Continental Receives Explorer of the Year Award at China Mining 2007

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: KMK)(OTCBB: KMKCF) announces that it has received the "Explorer of the Year Award" at the China Mining 2007 Conference in Beijing. The award, the most important one given at the conference, is awarded to an individual or company that has discovered a significant mineral deposit in a new or previously explored area, and is based on due diligence conducted by China's Ministry of Lands and Resources, the conference organizing committee, and it's international Advisory Committee.

Continental won the award for the discovery and development of the Xietongmen deposit in the Tibet Autonomous Region. The Company initiated exploration at Xietongmen in April 2005, and in two years outlined a large porphyry copper-gold-silver deposit with 220 million tonnes of mineral resources.

Continental has also completed a positive feasibility study for a 40,000 tonnes per day open pit operation at Xietongmen. The mine would have a 14 year life with an annual average production of 116 million pounds of copper, 190,000 ounces of gold and 1.73 million ounces of silver (see Continental News Release dated August 14, 2007). Continental is currently focused on completion of the environmental and socioeconomic assessment, advancement of its mining license application. The Company is also exploring other prospective targets on the property.

President and CEO Gerald Panneton said: "It is an honour to receive the Explorer of the Year Award for the Xietongmen deposit. This important discovery was the result of the hard work and commitment of the on-the ground team of project managers, geologists, technicians, and support staff as well as the engineering, environmental and community development specialists focused on developing a long-life, state of the art mine. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the people in the local communities, and those within the government and agencies, for their contribution and input."
