Sinivit - 380 Ounces Gold Dore Poured Early December - 13 December, 2007

Vancouver – 13th December, 2007. New Guinea Gold Corporation (“NGG” or the “Company”) advises that the first commercial gold pour was completed in the first week of December.  380 ozs of gold dore was poured and based on assays of previous pours, this dore is expected to contain approximately 300 ozs gold.

Vat 1 continues to leach efficiently but process optimization is expected to continue in to the first quarter of 2008.  A further four carbon columns should be loaded by the end of December (and contain approximately 400 ozs of dore) and will be stripped in early January.

Leaching is approximately 2 to 3 weeks behind schedule due to staff shortages and disruption caused by the death of Mine Manager Jim Farley (see Press Release dated 3rd December for his replacement).

Leaching was initially run on a 12 hour/day basis, but this has now moved to a 24 hour/day operation which will increase the rate of gold leaching from the Vat.  In our release of 29th November 2007 it was predicted that 500-700ozs would be available by early December – this will now be achieved at the end of December with the additional gold poured in early January.

Vat 2 is now expected to commence leaching in January.  At that stage approximately 30,000 tonnes of gold mineralisation will be leaching (as against 6,000 at present) which should result in a major increase in gold poured in February 2008.  To achieve the projected gold production rate of 3,000ozs/month it is estimated that approximately 40,000 tonnes of mineralisation will need to be undergoing leaching.  This is projected to be achieved in March 2008.  The above projections are subject to normal weather conditions at site – significant rain above normal rainfall could delay Vat construction.

Because of the nature of the topography, vats will increase in size after Vat 3 is completed as further vats will ultimately be built over Vat 1 and Vat 2.  These Vats will be larger due to a widening of the valley above Vat 1 and Vat 2, as elevation is increased.

Actual onsite costs at the Sinivit Mine in October, excluding executive management based in Australia, were PNG Kina 1.22 million or approximately US$450,000. Preliminary November costs suggest these costs will be similar to October costs.  Administrative costs attributable to Sinivit incurred in the Australian and Vancouver Offices are estimated to add 10% to the above total. These costs are estimated to remain stable for January and could increase by approximately 10% when production of 3,000 ozs/month is achieved.

Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves.  There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. 

Full details of the Sinivit Project are described in an Independent N1 43-101 report dated January 2006 which is available at www.newguineagold.ca .
The company's Vancouver office will be closed for the Christmas/New Year holiday break from Dec. 22, 2007, to Jan. 2, 2008. The Papua New Guinea mining and production operations will also be shut down from Dec. 22, 2007, to Jan. 8, 2008.

Commercial Gold Production at Sinivit and Imwauna System Extended - 29 November, 2007

Vancouver –   November 29, 2007.      New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") advises that the first gold sales were realized during the third quarter 2007 from the plant commissioning process at the Sinivit Mine.  Commercial production has now commenced.

Drill intersections at the Imwauna Project (Normanby Property) extended the known length of the vein system by 300m to the north. 

Corporate restructuring is well advanced with the release of a prospectus for Coppermoly Ltd (Simuku and Mt Nakru properties) with the Australian Stock Exchange. The filing of a draft prospectus for Pacific Kanon Gold Corp. (“PKG”) including NI 43-101 reports for the PKG properties has been lodged with the TSX Venture Exchange and BCSC respectively.

SINIVIT MINE (92% NGG)

The first gold sales were realized during the third quarter during plant commissioning from Vats 1A and 1C. These were small vats constructed specifically for commissioning. Approximately 130 ozs were produced and sold.

Commercial production has commenced and the first commercial vat, Vat 1, is filled with ore and leaching is in progress. Leaching is proceeding well with two carbon columns loaded and solution grades into the columns of the order of 10g/t gold. More than 1,000 ozs gold is expected to be leached from this vat over the next two months, with 500-700 ozs available by early December.  The second commercial vat, Vat 2 will contain approximately 21,000 tonnes of ore, and leaching should commence in the near future. Vat 3 is under construction and should be completed in January. Average monthly production will gradually increase to 3,000ozs/month.  Further details are available in NGG’s Management Discussion & Analysis for the period to September 30th, 2007 and for a detailed description of the Sinivit. Gold Project refer to the Independent NI 43-101 report dated January 30th 2006, filed on Sedar and on the company’s web site at www.newguineagold.ca


Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.


Exploration with two company owned drill rigs is proceeding at Sinivit to convert existing inferred resources to a higher category and to define additional resources at depth and along strike.

IMWAUNA PROJECT (Normanby Property – 100% NGG)

Drilling, using two company owned diamond core rigs has continued at Imwauna with 120 holes now completed.

Holes IMH102 to IMH104 were drilled approximately 300 metres north of all previous drill holes and have confirmed that the Imwauna structure extends at least to this location.  Although the intersections were relatively narrow, the results are encouraging.

Bob McNeil CEO/Chairman commented: “As the Imwauna system has shown, by earlier drilling, to be very variable in grade and thickness, there is a good chance that significant high grade shoots, such as the southern Imwauna high grade zone, will be defined in this section. Drilling is continuing. Deeper holes are also planned to test the depth extension of the previously reported high gold intersection of 5.6m at 36.2g/t gold, including 0.4m at 438g/t gold in the southern part of the Imwauna System.”

Approximately 85% of the potentially mineralised area at Imwauna, based on geochemistry surveys and surface trenching, remains to be tested by drilling.

All drill holes are diamond core holes. Samples are half core, cut on site and then dispatched to accredited laboratory ALS – Chemex in Townsville, Australia for preparation and assay. 

CORPORATE RESTRUCTURE
The Corporate restructure referred to in previous press releases is proceeding.  This restructuring is to include financing of  the six Kanon Resources Ltd. projects , owned with JV Partner Vangold Resources Ltd.  The Kanon properties are to be listed on the TXS Venture Exchange as Pacific Kanon Gold.

The Company’s two copper-gold-molybdenum properties, Mt Nakru - 75% NGG, 25% Vangold,  and Simuku - 90% NGG, 10% W.S. Yeaman,  will be listed in Australia as Coppermoly Ltd.  NGG would retain a major equity in each new public company after a prospectus financing or IPO.

The reason that the Company favors this form of financing is that under the Company’s present financial arrangements the properties in question cannot meet their full potential. Each property has substantial gold and/or copper-molybdenum defined in drill hole and trench and increased exploration expenditure may define a major resource or resources.  An IPO allows the Company and/or its shareholders to substantially increase the rate of exploration, realize the potential of the properties, and increase shareholder value.
A prospectus has already issued in Australia for the Coppermoly IPO and that company is expected to list on the ASX on December 19th, 2007.
A draft prospectus for the Pacific Kanon Gold IPO and relevant NI 43-101 reports have been lodged with the TSX Venture  Exchange and the BCSC respectively.  Discussion of comments by the regulatory authorities is underway and the shareholders will be informed when these are finalized.

Additional detail is available in the Management Discussion & Analysis as filed on Sedar on 29th November 2007.

McNeil, CEO of New Guinea Gold Corporation.  Mr McNeil has an MSc in Geology, 47 years mining industry experience, is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and meets the requirements of NI 43-101 for a qualified person.

Bob McNeil, CEO and Chairman commented: “these seven holes were drilled to extend our knowledge of the disseminated gold/silver Weioko system with holes drilled peripheral to previous drill holes and to test above a geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly approximately 500m north and 200m east of the previously drilled Weioko gold mineralisation.  The Weioko prospect is part of a five square km area with extensive and numerous soil gold and arsenic geochemical anomalies and several IP anomalies.  The present results are certainly encouraging as they continue to expand our knowledge of this large disseminated and vein gold system, however comprehensive drill testing to define an NI 43-101 resource is unlikely to commence until later in 2008 as cash flow funds become available from the Sinivit Mine.”

 

Background

 

The Weioko gold project is a key Company gold project, is part of the Sehulea Property (NGG – 100%) which is situated on Normanby Island in Milne Bay Province and adjoins the Normanby Property which contains the Imwauna Project.  For details of all drill results, geology etc refer to the NI 43-101 report at www.newguineagold.ca .  To date 29 Reverse Circulation holes and 23 Diamond Core holes have defined extensive gold mineralisation to depths of up to 100m over an area of 400m by 200m.  No current NI 43-101 resource has been estimated but such a resource may be available late in 2008.

 

The key points which make this property attractive are:

 

  • Disseminated and vein style mineralisation known from drill holes, trenching, geochemical and geophysical surveys over an area of 5 sq kms.
  • Drill results such as 28m at 2.1g/t gold, 14m at 4.56g/t gold, 21m at 3.6g/t gold, 1.6m at 14.2g/t gold.
  • Diamond saw cut sampled trench results such as 164m at 4.0g/t gold and 16m at 20.3g/t gold.
  • Excellent access near coast, airstrip at Sehulea and near the key Company gold project at Imwauna.

