Die Goldchance ! $$

Rehabilitation work associated with the main accesses and secondary means of egress have been completed and ground conditions encountered continue to be very favorable. The gold-bearing veins encountered to date underground are narrow vein flat laying structures, typically ranging in width from several inches to 2-3 feet, with significant assayed gold values returned from many samples and the presence of visible free gold occurring in a number of veins.

The Sigma-Lamaque underground has NI 43-101 compliant resources as follows: Measured 772,000 tonnes at a grade of 5.4 g/t Au, Indicated 3,151,000 tonnes at a grade of 4.91 g/t Au for a total contained 630,000 ounces of gold in Measured and Indicated. In addition a further 10,101,000 tonnes is carried in the inferred category at a grade of 5.21 g/t Au containing 1.7 million ounces of gold. (Ref. CAM report, Sigma Lamaque Complex, November 29, 2005 which is available on www.sedar.com).

Century's results herein described have been prepared under the guidance of Mr. Ross F. Burns, P.Geo., LG, Vice President of Exploration, who is designated as a Qualified Person with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data.

Margaret Kent, President & CEO, commented: "We are very excited to be able to begin mining underground at Lamaque. This project represents another step forward in Century's strategy to establish itself as a formidable mid-tier gold producer. To this point in Century's development, the Sigma Lamaque Complex has been instrumental, providing six consecutive quarters of positive cash flow and contributing to an annual net profit for the Company in 2006. With the opening of the Lamaque underground, we look forward to even more positive operational and financial results, through which we may continue to grow the Company."

plant includes both a zinc precipitation circuit and a new carbon absorption
circuit. Mina Rosario de Belen is equipped with leach-pad capacity for
10-million tonnes and a Merrill-Crowe zinc precipitation circuit, which
currently operates at 530 gallons per minute. Power is currently generated
on-site, with plans to connect to the national power grid in the second quarter
of 2007.

Current start-up monthly production, on one 8-hour shift per day, 5 days per
week, is 650 ounces of gold and 6,500 ounces of silver. Century management
believes that the mine's production can be increased to approximately 25,000 to
30,000 gold-equivalent ounces per year. Gold equivalents are calculated using a
US$600/oz gold price and US$10/oz silver price. Cash costs of production are
reported to be in the US$250-$300/oz range during the current start-up phase. A
feasibility study has not been completed by Century and the estimate provided
by the previous owners should not be relied upon.

The deposit has a reported historical resource of 18 million tonnes of ore
grading 0.9 grams of gold equivalent per tonne or approximately 500,000 ounces
of gold. This resource was calculated by the previous owner in 2001, however an
NI 43-101-qualified report has not been completed on the deposit and the
historical resource should not be relied on.

The deposit is open along strike and is amenable to modern exploration
techniques. Based on the site visit and review of the owner's drill data,
trench sampling and geological maps and reports by Century's Qualified Person,
Dan Brost, Manager of Resource Geology, Century's geological team plans to
conduct a resource definition program to confirm the reported 18 million tonnes
grading 0.9 g/t gold equivalent. The above quantity and grade estimates are
Century's only, and there has been insufficient drilling to date to define a NI
43-101 compliant measured mineral resource.

The resource is associated with an intrusive sub-volcanic unit that has cut
across the sedimentary rocks of the Chimu Formation. The Chimu Formation hosts
the nearby Santa Rosa gold deposit, which is currently producing 140,000
gold-equivalent ounces per year, and is also host to world-class gold deposits
including Lagunas Norte, which is producing 1.1 million ounces of gold per
year, and Yanacocha, which is producing 2.6 million ounces of gold per year.

The resource and geological setting are characteristic for this district, in
that the resource is silver-rich and most of the mineralization is hosted in
the oxidized intrusive unit. The exploration model (sandstone-hosted
gold-silver) of the district could be applied to the area around the Patival
land concessions with reasonable prospects for further discovery.
Given Rosario de Belen's favorable geologic setting and its location adjacent
to Santa Rosa, along a recognized trend that includes other large mines, the
area is considered to be very prospective and could potentially host another
Santa Rosa-type deposit.

