TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 20, 2011) - White Tiger Gold Ltd. ("White Tiger") (TSX:WTG) and Century Mining Corporation ("Century") (TSX VENTURE:CMM) are pleased to announce the completion of their previously announced business combination (the "Business Combination").

Under the Business Combination, White Tiger and Century combined by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement"), resulting in 7918534 Canada Inc. ("AcquisitionCo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of White Tiger, acquiring all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Century (each, a "Century Share"). The Business Combination was approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on September 26, 2011 and by the Government of Canada, under the Investment Canada Act, on October 12, 2011. As previously announced by each of White Tiger and Century, the Business Combination was approved at special meetings of the shareholders of each of White Tiger and Century held on September 13, 2011.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Arrangement Agreement dated as of August 9, 2011, among White Tiger, Century and AcquisitionCo, and the Plan of Arrangement, each Century Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, other than Century Shares held by dissenting shareholders, was exchanged for either 0.4 of a White Tiger common share (each whole common share, a "White Tiger Share") or 0.4 of an exchangeable share in the capital of AcquisitionCo (each whole exchangeable share, an "Exchangeable Share"). The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable into White Tiger Shares, on a one-for-one basis, at any time upon the election of the holder thereof and will be automatically exchanged in certain circumstances up to five years after issuance. Each Exchangeable Share carries, to the extent practicable, economic and voting rights equivalent to those of a White Tiger Share.

Upon closing of the Business Combination ("Closing"), 181,391,031 White Tiger Shares and 6,093,688 Exchangeable Shares were issued to Century shareholders. White Tiger has reserved an additional 19,683,218 White Tiger Shares for issuance upon exercise of the convertible securities of Century that were outstanding immediately before Closing. Including the 181,391,031 White Tiger Shares issued in connection with the Business Combination, White Tiger has 296,821,246 White Tiger Shares outstanding on an undiluted basis, and 322,598,152 White Tiger Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis. White Tiger Shares, including the White Tiger Shares issued in connection with the Business Combination, are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). Trading of the Century Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange was halted prior to market open today and such shares are expected to be voluntarily de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange following the close of markets on October 21, 2011.

Following the completion of the Business Combination and the issuance of the White Tiger Shares and Exchangeable Shares pursuant thereto, Mr. Maxim Finskiy, the Executive Chairman and a director of White Tiger, through two companies wholly-owned by him, beneficially owns and/or exercises control or direction over 129,765,294 White Tiger Shares, or approximately 44% and 40% of the total number of issued and outstanding White Tiger Shares on a non-diluted and fully diluted basis, respectively.
