| New Guinea Exploration Update |
| VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 3, 2009) - New Guinea Gold (TSX VENTURE:NGG)(FRANKFURT:NG8) has announced plans for additional exploration on four of its key projects.: - At Imwauna, on Normanby Island, the Company plans to drill an additional 10,000 metres in 2009. There is currently one diamond core rig on site, a second will be added in April and a third in June. In June '08, New Guinea Gold announced an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.8 million tonnes at 12.2 g/t gold and 20 g/t silver for contained metal of 706,000 ozs gold and 1,160,000 ozs silver has been estimated for the Imwauna Project. New Guinea Gold is conducting a Preliminary Assessment and subject to a positive result from that study, mine construction could commence in late 2010 with a possible gold production of the order of 50,000 to 100,000 ozs/year in 2011. The resource is likely to be largely open pittable. The viability of this possible production including the capital cost of the project, will be indicated in the Preliminary Assessment. - At the Weioko gold project, located 12 km NE of Imwauna, NGG is drilling 10 shallow holes expected to total 600 to 1000 metres. - At Mt Penck (NGG 50 Vangold 50%) 1500 metres of drilling is planned commencing in April, with results available by June. Mt Penck is an eroded strata-volcano with gold mineralization associated with an intrusive complex. More than 80 holes have been completed totalling 6000 metres have been completed. - Allemata, (NGG 50 Vangold 50%) up to 1000 metres of drilling is planned, beginning in April. Two gold prospects lie within this historic goldfield and to date, 17 holes totalling over 2000 meters plus 2 kms of bulldozer trenches have been completed. - Detailed geological summaries of Weioko, Mt Penck, and Allemata are being prepared for release.