New Guinea Gold Transfers Two Copper Projects to Coppermoly Ltd - 26 October, 2007

Vancouver  - October 26, 2007.                New Guinea Gold Corporation (the “Company”) is pleased to report that, in keeping with its stated objectives to focus on gold production and exploration, specifically Sinivit in East New Britain, and the Normanby and Sehulea properties on Normanby Island, that the Company has transferred two copper properties (Simuku and Mt Nakru) to a newly formed Australian Company known as Coppermoly Ltd,  (“Coppermoly”). Coppermoly is undertaking an Initial Public Offering in Australia and has lodged a prospectus with ASIC, the Australian regulatory authority, and is expected to list on the Australian Stock Exchange (see www.asx.com.au)  at the end of this year.

The IPO for Coppermoly Ltd is sponsored by Australian Brokers, Novus Capital and South Pacific Securities and London broker VSA Capital.  This prospectus has been issued for the purposes of offering up to 80,000,000 shares at AUD$0.25 each and to raise up to AUD $20 million before costs.

Company Chairman and CEO Robert McNeil who has joined the Coppermoly Board as non-executive Chairman commented: “this is a step in the Company’s ongoing strategy to develop its extensive inventory of mining properties in PNG without the necessity of shareholder dilution to the Company while, at the same time, maintaining the Company’s primary focus on its gold production and gold assets, and securing shareholder and Company exposure to potential upside value as a result of further exploration efforts on these properties”.

The Company has been issued 29,473,683 shares in Coppermoly and has a further indirect interest in 10,526,316 shares issued to Pacific Kanon Gold Corporation, giving it an effective, approximate, 27% interest in Coppermoly after the IPO.

As stated above, the Simuku and Mt Nakru copper/molybdenum properties have been divested to Coppermoly (www.coppermoly.com.au) to allow the Company to focus on development of its gold assets.  The divested properties have merit as copper/molybdenum prospects and are ultimately expected to contribute to the Company’s balance sheet through its shareholding in Coppermoly.

All drill holes are Reverse Circulation. Samples are bulked in two metre intervals, partially prepared on site by splitting to approximately 4 kgs in weight each, then dispatched to accredited laboratory ALS – Chemex in Townsville, Australia for further preparation and assay.

Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.

The technical data in this release was prepared by or under the supervision of Robert D. McNeil, CEO of New Guinea Gold Corporation.  Mr McNeil has an MSc in Geology, 45 years mining industry experience, is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and meets the requirements of NI 43-101 for a qualified person.

20% Increase in Gold Content of Sinivit Gold Dore as Confirmed by Assay - 14 September, 2007

Vancouver – 14th September, 2007.       New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") reports that  assay results of the gold dore reported in Press Release dated 7th September 2007 have increased the gold content of the dore by approximately 20% from 60% of the dore to just under 73% of the dore.

The gold content of the dore was originally estimated at 2,119g.  This has been increased after assay by 445g to 2,564g (approximately 82 ozs).  A further payment of PNG Kina 27,364.35 has been received, taking the total payment for this initial gold sale (after all buyer costs) to approximately PNG Kina 158,000.00, or approximately CAD$62,000.00.

Bob McNeil, CEO and Chairman commented:  “This is a pleasing result and although the total payment or gold sale is still relatively small, this initial gold is only the result of leaching from two small vats from the plant commissioning stage.  Commercial production has now commenced with the mining of, and loading into Vat 1 (first commercial vat) of high grade gold mineralisation recently defined (see Press Released dated 13th August 2007) in grade control drilling within the confines of the southern oxide pit. Further drill results are expected to be released in the near future.”

Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.

Pacific Kanon Gold Corp. Files Preliminary Prospectus - 10 September, 2007

September 10, 2007 - Vancouver, BC – New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG").  The Boards of joint venture partners New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG") and VAN are pleased to announce that their jointly controlled company, Pacific Kanon Gold Corp. ("PKG"), filed a preliminary prospectus on August 31, 2007, in connection with its public offering (the "Offering").  NGG and VAN each hold half of a 90% equity interest in PKG.  The Offering will be conducted through PKG's agent, Bolder Investment Partners, Ltd. (the "Agent") and will consist of a minimum of 17,500,000 units (the "Units") and up to a maximum of 25,000,000 Units at a price of $0.40 per Unit to purchasers resident in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario.  Each Unit is comprised of one common share (the "Shares") of PKG and one-half of a transferable share purchase warrant, a whole such warrant (a "Warrant") entitling the holder to purchase one common share (the "Warrant Shares") of PKG at a price of $0.50 per Warrant Share for a period of 12 month following the issue of the Units, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events.  The Offering is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory and TSX Venture Exchange approval. The preliminary prospectus may be viewed at www.sedar.com.

PKG will use the proceeds of the Offering, following the payment of all fees and costs associated with the Offering, to fund exploration programs on five gold projects and one copper-gold project in Papua New Guinea.  Under the terms of a previous share purchase agreement, PKG purchased all the shares of Kanon Resources Ltd. ("KRL"), a Papua New Guinea company holding interests in the six projects.  Several of the projects are considered to be in advanced stage of exploration, having gold and copper mineralization already defined in drill holes or trenches.  The properties are referred to as Mt. Penck, Bismarck, Yup River, Fergusson, Allemata and Mt. Nakru.  Mt. Penck (owned 80%  KRL and 20% NGG) is the most advanced exploration property and the material property of the Offering.

Bob McNeil, Chairman and CEO of NGG and Dal Byrnelsen, President and CEO of Vangold commented:  “The Mt Penck property is the key property at present in the KRL and ultimately the PKG portfolios and an exploration program to define a NI 43-101 resource will re-commence as soon as financing arrangements are completed.  We would also like to highlight for shareholders that very high grade gold results were recently announced in a hand dug trench in a previously relatively unexplored part of Mt Penck property.  This trench, which is partly along strike of the mineralised zone returned 24m at 34g/t gold including a 3m interval which averaged 180g/t gold.  Mt Penck is a very exciting property”.

New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") reports that all aspects of the commissioning of the Sinivit mine have been successfully completed and expects to move to full production of approximately 3,000 ozs gold/month later in the fall. 3.65kg of dore (includes gold, silver and slag) were poured after stripping of current gold on carbon. It is expected that this dore is approximately 60% gold or about 2.2 kg of gold.

The initial gold was produced from two small commissioning Vats, Vats 1A and 1C. Vat 1C is still leaching with gold being adsorbed in the carbon columns. A further pour is expected in the near future.

The initial dore was sold to Italpreziosi South Pacific Ltd, as is, based on an initial estimate of contained gold of 2119g for PNG Kina 130,324 or approximately CDN $52,000. A further payment is expected if assay checks confirm that the above estimate underestimates the actual gold content. Although this is a relatively small payment, it is a significant milestone in the history of NGG. The Company expects to become cash flow positive by year end.

Commercial Scale Production

Larger scale production will commence in the near future at Vat 1, the first of the production vats which has now been completed and lined. See photos below. Blasting, mining and crushing of high grade ore (see recent Press Releases for drill assay results of this zone) is well advanced. Vat 1 (approximately five times the size of the existing vat 1A) is to be filled with leaching of gold expected to commence within three weeks. Vat 1, illustrated in photos below, showing the lining of the vat, as completed, with the people providing an indication of the size of the vat. Construction of Vat 2 (approximately 20 times the size of the original vats) is completed and lining is now commencing. Construction of Vat 3 (see also below) has commenced.

Sinivit Vats

Sinivit Exploration

In regard to current drilling, both the RC rig and diamond core rig are drilling ahead. Some hundreds of samples are currently awaiting compilation or assay and will be released as compilation of each batch is completed.

A brief description of the Sinivit operation is as follows:

The process from mining to production of gold bars is as follows:

Gold mineralisation is mined by open pit methods and crushed to less than 10mm. Prior to mining the mineralisation to be mined is defined by R.C. or blast hole drill holes so that gold mineralisation can be separated from waste. Mining, grade control and crushing have all been successfully commissioned.

  • The crushed gold mineralisation is placed in double (high density plastic) lined and covered vats and soaked in a high PH and weak cyanide solution. The cyanide dissolves the gold over a period of months with approximately 50% of the recoverable gold passing into solution in the first two weeks. In the longer term it is envisaged that two or more vats will be leaching at the same time. The leaching is working satisfactorily.
  • The gold in leach solution (pregnant leachate) is pumped through steel columns loaded with activated carbon. The gold adsorps to the carbon. This has been successfully achieved.
  • The gold is then re-dissolved or stripped from the carbon in an “elution circuit”, electrowon onto steel wool, which is then smelted to produce a gold dore bar. The stripping solution is a high temperature (100 degrees) caustic solution containing cyanide. After some problems and modifications the elution circuit has now been commissioned subsequent to the end of the quarter.
  • After a gold dore bar is produced (a mixture of gold, silver, slag and other metals), the dore is shipped to a gold refinery for sale or production of high purity gold and then sale.

