Century Mining Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan

BLAINE, WASHINGTON--(CCNMatthews - April 13, 2007) - Century Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CMM) announces that the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the adoption of a shareholder rights plan (the "Plan"), effective April 11, 2007. The Plan is designed to give the Company's Board of Directors and shareholders sufficient time to properly assess an unsolicited take-over bid without any undue pressure. Adoption of the plan also gives the Company's Board of Directors time to consider alternatives designed to allow the Company's shareholders to receive full and fair value for their common shares. Additionally, the Plan is designed to provide shareholders of the Company with equal treatment in a take-over bid.

Rights under the Plan will become exercisable when a person, together with any parties related to it, acquires or announces its intention to acquire 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common shares without complying with the provisions of the Plan or without approval of the Board of Directors of the Company. Under such circumstances, each right, upon exercise, will permit the purchase of common shares of the Company at a substantial discount to the market price.

The Company intends to seek shareholder approval of the Plan at its upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on May 7, 2007. The adoption of the plan is also subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Margaret Kent, President & CEO commented, "Given the number of resource ounces on our books and the Company's expansion plans going forward, in addition to a management team experienced in identifying unique acquisition opportunities, we feel that the Company is grossly undervalued. This new plan will allow the Board of Directors of Century time to investigate all alternatives to maximize shareholder value in the event of an unsolicited takeover bid."

The Company also announced that it will disclose fourth quarter and full-year 2006 financial results on Monday, April 16, followed by a management conference call on Friday, April 20.
