| | January 30, 2007, Vancouver, BC - Gerald S. Panneton, President and CEO of Continental Minerals Corporation (TSX Venture: KMK; OTCBB: KMKCF) announces that Continental has reached agreements in principle to privately place approximately 12.1 million units in its capital at a price of Cdn$1.65 per equity unit for gross proceeds of Cdn$20 million to a number of accredited investors. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase an additional common share at a price of Cdn$1.80 for a one year period from completion of the financing. The warrants are subject to accelerated expiration which can be triggered at the election of Continental on 30 days notice if Continental's common shares trade at a price of $Cdn2.25 for any ten consecutive day period after the four month hold period has expired. The financing is currently subject to execution of definitive agreements and TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, both of which are expected in the ordinary course. The securities will be subject to a four month hold period in the principal Canadian jurisdictions.