Vats 1A and 1C were small vats constructed to facilitate plant commissioning. Leaching of Vat 1C continues but Vat 1A has now been incorporated into the new larger Vat 1. Vat 1A contained approximately 1,600 tonnes of low grade mineralisation and Vat 1C approximately 3,500 tonnes of low grade mineralisation.

Leaching is currently proceeding to expectations and gold is being adsorbed on to carbon in the carbon columns. Actual recovery rates from the vats appear to be as predicted and the leaching circuit is operating satisfactorily. A review of the operation by an independent expert at the end of the last quarter concluded that, with additional earthmoving equipment (now on site), there was no impediment to achieving full production in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.

Fall Roadshow to Commence

RD McNeil, Chairman and CEO will travel to Singapore 11th and 12th September presenting NGG at Mine Exploration and Investment Asia, (www.ibc-asia.com). Thereafter Mr. McNeil will travel to London, Toronto and Vancouver to meet with investors.

Note: True thickness of intersections is uncertain but likely to be between 70 & 100% of the intersected length.

The above holes are fill-in holes in the central part of the Imwauna Vein system between the northern and southern high-grade zones.  The results are essentially as expected and prove continuity of the system, albeit over narrower and/or lower grade vein widths.

Drilling has been slow over the past two months due to equipment breakdown and the need to train additional drillers (resulting in only one shift on each drill rig).  These problems have been rectified and the drills are now drilling ahead on hole IMH108 and at Ebessowa.  Drilling is now testing a new zone some 500m North of most northerly previously drilled holes. Deep drill holes beneath the Imwauna system will be scheduled in the near future.

The second drill has completed five holes at the Ebessowa vein system, approximately one kilometre north of the Imwauna system.  Results are pending.

Eight holes have been completed at the Weioko prospect, Sehulea Property adjacent to Imwauna and results will be released when they have all been received.  Half core from four holes was delayed in transit to the laboratory, and final assays are not expected for four weeks.

Samples are generally one metre, or sampled on a geological basis, one half core prepared on site using a diamond saw. Preparation and assaying was completed at accredited laboratory ASL-Chemex in Townsville, Australia.

Sinivit Drilling Records Further Gold Results To 89.8 g/t - 13 August, 2007

August 13th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") reports that  further drilling within and adjacent to the resource at Sinivit continues to define both good gold grades and continuity to the mineralisation.  Eighty one holes have now been completed.

In addition to gold, several holes intersected significant copper, such as 2m at 1.68% copper in hole 56; 4m at 1.8% copper in hole 60; 2m at 2.62% copper in hole 66; 6m at 2.68% in hole 72.  These copper intersections contain 0.6 to 13g/t gold but the higher gold grades generally contain only low copper (less than 100ppm).  The significance of the copper for the longer term future of the Sinivit mine will not be confirmed until deeper drilling is completed.

The highlights of the gold intersections are shown below with all results and hole data in Tables 1 and 2.

Mr Bob McNeil CEO of NGG commented: “These results are as expected and continue to confirm both the grade and continuity to the gold mineralisation at Sinivit.  Some of the holes were drilled to define the boundary of the gold mineralisation and were not expected to contain significant gold.  The significant copper may prove a substantial bonus in the future if or when mining proceeds to mine and process the gold sulphide mineralisation at depth.  In the short term high grade copper mineralisation of up to 6m at 2.68%copper and 3.03g/t gold will be stockpiled.  Further drill results are expected in the near future. The Sinivit mine continues as planned with good gold leaching from Vat 1C.  The next, larger, vat will commence processing in the near future. ”

Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves.  There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized.

Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.

First Gold Pour at Sinivit - 7 July, 2007

July 7th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC.   New Guinea Gold (NGG:TSX-V) is pleased to announce that the first gold dore bar has been poured at the Sinivit gold mine in Papua New Guinea. The pour is shown in the photograph below or see the Company’s web site newguineagold.ca

Bob McNeil, Chairman and  CEO states:  “I’m pleased to report that all aspects of the mining and processing circuit at the Sinivit Mine have now been commissioned.  Over the next several months, the various circuits will be fine tuned, with gold production gradually increasing to an expected annualised production rate of 35,000 ozs gold by October 2007.  In the meantime, the Company is continuing  exploration activities on Sinivit as well as other of its key properties, with the objective of increasing  gold resources”. 

First Gold Pour at SinivitGold production and other mine statistics will be issued quarterly commencing with the end of the September quarter.

Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.

First Gold Pour at Sinivit Delayed Several Weeks - Press Release - 05 June, 2007

June 5th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") reports that the vat leach and gold recovery to activated carbon has been successfully commissioned, but mechanical problems with the elution circuit prevented the first gold pour being completed last week. Leaching of gold from the vat, and adsorption of gold to carbon in carbon columns is continuing, but gold is now unlikely to be produced in dore bar form for several weeks.

In the meantime, the inventory of gold will continue to build within the carbon columns.

The process from mining to production of gold bars is as follows:

  • Gold mineralisation is mined by open pit methods and crushed to less than 10mm. Prior to mining the mineralisation to be mined is defined by R.C. or blast hole drill holes so that gold mineralisation can be separated from waste. Mining, grade control and crushing have all been successfully commissioned
  • The crushed gold mineralisation is placed in double (high density plastic) lined vats and soaked in a high PH and weak cyanide solution. The cyanide dissolves the gold over a period of months with approximately 50% of the recoverable gold passing into solution in the first two weeks. The initial Vat, 1A, has been successfully commissioned with more than 50% of the expected recoverable gold either in solution or precipitated to carbon in the carbon column. Vat 1C will be filled and leaching will commence in the near future. Crushed ore is already stockpiled to fill this vat. In the longer term it is envisaged that two or more vats will be leaching at the same time.
  • The gold in leach solution (pregnant leachate) is pumped through steel columns loaded with activated carbon. The gold adsorps to the carbon. This has been successfully achieved.
  • The gold is then redissolved or stripped from the carbon in an "elution circuit", electrowon onto steel wool, which is then smelted to produce a gold dore bar. The stripping solution is a high temperature (100 degrees) caustic solution containing cyanide. During the current stripping of the carbon the seals failed on the pumps. Seals were replaced and further failed after a few hours necessitating the shut down of the elution plant. The pumps were apparently supplied with incorrect seals and until the correct seals are obtained stripping cannot resume.
  • After a gold dore bar is produced (a mixture of gold, silver and other metals), the dore is shipped to a gold refinery for final production of high purity gold.

Mr McNeil CEO and Chairman of NGG commented "although disappointing in that we did not achieve a gold pour by the end of May, the breakdown in the elution circuit should only be temporary and in the meantime gold inventory is continuing to build up on carbon in the carbon columns. Gold production and cash flow in the longer term should not be affected".

The development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.

Imwauna Drilling Intersects Grades to 21.3g/t Gold & 61g/t Silver - Press Release - 15 May, 2007

May 15th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) reports further drill results from its 100% owned Imwauna Project within the Normanby Property in Papua New Guinea. All results above a cut-off of 0.5g/t gold are shown in the table below.

Assay results have been received from diamond drill holes IMD095 to IMD097 inclusive. Hole IMD104 is now in progress and results are awaited for holes IMD098 to IMD103. Of particular significance are the multiple intersections in hole IMD095 collared in the south of the project including 1.0m at 8.40g/t gold and 27g/t silver between 32.6 and 33.6m; 1.10m at 9.05g/t gold and 20g/t silver between 108.3m and 109.4m and 4.6m at 6.44g/t gold between 111.3m and 115.9m including 1.0m at 21.3g/t gold and 15.5g/t silver.

Generally, narrow, high grade zones were intersected in drill holes IMD096 and IMD097 collared in the centre of the prospect area. Results include 0.20m at 15.65g/t gold and 61g/t silver from 68.70m to 68.90m and 0.20m at 10.95g/t gold and 10g/t silver from 90.60m to 90.80m in IMD096. Drilling has shown that even such narrow intervals of high grade are significant as these zones can rapidly increase in width along strike or to depth.

Diamond drilling with the second core rig has been completed at the adjacent Weioko prospect on the Sehulea Property, Normanby Island, and is being mobilised to the Normanby Property to increase the drilling capability at that project. Drilling with this second rig will focus on exploratory holes to test prospects such as Ebessowa to the north of Imwauna (see map at www.newguineagold.ca), the Imwauna system at depth and further along strike to the south. These exploration holes will allow an Inferred Resource for the system to be estimated in addition to Indicated and Measured Resources based on the detailed drilling completed to date.

