Centenera Stakes Ana Maria Project
Salta Province, Argentina
Plans Q4 Exploration
Vancouver, British Columbia – Centenera Mining Corporation ( “Centenera” or the “Company”) - (TSXV: CT, OTCQB:
CTMIF) announces staking of Ana Maria project (“Ana Maria ” or the “ Project”) and plans for initial reconnaissance
exploration and surface geochemical sampling in Q4 2018.
Ana Maria Acquisition
The Project was acquired through staking and comprises three separate exploration claims , totalling almost 10,000
hectares and located in the vicinity of the Company’s Organullo gold project (the “Organullo District”).
“Staking opportunities are rare in Salta Province where prospective ground is at a real premium.” stated Keith Henderson,
Centenera’s President & CEO, “Property acquisitions in this region are generally achieved through option agreements with
underlying owners, which can be expensive. With this acquisition , Centenera has an opportunity to assess and explore
this large prospective area with an extremely low acquisition cost.”
Planned Exploration
To the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Project has not been subject to prior exploration, at least not in recent times.
Centenera has considerable expertise in the Organullo District and regionally in Salta Province. The area is prospective for
epithermal gold deposits and associated mineralization. The Company possesses considerable amounts of regional
exploration data that will aid initial exploration and targeting. This data includes extensive BLEG sampling results covering
prospective belts in northwest Argentina, which was collected in partnership with Newmont in 2008. The Company also
has interpreted regional satellite imagery, regional geophysical data, and various other geological and geochemical data
sets.
Next steps will include initial reconnaissance of the Project areas to determine where initial exploration should focus.
Thereafter, exploration will likely focus on detailed surface geochemistry.

these potential exploration target quantities and grades are conceptual in nature, that insufficient exploration and

geological modelling has been done to define a mineral resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result
in the delineation of a mineral resource.
