Investor Insight
Centurion Minerals offers early-stage exposure to the Limestone Gold Project in Suriname, located near Zijin Mining’s Rosebel Gold Mine within a well-established gold-producing region. Backed by the addition of Dennis LaPoint, part of the team behind the Merian gold discovery, the company combines a high-potential, underexplored land package with proven in-country expertise and a disciplined, discovery-driven exploration strategy.

Spanning 3,548 hectares, Limestone is located in a highly prospective region that hosts major gold deposits, including the nearby Rosebel mine operated by Zijin Mining. The project benefits from favorable logistics, with access via established transportation routes and proximity to Paramaribo, supporting efficient and cost-effective exploration.
Geologically, the project lies within the Marowijne Greenstone Belt, part of the prolific Guiana Shield, where structurally controlled orogenic gold systems have generated multiple multi-million-ounce deposits. Widespread artisanal mining across the concession highlights the presence of
gold while underscoring the opportunity for systematic exploration to unlock larger-scale mineralization.

Centurion is advancing a disciplined exploration strategy focused on data compilation, geological mapping and target generation to define high-priority drill targets. With the addition of Dennis LaPoint, who brings decades of Suriname experience and direct involvement in a major gold discovery, the company is uniquely positioned to execute on its exploration strategy and deliver discovery-driven growth.
Company Highlights
- Prime location in a proven gold district: Limestone is positioned near Rosebel and Saramacca, two of Suriname’s key producing gold mines.
- District-scale opportunity: The 3,548-hectare concession offers extensive exploration upside across a largely underexplored land package.
- Demonstrated gold mineralization: Active and historical artisanal mining confirms the presence of gold across multiple zones.
- Favorable geology: Situated within the Marowijne Greenstone Belt of the Guiana Shield, a globally recognized host of orogenic gold systems.
- Pathway to full ownership: Six-year option agreement provides a clear route to 100 percent project ownership.
- Proven discovery leadership: Addition of Dennis LaPoint, a key contributor to the Merian gold discovery, strengthens technical execution.
- Scalable growth strategy: Focused on expanding its footprint in Suriname through additional high-potential gold opportunities.
Key Project
Limestone Gold Project (Suriname)

The Limestone Gold Project is a 3,548-hectare concession located in one of Suriname’s most active gold regions, near the Rosebel and Saramacca mines operated by Zijin Mining.
Geological Setting & Potential
The project is situated within the Marowijne Greenstone Belt, a highly prospective geological terrane within the Guiana Shield known for hosting significant orogenic gold deposits. Structural and lithological similarities to nearby producing mines enhance the potential for new discoveries.

Exploration Upside
Extensive artisanal mining across the property confirms the presence of gold mineralization, while much of the concession remains underexplored using modern exploration techniques.
Centurion plans to advance the project through systematic exploration across multiple target areas, intending to define drill-ready targets and unlock district-scale discovery potential.
