Coppermoly Provides Vangold Update Announcing Sample Results

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Vangold Resources Ltd. ("Vangold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: VAN)
and its joint venture partner, New Guinea Gold Corporation ("NGG"), are
pleased to announce that Coppermoly Limited ("Coppermoly"), an Australian
listed company, has issued the following news release.

Vangold directly holds 2,288,700 shares in Coppermoly and a further
5,263,158 shares indirectly through its 50% shareholding of Pacific Kanon
Gold Corp (PKG). Further to the Company's news release of August 20,
2009, Vangold has agreed to acquire the remaining 50% of PKG from NGG,
subject to Stock Exchange approval. This would increase Vangold's direct
holdings in Coppermoly to 12,815,016 shares or 15.6%.

TALELUMAS ROCK SAMPLE RESULTS OF 9.47 G/T GOLD AND 552 G/T SILVER IN A
NEW STYLE OF MINERALISATION

An outcrop rock chip sample from the Isme Creek prospect returned assays
of 9.47 g/t gold, 7.94% zinc, 552 g/t silver, 0.15% copper and 7.05%
lead. The Mt. Misusu copper-molybdenum prospect returned eight copper
anomalous rock samples including 1.07% copper and 109 ppm molybdenum.

Other anomalous outcrop samples from a total of thirteen taken along Isme
Creek include:

- Sample 97290: 1.09 g/t gold, 1.32% zinc, 3.6 g/t silver, 507 ppm lead;

- Sample 97293: 0.27 g/t gold, 8.01% zinc, 5.8 g/t silver, 6370 ppm lead;

- Sample 97294: 0.66 g/t gold, 1.87% zinc, 3.0 g/t silver, 2360 ppm lead;

- Sample 97295: 0.40 g/t gold, 1.56% zinc, 3.6 g/t silver, 561 ppm lead;
and

- Sample 97296: 0.08 g/t gold, 1.38% zinc, 3.5 g/t silver, 711 ppm lead.

Isme Creek (refer to Figure 1) was initially identified from historical
stream sediment anomalies and historical rock samples which included
0.86% copper, 0.77 g/t gold, 0.74 g/t gold and 0.58 g/t gold (refer to
Figure 2). The prospect is located on a major structural corridor
"Kulu-Awit" which traverses the island. These results present a promising
target for ongoing exploration, particularly in light of last year's
drilling at our Nakru-2 prospect where zinc and other base metals were
encountered in semi-massive sulphide.

At the Nakru-2 prospect in the south of New Britain Island, historical
outcrop samples in creeks obtained values up to 21% zinc. The first two
holes drilled by Coppermoly last year encountered significant base metal
and precious metal mineralisation associated with semi-massive sulphide
including 7 metres grading 3.36% copper, 2.0% zinc, 0.19g/t gold and
11g/t silver.

Previous explorers have paid little attention to high lead and zinc
occurrences (refer to Figure 1) as they were more interested in copper
and gold mineralisation in the Talelumas/Simuku area. This promising
newly identified style of mineralisation within the Talelumas tenement
represents additional economic potential to the larger copper systems
under evaluation. There are some similarities between the Nakru-2
mineralisation and that found in the outcrop rock sampling at Isme Creek.

At the Mt. Misusu copper-molybdenum prospect (formerly known as Nakru
Creek), Coppermoly collected eighteen rock samples. Four rock outcrop
samples assayed greater than 0.6% copper. These samples occur within a
copper anomalous area of 850 metres by 500 metres defined from rock and
historical trench sample results.

Sample results at Mt. Misusu include:

- Sample 97267: 1.07% copper and 109 ppm molybdenum;

- Sample 97265: 0.73% copper;

- Sample 97266: 0.94% copper;

- Sample 97268: 0.43% copper and 102 ppm molybdenum; and

- Sample 97269: 0.68% copper and 384 ppm molybdenum.

Historical rock chip samples in the area assayed 7.89% copper and 0.85
g/t gold, 3.66% copper and 0.80 g/t gold. The prospect occurs one
kilometre northwest of the Simuku copper-molybdenum porphyry system where
an Inferred Resource has been estimated (refer to Figure 1).

The Isme Creek and Mt. Misusu prospects are within a one hour drive from
the provincial capital of Kimbe with access through tracks built in 2008
for the Simuku camp. The area was explored previously by CRA Exploration,
BHP, Nord Resources, Esso, City Resources, Macmin NL and Placer (PNG)
Exploration from 1965 to 1995.

ABOUT COPPERMOLY LIMITED:

Coppermoly currently has a Rights Issue to Shareholders to raise
approximately $2 million to enable the company to undertake further
drilling and progress its projects to a stage of feasibility.

The Nakru project is a very significant and sought after discovery with
high grade copper intersected near surface possibly associated with
Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide style of mineralisation. Further drilling
will test the extent of this mineralisation and associated Induced
Polarisation geophysical anomalies.

Additional drilling is planned at Simuku to enable a resource estimate of
supergene (near surface enriched) secondary copper mineralisation prior
to undertaking feasibility studies. Simuku is located within a one hour
drive from an operating deep water port and a regional airport near the
provincial capital of Kimbe. The Nakru project is located about four
hours drive from Kimbe.