Summary assay results and drill collar location data for drill holes IMD095 to IMD097 inclusive is given in the following tables.

Drilling at Sinivit 8m at 28.42g/t gold & 12m at 8.43g/t gold / First Gold Pour Expected Later this Month - Press Release - 14 May, 2007

May 14th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") reports that the remaining results from the initial grade control program continued to define additional high grade gold within the confines of the southern oxide pit at Sinivit. The Sinivit project is in East New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea, and NGG has an effective 92% interest.

Hole SGC0053, drilled on line 9846N, is particularly significant, with an intersection of 8m at 28.42g/t gold. In the resource estimate the original holes on section 9845N gave results of 4m at 9.41g/t gold, 2m at 1.03g/t gold, 4m at 1.8g/t gold and 5m at 2.65g/t gold. The new intersection compliments previously announced intersections on line 9840N of 12m at 25.66g/t gold and 10m at 9.l88g/t gold and confirms that the grade control drilling has intersected a high grade gold zone which was not defined in the original resource drilling (see www.newguineagold.ca for resource sections).

The drilling program, in total, covered a strike length of approximately 100m and included 68 reverse circulation (RC) holes each drilled to 30m depth and sampled at 2m intervals.

The RC drill has been stood down for the past month due to mechanical problems. These have been rectified and a second program to the north of this present program will commence in the near future.

Diamond core drilling has commenced to test the deeper limits of the proposed central oxide pit. The first hole has been completed, sampled and dispatched to the assay laboratory.

All results from drill holes are listed below, complete any assay results, and hole location data are given in the Appendix.

Samples are partially prepared on site by splitting to approximately four kilograms in weight, then dispatched to accredited laboratory ALS-Chemex in Townsville, Australia for further preparation and assay.

Construction of the second vat (1B) at Sinivit is almost complete and sufficient crushed ore is stockpiled to fill this vat in the near future. The first gold pour from processing of gold mineralisation in Vat 1A is programmed for the last week of May.

Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves.

New Guinea Gold Announces Start of Processing at Sinivit - 30 April, 2007

April 30th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG" or the "Company") announces that mining and processing of gold mineralization from the Sinivit Mine has commenced. Project development has been completed at site and initial process plant commissioning commenced in April 2007 with first gold pour expected in May 2007. Vat 1A is full and processing is underway - mineralisation remains in vat for several weeks until gold is dissolved and the gold is then precipitated onto activated carbon, further processed by electrowinning and gold dore is finally recovered after smelting in a furnace. Vat 1B is expected to be filled in May 2007 from stockpiled, crushed mineralisation

Production is expected to gradually increase over the next six months to a monthly gold rate of approximately 3,000 ozs (35,000 ozs on an annual basis; see Press Release dated 31 January 2006).

Bob McNeil CEO/Chairman has just returned from a five day visit to site. During this period the Papua New Guinea Chief Mining Engineer, Mr Howard Lole and the Corporate Relations Manager for the Bank of South Pacific Mr Ron McDonald also visited the site. Mt McNeil stated "Mining has commenced from the Northern oxide pit. The crushing circuit is operating above expectations and crushed ore is presently being stockpiled to allow Vats 1B and Vat 1 to be filled as soon as they are completed. Stripping of waste is well advanced in several parts of the southern oxide pit and mining of gold mineralisation in this pit will commence in the near future. Vat construction will continue now throughout the life of the mine, with Vat 1B being filled and processed in late May, followed by Vat 1 in June or July. Initial mineralisation to the vats is expected to grade approximately 3g/t to 4g/t gold with the higher grades announced recently (Press Release dated 5th April 2007) being accessed in the third and fourth quarters of 2007. Lower grades are used in the initial vats and processing to ensure all aspects of the processing circuit are operating satisfactorily.

Infrastructure, office and accommodation is now complete with approximately 90 persons resident on site. The contractor's mining equipment and maintenance facility is operating satisfactorily.

In summary Mr McNeil said: "I am pleased with the progress at site, and to be able to report that the project is moving ahead as expected. We have a dedicated and supportive work force at site and I take this opportunity to thank them for their support during the construction phase."

Current photo's of site operations as at 18th April are shown below:

More photo's will be displayed on the web site under Sinivit Project, at www.newguineagold.ca later this week.

Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Drilling Sinivit 18m at 22.60g/t gold, 12m at 25.66g/t gold and 19m at 19.02g/t gold - Production to Begin in April - 5 April, 2007

April 5th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG") continues to define high grade, near surface gold, at the Sinivit Project, Papua New Guinea. NGG has an effective 92% interest in the Project.

Gold assays have been received for the initial program of grade control drilling completed within and across the Southern Oxide Pit area at Sinivit. Assays have been received from fifty-nine reverse circulation drill holes, each approximately 30m in length, that were completed along drill section lines spaced approximately six metres apart.

The drilling program covers a strike length of approximately 100 metres extending from 9780N through to 9876N. The better results are summarised below:

Complete assay results and hole location data for all 59 holes are attached as an appendix.

Bob McNeil CEO of NGG stated: "These results are quite exciting and much higher than results from earlier resource definition drilling. They correspond to the sub-surface extensions of trench results, such as 13m at 13.5g/t gold, released on 15th February 2007. The new drill results represent the best drill results encountered at Sinivit and all are near surface. These drill results correspond with original resource drilling results illustrated on Resource Outline Sections 9822N, 9845N, and 9864N (see sections under Sinivit Project, www.newguineagold.ca). There appears to be several times the amount of gold present in the new drill holes than in the original resource drill holes. For example the original intersections used on the resource estimate on Section 9845N were: 4m at 9.41g/t gold, 2m at 1.03g/t gold, 4m at 1.8g/t gold and 5m at 2.65g/t gold. The new intersections on Section line 9840N included 12m at 25.66g/t gold and 10m at 9.88g/t gold. All intersections on these lines are shown in the appendix. On section 9864N the best result in the original drilling was 14m at 9.75g/t gold whereas in this phase of drilling 19m at 19.02g/t gold was intersected.

Of the two trenches completed at the central and northern zones, the central zone width of 30m at 2.54g/t gold is particularly encouraging.

The high grade oxide gold mineralisation confirmed by the drilling will be accessed during the start up of open pit mining at the southern oxide zone, allowing early treatment of high grade gold mineralisation".

The grade control trench data are as follows:

Reverse circulation drilling continues to progress satisfactorily in the northern area of the Southern Oxide Pit. Approximately forty holes with an average hole depth of thirty metres remain to be completed.

All samples are partly prepared with initial crushing and splitting down to 500 grams at site with further preparation and analysis at accredited ALS Chemex laboratories in Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

Initial gold production at Sinivit is expected to begin later this month.
Investors are cautioned that the development of Sinivit is proceeding in the absence of a full feasibility study. These evaluations are preliminary in nature and are based entirely on indicated mineral resources, which have not been categorized as mineral reserves. There is no assurance that the operating and financial projections in the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Measured and indicated mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource of which quantity and grade can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. An inferred mineral resource for which quantity and grade can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified.

Imwauna Drilling Intersects Grades to 44.5g/t gold & 86g/t silver over 1.4m - Press Release - 26 March 2007

March 26th , 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold (NGG) reports further drill results from its 100% owned Imwauna Project within the Normanby Property. All results above a cut-off of 0.5g/t gold are shown in the table below.

Intersections ranged from 1.4m at 44.5g/t gold and 86g/t silver within a 3.8m zone averaging 21.2g/t gold and 44g/t silver, to wider intervals of moderate grade such as 4.6m at 9.5g/t gold and 15g/t gold, to narrow low grade intervals such as 0.5m at 1.65g/t gold and 1g/t silver.

Of particular significance are the multiple intersections in hole IMD 094 of 4.6m at 0.5g/t gold and 15g/t silver between 9.1 and 13.7m downhole; 1.7m at 13.36g/t gold and 16g/t silver between 34.4 and 36.1m downhole, and 0.5m at 15.5g/t gold and 29g/t silver between 64.7 and 65.2m downhole. These multiple intersections suggest that some earlier holes were terminated prematurely and did not test the entire mineralised zone. Hole IMD 092 was terminated prematurely due to operational reasons and may not have fully tested the target zone. These results continue to add to our knowledge of the Imwauna mineralised zone. Overall the results are as expected with continued wide variations in grade and width along strike and to depth. Experience has now shown that even narrow intervals of high grade such as the 0.5m at 15.5g/t between 64.7 and 65.2m in IMD094; and 0.2m at 34.3g/t between 153.2 and 153.4m downhole in IMD087 are significant as these zones can rapidly increase in width along strike or to depth.

