VANCOUVER, April 11 /CNW/ - PMI Gold Corporation ('PMI Gold' or 'the Company') (ASX: PVM) (TSX.V: PMV) advises that Mr. Douglas MacQuarrie has tendered his resignation as a
Director of the Company, effective immediately.

Mr. MacQuarrie stepped down from PMI Gold's Managing Director to
Director at the start of this year after the Company recruited highly
experienced mining executive, Mr. Collin Ellison, as Managing Director
and CEO to lead the development of the Company's advanced Obotan and
Kubi gold projects in Ghana, West Africa.

PMI Gold Chairman, Mr. Peter Buck, expressed his thanks to Mr.
MacQuarrie on behalf of the Company's Board and Management Team for his
significant contribution over several years, particularly in
identifying and securing the exploration tenements and gold deposits
which now underpin PMI Gold's development as an emerging West African
gold company.

'On behalf of my fellow Directors, we would like to thank Mr. MacQuarrie
for the hard work and substantial entrepreneurial effort he has put
into building the Company,' he said. 'Under the strong leadership of
Collin Ellison, I am confident that PMI Gold has a strong and capable
Board and Management Team in place to lead the development of the
Obotan and Kubi assets and unlock the potential of our extensive
exploration holdings in West Africa,' Mr Buck added.

On behalf of the Board,


Peter Buck


Chairman
