Central Sun Provides Update on 2007 Exploration Program in Nicaragua & Outlines Plans for 2008
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 10, 2007) - Central Sun Mining Inc. (the "Company")(TSX:CSM)(TSX:CSM.WT)(AMEX:SMC) is pleased to provide an update on results of the 2007 exploration program and to outline the strategy for exploration in 2008. In 2007, Diamond drilling was completed at the Orosi Mine (formerly Libertad), Limon Mine and Mestiza projects. Exploration results in 2007 were previously reported in a press release dated February 27, 2007.

Peter Tagliamonte, President & CEO commented: "With the restructuring and refinancing of Central Sun Mining now complete, we are embarking on a very aggressive exploration program in 2008 to significantly expand resources at our Orosi and Limon mine, further explore the Mestiza project located 70 km east of Limon as well as evaluate our extensive property holdings in these areas. The exploration program budgeted at CDN$7 million will include 25,000+m of Diamond drilling with drilling to commence in early January 2008."

Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., Executive Vice President, Exploration said: "Planning for the 2008 program is well advanced. Drilling will initially commence in the Limon mine area where six major target areas have already been defined. Induced polarization geophysical surveys are planned on the potential eastern extension of Orosi along with geological mapping and trenching to define drill targets on this extensive structure. Drilling here is scheduled to start in April after the target definition work is completed. Geological work including data compilation is already in progress on Mestiza and some of the other regional targets; targets outlined here will be drill tested later in the year. We have assembled a very strong exploration team in Nicaragua and we have excellent logistical support from our mining personnel."

Dr. Pearson went on to add: "The low sulphidation epithermal systems that host gold mineralization in Nicaragua are much stronger and more extensive than is generally realized. A major objective of the 2008 program will be to evaluate the potential of the full extent of the systems and in particular to better understand the controls on the higher grade mineralization."

2007 Exploration Results

Orosi Mine

The in-fill Diamond drilling program conducted at the Orosi Mine to upgrade inferred mineral resources to the indicated mineral resource category has been successfully completed. The new drill results are being incorporated into an updated mineral resource estimate being prepared by Scott Wilson RPA, Inc. ("Scott Wilson") as part of the Orosi Mine Mill feasibility study currently in progress. The in-fill drilling program comprised of 94 holes totaling 9,509 metres including one metallurgical hole (DDH15M) and was completed over an eight month period. Holes were drilled on 25 m sections with intercepted intervals at less than 60 m apart on section to a vertical depth of 60-90 m. Some exploration drilling was also completed to test the eastern extension of the main deposit structure (Mojon-Santa Elena) as well an additional vein structure (Cuernos de Oro), located 1.2 km north of the Mojon pit.

Table 1A below lists significant drilling results in the Orosi mine area and Table 1B gives collar coordinate and orientation data for the holes. Highlights are as follows:


  Santa Maria
    - 6.82 g Au/t (3.73 cut) over 4.0 m true width in DDH39
    - 71.13 g Au/t (10.03 cut) over 2.8 m true width in DDH43
    - 5.26 g Au/t over 11.6 m true width in DDH59
    - 15.02 g Au/t over 9.6 m true width in DDH60
    - 11.93 g Au/t (8.42 cut) over 10.4 m true width in DDH61
    - 18.33 g Au/t (14.06 cut) over 8.2 m true width in DDH67
    - 6.12 g Au/t over 4.4 m true width in DDH88

  Mojon
    - 2.42 g Au/t over 10.6 m true width in DDH73
    - 3.94 g Au/t over 23.0 m true width in DDH74

  Santa Elena
    - 24.45 g Au/t (9.54 cut) over 1.7 m true width in DDH84
    - 2.32 g Au/t over 10.9 m true width in DDH86
    - 5.68 g Au/t over 14.0 m true width in DDH87
 
Drilling continues to confirm the presence of Bonanza-style higher grade mineralization within the more extensive lower grade mineralization. The vein structures on the Orosi property which covers 14,496 ha extend for approximately 20 km along strike with the vast bulk of previous exploration concentrated in the mine area that extends for about 2 km.

Limon Mine

An extensive underground in-fill Diamond drilling in the Talavera zone totaling 4,830 metres in 41 holes was completed over the past six months. Holes were collared at 25 m spacing and intersected targets at intervals of less than 60 m apart vertically to a depth of 30 m. Table 2A below lists significant results and Table 2B lists collar coordinates and orientation data. These drill results are being incorporated into an updated mineral resource and reserve estimate for the mine. Highlights are as follows:


    - 6.92 g Au/t over 3.2 m true width in 3376-U
    - 6.24 g Au/t over 2.3 m true width in 3377-U
    - 11.47 g Au/t over 2.0 m true width in 3378-U
    - 6.72 g Au/t over 1.9 m true width in 3380-U
    - 8.99 g Au/t over 2.5 m true width in 3381-U
    - 14.27 g Au/t over 2.2 m true width in 3385-U
    - 7.58 g Au/t over 5.9 m true width in 3389-U
    - 6.24 g Au/t over 6.6 m true width in 3392-U
    - 6.36 g Au/t over 1.8 m true width in 3401-U
    - 8.05 g Au/t over 5.2 m true width in 3405-U
    - 5.04 g Au/t over 3.1 m true width in 3406-U
    - 8.21 g Au/t over 1.7 m true width in 3407-U
    - 7.11 g Au/t over 2.6 m true width in 3413-U
 
A Diamond drilling program of 6 holes totaling 783 m tested the north-south extension of the El Limon zone located about 2.0 km northeast of Talavera. Table 2A below lists significant results and Table 2B lists collar coordinates and orientation data. Highlights are as follows:


    - 4.53 g Au/t over 6.4 m true width in 3395
    - 4.22 g Au/t over 3 m true width in 3399
 
Mestiza Project

The Mestiza project is located 70 kilometres east of the Limon Mine. As previously reported (Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006) Mestiza contains an inferred mineral resource of 689,700 tonnes grading 10.3 g Au/t containing 228,000 oz of gold. In 2007, a trench sampling program along a 600 m strike length of the vein and three (3) drill holes totaling 619 m were completed before the program was terminated due to financial constraints. The Mestiza prospect is part of the La India district that covers an area of 6,500 hectares and is underlain by a sequence of mid Tertiary volcanic rocks that host rock several low sulfidation, epithermal gold-bearing quartz veins of different thicknesses and attitudes.


Significant trenching results are as follows:

Further work is planned on Mestiza in 2008 including induced polarization surveys to better define areas of mineralization within the vein structures and to look for areas where multiple vein structures may be present.

Sampling, Assaying and Quality Control

The core is logged, photographed and then sampled with half the core retained and stored on-site. Samples are taken as half of the sawn core that varies in size from HQ (63.5 mm) for metallurgical holes to NQ (47.6 mm) for the other drill holes. All core samples were prepared and assayed at either the Company's Limon Mine or its Orosi Mine laboratories.

Both the Limon and Libertad mine laboratories use normal industry procedures. The entire half-core samples were crushed to pass 10-mesh-size sieve, a 1/4 split was then pulverized to have greater than 90% pass the 200-mesh-sized sieve to produce a 100 gram homogenized sub-sample. A one-assay ton aliquot (a 29.2 gram sub-sample) is used for fire assaying with an atomic absorption (AA) or gravimetric finish to determine gold concentration. Internal quality control includes the use of blanks, duplicates and standards in every batch of samples. The Company also conducts internal check assaying. Regular external check assays are performed at a certified Canadian commercial laboratory.
