  TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 09 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
VG Gold Corp., (TSX: VG), (FRANKFURT: VN3) is pleased to announce assays
from five additional core holes at its Paymaster West Project in Timmins,
Ontario. The result of these holes was to: 1) Expand the mineralization
at depth, and 2) Target areas closer to surface with bulk tonnage, open
pit potential. The Paymaster West Project is situated next to Goldcorp's
Dome Mine that has produced over 17 million ounces of gold from
underground and open pit mining.

    "These results demonstrate that there is good potential to expand the
mineralization at depth and closer to surface. We will continue to drill
at depth in order to expand upon these results in addition to evaluating
a potential open pit resource. With two drills operating, a good treasury
and excellent projects we will strive to become the next significant
junior gold explorer in Timmins," stated Tom Meredith President and CEO.

    Expanding the Mineralization at Depth

    9.4 gpt (0.274 opt) over 4.6 metres (15.1 ft)

    Two core holes were drilled in order to expand the known mineralization
at depth. The best result returned 9.4 grams per tonne (gpt) (0.274
ounces per ton (opt)) over 4.6 metres (m) (15.1 feet) (ft.) at a vertical
depth of approximately 215 m (700 ft). VG Gold's geologists believe this
result is important because it has successfully expanded the
mineralization by 140 m (450 ft) down plunge of the historic
mineralization and it remains open at depth and along strike (Figure 1 -
cross section). Three additional core holes are currently planned to
follow up on this encouraging result.

    A second core hole was drilled 600 m (1,975 ft) further to the east
(closer to Goldcorp's Dome Mine). This hole intersected 5.72 gpt (0.167
opt) over 1.4 m (4.6 ft) at an approximate depth of 340 m (1,125 ft).
This is deepest gold occurrence yet encountered by VG Gold since the
company began exploring the project in August (Figure 2 - cross section).

    Looking for Large Open Pit Potential

    1.0 gpt (0.029 opt) over 44.2 m (144.9 ft)

    After analyzing the historic Paymaster West data VG Gold believes that
there is the potential to develop an open pit resource at the project.
Previously released results from September and October help confirm this
theory: 1.40 gpt (0.041 opt) over 23.0 m (75.5 ft) and 5.25 gpt (0.153
opt) over 10.6 m (34.8 ft).

    New Drilling by VG Gold continues to encounter wide intervals of gold
mineralization. Recent drilling intersected 1.0 gpt (0.029 opt) over 44.2
m (144.9 ft) starting approximately 120.0 m (390.0 ft) below surface.
This hole expanded the mineralization 30 m (100) to the northeast. The
upper portion of this hole encountered what appears to be a separate zone
that returned 4.1 gpt (0.120 opt) over 2.3 m (7.5 ft).

    Gold mineralization at the Paymaster West Project is hosted within and
peripheral to strongly altered and well mineralized quartz feldspar
porphyry. Alteration consists of pervasive ankerite and sericite
alteration with local tourmaline, both disseminated and in veins. Pyrite
mineralization is disseminated throughout, with local concentrations to
20%.

    VG Gold has the option to earn a 60% interest in the Paymaster West
Property from Goldcorp by making $6.0 million in exploration expenditures
by June 2012. Once VG Gold has given notice that it has earned its 60%,
Goldcorp has six months to decide if it wishes to increase its ownership
from 40% to 70% by paying VG Gold $710,000 and spending $8.25 million on
the property within two years and also completing a feasibility study by
the end of year three.

    VG GOLD.....WE ARE GOLD!

    QUALIFIED PERSON

    All exploration work was conducted under Kenneth Guy, P. Geo., designated
Qualified Person for VG Gold, who has reviewed this press release. All
drilling was completed using NQ size core. Gold analysis of the samples
collected by VG Gold was assayed by ALS Chemex. Analysis consisted of a
fire assay of a 30-gram sample with an atomic absorption finish. Samples
assaying over 10.0 gram per tonne Au are re-assayed with gravimetric
finish. Samples noted to contain visible gold are analyzed via total
metallic assay method. A rigorous Quality Control and Assurance program
(QA/QC) is in place, using control samples such as Blanks and duplicate
checks. In addition, duplicate analyses of 10% of the samples are
corroborated by check assays performed at a third party Laboratory.