A second diamond core drill has now been mobilised to Normanby Island. After completing several holes at the adjacent Weioko prospect on the Sehulea Property this drill will move to Imwauna to increase the drilling capability at that project. In addition a new 14 tonne excavator has been mobilised to Imwauna to commence exploratory trenching outside and beyond the drilled area at Imwauna. Exploration such as soil geochemistry, CSAMT geophysics and aeromagnetics suggests that mineralisation is present over an area of 4km by 2km (see map on our web site at www.newguineagold.ca) and the area tested by drilling to date at Imwauna represents less than 10% of the potentially mineralised area at surface. The Imwauna system is as yet essentially unknown at depths of more than 100m.

Future drilling at Imwauna will focus on exploratory holes to test the system at depth and further along strike. These exploration holes will allow an inferred resource for the system to be estimated in addition to possible indicated and measured resources based on the detailed drilling completed to date.

Development / Exploration Update - Press Release - 26 February 2007

February 26th , 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) reports on development and exploration and wishes advise that Chariman, Bob McNeil will be available at the Prospectors and Developers Conference in Toronto on March 6 and 7 at booth number B2631.

Sinivit Project (92% NGG)

The project continues to progress towards commencement of processing and gold extraction. The initial vats will be filled in mid March with commissioning of the production circuit and gold production to commence in early April.

It is expected to take three months from commencement of commissioning to build up to achieve the projected annualised production rate of 35,000 ozs gold.

All major equipment is on site, key personnel are at site, all permits such as cyanide use, licensing of explosive magazine etc are in place and infrastructure and roads are essentially complete. The final shipment of key chemicals used in gold extraction is expected at site in early March 2007.

Grade control drilling is well advanced with excellent initial results from bulldozer trenching of the mineralised zone after stripping of surface waste (see Press Release dated 15th February 2007). Trench results included 13m at 13.59g/t gold (with a high 1m at 90g/t). This confirmed that gold previously intersected in drill holes extends to the present surface.

Exploration drilling to increase the total resource at Sinivit has commenced and will continue throughout 2007.

Imwauna Project (Normanby Property - 100% NGG)

Resource drilling continued throughout 2006 with 96 holes now completed in the present program (about 110 holes total). Ten holes are currently awaiting assay (some 1500 samples) and the first of these results should be available in the near future.

The extent and grade of Imwauna mineralisation continues to improve in some parts of the system.

New Guinea Gold had previously disclosed historical resource estimates for this project based on 15 drill holes. While management considers these earlier estimates important, investors are cautioned that historic resource estimates cannot be relied upon until they have been verified by a NI 43-101 compliant technical report.

92 holes have now intersected the potential mineralised zone. These 92 holes have 380m of intersections above 0.5g/t gold giving an average composite downhole intersection per drill hole of 4.13m at 8g/t gold and 15.4g/t silver. The strike length of system defined at surface and in drill hole is 1200m (still open ended) and the mineralisation is defined over a vertical extent of 300m. The above figures are indicative only of the possible grade in a potential open pit and any resources still need to be verified by a compliant NI 43-101 report.

An experienced resource geologist and project manager, Jack Drzymulski took up his appointment at Alotau (Provincial Capital of Milne Bay Province, PNG) at the beginning of January. Jack has been charged with providing data to the Independent Qualified Person such that a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate can be provided by mid 2007.

The mineralised zone at Imwauna which has been drilled to date represents 10-15% of the potential mineralised area as defined by surface trenching, soil gold geochemistry and geophysical surveys.

Mt Penck (60% NGG)

Drilling continued at the Mt Penck Project throughout 2006 and defined widespread gold mineralisation at Kavola East. Typical intersections were 23m at 2.3g/t gold, 20m at 2.1g/t gold, 4m at 18.7g/t gold and 4m at 8.0g/t gold. The Kavola East system appears to be developing as a significant gold mineralised system at a grade of approximately 2g/t gold.

Recent trenching has defined two new prospects at Mt Penck named Peni Creek and Kavola South.

At Peni Creek, hand trenching defined high grade zones with best results of 3m at 180g/t gold within a 24m zone at 33.7g/t gold.

The drill rig at Mt Penck is being shipped to Feni for the Feni drill program. A new drill is being purchased and will arrive on site in several months. In the meantime further trenching will be carried out and an NI 43-101 resource estimate will be initiated.

Simuku Project (90% NGG - 10% S. Yeaman)

Drilling at the Simuku porphyry copper/ gold/ molybdenum project has confirmed the presence of significant molybdenum mineralisation. Two drill holes were completed (for complete results see Press Release dated 6th February 2007) with summary intersections as follows:

  • SMD014 - 19m, from surface to 19m downhole, at 0.32% molybdenum (3.2% copper equivalent), including 7m at 0.6% molybdenum (6.0% copper equivalent).
  • SMD014 - 59m from surface to 59m downhole at 1.4% copper equivalent.
  • SMD013 - 71m, from surface to 71m downhole, at 0.5% copper equivalent.

Copper equivalents are the combined value of copper, molybdenum and silver. They are important at Simuku as the project has credits in copper, molybdenum, gold and silver. Copper equivalents were calculated using current metal prices of US$2.50/lb for copper, US$25/lb for molybdenum and US$13.3/oz for silver. Gold is also a credit in parts of the Simuku system, but is not present in significant amounts in the present drill holes.

Drill holes SMD013 and SMD014 were drilled to 70.8m and 100.1m respectively to test a zone of molybdenum mineralisation defined in trench (73m at 0.17% molybdenum).

Further work at Simuku is pending subject to the Corporate restructuring below:

Yup River (50% NGG)

Rock chip and grid soil sampling located a 5 meter wide zone of bedrock mineralisation grading 2.47 g/t gold within a large gold soil anomaly at Dauri Prospect within the Yup River tenement.

The 5m wide rock chip anomaly is derived from a single 5m composite chip sample and represents the first significant bedrock gold mineralisation discovered in the Yup River tenement. The enclosing gold soil anomaly has rough dimensions of 1200m by 300-450m and is open to the northeast. Nearby subordinate soil anomalies are present adjacent to the main anomaly that together define a large gold-anomalous area that contains at least four targets for follow up pitting, trenching and drilling. Soil samples were collected by hand augering to depths of 0.5m to 1.0m at 25m spacing along lines spaced 100m apart. The soil anomaly locations are shown in the press release dated February 12th 2007.

The soil values are rather erratic reflecting the coarse, crystalline nature of the gold at Yup River. Several plus 1.0 g/t gold values in soil are present up to a peak of 6.46 g/t gold.

Feni Project (NGG residual interest 25% subject to sole funding by Vangold Resources)

Vangold Resources will fund a 2000m drilling program (about $600,000) at the Feni Project commencing March/April 2007 (see Press Release dated 5th February 2007).

Corporate Restructuring

NGG is involved in mineral exploration and development on 12 projects in Papua New Guinea. Restructuring, which involves "spinning off" two new public companies in order to permit a substantial increase in exploration) on projects in those companies. This will allow New Guinea Gold to focus on its core projects - Sinivit, Imwauna /Normanby and Weioko /Sehulea.

The spin off companies are expected to be PNG private company Kanon Resources Ltd (owned 50/50 by NGG and Vangold) and NGG's two porphyry copper / gold / molybdenum properties of Simuku (90%) and Mt Nakru (75%).

Work is proceeding on the spin-offs, including creating new companies, preparation of 43-101 compliant reports on all the properties, and getting regulatory approval for the structure. It is expected that the spin-off process will not be completed until the third quarter of 2007.

3m at 180g/t Gold (6 ozs) within 24m at 33.7g/t Gold in Trench at Mt Penck - News Release - 21 February 2007

February 21st , 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. Recent trenching at the Mt Penck Project in Papua New Guinea has confirmed two significant new gold mineralised zones at Upper Peni Creek and Kavola South. Upper Peni Creek is 300m west of Kavola East, where most of the 2006 drilling was concentrated, and Kavola South is 100m south of Kavola East. The trenches are hand dug trenches and were dug to gain some idea of the lateral extent of gold grades along strike. The trenches were dug approximately parallel to the strike of the high grade "core" of both zones.

The Mt Penck Property is beneficially owned 60% New Guinea Gold and 40% Vangold Resources.

Upper Peni Creek Zone

Separate trench intersections above 0.5g/t gold cutoff include:

24m at 33.7g/t gold, including 12m at 62.93g/t gold, including 3m at 180g/t gold
12m at 4.07g/t gold
33m at 1.73g/t gold
18m at 1.82g/t gold
12m at 0.88g/t gold

Check assays of some sample pulps have been carried out that confirm gold values. Additional checks of the sample preparation rejects are now in progress.

The above results indicate an average grade for all samples above 0.5g/t gold cutoff of 9.68g/t gold. The average grade for all samples is 8.66g/t gold.

