Dr. Geoffrey Cowley, CEO of White Tiger, stated, "White Tiger is very pleased to make this opportunity available to Century shareholders to create a global, mid-tier gold producer. The newly formed company will feature a robust portfolio of production, development and exploration assets which we expect will have greater access to the financial markets. This is a very good deal for the shareholders of White Tiger and Century, designed to create value."

Mr. Daniel Major, President and CEO of Century, stated, "On behalf of the board and management of Century, we are fully and unanimously supportive of the Business Combination. We believe the combination of Century and White Tiger should provide financial stability to progress Century's Lamaque and San Juan mining operations. In addition, the combination affords Century shareholders with the opportunity to benefit from the tremendous potential of the gold mining industry in Russia."


White Tiger Overview

Overview


White Tiger has five Russian subsidiaries which hold exploration and mining rights to five large properties in eastern Russia, including the Pridneprov license area, the Zolin-Arkinsk license area, and the Takhtamygda license area as well as White Tiger's two material projects: the Savkino project (the "Savkino Project") and the Nasedkino project (the "Nasedkino Project"). The assets within these companies have demonstrated potential for hosting economic mineral deposits, with gold deposits as their primary focus.


Savkino Mine

The Savkino Mine is a producing gold mine, covering part of the Savkino Project, located in the Ildikan license area, approximately 400 km due east of Chita, the administrative capital of the Zabaikalsky Krai region of the Russian Federation. The license for exploration and mining of gold ore and associated components in the Ildikan license area expires on June 15, 2031 and covers 37 km2, of which the mine covers a surface area of 3.1 km2. The Savkino Project is situated 15 km from the Chinese border.

Mining operations and stacking of ore for heap leaching commenced in the spring of 2008. Heap irrigation commenced in September 2008, after completion of construction of the processing facilities and receipt of the appropriate operating permits, and first gold was poured in October 2008, and is expected to produce 21,000 ounces of gold in 2011.


Nasedkino Project

The Nasedkino Project is comprised of exploration licenses covering over 232 km2. The Nasedkino Project is located in eastern Siberia, 440 km northeast from the city of Chita, and 700 km by paved road to Khabarovsk, one of the biggest industrial cities in eastern Russia. The proposed exploration and development program includes: infill, exploration, geotechnical and other drilling, induced polarization (IP) surveys, metallurgical testing; and the completion of an environmental baseline study.

White Tiger expects to begin gold mining and production at the Nasedkino Project in 2014.


Pridneprov

The Pridneprov exploration and mining license covers 760 km2 and is located in the southern part of the world class Yano-Kolyma Gold Belt. This region represents the western continuation of the Alaskan Gold Province which contains such deposits as Donlin Creek (32 Moz of gold @ 2.2 g/t) and Fort Knox (6 Moz of gold @ 0.86 g/t). The Yano-Kolyma Belt hosts numerous primary gold deposits and tin placers, and the Natalka deposit, the third-largest undeveloped gold resource (40.8 Moz of gold @ 1.13 g/t) in the world. The region has excellent mineral potential for bulk tonnage gold stockwork and sheeted vein systems developed in Jurassic and Cretaceous age granites (Fort Knox) and strongly folded and sheared Triassic to Cretaceous metaturbidites (Donlin Creek). Readers are cautioned that there is no assurance that the Pridneprov project will host gold deposits comparable to the Donlin Creek, Fort Knox or Natalka deposits.


Century Overview

Century was formed in 2003 and is currently headquartered in Blaine, Washington. Century's key assets are the Lamaque Project in Val d'Or, Québec and the San Juan Mine in Arequipa Department, Peru. Century's focus has been the restart of underground production at the Lamaque Project.


Lamaque Mine

In September 2004, Century purchased the assets of the Sigma-Lamaque Limited Partnership. The Sigma-Lamaque complex is located in Val d'Or, Québec, and is fully serviced by roads, power and water. Historically, the Sigma and Lamaque underground mines have been the largest producers of gold in the Val d'Or camp; since 1935, the two mining operations have produced in excess of 9.2 Moz of gold.

