TORONTO, Ontario, (September 24, 2009) -- Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commissioned a 7,500 metre drill program on the Company's property in Obuasi, Ghana (the "Obuasi Property"), which will be the first phase of an intended 27,500 metre program. The Company expects the program to commence by early-October.

The first phase drill program will focus on eight-kilometres of the Main Obuasi Mine Trend, particularly near the Mount Kate, East Copper and Boundary showings (see location of planned drill targets via the following link: 2009-09-24_NRM.pdf). Pelangio has identified numerous drill targets on the Main Obuasi Mine Trend through structural mapping, geophysical and geochemical surveying and prospecting. The Company will review assays received during the first phase program and optimize the 20,000 metre second phase program accordingly, with the intention to commence the second phase program in early 2010.
