Century Mining Takes Delivery of New Haulage Trucks for Sigma Open Pit

BLAINE, WASHINGTON--(CCNMatthews - July 19, 2006) - Century Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CMM) announces that the first of four Komatsu HD785-5LC 100-ton haulage trucks has been delivered to the Sigma mine. Mechanical assembly and commissioning have been completed and the truck is currently in operation in the Sigma pit.

On March 14, 2006 the Company announced the purchase of four trucks.

The second truck is currently being assembled in Val d'Or and should be operational before the end of July. The remaining two units will be delivered in August. The new trucks will allow Century to advance the deferred waste stripping that has limited the mine's ability to achieve budgeted gold production during 2005 and 2006 year to date.

Margaret Kent, President & CEO, commented: "We are pleased to announce that the new trucks have begun arriving. These trucks will facilitate substantially more waste haulage so that our long-term mine plan and production targets can be achieved."
