Minco Provides Further Update on Plan of Arrangement

 Minco Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Gold") (TSX: MMM/Amex: MGH/FSE:MI5) is pleased to announce that the effective date for the completion of the Plan of Arrangement between Minco Gold, Minco Base Metals Corporation ("MBM") and 0791852 B.C. Ltd. ("Newco") will be November 15, 2007. The effective date is the date on which the Arrangement will become legally effective.

The record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders of Minco Gold who will be entitled to receive common shares of Newco pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement will be the same as the effective date, November 15, 2007 (the "Record Date"). Shareholders of Minco Gold as of the Record Date will be issued one common share of Newco for each five common shares of Minco Gold held. New share certificates representing the Newco common shares will be sent to shareholders on or about November 21, 2007. Certificates will not be issued for fractional shares. Fractions will be resolved by rounding down. Minco Gold's common shares will continue to trade on the TSX and AMEX under the symbols MMM and MGH, respectively. Complete details of the Plan of Arrangement are contained in Minco Gold's Information Circular (the "Circular") dated as of June 18, 2007 which is available for review on SEDAR.

Under the rules of the TSX and AMEX, respectively, Minco Gold common shares will commence trading "ex-dividend" with respect to the Newco shares to be distributed under the Arrangement on the opening of trading on November 13 on the TSX and on November 23 on AMEX. Accordingly, the last opportunity for investors to purchase Minco Gold shares in order to participate in the spin-out of Minco Base Metals will be immediately prior to the close of trading on November 12 on the TSX and immediately prior to the close of trading on November 21 on AMEX.

Due to the difference in "ex-dividend" dates between the AMEX and TSX markets, the AMEX will establish an ex-dividend market for Minco Gold shares under the symbol MGH.WI to coincide with ex-dividend trading on the TSX. Trades executed under the "ex-dividend" market will NOT carry due bills with respects to the spin-off of Newco. All deliveries of Minco Gold shares made after the Record Date in settlement of transactions made under the "regular way" market on the AMEX prior to the ex-dividend date will carry "due bills". The due bills will have the effect of transferring the right to receive a Newco share from the shareholder on the record date to the purchaser of Minco Gold shares who, at the time of the transaction, paid a "dividend on" price.

Minco Gold and Newco will be providing further updates and information to its shareholders in due course.
