TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 6, 2008) - Pelangio Mines Inc. (TSX:PLG) ("Pelangio") has been advised by Detour Gold Corporation ("Detour Gold") that it has released drill results of 18 holes from the Calcite Zone of its Phase II drilling program at the Detour Lake property in northern Ontario. Detour Gold started Phase II drilling in July 2007 and thus far has completed 275 holes totaling 106,870 metres (including 16 holes abandoned totaling 1,377 metres).
Pelangio has a 44.6% equity interest in Detour Gold (20 million shares). Detour Gold issued a press release today, the verbatim text of which follows:
"Detour Gold Reports Wide Gold Intersections from the Calcite Zone of its Detour Lake Project in Northern Ontario, Canada (2.10 g/t over 76.0 m in DG-07-264 & 2.26 g/t over 69.0 m in DG-07-259)
Detour Gold Corporation (TSX:DGC) ("Detour Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report the drill results of 18 holes from the Calcite Zone of its Phase II drilling program at the Detour Lake property in northern Ontario. The Company started Phase II drilling in July 2007 and thus far has completed 275 holes totaling 106,870 metres (including 16 holes abandoned for 1,377 metres). The Company has now reported 139 holes totaling 47,781 metres (including 12 holes abandoned for 1,116 metres). There are four (4) active drill rigs on site.
The Calcite Zone continues to return positive drill results with higher gold grades than previously encountered. This significant mineralization intersected within the current US$575 pit shell will have a direct impact of further increasing the mineral resources and reducing the strip ratio. Today's results are showing excellent continuity of a wide mineralized zone (greater than 50 metres) that was previously intersected over a strike length of 160 metres in the center of the Calcite Zone (from 18,380E to 18,540E; refer to cross-sections posted on Detour Gold's website).
The best mineralized (uncut) intervals encountered are shown below.
