Centurion Commences Field Work at Limestone Gold Project, Suriname

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 20, 2026) - Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CTN) ("Centurion" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that an experienced geological field crew has been mobilized to the 3,548-hectare Limestone Gold Project ("Limestone" or the "Project") in Suriname. The crew is currently conducting detailed geological mapping and sampling focused on exposures in drainages and active small-scale mining areas in the Toeboeka Hills region on the western portion of the concession (see Figure 1). A fly camp has been established in an area previously utilized as a work camp by small-scale miners, and access trails are being cleared to support ATV operations. Initial work includes systematic, semi-quantitative panning of small drainages to identify potential bedrock gold sources, with particular emphasis on capturing fine "flour" gold (rather than the coarser gold of interest to small-scale miners). Upon completion of this phase, the Company plans to implement a shallow auger sampling program, followed by trenching and target definition for drilling. Historical airborne geophysical data will be integrated to help delineate gold trends. Dr. Dennis LaPoint, President of Centurion, commented: "The mobilization of our field team marks an important step in advancing the Limestone Project. Our approach leverages proven methods from weathered terrains similar to Suriname, where effective drainage panning and targeted follow-up sampling have successfully led to gold discoveries. We are excited to build on the reconnaissance data gathered earlier this year." Concurrently, Centurion continues to evaluate additional potential gold project acquisitions in the highly prospective Rosebel-Saramacca district of the Guiana Shield. Figure 1.