Upper Peni Creek was initially discovered in 2005 by surface channel sampling of outcropping siliceous vein/breccia that returned historical assay results of 1m at 38.2g/t gold (see press release dated 18 November 2006). However, the result was not followed up at the time and the zone was not recognized as a new target until late 2006.

Two initial scout holes, MPD 036 and MPD 037, were drilled in late 2006, before the trench results were available. MPD036 intersected 4m at 5.71g/t gold from 22m to 26m downhole, including 1m at 13.3g/t gold, 120g/t silver and 0.17% copper. This hole was drilled below the historic chip sample of 1m at 38.2g/t gold. Hole MPD037 intersected four 1m to 2m intervals grading up to 2.85g/t gold and 24.3g/t silver to a depth of 68m downhole. All results above a 0.5g/t gold cut off are listed in the table below.

Kavola South Zone

Separate trench intersections above 0.5g/t gold cutoff include:

30m at 4.42g/t gold
48m at 4.01g/t gold
24m at 2.82g/t gold
12m at 1.49g/t gold

The nearest drill hole to the Kavola South Zone is MPD 038 located 160m to the east. This hole intersected 4m at 1.13g/t gold from 44m to 48m downhole.

Mr McNeil CEO of NGG commented: "These are exciting trench results and the 3m at 180g/t gold represents the highest grades ever encountered at Mt Penck. The Peni Creek and Kavola South Zones appear to be separate mineralised zones from Kavola East, and the grades in trench make these highly attractive drill targets. At this stage the lateral and strike extent of both zones are unknown but surface observations suggest the very high grade zones have restricted widths of approximately one metre".

Kavola East Zone

Final assay results from the 2007 drilling program have now been received for holes MPD 030, 034 and 035. Scattered intersections over 1m to 2m intervals are present in MPD 030 and 034 to depths of 132 metres downhole. The best intersection was 1m at 3.34g/t gold, 10.3g/t silver and 0.33% copper from 88m to 89m downhole in MPD 034. Hole MPD 035 was drilled to the west outside the main Kavola East Zone and confirms that the Kavola East mineralisation is probably terminated by a fault along it's western side.

It should be noted that only about 30% of the total geochemically anomalous area at Mt Penck has been tested by drilling. All drill results above a 0.5g/t gold cut off are listed in the following table:

Mount Nakru Project

Assay results for three shallow holes at Mt Nakru, EL 1043, West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea have now been received. NAK 010, 011 and 012 were drilled to a maximum depth of 76.5m downhole in late 2006 to test for near-surface gold mineralisation beneath a trench intersection of 55m grading 4.79g/t gold, including 15m at 16.01g/t gold (see press release dated March 27, 2006). Because of terrain limitations, the holes were collared 35 metres from the trench intersection and were designed to intersect the mineralised zone at depths of 30-50m. No zones above 0.5g/t gold were intersected in any of the holes.

Narrow 1m to 2m intersections of plus 0.1% copper were present in all three holes, up to 1m at 0.4% copper in NAK 010 at 73m downhole. The zone is now being re-assessed to attempt to explain the lack of gold in the drill holes.

The Mt Nakru Property is beneficially owned 75% New Guinea Gold and 25% Vangold Resources Ltd.

All samples are sawed, half core samples which are logged and photographed on site before sampling. Assaying was completed at accredited laboratory ALS-Chemex in Townsville, Australia.

NGG is also in the process of developing the Sinivit Property (see NI 43-101 Report dated 30th January 2006). In addition NGG has a comprehensive drilling program in place for 2007 to define gold resources at other key gold properties, Normanby (Imwauna) and Sehulea (Weioko).

13m at 13.5g/t Gold & 13.8m at 10.74g/t Gold (high of 1m at 90.2g/t Gold) in Trench at Sinivit - News Release - 15 February 2007

Additional drill results from Imwauna and Mt Penck pending

February 15th , 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) has defined extensive high grade gold at surface in trenches at the Sinivit Project.

As an initial part of the grade control program at Sinivit, three bulldozed trenches totaling approximately 220m were constructed across the southern part of the southern oxide zone in late 2006.

The above intervals use a nominal 0.5%g/t gold cut off. True widths of intersections are not known.

Mr McNeil, CEO of NGG commented: "The results are significant in that they confirm wide intervals of moderate to high grade gold at surface that can be easily accessed during the start up phase of open pit mining. The trenches indicate good continuity in the gold mineralisation and that gold mineralisation previously intersected in drill holes extends to the surface"

Grade control drilling is continuing on a program basis with Reverse Circulation holes being completed on a semi-regular pattern to depths of 30m across the proposed southern oxide pit. Forty holes of a planned 100 hole program have been completed, samples partly prepared on site and dispatched to ALS Chemex Laboratory in Queensland Australia. Results should be available in approximately 3 weeks

Some mining has commenced on the basis of the above results and a complete update on Sinivit including scheduling to gold production is expected to be released by the end of February. Consultants are presently at the project site working with mine management to initiate plant and processing commissioning and finalise the schedule.

Further drill and trench results from the Mt Penck project have been recovered and are presently being assessed. Releases on these results and approximately 1,500 drill core samples from the Imwauna project will be filed in the next few weeks.

All trench samples at Sinivit are channel samples, partly prepared with initial crushing and splitting to 3kg samples at site, with further preparation and analysis at accredited laboratory ALS - Chemex in Townsville, Australia.

NGG is in the process of developing the Sinivit Property (see NI 43-101 Report dated 30th January 2006). In addition NGG has a comprehensive drilling program in place for 2007 to define gold resources at other key gold properties, Normanby (Imwauna), Mt Penck, and Sehulea (Weioko). Drilling will also commence at Feni in the near future.

Significant Bedrock Gold Mineralisation Discovered within a Large Gold Soil Anomaly at Yup River - Press Release -12 February 2007

February 12th , 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. Rock chip and grid soil sampling has located a 5 meter wide zone of bedrock mineralisation grading 2.47 g/t gold within a large gold soil anomaly at Dauri Prospect within the Yup River tenement, EL 1329, West Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. EL 1329 is owned by Kanon Resources Limited which in turn is owned 50% by New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) and 50% by Vangold Resources Limited. NGG and Vangold have previously announced their intention to spin off Kanon into a separate, listed company.

The 5m wide rock chip anomaly is derived from a single 5m composite chip sample and represents the first significant bedrock gold mineralisation discovered in the Yup River tenement. The enclosing gold soil anomaly has rough dimensions of 1200m by 300-450m and is open to the northeast. Nearby subordinate soil anomalies are present adjacent to the main anomaly that together define a large gold-anomalous area that contains at least four targets for follow up pitting, trenching and drilling. Soil samples were collected by hand augering to depths of 0.5m to 1.0m at 25m spacing along lines spaced 100m apart. The soil anomaly locations are shown in the attached Figure 1.

The soil values are rather erratic reflecting the coarse, crystalline nature of the gold at Yup River. Several plus 1.0 g/t gold values in soil are present up to a peak of 6.46 g/t gold. The bedrock mineralized zone is hosted by strongly sericitised, quartz-sulphide veined, phyllite and schist of the Ambunti Metamorphics. Similar altered rocks are exposed intermittently over a wide area within the gold anomalous zone. The geology and style of alteration and veining at Dauri has some similarities to the high grade, vein, gold deposit at Kainantu in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. Alluvial and eluvial gold concentrations are also present over a wide area and are being worked by local miners at numerous locations at Dauri Prospect.

The Yup River tenement is located within the Amanab "goldfield" which has been mined on a small scale by local miners intermittently for 60 years. Alluvial gold occurrences are known over a large area shedding from metamorphic and intrusive basement rocks. Historical results from work carried out by previous explorers have defined three large target areas of alluvial gold concentration. These are Yumoro-Akraminag where Carpenter Pacific Resources NL reported gold shedding from a 6km long ridge and stream sediment gold values of up to 77.5 g/t gold; Yup River where stream sediment and soil sampling has defined several gold anomalies distributed over a 15km long zone with historical stream sediment values of up to 106g/t gold; and Merewe-Biaka, which includes Dauri Prospect, where gold anomalous areas are distributed over a 7km long zone. All three areas are located within EL 1329. Stream sediment gold values reflect gold concentrations in creek sediments and are not indicative of potential bedrock grades. In most cases the stream sediment anomalies have not yet been followed up to locate their bedrock source. Banka drilling has previously been carried out at Amanab to test alluvial gold concentrations but no drilling to test bedrock gold mineralisation has been undertaken.

Mr. Bob McNeil, CEO of New Guinea Gold (NGG) stated: "The recent results from Yup River confirm our belief that EL 1329 covers a possible new gold province in Papua New Guinea that, because of it's relatively remote location, has not previously been explored in detail for bedrock gold mineralisation."

Fieldwork will resume at Yup River in the latter part of 2007 after the proposed spin off of Kanon Resources Limited has been completed.

