| March 31, 2009 Minco Gold: Advises Late Filing Of Regulatory Documents | |
Minco Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Gold") (TSX:MMM/NYSE Amex:MGH/FSE:MI5) advises that it will be delaying the filing of its annual audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") and related CEO and CFO certifications for the year ending December 31, 2008 beyond the statutory deadline of March 31, 2009. The Company's failure to file its financial statements and MD&A on time is a result a number of problems encountered with a related party company, Minco Silver Corporation, whose financial results significantly impact Minco Gold's financial results because Minco Gold is required under GAAP to record an equity pick up in Minco Gold's financial statements. Specifically Minco Silver encountered the application of a change in an accounting policy creating a technically challenging problem for the Company's public accounting firm and did not receive approval from their auditors adopting this change in accounting policy until the evening of March 30, 2009. As a result Minco Gold was unable to complete its consolidate working papers and financial statements until receipt of Minco Silver Corporation's financial results. The Company anticipates filing its annual audited financial statements and MD&A and related CEO and CFO certifications on or before Thursday April 2, 2009.
