BLAINE, WASHINGTON, May 3, 2010 (Marketwire) --

BLAINE, WASHINGTON -- (Marketwire) -- 05/03/10 -- Century Mining Corporation ("Century" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CMM) is pleased to announce the successful completion of another milestone ahead of schedule at the Lamaque Gold Mine in Val d'Or, Quebec. The Lamaque operation reports that all systems are up and running and the mill facility poured its first bar of gold one month ahead of schedule on April 30, 2010. The first gold pour was from the gravity table concentrate from the first few days of operation, which yielded a gold dore bar weighing approximately 230 ounces. The mill can now expect the commencement of regular weekly gold pours going forward as the Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) circuit is now fully operational. Future gold pours will include gold from the stripping circuit as well as the gravity recovered gold.

The Company will be able to provide tonnage, grade and recovery statistics from the first weeks of production at a later date. The Company is also pleased to report that the first jumbo from the fleet of low profile underground mine equipment has arrived on schedule at the Lamaque operation and is being readied for underground deployment this week. The low profile equipment is expected to significantly increase the underground production rate in the Lamaque #2 mineralized flat zones and also assist in lowering mining costs.