High Grade Molybdenum - 7m at 0.6% Molybdenum - in Drill Hole at Simuku - News Release -6 February 2007

February 6th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) advise that encouraging molybdenum mineralisation was intersected in two drill holes at the Simuku porphyry copper/gold/molybdenum property in West New Britain, Papua New Guinea.

Summary intersection results were:

  • SMD014 - 19m, from surface to 19m downhole, at 0.32% molybdenum (3.3% copper equivalent), including 7m at 0.6% molybdenum.
  • SMD014 - 59m from surface to 59m downhole at 1.4% copper equivalent.
  • SMD013 - 71m, from surface to 71m downhole, at 0.5% copper equivalent.

Note: The complete assay results above cut offs of 1000ppm copper or 100ppm molybdenum are given in the table below.

Copper equivalents are the combined value of copper, molybdenum and silver. They are important at Simuku as the project has credits in copper, molybdenum, gold and silver. Copper equivalents were calculated using current metal prices of US$2.50/lb for copper, US$25/lb for molybdenum and US$13.3/oz for silver. Gold is also a credit in parts of the Simuku system, but is not present in significant amounts in the present drill holes.

Drill holes SMD013 and SMD014 were drilled to 70.8m and 100.1m respectively to test a zone of molybdenum mineralisation defined in trench (73m at 0.17% molybdenum).

Figure 1 shows the drill hole locations and anomalous molybdenum in trench channel samples in the vicinity of the drill holes. The anomalous molybdenum in trench suggests that there is potential to expand the molybdenum mineralisation in drill holes SMD013 and SMD014. Figure 2 shows the relative position of holes SMD013 and SMD014 in respect to the Simuku porphyry copper system, bulldozer trenching and previous drill holes. The trenching on Figure 2 partly defines the extent of the porphyry copper mineralisation, but mineralisation is known to extend further to the north and in some places to the east and west of the trenching.

Bob McNeil CEO and President of NGG commented: " These molybdenum results confirm our belief that the Simuku porphyry copper/gold/molybdenum system has a significant molybdenum credit, or even possibly viable molybdenum mineralisation in certain parts of the system. The Simuku mineralisation has been defined over a length of 5kms and a width, (in parts) in excess of 2kms, by some 23kms of bulldozer trenching and geological mapping. Some parts of the system have copper/gold mineralisation with minor molybdenum (up to 100ppm) and other parts, such as the area of the present drilling, are molybdenum/copper rich. Previous drilling in the northern part of the system gave intersections of 0.5% to 0.7% copper plus 0.1g/t gold.

The potential volume of copper/gold/molybdenum mineralisation is large and the next phase of exploration is expected to be a substantial drilling program to define an inferred resource and move to a preliminary assessment as soon as possible. To achieve this objective the NGG Board plans to "spin off" this project (and its equity in the Mt Nakru property) as a separate company to raise the necessary funds and complete the above drilling program. Details of the "spin off" are still being determined but at this point it would appear that NGG would retain a 50% interest in the new company. This is an exciting development for NGG as the retained equity of a major copper/gold/molybdenum system (if proven) would be a major asset for the Company."

Background

An independent NI 43-101 Report was completed and lodged on Sedar in April 2006 and reported in a Press Release dated April 5, 2006.

The Simuku project can be briefly summarised as follows:

  • The Simuku system was discovered by Exxon Minerals (Esso) in the early 1980's and has had more or less continuous, although erratic exploration for the past 20 years. The property was acquired by NGG in 2002 although it did have an earlier joint venture on the property. Extensive and complete surface exploration has included airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, geological surveys, geochemical surveys, ground geophysical surveys, trenching and drilling.
  • More than 23 kilometres of bulldozer/excavator trenching and 14 drill holes have been completed at the Simuku property. Satellite imagery over the Simuku mineralised system shows an apparent large circular feature which could represent a volcanic rim suggesting a caldera or eroded strata-volcano. The molybdenum target area recently drilled appears to represent the central part of the larger Simuku porphyry which has a potassic core and halo of magnetic destruction.
  • Copper, molybdenum and gold mineralisation are discontinuously present over an area of at least 5km by 2.2km.
  • At Simuku many significant copper, molybdenum and gold trench and drill hole intersections have been defined. These are shown in previous releases, at www.newguineagold.ca and on the accompanying plans and table. The copper trench intersections need to be evaluated with caution as drilling evidence suggests substantial depletion of copper at surface in some areas. Copper has been leached and taken into solution, reducing the original or actual copper values at surface. Drilling suggests that trench intersections of 0.1% copper could in certain areas represent much higher copper values in the subsurface.
  • The best drill hole intersections were:
    • 41m at 0.64% copper
    • 63m at 0.52% copper
    • 36m at 0.70% copper
    • 150m at 0.35% copper
  • Some of the better trench /chip sample results from the current and historic trenching were:
    • 200m at 0.7% copper
    • 73m at 0.17% molybdenum
    • 6 m at 0.34% molybdenum
    • 70m at 0.4% copper
    • 14m at 1.03% copper
    • 27m at 0.76% copper
    • 15m at 0.58g/t gold
    • 24m at 0.5g/t gold
  • There are more than 200 separate trench intersections of copper, gold and molybdenum mineralisation above cut off grades of 1000ppm, 0.05g/t gold and 100ppm molybdenum respectively. Most of the intervening intervals between the listed intersections contained anomalous copper in the range of 0.05% to 0.1% copper.
  • Simuku is prospective for the following types of mineral deposits:

(i) Porphyry-style copper-gold-molybdenum deposits associated with quartz feldspar porphyry and quartz microdiorite to monzonite intrusions.

(ii) High grade/low tonnage molybdenum deposits in linear, fissure-controlled breccia zones. The Boss Mountain molybdenum deposit in B.C., Canada is an example of this type of deposit. The main target is the Misili Molybdenum Prospect.

(iii) Stockwork porphyry molybdenum deposits associated with felsic intrusives. Examples include Alice Arm, Berg and Endako in Canada. An interpreted intrusive body at Misili, believed to be genetically linked to the fissure breccia molybdenum prospects, may be prospective for stockwork molybdenum mineralization.

(iv) There is also some potential for the discovery of gold deposits peripheral to the main copper-molybdenum system.

J/V Agreement Extended Drill Program to Commence at Feni Islands - News Release - 5 February 2007

February 5th , 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG) announces that it has agreed to an extension to June 30, 2008 for Vangold Resources Ltd to spend a further $1.26M on exploration to earn a further 25% in the Feni Islands Project (EL1021). Of this amount, the partners have agreed that $600,000 shall be spent by September 1, 2007 on a diamond drill program. Vangold will also issue 200,000 common shares to NGG. Vangold and NGG currently each own 50% of the project.

On January 19, 2007, the partners reported that a 1500 to 2000 metre diamond drill program to test new targets at the Feni Project is scheduled to commence during the first quarter of 2007. In a news release dated November 7, 2006, Dr. David Lindley, formerly VP Exploration for NGG and Vangold, recommended drill testing of a 3 sq km area of the Feni gold system which has not yet been drilled. It is planned to mobilize a drill owned by Kanon Resources Ltd (owned 50%NGG and 50% Vangold) plus ancillary equipment to Ambitle Island as soon as staff and transportation are available.

Background

Peter A. Christopher, PhD, P.Eng. in an independent NI 43-101 technical report dated 1st October 2002, described the Feni property as follows:

"Feni property consists of two separate areas on adjacent Ambitle and Babase Islands in the Feni-Tabar chain of islands in the New Ireland Province of Papua New Guinea.

These two islands which are within a chain of alkaline volcanic islands that contain a significant gold deposit on Tabar Island and a world-class gold deposit on Lihir Island. The Feni property is mainly a target for hot spring gold deposits (like Lihir) or a deeper "high-grade" multi-vein deposit (like Tolekuma on the main island of Papua New Guinea). It also has potential for very high-grade structurally controlled mineralisation like Hishikari in Japan and indications of a porphyry copper-gold system occur in some drill holes. Previous exploration of the Feni property has identified over 30 separate gold anomalies and occurrences. Soil geochemistry for gold, mercury, arsenic and copper has been obtained for a 9km² zone that includes the Kabang and Dome prospects.

Ambitle Island (the primary target) has at its center an eroded caldera. Numerous active thermal areas are aligned along young faults and caldera ring fracture zones. Older counterparts of the active geothermal areas have been the main exploration targets. The eroded caldera is cut by the NNW trending Matampasel Fault. The Matampasel Fault flanks the NNW trending Niffin Graben. Movement on NNW structures resulted in graben cross structures. Polymectic, angular clast, altered volcanic breccia bodies occur along the Natong structure. Silicified clasts from the breccias are reported to have gold values up to 75g/t Au".

