Pelangio Exploration Inc. announced that the diamond drill program at its Gowan polymetallic project is underway. The project is well located within the Kidd-Munro assemblage, the same environment that hosts the Kidd Creek Mine, just 16 kilometers northwest of the Gowan project. The drill program will test several priority geophysical targets for nickel copper sulphides as well as copper zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization "VMS".

Drill targets in the northern portion of the property are associated with known historical base metal drill intercepts in a VMS environment. Pelangio recently commissioned Maxwell Plate modelling of the airborne VTEM survey data to examine it further for more subtle anomalies. This work outlined six new targets of interest.

One of the targets "B" is spatially associated with the known copper occurrences in the IP Anomaly 1 Area where drilling is currently underway. The other five targets are new areas of interest; targets A, C, and F are proximal to established IP targets while targets E and D represent new areas of interest on the property. These targets will undergo additional analysis to establish definitive drill hole locations for subsequent drilling.

VMS Target- IP Anomaly 1: This IP target and associated historical copper intercepts hosted within felsic volcanics represents a high priority copper-zinc VMS target. The anomaly has a southeasterly strike of approximately 400 meters. Two historical holes designated Hole 2 and 77-1 were drilled parallel to the outer edge of the IP anomaly and intersected some significant base metal mineralization in a felsic volcanic package.

Hole 2 returned 10.97 meters of 0.32% copper and 11.99 g/t silver including a higher-grade intercept of 3.81 meters grading 0.66% copper and 10.62 g/t silver. Hole 77-1 skimmed the southern extremity of the anomaly and returned an anomalous section grading 0.18% copper and 2.24 g/t silver over 5.79 meters with a higher-grade section assaying 0.45% copper and 4.8 g/t silver over 1.67 meters. Nickel Copper Type Prospect - IP Anomaly Coincident with VTEM - IP Anomaly 2: The recently completed IP survey also outlined a broad, 400 meter wide IP anomaly coincident with the airborne VTEM anomaly and represents a high priority nickel-copper type prospect.

The IP anomaly was detected across all three survey lines cut across the airborne VTEM anomaly, and extends from east to west for a minimum of 270 meters and is open to the east and west. Limited proximal historical drilling on the periphery of the IP anomaly and associated magnetic data suggests that the IP anomaly is hosted in ultramafic rocks.
