Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2017) - Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CTN) ("Centurion", or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has re-commenced shipments of agricultural gypsum material under contract for delivery to
its distributors from the Ana Sofia Project in Argentina. Centurion's local partner reports that it has loaded, sold and shipped
150 tonnes of previously stockpiled material during the past few days. Excavation of raw material is underway and the crushing
plant is operating. Demand is now normalizing after months of extreme flooding and wet weather conditions that resulted in
significant delays to crop planting and fertilizing across many Argentine agricultural regions.
ABOUT THE ANA SOFIA PROJECT
The pilot plant has a process design capacity of 4,000 tonnes/month. Gypsum is quarried from near-surface, flat-lying beds
within the sedimentary formation that extends throughout the Ana Sofia, Santiago del Estero, Argentina Property. The gypsum rock is
fed into primary and secondary crushers, then screened and sorted into two agri-gypsum fertilizer products. The plant is designed
to produce both a pellet-sized granular product and a powdered product (each comprised of a minimum 85% gypsum content) that are
packaged into one tonne tote bags. Agricultural gypsum (calcium sulfate) is a valuable plant nutrient and plays a vital role in
maintaining soil structure and nutrient balance in South American soils, allowing great crop yields.
The Project comprises two mining concessions totaling 50 hectares (ha) in size within a larger (approximately 600 ha)
exploration permit area. The Project is well situated within a region where other small producers are currently extracting
agricultural gypsum and selling to fertilizer distributors and farmers. An initial inferred gypsum resource for the Project was
estimated (news releases - October 31; December 16, 2016), to comprise 1.47 million tonnes averaging 94.1% gypsum, using an 85%
cut-off grade that is the minimum required gypsum content for commercial-quality agricultural gypsum products in Argentina.

The Ana Sofia project has not been the subject of a feasibility study and as such there is no certainty that a potential mine
will be realized or that the processing facility will be able to produce a commercially marketable product. There is a significant
risk that any production from the project will not be profitable with these risks elevated by the absence of a compliant
NI 43‑101 feasibility study. A mine production decision that is not based on a feasibility study demonstrating economic and
technical viability does not provide adequate disclosure of the increased uncertainty and specific risks of failure associated with
such a production decision. The Company has undertaken market research and studies to try to mitigate these risks. The work carried
out to date is of a preliminary nature to assist in the determination as to whether the mineral product is suitable for sale and if
there are markets for the mineral product. General risks inherent in the Project include the reliance on available data and
assumptions and judgments used in the interpretation of such data, the speculative and uncertain nature of exploration and
development costs, capital requirements and the ability to obtain financing, volatility of global and local economic climates,
share price volatility, estimated price volatility, changes in equity markets, exchange rate fluctuations and other risks involved
in the mineral exploration and development industry. There can be no assurance that a forward‑looking statement or information
referenced herein will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such statements or information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward‑looking statements or information.
We undertake no obligation to reissue or update any forward‑looking statements or information except as required by law.
The Ana Sofia mineral resource estimate is reported in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators National
Instrument 43-101 and has been estimated using the CIM "Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice
Guidelines" dated November 23rd, 2003 and CIM "Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves" dated May
10th, 2014. Due to the relatively wide spacing of the historical quarries and the 2016 test pits, which varies between
40 m and 300 m, the Ana Sofia 2 resource described herein is categorized entirely as an inferred mineral resource. Inferred Mineral
Resources are not Mineral Reserves. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
There has been insufficient exploration to define the inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource, however, it
is reasonably expected that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with
continued exploration. There is no guarantee that any part of the mineral resources will be converted into a mineral reserve in the
future. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by geology, environment, permitting, legal, title, taxation,
socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues.
This news release contains forward looking statements concerning future operations of Centurion Minerals Ltd. (the "Company").
All forward-looking statements concerning the Company's future plans and operations, including management's assessment of the
Company's project expectations or beliefs may be subject to certain assumptions, risks and uncertainties beyond the Company's
control. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual performance and
exploration and financial results may differ materially from any estimates or projections. Such statements include, among others:
possible variations in mineralization, grade or recovery rates; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of
reclamation activities; conclusions of future economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined;
failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents and other risks of the mining industry; delays and other
risks related to construction activities and operations; timing and receipt of regulatory approvals of operations; the ability of
the Company and other relevant parties to satisfy regulatory requirements; the availability of financing for proposed transactions,
programs and working capital requirements on reasonable terms; the ability of third‑party service providers to deliver services on
reasonable terms and in a timely manner; market conditions and general business, economic, competitive, political and social
conditions.