When Century took over operations at Sigma and Lamaque, it restarted mining the Sigma open pit in 2005, achieving positive results following a five-month bulk sampling program. Understanding that the pit had a limited life remaining, and in the face of a rising gold price environment, in 2006, Century resumed underground exploration at Lamaque. By the fall of 2007, Century ceased mining from the Sigma pit, and shifted its focus to the ongoing exploration and development of the Lamaque underground mine.

Century resumed the development and rehabilitation activities required to bring the Lamaque Project back on line. In April 2010, the Sigma Mill was brought back on line, processing stope and development ore, and stockpiled ore. In late April 2010, first gold was poured from Lamaque. Planned production in 2011 is forecast to be 70,000 to 75,000 ounces of gold.


San Juan Mine

The San Juan Mine is an underground, narrow vein gold mine located in the Arequipa Department, Peru, approximately 70 km northeast of the city of Camana. Century has an 82.6% interest in the San Juan Mine. The remaining 17.4% is held by San Juan's present and past workforce.

The San Juan mill is processing approximately 300 tpd of ore with a capacity of 345 tpd; however, there are plans to increase throughput to approximately 500-700 tpd by refurbishing a second mill circuit and adding flotation capacity. To support the additional mill capacity, refurbished modern mining equipment, such as scoops, trucks and drills from Lamaque, was sent to San Juan to increase the operation's mining productivity during the second half of 2010. With the mill expansion, and the conversion to more modern mining methodologies, Century anticipates that the San Juan Mine will be able to reach production of 30,000 ounces of gold annually by 2012.


Benefits to Century Shareholders

In addition to receiving an expected premium for their Century shares, it is anticipated that Century shareholders will realize the following benefits from the Business Combination:

- Participation in the next, mid-tier gold producer
-- 61% ownership of White Tiger on a fully diluted, pro forma basis

The Arrangement Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Business Combination will be conducted by way of a court approved plan of arrangement, resulting in Century becoming a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of White Tiger. Each Century common share issued and outstanding immediately prior to closing of the Business Combination will be exchanged for 0.40 of a White Tiger common share. Upon completion of the Business Combination, White Tiger shareholders and Century shareholders will own approximately 39% and 61%, respectively, of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

The newly combined company will draw on the expertise from both companies to fulfill board and management responsibilities. The newly combined board will be comprised of certain of the directors of each of Century and White Tiger, with a majority of the directors being incumbent directors of White Tiger. It is anticipated that Maxim Finskiy, currently Executive Chairman of White Tiger, will be Executive Chairman of the combined company, Daniel Major, currently President and CEO of Century, will be President and CEO of the combined company and Dr. Geoffrey Cowley, currently Chief Executive Officer of White Tiger, will be Chief Operating Officer of the combined company.

All options, warrants and compensation options of Century outstanding immediately prior to closing of the Business Combination will, following closing and subject to regulatory approval, be exercisable for that number of shares (or, in the case of the compensation options, units) of White Tiger using the same exchange ratio applicable to the common shares of Century under the Business Combination, with corresponding adjustment to the exercise prices on the basis of such exchange ratio.

The Arrangement Agreement provides that Century will be obligated to pay a termination payment of $13,500,000 to White Tiger in certain circumstances, including, (i) if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated as a result of the board of directors of Century approving, recommending, or accepting a 'superior proposal' or Century's intentional breach of its covenants under the Arrangement Agreement, or (ii) if Century does not deliver to White Tiger, by March 25, 2011, the consent of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (the "DB Consent"), to: the Business Combination; Century's entering into of the Arrangement Agreement; and the receipt and repayment by Century of the Bridge Loans (as defined below).

Century shareholders will be granted dissent rights which, if exercised in accordance with applicable requirements, will provide such shareholders the right to be paid the fair value for their Century common shares following closing of the Business Combination.


