        intersections including 1.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 61
        metres (SFDD-079);
    --  10 holes totaling 1,610 metres at Pokukrom West to follow up on
        intersections including 8.0 g/t gold over 12 metres (SPDD-083), 8.6

Pelangio has confirmed four discoveries on the Manfo Property since announcing its option on the property in early August 2010. Drilling to date has focused on an approximately 10 square kilometre area, though many other targets have been identified or are currently being delineated elsewhere on the property. The Sika North target, for example, located approximately 3.5 kilometres north of Pokukrom West, comprises three separate anomalies contourable at up to 100 ppb gold measuring 200, 400 and 375 metres along strike, respectively. Additionally, the Company has interpreted a 10 kilometre trend of widely spaced anomalies from geochemical and geophysical surveying approximately two kilometres northwest of the drilling completed to date. Geochemical samples were collected on the trend at 800-metre intervals with the results appearing to be related along strike. Further sampling at closer spacing will be conducted in the near future to define the target anomalies for drilling.

The Company has also retained Geotech Airborne Limited to conduct an airborne electromagnetic, radiometric and magnetic geophysical survey (the 'Airborne Survey') of the Manfo Property comprising approximately 1,200 line kilometres at 100-metre spacing. The Airborne Survey will be used in connection with further geochemical surveying to identify areas of prospective gold mineralization on the property, which may be the targets of further drilling during 2011. The Company expects the Airborne Survey to be completed by the end of October 2010.
