| October 28, 2009 Minco Gold Advises of NYSE Notice of Continued Listing on the NYSE Amex Exchange | |
| Minco Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Gold") (TSX:MMM/NYSE Amex:MGH/FSE:MI5) Advised in a news release dated August 13, 2009 that on August 7, 2009 the Company received a notice from NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange") advising that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the Exchange as set out in the Exchange's company guide (the "Guide"). The main reason the Company did not meet the minimum requirements of net asset value is due to over C$9 million in acquisition and exploration costs expensed in the 2008 fiscal year under US General Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") on the Company's Changkeng gold project (the "Project") in the Guangdong province, China, and over C$ 2.5 million due on the payment for the exploration permit payable by other joint venture partners for the Project accrued as a loan payable on the Company's financial statements. The Company believes that, while these treatments may be what is required under both Canadian and US GAAP, they do not best reflect the potential economic value of this Project as the Company has defined a one million ounce gold resource on the Project. The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange and on September 4, 2009 and October 9, 2009 respectively, the Company presented its plan to the Exchange. On October 23, 2009 the Exchange notified the Company that it accepted the Company's plan of compliance and granted the Company an extension until February 8, 2010 to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Guide and until February 7, 2011 to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii), and 100(a)(iii) of the Guide. The Company will be subject to periodic review by Exchange staff during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the Exchange. The Company is working diligently to meet the schedule deadlines and to regain compliance with the Exchange's continued listing standards in due course.