Century has agreed to issue one million Century shares to the sellers as
consideration for the purchase. Terms of the deal include a total purchase
price of US$20.5 million in cash, to be paid in installments of US$3.25 million
on closing in 45 days, US$3.25 million six months after closing, and US$13
million 12 months after closing, along with 500,000 shares of Century. Century
has also agreed to pay a 1.5% NSR royalty to the sellers. Century expects to
close the transaction in 45 days. The transaction is subject to the
finalization of all documentation and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company also announced a non-brokered private placement of units raising up
to C$12 million. Each unit is priced at $0.89 and consists of one share plus
one-quarter share purchase warrant exercisable at $1.17 for a period of 24
months. After 12 months the warrants will become exercisable within 20 days if
the 20-day weighted average closing share price exceeds $1.25. The shares will
be subject to restrictions on resale for four months. A large portion of the
placement will be taken down by a significant European mining group.

No finder's fee or brokers warrants will be paid.

Proceeds of the unit offering will be used for the acquisition of Mina Rosario
de Belen, mining equipment, capital requirements at the San Juan Gold Mine and
other general corporate working capital purposes.

Margaret Kent, President & CEO, said, "We are very excited to announce another
quality acquisition in Peru. Rosario de Belen will not only add immediate
ounces to Century's production profile, but will also provide significant
exploration potential, and the Company plans to aggressively increase resources
here. This acquisition is consistent with the Company's policy of finding and
financing producing but undervalued gold mines on terms that can increase
shareholder value."

Lars Marius Furu, CEO of Wega Mining said: "We are pleased to make this arrangement with Century Mining. Century's current operations are making good progress and there is considerable value to unlock. We are also excited about the company's growth opportunities in Peru, for which the main proceeds from this placement will be used."

Margaret Kent, President and CEO of Century Mining, said, "We are pleased to have Wega Mining as a significant shareholder. The relationship will give Century increased exposure to the European mining community, new institutional investors and sources of capital to increase shareholder value. We also plan to visit Norway for a road show in June as part of the company's ongoing investor relations activities.

Wega Mining ASA is an Oslo-based international mining company focused on exploring, developing and operating gold, copper and zinc deposits. The company currently holds exploration licenses in Guinea, Canada, Portugal, Ecuador, Romania and Norway, and a gold-copper development project in Canada. It trades on Oslo Axess, an exchange regulated by the Oslo Stock Exchange, under the ticker WEMI. Further information can be accessed at www.wegamining.com.

Century Mining Corporation is an emerging mid-tier Canadian gold producer formed in 2003. The company forecasts 100,000 ounces of gold production in 2007 at a cash cost of US$370 per ounce, including 86,000 ounces from its Sigma and Lamaque Mines in Quebec and 14,000 ounces from its Peru operation. Century's corporate strategy is to acquire and develop properties with previously discovered and undervalued mineral assets into operating mines.

At the same time, the 55th Civil Court in Lima ordered Algamarca, or any third party that could have acquired rights from Algamarca, to
return the property to Sulliden. Algamarca is also prohibited from impeding Sulliden in its mining activities. Algamarca is appealing the
ruling.
Kent says the their analysis led Century to its purchase decision.
"We thought, 'Wow, we don't think Sulliden's going to win this litigation and if they do, it's going to be 10 years from now,'" Kent says.
"We came to the conclusion that if we wanted Shahuindo at this point in time, the deal to do was to buy Algamarca, not Sulliden."
Century already has big plans for the property - the company wants to produce 125,000 to 150,000 oz. gold per year by the fourth
quarter of 2009.
As of 2005, Shahuindo had an indicated resource of 38 million tonnes grading 0.95 gram gold per tonne and 22.99 grams silver and an
inferred resource of 0.62 gram gold per tonne and 12.83 grams silver.
Kearney says Sulliden has spent "millions" on litigation but the company isn't ready to give up the fight yet.
"It's not us that keeps going to court ... the Algamarca shareholders approved it, the money was paid and we've conducted two major
drilling programs," Kearney says. "You can't wipe all that out."
Algamarca applied for a mining permit for the property in the fall of 2006 but was rejected by the Ministry of Energy and Mines.
The selling companies will continue to manage the litigation and Century can walk away from the project at anytime.
But Kent hinted that while Century's intention is to prevail through the courts, the company is also open to reaching an agreement with
Sulliden.
"All they have done for their shareholders is sit in court. Why didn't they go settle it?" Kent asks. "My phone lines are open."
The case needs to be heard by three judges who have had nothing to do with the case before, which both Kent and Kearney say is
proving difficult.
