| April 25, 2007 Minco Gold Appoints Dwayne Melrose as VP Exploration | |||||
| Minco Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Gold") (MMM-TSX/MGH-AMEX) is pleased announce the appointment of Mr. Dwayne Melrose to the position of Vice President, Exploration, for the Minco Group of companies effective May 1st, 2007. He will be based in Beijing and act as designated Qualified Person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 for the Company's projects in China. Mr. Melrose is a graduate of the University Of Waterloo, Ontario, with over 25 years experience as an exploration and mine geologist. He has been involved in all aspects of exploration from grass roots, through mine definition & feasibility, to open pit mine geology. Mr. Melrose has worked for the Cameco/Centerra Gold companies in the exploration departments for the past 21 years. During his tenure, he has had the opportunity to work within Canada, the United States, Kazakhstan, and the Kyrgyz Republic. Mr. Melrose was the Exploration Manager at the Kumtor Mine in the Kyrgyz Republic for the past 9 years where he was directly responsible for significantly increasing the gold reserves and resources by 4 million ounces and extending the mine life. The Kumtor Mine lies about 60 kilometres north of the border with the Peoples Republic of China and is part of the southern Tien Shan Metallogenic Belt; a major suture that traverses Central Asia from Uzbekistan in the west through Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic into northwestern China. It is the largest gold mine operated in Central Asia by a Western-based company, having produced more than 5.5 million ounces of gold between 1997 and the end of 2005. Mr. Melrose was instrumental in discovering the new, high grade open pittable SB Zone, delineating 2 open pittable satellite deposits, and advancing the underground gold resource potential of the SB Zone by 1.8 million ounce. Mr. Melrose's exploration skills and experience will greatly benefit Minco Gold as the company re-commissions the past producing Gold Bull Mountain mine, seeks out additional ore bodies within the Gold Bull Mountain exploration license, and continues to advance its many gold projects.
