Pelangio Mines Inc. (TSX: PLG) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") is pleased to report that today it has filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) an independent National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report on its Obuasi Property in Ghana. The report is also available on the Company's website.

SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. ("SRK"), the authors of the technical report, reported that the exploration results on the property to date are of sufficient merit to recommend an exploration program including geochemical and geophysical surveys and approximately 12,000 metres of reverse circulation and core drilling. The recommended work program is subdivided into two consecutive work phases. The first phase includes additional mapping, soil sampling and airborne geophysical data interpretation to define selected targets, followed by trenching and approximately 4,000 metres of reverse circulation and core drilling. The second phase, which is partly contingent on results of the first phase, comprises an airborne geophysical survey over the rest of the concessions followed by trenching and drilling. The total costs for the recommended work program are estimated at approximately $2.9 million.
