Update on Pelangio properties in Ontario

    TORONTO, March 29 - Pelangio Mines Inc. (PLG: TSX) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") announces 2007 exploration plans for its 100% owned Seeley Lake and Black Township properties located in Ontario. Pelangio has also entered into a letter of intent for the sale of its 100% interest in the Matheson West and East property to Matamec Explorations Inc. ("Matamec"). The transaction is subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

    Seeley Lake

    The Seeley lake property is located approximately 14 kilometres northeast of Marathon, near the Hemlo gold camp. In 1997, Pelangio completed an induced polarization (IP) survey and four Diamond drill holes totaling 623 metres targeting a few anomalies. The best hole returned 4.7 g/t gold over 1 metre within a 30 metre anomalous zone. Copper and zinc anomalies were also encountered in several drill holes. Pelangio is planning a 1,500 metre drilling program to further evaluate this gold mineralized zone and to test several IP anomalies. The budget for this program is estimated at $310,000.

    Black Township

    The Black Township property is located between the towns of Timmins and Kirkland Lake, approximately 10 kilometres south of Ramore. Pelangio has not done any exploration on the property since its acquisition. Information from previous reports dating from the 1980s indicates the presence of a north-trending shear zone over a projected strike length of approximately 300 metres. Some of the better gold values included 0.23 oz/t over 1.5 metres from a channel sample and 0.36 oz/t from a grab sample. Another parallel zone located 200 metres to the north returned gold values ranging from 0.03 to 0.10 oz/t. Some near-surface drilling is reported from the adjacent claim to
the east but results are not available.
    The Company has expanded the property by staking an additional two claims (480 acres). In 2007, Pelangio is planning geophysical surveys and prospecting in the target areas described above. Pending the results of this first phase, a 1,500 metre drilling program would follow. The budget for this program is estimated at $230,000.

    Matheson West and East

    Pelangio has agreed to sell its 100% Matheson East and West properties to Matamec. In consideration, Matamec will issue 100,000 common shares to Pelangio and spend $250,000 in exploration over the next five years. Pelangio will retain a 1% net smelter return ("NSR"), which can be purchased by Matamec for $1,000,000 and 100,000 shares.
    The property comprises two non-contiguous parcels of land located approximately 22 road kilometres northeast of Timmins. The property is subject to a 2% NSR to Asarco Exploration Company of Canada Ltd. and 1/2% NSR to McArthur Minerals.
    Kevin Filo, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person for the purpose of this news release.
