TORONTO, Ontario (September 16, 2008)
- Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V) ("Exploration" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that on September 15, 2008, it entered into an
option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with various vendors pursuant
to which it has been granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in (i)
the Moshkinabi property, comprising 14 claims, 110 units, 1,760
hectares, located in the Herbert and Roberta Townships of the Thunder
Bay Mining Division, Ontario (the "Moshkinabi Property"), and (ii) the
Fairies Lake and Rawluk properties, comprising 10 claims, 83 units and
1,328 hectares, located in Cecil Township of the Thunder Bay Mining
Division, Ontario (the "Fairies Properties").
The Moshkinabi Property is host to a poly-metallic nickel (Ni), copper
(Cu), platinum/palladium (Pt/Pd) rich massive sulphide unit hosted in a
metamorphosed suite of volcanics overlain by a sulphide rich ultramafic
unit, that can be traced along a strike of two kilometres. Grab samples
taken by the Company returned values of up to 3.9 g/t combined Pt/Pd
accompanied by up to 1% Cu and 0.2% Ni. All information at this stage
indicates good potential for both bulk tonnage Cu-PGM and massive
sulphide Ni-Cu type deposits.
The Fairies Properties are both host to Cu and gold massive sulphide
showings. The general setting and environment of the Fairies Properties
indicates good potential for massive sulphide deposits.
Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Exploration may acquire the
interest by making payments totaling $385,000 to the vendors, with such
payments to be made on specified dates within four years after the
execution of the Option Agreement.