Past drilling, including drilling by the J/V partners has encountered widespread gold in geologically similar environments to the Lihir deposit with gold values in the order of 0.5g/t gold to 10g/t gold.

Some of the previous holes had intersections as follows: (locations are shown in Christopher's report):

CEO and President of NGG Bob McNeil commented: "Gold mineralisation has now been confirmed by drilling over several square kilometers of the 16 sq km caldera. Large volumes of 1 to 2g/t gold are suggested by the drill results and the proposed drill program will focus on exploring for possible higher grade gold feeder zones which, if encountered, could result in a substantial increase in average gold grades. Dr. D. Lindley in a Press Release dated November 7, 2006 noted that a three sq km core of the caldera on "crater" has widespread alluvial gold in creeks that dissect that area, but has not yet been tested by drilling. This area has a thin cover of volcanic ash and trachytic lavas which are younger than the gold mineralisation and which could obscure potentially gold mineralised bedrock (as suggested by the stream gold geochemistry). This area is now targeted for drill testing. Dr Lindley also noted that the Lihir deposit which contains resources of more than 42M ozs gold is confined to a two sq.km area and about 50% (by area) of the rock within this zone is unmineralised or weakly mineralised. The area on Feni to be drilled is sufficient to contain one or more of the component ore bodies that make up the Lihir deposit.

This will be an exciting program which will extend into the second half of 2007. Initial drill results are not expected before May 2007, largely because of assay laboratory delays".

NGG is also in the process of developing the Sinivit Property (see NI 43-101 Report dated 30th January 2006). In addition NGG has a comprehensive drilling program in place for 2007 to define gold resources at other key gold properties, Normanby (Imwauna), Mt Penck, and Sehulea (Weioko).

7m at 2.95g/t Gold in Hole MPD033 at Mt Penck - Press Release -19 January 2007

January 19th, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. Several further gold intersections are present in the latest drill results from Mt Penck Project in Papua New Guinea. Hole MPD053 intersected 7m at 2.95g/t between 3m to 10m downhole. Hole MPD028 intersected 5m at 2.26g/t gold between 47 to 52m downhole and 24 to 30m downhole respectively. All results above an 0.5g/t cut off are listed in the table below.

Mr. Bob McNeil, CEO of New Guinea Gold (NGG) stated: the results of these three holes are regarded as significant, add to the knowledge of the Kavola East Zone and extend the known gold mineralisation at Kavola East further to the north. Results from a further 6 holes completed in 2006 are still pending, but are not expected now until mid February, due to long delays at commercial assay laboratories. Most of the remaining holes have targeted gold mineralisation beyond the Kavola East zone, and if successful, would indicate additional bodies of gold mineralisation within the Mt Penck Project.

Drilling will resume in approximately one week, and the initial program for 2007 will be deeper holes to target depth extension of known mineralisation. Most holes to date have targeted mineralisation at less than 80m depth."

The Mt Penck project is beneficially owned 60% NGG and 40% Vangold Resources Ltd.

True widths of intersections are not known. The interval from surface to 3m in hole MPD033 averaged 0.46g/t gold. Hole locations are shown in the Press Release dated 3 January, 2007.

All samples are sawed, half core samples which are logged and photographed on site before sampling. Assaying was completed at accredited laboratory ALS-Chemex in Townsville, Australia.

NGG is developing the Sinivit Property (see NI 43-101 Report dated 30th January 2006). In addition to the drilling program at Mt Penck, NGG has drilling programs in place to define additional resources at its Sinivit project and NI 43-101 resources at the Company's Imwauna Projects. Results from nine holes at Imwauna are pending but will not be available until mid February. The initial surface trench grade control results from Sinivit should be released in approximately 2 weeks. Exploration drilling programs have been completed at Simuku to test the depth potential of a surface trench that encountered 73m at 0.17% molybdenum, and at Mt Nakru to test a gold in trench intersection of 21m at 7.26g/t gold. The Simuku results will be available in the near future but the Mt Nakru results are not expected until mid February.

Three Drill Holes Completed at Mt Nakru to Test Near-Surface Gold Mineralisation - Press Release -3 January 2007

January 3rd, 2007 -  Vancouver, BC. A three-hole drilling program at Mt Nakru Project (EL 1043, West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea) was completed in late December 2006. The holes, NAK010 to NAK012, were all drilled from the same pad to test the lateral and depth continuity of near-surface gold mineralisation exposed in Trench 2 at Nakru 1 Prospect. A total of 212.6 metres were drilled to a maximum vertical depth of about 70 metres.

Trench 2 was dug by bulldozer in late 2005 and exposed quartz-pyrite veined, strongly silicified, hydrothermal breccias that returned assay results of 21m at 7.26g/t gold, including 6m at 23.2g/t gold (not true widths). The mineralisation is associated with a northeast trending, sub-vertical fault structure.

The holes were drilled on azimuths of 260 and 300 degrees inclined at -45 degrees or -60 degrees. All three drill holes intersected strongly silicified, pyritic, hydrothermal breccias, which are locally strongly fractured and sheared, and are also locally quartz-pyrite veined. The silicified breccias have been intersected over widths of up to 40 metres and depths of up to 70 metres.

The mineralized breccias in Trench 2 are located some 560 metres northeast of historical trenches that had channel sample intersections of 51m at 2.2g/t gold and 45m at 2.5g/t gold and holes NAK001, NAK002 and NAK003, which intersected near-surface gold mineralisation and returned historical assay results of 5.6m at 1.9g/t gold, 0.12% copper (NAK001, 0-5.6m); 6.0m at 1.2g/t gold (NAK002, 0-6m) and 6.5m at 1.33g/t gold, 0.14% copper (NAK003, 0-6.5m).

The core has been split and samples bagged ready for shipment. Assay results are not expected to be received until February 2007.

The Mt Nakru property is beneficially owned 75% New Guinea Gold and 25% Vangold Resources.

All samples are sawed, half core samples which are logged and photographed on site before sampling. Assaying was completed at accredited laboratory ALS-Chemex in Townsville, Australia.

NGG is also in the process of developing the Sinivit Property (see NI 43-101 Report dated 30th January 2006). In addition NGG has a comprehensive drilling program in place for 2007 to define gold resources at other key gold properties, Normanby (Imwauna), Mt Penck, and Sehulea (Weioko).

True widths of intersections are not known.

The latest results continue to show that gold mineralisation is widespread at Mt Penck and resource definition drilling is expected to continue throughout 2007. The partners are investigating means to substantially increase the drilling rate in 2007.

It is important to note that the drilling to date has tested only about 30% of the known gold anomalous area at Mt Penck, which totals about 2 square kilometers, and of the 30% tested much infill drilling remains to be completed.

Mr McNeil stated: "that given the number of drill holes completed to date, management now believe that the construction of an NI 43-101 compliant resource model incorporating the drill holes completed during 2006 can commence towards the end of the first quarter 2007 following receipt of assays from ALS Chemex in Brisbane, Australia. However the resource estimate will be an interim estimate as 70% of the prospective area remains to be tested."

The new zone of gold mineralisation discovered at Peni Creek, about 700m west of the Kavola East zone, which was reported in the release dated 14 November 2006, has been mapped and channel sampled. These samples are now in Kimbe awaiting dispatch to the laboratory.

The 2006 drilling program at Mt Penck (EL1322, West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea) was completed on 15 December 2006. The Mt Penck property is beneficially owned 60% by New Guinea Gold and 40% by Vangold Resources. The rig was demobilized for the Christmas-New Year break and drilling will not resume until late January as all field crews will be taking field break and annual leave. In early January the current field camp, now too small for an advanced project, will be pulled down and a new, larger camp will be built in a more accessible location closer to the coast.

Since drilling commenced in March 2006, 29 holes, MPD010 to MPD038, have been completed for a total meterage of 3376.7 metres. The deepest hole was MPD 012 at 199.5 metres (downhole).

Due to laboratory congestion, assay results have been received only for holes up to MPD 027, plus MPD 029 and MPD 032. Samples from the remaining holes (Holes MPD028, MPD030, MPD031, MPD033 to MPD038) have either been dispatched to the laboratory or are in Kimbe awaiting dispatch. 120 samples are now at the laboratory in Townsville and are expected in mid January, but final assay results for all holes are not expected to be received until February 2007.

Highlights of the drilling up to hole MPD 023 have been reported in earlier releases dated 6 September 2006 and 11 October 2006.

All samples are sawed, half core samples which are logged and photographed on site before sampling. Assaying was completed at accredited laboratory ALS-Chemex in Townsville, Australia.

NGG is also in the process of developing the Sinivit Property (see NI 43-101 Report dated 30th January 2006). In addition NGG has a comprehensive drilling program in place for 2007 to define gold resources at other key gold properties, Normanby (Imwauna), Mt Penck, and Sehulea (Weioko).
