Press Release - Centrasia Mining Corp. (TSX-V : CTM)
Centrasia Enters into Agreement to Acquire 90% Interest in Advanced Stage Molybdenum/Tungsten and Molybdenum/Copper Properties in Kazakhstan
May 29, 2006 8:51:00 AM


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Centrasia Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CTM)(OTCBB:CTMHF)(FWB:C8M) ("Centrasia") wishes to announce that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding to acquire a 90% interest in two advanced stage base metal properties in Kazakhstan for a cash payment of US$8,500,000. A deposit of US$850,000 must be made, the payment of which will be subject to the parties signing a formal agreement to replace the memorandum of understanding. The transaction will be subject to various conditions, including the entering into of the formal agreement, regulatory approval, a financing to pay for the purchase price, etc. In addition, a finders/success fee is payable.

Molybdenum/Tungsten Property

The Molybdenum/Tungsten Property is located about 170 km southwest of city of Kostenai, 750 km northwest of the capital city of Astana in northwestern Kazakhstan. The property is road accessible, there are 200 Kv and 500 Kv power lines within 10 kilometres of the property boundary, and a railway is approximately 27 kilometres away.

The northern portion of the property consists of two partially overlapping zones of mineralization, one tungsten rich and one molybdenum rich. The mineralization is hosted within highly altered, layered sediments that are intruded by dikes of diorite, aplite, and granite. Molybdenum occurs as molybdenite within the molybdenum rich zone. Where these two zones overlap, tungsten mineralization consists of scheelite and minor wolframite. Outside of the molybdenum rich zone, tungsten occurs primarily as wolframite. In general, mineralization occurs in layers parallel to the sedimentary bedding and in stockworks veins.

Over 200 drill holes have been completed on the property, 77 have been completed dating back to 1972. The overlapping molybdenum and tungsten zones have been drilled on 50x100 metre centres to an average depth of 200 metres. Average overburden thickness over the deposit is approximately 40 metres, consisting of saprolite and mixed clay, silt, sand and gravel.

In 1981, the Ministry of Geology of the Kazakh SSR calculated an historic mineral resource for the molybdenum/tungsten mineralized zone. The report did not specify a Soviet resource category for the estimate.

Ore ('000 Tonnes) Mo (%) Mo (Tonnes)
------------------------------------------------
36,617.7 0.120 43,979.5
------------------------------------------------
Note: Historic Resource Estimate - Non NI 43-101 Compliant


The historic resource estimate does not include the tungsten mineralization and only quotes a tonnage, grade and metal content for molybdenum. The resource is not NI 43-101 compliant and Centrasia regards this estimate as an historic resource of which the accuracy cannot be relied upon. However, the Company believes that the resource is a significant indication of the potential size and grade of the mineralized zone. Additionally, historical reports indicate that there is a significant zone of tungsten mineralization (WO3) that overlaps and extends beyond the molybdenum (Mo) resource area. A total of 11,787 analytical results were reviewed from the historic drilling to determine the range of WO3 results. Analytical results for WO3 returned values ranging from less than detection to 2.12% WO3. The Company feels the WO3 grades when modeled, may indicate that the WO3 within the historic Mo resource could be mined and recovered economically. Based on our review of the historic data, the
Molybdenum/Copper Deposit

The Molybdenum/Copper property is located about 100 km northwest of city of Kostenai, 750 km northwest of the capital city of Astana in northwestern Kazakhstan. The property is road accessible, a power line of unknown capacity crosses the property, and it is 15 kilometres from a railway.

Drilling of a molybdenum/copper mineralized zone was conducted in the early 1960's with some core drilling but mostly by a drill process using a hardened steel bit that got very poor recovery. The deposit was drilled on a 100m by 200m grid with a minor amount of closer spaced drilling on 50m intervals. Average overburden thickness over the zone is approximately 40 metres, consisting of saprolite and mixed clay, silt, sand and, gravel. Centrasia is currently reviewing the historic data and we are unable to confirm the number of drill holes at this time. The deposit is characterized as a porphyry molybdenum-copper system with associated skarn mineralization.

A Soviet report by the Ministry of Geology of the Kazakh SSR, dated 1965, reports a combined C1+C2 Soviet resource for the property based on a 0.05% Mo cutoff grade and drilling completed between 1963 and 1965. The C1 and C2 categories were not reported separately and no tonnage figure was reported, only metal contents and grade. The Company regards the estimate as an historic resource of which the accuracy cannot be relied upon. Although the resource is not NI 43-101 compliant, the Company does consider it as an indication of the potential grade and extent of the mineralization. The following metal content was reported.


------------------------------------------------
Metal Tonnes (metal) Grade (%)
------------------------------------------------
Molybdenum - Mo 114,200 0.105
------------------------------------------------
Copper (Cu) 66,000 0.67
------------------------------------------------
Note: Historic Resource Estimate - Non NI 43-101 Compliant

As with the Molybdenum/Tungsten project, it is the Company's intent to upgrade the historic resource to one that is NI 43-101 compliant.

Centrasia's President and C.E.O., Douglas Turnbull comments, "If we are successful in securing these properties, they will have a significant impact on our asset base. It is part of our ongoing efforts to acquire advanced assets for Centrasia and improve shareholder value. We will continue to pursue and are still in negotiations for the acquisition of additional precious, base metal and uranium projects."

Dr. William J. Tafuri, P. Geo., Centrasia's Vice-President Exploration and Director of Operations, Asia and a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101, was responsible for the collection and compilation of the technical information disclosed in this news release.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of CENTRASIA MINING CORP.
