Century Mining Corporation ("Century" or the "Company") (TSX-V: CMM) is pleased to release its Fourth Quarter Production Report for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 for its San Juan Gold Mine in Peru. The Company is planning to release its 2009 audited financial and detailed operating results in April 2010.

"The Company is pleased to see continued operating success at the San Juan Gold Mine in Peru, and we extend our appreciation to the hard working team at the minesite and to our corporate office staff in Lima.

Fourth quarter gold production, considering in-process inventory, was 4,744 ounces (versus 3,347 ounces in Q4 2008), bringing the total for 2009 to 17,036 ounces. This is a production record for the Company at San Juan and a 19.5% increase over 2008.
