PELANGIO EXPLORATION RECEIVES EXTENSION ON THE MEDUMA CONCESSION, GHANA

TORONTO, Ontario, (September 2, 2009) - Pelangio Exploration Inc. (PX:TSX-V) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the optionor in respect of Pelangio's Meduma concession in Obuasi, Ghana (the "Meduma Concession"), has agreed to the postponement until December 19, 2009 of the first payment and share issuance to acquire the 49% of the Meduma Concession that the Company does not already own. The Meduma Concession comprises approximately 20% of Pelangio's exploration property in Obuasi, Ghana (the "Obuasi Property"). Together with the extension received on the Kyereboso #2 and #3 concessions (announced June 5, 2009), the Company has now received extensions on all of the concessions composing the Obuasi Property.

"This extension is just another example of the exemplary working relationship that we have with the optionors of our Obuasi Property," stated Ingrid Hibbard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pelangio. "This extension will be of great benefit to our fall drilling program, which we intend to commence early in the fourth quarter of this year." Ms. Hibbard continued, "We commend the management of Adansi Gold Mines Limited, for their business acumen and understanding of our exploration plans for the Meduma Concession."

The applicable option agreement had required aggregate payments and share issuances of US$150,000 and 1.2 million common shares of the Company on or before June 19, 2009. These payments and share issuances will now be made on or before December 19, 2009. The postponement does not affect the payment date in respect of the second and third payments, which are scheduled to be made on or before June 19, 2010 and June 19, 2011, respectively. Copies of the option agreement and amending agreement are available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com.