Conditions to Closing

Closing of the Business Combination is subject to certain conditions including:

- approval by a minimum of 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Century shareholders at a duly called special shareholders' meeting;

- approval by a majority of the votes cast by Century shareholders at the special meeting, excluding those votes required to be excluded pursuant to applicable regulatory requirements ("majority of the minority" approval) under MI 61-101 (as defined below) and the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V");

- approval by a majority of the votes cast by White Tiger shareholders at a duly called special shareholders' meeting excluding those votes required to be excluded under MI 61-101 and the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX");

- receipt of interim and final orders of the Ontario Superior Court approving the Business Combination;

- approval/acceptance of the TSX and TSX-V of the Business Combination;

- receipt of applicable third-party consents;

- receipt of the DB Consent by March 25, 2011;

- receipt of any required approvals under the Investment Canada Act;

- Century shareholders holding no more than 5% of the outstanding Century shares having exercised dissent rights; and

- other conditions as are customary for transactions of this nature.

The terms of the Arrangement Agreement will be described in detail in the management information circular of each of White Tiger and of Century to be filed with the regulatory authorities and mailed to White Tiger and Century shareholders in accordance with applicable securities laws in respect of the special meeting of each of White Tiger and Century shareholders expected to be held on or before May 12, 2011 or such other date or dates as Century and White Tiger may agree.

The board of directors of each of White Tiger and Century unanimously support the proposed Business Combination and recommend to their respective shareholders that they vote in favour of the Business Combination at their respective shareholder meetings to be called to approve the Business Combination. The reasons that the board of directors of each company has recommended voting in favour of the Business Combination will be detailed in the aforementioned management information circulars.


Special Committees and Financial Advisors

The board of directors of each of White Tiger and Century established a special committee to review the proposed Business Combination. The White Tiger special committee retained Moelis & Company LLC ("Moelis") as its financial advisors and the Century special committee retained Blair Franklin Capital Partners Inc. ("Blair Franklin") as its financial advisors.

The special committee of the board of directors of White Tiger (the "White Tiger Special Committee") has received a written opinion from Moelis, dated March 11, 2011 that, as of that date, based on and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in such opinion, the exchange ratio to be paid by White Tiger pursuant to the Business Combination is fair from a financial point of view to White Tiger. Such opinion is solely for the benefit of the White Tiger Special Committee and may not be relied upon by any other person (including shareholders of White Tiger). In rendering its opinion, Moelis relied upon (without assuming any responsibility therefor), among other things, at the direction of White Tiger, the projections for White Tiger and Century prepared by management of White Tiger and Century. Moelis received a fee upon delivery of its opinion and will receive a significantly larger fee contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The opinion of Moelis and additional disclosure will be included in a management information circular of White Tiger to be delivered to the shareholders of White Tiger.

The board of directors of Century has received a written opinion from Blair Franklin dated March 11, 2011 that, subject to the assumptions, explanations and limitations included in such opinion, the consideration to be received by the shareholders of Century under the Business Combination is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders, other than Maxim Finskiy and Francis Scola.

Century shareholders are cautioned that the shares of White Tiger have been trading on the TSX only since the end of December 2010 and generally in small volumes. Accordingly, the trading price of White Tiger's shares on the TSX may not be indicative of the intrinsic value of such shares. The Century special committee believes that the proposed exchange ratio is more indicative of the relative intrinsic values of the two companies than the current market price of each company's shares.

Century shareholders are further cautioned that the proposed Business Combination will constitute a taxable transaction for Canadian-resident shareholders and may be a taxable transaction for shareholders in other jurisdictions, with any resulting tax being required to be paid in cash.


Bridge Loans

In the course of negotiations, Century borrowed, on an interim unsecured basis, US$800,000 from White Tiger pursuant to a loan agreement between White Tiger and Century dated February 8, 2011, as amended on February 17, 2011 and as amended and restated on March 11, 2011 (the "First Bridge Loan"). Concurrent with the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, White Tiger agreed to advance up to a further US$3,200,000 to Century (the "Second Bridge Loan") on effectively the same terms as the First Bridge Loan, of which US$1,000,000 was advanced by White Tiger to Century upon execution of the Arrangement Agreement. The interest rate under the First Bridge Loan and the Second Bridge Loan (together, the "Bridge Loans") is 10% per annum and the Bridge Loans mature on the earlier of the effective date of the Business Combination and the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms. Proceeds from the Bridge Loans have allowed Century to meet its essential financial obligations.


