[{"type":"text","content":"Centurion Initiates Resource Deliniation Work ProgramVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2016 / Centurion Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CTN) (\"Centurion\", or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a systematic grid-based mechanical trenching and excavation field program on the Ana Sofia agricultural gypsum project in Santiago Del Estero, Argentina. The objectives of this program are to confirm the extent of near surface high-purity gypsum layers across the property and assess the overburden thickness. The data generated by this program will be utilized for geological modeling and resource tonnage estimation. \nThe author of the recently filed, NI 43-101 technical report (news release April 5, 2016) estimated that the Ana Sofia 1 and 2 mining concession areas contain a potential exploration target of between approximately 866,000 tonnes and 1.365 million tonnes of material having gypsum contents ranging between 90% and 98%. It should be noted that this potential exploration target does not include any of the areas around or between the Ana Sofia 1 and 2 mining leases where the Company and its joint venture partner, Demetra Minerals Inc. hold exploration rights and where there is a significant potential to identify additional gypsum layers and/or extensions of the gypsum layers observed on the mining concessions. \nExcavation (trenching) work has commenced at the property and the initial phase will comprise the mapping and sampling of approximately 20 trenches on a wide-spaced ~200 meter (m) x ~300 m grid pattern. The trenches will test the extent and tenor of the known gypsum layers at the property with planned depths of between 8 m and 10 m from surface. In addition, several (4-5) trenches across the property will be expanded to test depths of between 10 m and 15 m from surface in order to explore for potential additional gypsum layers. The samples generated by this work will be sent to an independent accredited laboratory for analysis and results will be released upon receipt. In conjunction with the trenching program, detailed topographic surveys of the property have been commissioned that will provide data for use in the planned geological modeling and resource estimation work as well as future project development and design work.\nThe Ana Sofia project comprises two mining concessions totaling 50 hectares ...
