Pelangio Exploration Acquires 100% of the Manfo Gold Property

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/01/11 -- Pelangio Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PX) ('Pelangio' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in the 100 km(2) Manfo Property in Ghana (subject to the Government of Ghana's legislated 10% carried interest upon commencement of mining operations). The Company recently completed the final payment and granted the applicable royalties under the option agreements in respect of the Manfo Property. Subject to the approval of the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources of the Republic of Ghana, title to the Manfo Property will be transferred to Pelangio in due course.

'In less than one year on the Manfo Property, we have made four new, near surface discoveries, both high grade and bulk tonnage,' stated Ingrid Hibbard, President and Chief Executive Officer. 'We have an aggressive drilling program planned for the next 12 months that is designed to expand the identified zones along strike and at depth and discover new zones as we move towards completing an initial resource estimate on the property during 2012. The Manfo Property continues to prove itself as a company-maker and we plan to build on this asset during the coming year.'
