Mongolian Government to Initiate Review of the Gatsuurt Project Reserves
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- Nov. 27, 2007 - Centerra Gold Inc. (TSX: CG) announced today that it has received confirmation from the Government of Mongolia that it has initiated the review of the Gatsuurt Project reserves and feasibility study. This is the first step in the process that should pave the way for the negotiation of an Investment Agreement and the development of the Gatsuurt deposit. As previously disclosed, the Company intends to truck Gatsuurt ore to the Boroo processing facility where a new bio-oxidation circuit will be constructed to treat Gatsuurt ore.
"I am pleased that the Government of Mongolia has taken the first step on the road to permitting the development of the Gatsuurt deposit. This project is important not only to the Company but to the local communities in the Mandal and Bayangol Soums where we operate.
