Pelangio Mines Inc. (TSX:PLG) ("Pelangio") has been advised by Detour Gold Corporation ("Detour Gold") that it has released drill results of 21 holes from the Calcite and Gap Zones of its Phase II drilling program at the Detour Lake property in northern Ontario. Detour Gold started Phase II drilling in July 2007 and thus far has completed 351 holes totaling 137,702 metres (including 29 holes abandoned for 2,401 metres and deepening of 9 holes for 1,439 metres). Prior to the mineral resource update of July 2, 2008, the Company had reported 187 holes totaling 68,428 metres (including 15 holes abandoned for 1,290 metres). There are four (4) active drill rigs on site.

Pelangio has a 44.6% equity interest in Detour Gold (20 million shares). Detour Gold issued a press release today, the verbatim text of which follows:

"Detour Gold Reports Additional Mineralization West of Calcite Zone and Wide Gold Intersections in the Gap Zone of its Detour Lake Project in Northern Ontario (1.83 g/t over 64.0 metres and 1.33 g/t over 78.9 metres in Gap Zone)

Detour Gold Corporation (TSX:DGC) ("Detour Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report the first drill results since its mineral resource update of July 2, 2008 at the Detour Lake property in northern Ontario. The Company received assays for 21 holes in the Calcite and Gap Zones from its ongoing Phase II drilling program.

The Company started Phase II drilling in July 2007 and thus far has completed 351 holes totaling 137,702 metres (including 29 holes abandoned for 2,401 metres and deepening of 9 holes for 1,439 metres). Prior to the mineral resource update, the Company had reported 187 holes totaling 68,428 metres (including 15 holes abandoned for 1,290 metres). There are four (4) active drill rigs on site.

Results from an additional 11 holes drilled at the western end of the Calcite Zone are indicating additional gold mineralization within the US$700 pit shell, which will positively impact the final pit design (lower strip ratio) and resource base. Of importance, significant gold mineralization was encountered at the contact between the massive and pillow flows in holes DG-08-321 with 1.21 g/t over 47.0 metres and DG-08-326 with 1.37 g/t (cut) over 32 metres on section 18,020E, and in holes DG-08-313 with 1.43 g/t (cut) over 38.0 metres and DG-08-318 with 2.54 g/t (cut) over 19.0 metres on section 18,060E.

Detour Gold received results from 10 holes drilled in the Gap Zone (between sections 18,920E and 19,240E), mostly testing the extent of the mineralized corridor to the north (hanging wall). Results continue to show excellent continuity of the gold mineralization within the core of the corridor, especially along the lower massive and pillow flow contact.

The best mineralized (uncut) intervals encountered are shown below.

Approximately 7,770 metres remain to be drilled for the Phase II program which will total nearly 143,000 metres (initially planned for 135,000 metres). The Phase III program of 30,000 metres is underway with approximately 3,970 metres completed as of the end of July 2008.

On July 2, 2008, Detour Gold reported a mineral resource update based on a detailed engineered pit design using a preliminary mine schedule at a mining rate of 30,000 tpd operation for the first few years and increasing to 60,000 tpd thereafter. The base case reported (using a gold price of US$700 per ounce) contained 10.8 million ounces of gold in the measured and indicated categories and 2.4 million ounces of gold in the inferred category (refer to press release dated July 2, 2008).

Complete tables of results, surface and longitudinal plans and cross-sections for the Detour Lake deposit are posted on the Company's website www.detourgold.com /Projects/Detour Lake or http://www.detourgold.com/s/LatestDr... or on the home page "Explore Detour Lake".

Detour Gold's exploration program is being managed by Project Manager, Mr. Roger Aubertin, P.Eng., a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Aubertin has verified and approved the data disclosed in this release, including the sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information.

Samples are prepared and assayed at SGS Minerals Services in Don Mills, Ontario, Canada. Analysis for gold is done on sawn half core samples using fire assay (AA finish). Samples with higher grade gold ( greater than 5 g/t) are re-assayed using the pulp and metallics procedures. Standard reference materials, blank and field duplicate samples are inserted prior to shipment from site to monitor the quality control of the assay data. For additional information on Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC"), refer to the press release dated April 11, 2007.
