| September 05, 2007 Minco Gold Completes Drilling At Yuezhao Occurrence On Yangshan Project | |
| Minco Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Gold") (TSX:MMM/AMEX:MGH/FSE:MI5) announces assay results from the drill program conducted on its wholly-owned Yangshan Project located in southern Gansu Province in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The project is located in the western end of the Qinling Gold Belt and exhibits identical geology, structure, alteration, and mineralization to the nearby Anba Gold Project. The Yuezhao occurrence, which is located at the western end of the Yangshan Project area, previously identified significant strata-bound gold mineralization that was traced on surface for more than 1,000 metres. Continuous channel samples across the mineralized zone averaged up to 2.17 g/t Au over 11.0 metres. The drill program was designed to test the down dip extension of the known surface mineralization delineated in trenching. A total of 6 diamond drill holes for 1,740.7 metres were completed testing the strike length of the Yuezhao occurrence. The potential mineralized target horizon was intersected within each drill hole with 4 of the 6 holes returning assay values for gold. A table of meaningful results is provided below:
-------------------------------------------
Hole No. From To Drill Core Au
(m) (m) Intercept (m) (g/t)
-------------------------------------------
ZK0-1 185.00 190.00 5.00 1.93
ZK0-2 253.30 256.32 3.02 1.29
ZK15-1 NSR
ZK16-1 310.86 312.51 1.65 1.84
ZK32-1 NSR
ZK48-1 42.40 44.62 2.22 1.49
NSR -- No Significant Results
-------------------------------------------
True widths for the mineralized intersections are typically from 65 to 90% of the stated intercepts. Samples were prepared and assayed at Testing Center of Gansu Provincial Bureau of Non-Ferrous Geological Survey located in Tian Shui City, Gansu province, PRC. Gold was assayed with fire assay and AAS or gravimetric finish. Reference materials were inserted by Minco staff geologists as a further assay control. Check samples are currently being sent to PRA (Process Research Associated Ltd.) laboratories in Kunming, PRC. Minco Gold Chairman & CEO Dr. Ken Cai commented: "we are encouraged with the initial results, particularly the depth and strike length of the intersected alteration and associated mineralization when related to the overall geological setting. Currently, we are aggressively following up other significant geochemical anomalies in this very large project area within the highly prospective Qinling Gold Belt." The Company also wishes to announce that it has dropped the Anba Gold project from its portfolio. On January 31, 2007, Minco Gold announced that the Anba Gold project was deemed non-material and that the Company did not intend to perform any further work on the property. Minco Gold is focusing its exploration efforts in the region on the 13 wholly-owned projects on the Yangshan gold belt. This news release has been reviewed and approved for release by Mr. Dwayne Melrose, P. Geo, Vice President Exploration for Minco Gold and Qualified Person responsible for verification and quality assurance of the company's exploration data and analytical results.
