adding to copper/moly notes ... just parking this - ignore 11/2/06 - Santa Clarita update on the Company's exploration program at its Santa Clarita property in Peru. Previous exploration in 2005 and early 2006 by Minera IRL S.A. included 33 surface chip and channel samples taken from the Santa Clarita prospect. These samples ranged from 11.2 to 332 ppm copper; 1.0 to 1601.5 ppm molybdenum; and 0.005 to 5.62 g-t gold. During the last two months Century has conducted surface exploration in this area to confirm the previous data and to obtain further information and select drilling targets. The anomalous zone displays high silica, disseminated pyrite and intense alteration at the surface. Copper and 25-element Inductively Coupled Plasma analysis are pending. The target is suggestive of a gold-rich oxide cap over an accompanying copper-gold porphyry system. biz.yahoo.com Oct 31 - Permits - Larry Hillesland as Exploration Manager The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Larry Hillesland as Exploration Manager, Peru. Larry has over 25 years of experience in field exploration of which five years were spent in Peru.

Gold Fields And... Gold Fields Ltd., through its subsidiary, Gold Fields Corona BVI., has signed a definitive Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 92 per cent of the voting shares of Sociedad Minera La Cima S.A. from various members of the Gubbins family. Sociedad Minera La Cima owns the Cerro Corona Project and other mineral properties in Cajamarca, Peru. Closing of the agreement is conditional upon the completion of the acquisition of required surface rights, approval of the EIS and the issue of construction permits. Based upon a Definitive Feasibility Study completed by GRD Minproc with an amendment completed in August 2003, it is believed that the project has the capacity to produce 147,000 ounces of gold and 65 million pounds of copper per year (280,000 ounces of gold- equivalent), with total operating costs of $212 per ounce of gold equivalent or $0.48 per pound of copper equivalent (using a gold price of $360/oz and a copper price of 80c/lb). The deposit, which lies within a well endowed trend just to the north of the Yanacocha mine in the Cajamarca district of northern Peru, is well studied and has robust economics. Previous feasibility studies of the deposit exploited a larger resource base indicating potential for expansion over the most recent. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> findarticles.com Oct 19th - San Juan " ..., in addition to 20,000 hectares in San Juan, which are some of the best gold exploration concessions in Peru. Furthermore, the vein system in San Juan contains a significant porphyry copper target." biz.yahoo.com Wednesday September 27 - Santa Clarita - Minera IRL S.A. mapped and sampled the area in 2006 and obtained moderately anomalous values in molybdenum (maximum-1,601 ppm), copper (maximum-343 ppm), and gold (maximum-480 ppm). The property is 4 kilometers from San Juan mine with road access. Erika - The Erika target consists of feldspar porphyry that has intruded quartzose siltstones of the Yura Group. - Erika showing is located in the southeast corner of the San Juan property about 6 kilometers from the San Juan mine. The property abuts Teck-Cominco claims to the south and east, which cover a copper porphyry discovery in similar rocks south-east of the Erika. - The Erika showing contains copper values in the siltstones that surround the intrusive but insufficient work has been done to date to provide adequate geochemical coverage of the target area. Colina Dorada The Colina Dorada property is located near Plexmar Resources' Bolsa del Diablo property. Plexmar has reported high values of gold (186.5 g/t), silver (141 g/t), and copper (0.8%) from sampling in veins, stockworks, and significant alteration zones. Numerous itinerant miners - known as "informales" - are working on Colina Dorada, with oxidized gold ore being produced and hauled in bags to small processing mills. Dynasty Metals and Mining, working in Ecuador north of the Colina Dorada property, has delineated a previously unexplored Copper-Gold Belt in Ecuador, which trends south west into the Colina Dorada property. The Copper-Gold Belt is approximately 90 km long and 20 km wide and trends through the Colina Dorada property on strike with the well known Tambo Grande deposits, which are located south west of Colina Dorada. biz.yahoo.com