Related Party Transactions / Business Combination

Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument MI 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the Bridge Loans constitute a "related party transaction", and the Business Combination constitutes a "business combination", for Century as Maxim Finskiy, a director of White Tiger, beneficially owns and/or exercises control or direction over more than 10% of Century's outstanding common shares and more than 50% of the outstanding common shares of White Tiger. Century is exempt from the formal valuation requirement as its securities are not listed or quoted on a specified exchange as outlined in MI 61-101.

Each of the Business Combination and the Bridge Loans constitutes a "related party transaction" for White Tiger under MI 61-101. No formal valuation on the part of White Tiger is required under MI 61-101 in respect of the Bridge Loans and White Tiger is exempt, pursuant to section 6.3(2) of MI 61-101, from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation in respect of the Business Combination.


Material Change

Entry into of the loan agreements in respect of each of the First Bridge Loan and the Second Bridge Loan each constituted a "material change" for Century under National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations. In respect of the Bridge Loans, it was only upon entry into the loan agreement in respect of the Second Bridge Loan that the Bridge Loans constituted a material change for White Tiger. Century filed a confidential material change report in respect of the First Bridge Loan (which report will now cease to be confidential) within the prescribed period (of 10 days) after the First Bridge Loan was advanced and each of Century and White Tiger will file material change reports within the prescribed period in respect of the Bridge Loans and the Business Combination. As each of the foregoing material change reports was and/or will be filed less than 21 days before funds were advanced under the Bridge Loans, there is a requirement under MI 61-101 to explain why the shorter period was reasonable or necessary in the circumstances. In the view of each of Century and White Tiger, such shorter period was reasonable and necessary in the circumstances because Century, as disclosed in its news release of March 8, 2011, is currently operating on a cash negative basis, with recent losses in mill throughput resulting from the failure of a crusher having had an adverse impact on Century's cash flow and its available funds. The Bridge Loans are intended to satisfy Century's short term cash requirements until closing of the Business Combination.

Words such as "may", "will", "should", "anticipate", "plan", "expect", "believe", "estimate" and similar terminology are used to identify forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. Such statements and information are based on assumptions, estimates, opinions and analysis made by management of each of White Tiger and Century (each, a "Company" and together, the "Companies") in light of their respective experience, current conditions and their expectations of future developments as well as other factors which they believe to be reasonable and relevant. Forward-looking statements and information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and information. Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to vary include but are not limited to: the conditional nature of the Business Combination, including the requirement for approval of the Business Combination by the shareholders of each of Century and White Tiger, the TSX, the TSX-V, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice as well as any required approval under the Investment Canada Act; changes in equity and debt markets; inflation; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed to complete exploration activities; exploration costs varying significantly from estimates; delays in the exploration and development of, and/or commercial production from, the properties in which the Companies have an interest; unexpected geological or hydrological conditions; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates; operational and technical difficulties, including the failure of major mining and/or milling equipment; the availability to the combined company of suitable financing alternatives; the ability of the combined company to service its existing debt facilities; fluctuations in gold and other commodity prices; the existence of undetected or unregistered interests or claims, whether in contract or in tort, over the property of the Companies; success of future exploration and development initiatives; competition; operating performance of facilities; environmental and safety risks, including increased regulatory burdens, seismic activity, weather and other natural phenomena; inability to, or delays in, obtaining necessary permits and approvals from government authorities; risks relating to labour; and other exploration, development and operating risks; changes to and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including environmental laws and obtaining requisite permits; political, economic and other risks arising from the combined company's activities in South America and Russia; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; as well as other risks and uncertainties which are more fully described in Century's annual and quarterly Management's Discussion and Analysis, in White Tiger's Annual Information Form dated December 29, 2010 and in other filings made by both Companies with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and available at www.sedar.com.

Although the Companies believe that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred mineral resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that mineral resources can be upgraded to mineral reserves through continued exploration.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
