New Guinea Gold Announcement-Drill Hole KVD025 Intersects 4.20m of 31.74g/t Gold in Kavursuki Zone, Sinivit Project, Papua New Guinea

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/19/11 -- New Guinea Gold Corporation ('NGG' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: NGG)(FRANKFURT: NG8) has received assay results from hole KVD025 at Kavursuki. From surface to a depth of 28.3m the mineralised zone averaged 5.79g/t gold within which there were several higher grade zones such as the 4.20m at 31.74g/t as quoted above. Complete assays are shown in the table below.

Hole KVD025 was drilled near the northern end of the Kavursuki zone to intersect the mineralisation below trenches 20 and 21 (see Figure 3, press release dated March 23, 2011). These trenches intersected 20m at 8.08g/t gold (including 4m at 20.35g/t gold) and 12m at 12.29g/t gold including 6m at 18.98g/t gold). The nearest drill hole to KVD025 is KVD009, approximately 25m north (intersected 5.25m at 8.18g/t gold, including 1.4m at 19.50g/t gold).

Bob McNeil, Acting CEO, commented: 'this is an exciting result and is the highest gold grade so far intersected in drill holes at Kavursuki. It further confirms the potential of this one kilometer long zone to the north of the Sinivit Mine to be equal to or exceed the original Sinivit Zone. Drilling is continuing.'

Drill core is logged and split (all by saw) on site with half core being dispatched to, and assayed by accredited laboratory ALS-Chemex in Townsville, Australia.
