VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/11/11 -- New Guinea Gold Corporation ('NGG' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: NGG)(FRANKFURT: NG8) announces that the agreement between NGG, New Guinea Gold Limited ('NGGL'), Gold Anomaly Limited and Anomaly Limited for the sale and purchase of NGGL's 10% carried interest in EL 1115, EL 1353 and EL 1384 has now lapsed. NGGL will retain its 10% carried interest in these exploration licences, which continues through until Bankable Feasibility Stage.
