New Guinea Gold Corporation: New Guinea Gold Corporation: Mt Penck Hole MPD042 Intersects 133m at 1.83g/t Gold from Surface

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 10, 2009) - The Mt Penck Project in West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea, is 60% beneficially owned by New Guinea Gold Corporation (NGG)(TSX VENTURE:NGG)(FRANKFURT:NG8) and 40% by Vangold Resources Ltd. NGG holds 20% interest directly, and a 40% interest through its 50% shareholding in Pacific Kanon Gold Corporation.

The results of the first two diamond core holes in the present Mt Penck program at Kavola East prospect, MPD039 and MPD040, together with the top half of MPD042 were given in a Press Release dated 4th June 2009.

The assays for the remainder of hole MPD042 are now available and are given in the table below. Location data for hole MPD042 was given in the Press Release dated 4th June 2009.

Drilling is ongoing and funded by partners NGG and Vangold in proportion to their beneficial interests.

Bob McNeil CEO and Chairman commented; "the length of the intersection in this hole is exceptional and supports the partner's contention that Mt Penck could host a substantial gold resource. Kavola East, where drilling is presently being conducted, is of one of many gold areas at Mt Penck known from surface sampling. Drilling will proceed to these other areas in due course."

Drill results from earlier drill programs at Mt Penck are described in detail in a Press Release dated 24th April 2009 and in an Independent NI 43-101 report at [ www.newguineagold.ca ].
