Pelangio Mines Inc. (TSX: PLG) ("Pelangio") would like to congratulate the Detour Gold team on its excellent ongoing work on the Detour Lake property in northern Ontario. Detour Gold has increased the measured and indicated resources on the project by 125% (from 4.8 million ounces to 10.8 million ounces of gold), with a further 2.5 million ounces of gold in the inferred category.

"Gerald Panneton's team at Detour Gold has once again exceeded our expectations in increasing the mineral resources at the Detour Lake project and proving that the deposit continues to hold significant upside potential," stated Ingrid Hibbard, Pelangio's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Detour Gold's excellent work to date has significantly increased the value of our investment and we intend to continue holding our investment as the project moves towards development and production."
