TORONTO, Ontario, (September 2, 2009)
- Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that the optionor in respect of Pelangio's Meduma
concession in Obuasi, Ghana (the "Meduma Concession"), has agreed to the
postponement until December 19, 2009 of the first payment and share
issuance to acquire the 49% of the Meduma Concession that the Company
does not already own. The Meduma Concession comprises approximately 20%
of Pelangio's exploration property in Obuasi, Ghana (the "Obuasi
Property"). Together with the extension received on the Kyereboso #2
and #3 concessions (announced June 5, 2009), the Company has now
received extensions on all of the concessions composing the Obuasi
Property.
"This extension is just another example of the exemplary working
relationship that we have with the optionors of our Obuasi Property,"
stated Ingrid Hibbard, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Pelangio. "This extension will be of great benefit to our fall drilling
program, which we intend to commence early in the fourth quarter of
this year." Ms. Hibbard continued, "We commend the management of Adansi
Gold Mines Limited, for their business acumen and understanding of our
exploration plans for the Meduma Concession."
The applicable option agreement had required aggregate payments and
share issuances of US$150,000 and 1.2 million common shares of the
Company on or before June 19, 2009. These payments and share issuances
will now be made on or before December 19, 2009. The postponement does
not affect the payment date in respect of the second and third payments,
which are scheduled to be made on or before June 19, 2010 and June 19,
2011, respectively. Copies of the option agreement and amending
agreement are available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com.
