VAN Vangold Mining Corp

Vangold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:VAN) (the "Company" or "Vangold") today
announced that it has commenced core drilling at its Allemata Project, located
in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea.


The current 10-hole drill program will test two prospects, Huluba and Ulo Ulo,
where significant gold mineralization has been identified in earlier work
programs. Holes will be drilled to up to 300m in depth and have been targeted
using a combination of surface geochemistry, geophysical surveys and historic
work, including previous drilling. Results from the current drill program are
expected early in 2013.


"This is an important milestone in advancing the Allemata Project", commented
Bruce Counts, President of Vangold Resources Ltd. "The presence of gold has been
firmly established on the property and this drill program is aimed at expanding
the gold mineralization laterally and vertically on both prospects."


Allemata

The 148 sq-km Allemata property encompasses the historic Milne Bay Goldfield
which produced 15,000oz of gold from alluvial and high grade lode mines prior to
WWII. The property is easily accessible by a 45km all-weather road from the port
and provincial capital of Alotau. Previous geochemistry, trenching and drilling
at Allemata has identified two main gold prospects, Haluba and Ulo Ulo located
3.5km apart along a northwest trending structural zone. 


Haluba Prospect

The Haluba prospect hosts disseminated and stockwork gold mineralization. Rock
chip sampling, trenching and drilling programs have been completed with
promising results including 20m at 2.17g/t gold, 16m at 2.87g/t gold and 45m at
1.51g/t gold in trenches. Five holes have previously been drilled at Haluba to a
maximum vertical depth of 160m; the drilling results included: 24m at 1.90g/t
gold; 29.7m at 1.59g/t gold; 14m at 1.64g/t gold and 24m at 1.54g/t gold.


Ulo Ulo Prospect

The Ulo Ulo prospect hosts vein style gold mineralization and is the site of an
historic lode mine. Previous drilling results include: 3m at 19.59g/t gold; 2.0m
at 7.55g/t gold; 0.5m at 10.85g/t gold; 21m at 1.31g/t gold and 11.65m at
2.01g/t gold. Only 3 holes were deeper than 100m; no deep drill testing has been
undertaken to date. Anomalous values for copper, lead and zinc were also
intersected including: 8m at 0.22% copper, 0.34g/t gold & 1.9 g/t silver; 2.35m
at 0.33% copper and 0.5m at 0.23% copper, 0.49% lead & 0.45% zinc. 


In addition, Vangold is pleased to announce the appointment of David Kelsch as
Vice President of Exploration. David brings to the company an unparalleled
ability to conceptualize, design and execute comprehensive, technically focused
exploration programs that are systematic, efficient and cost effective.


Mr. Kelsch's involvement in the mineral exploration industry spans more than 25
years. He has been active on programs ranging from grass roots through to
development both locally and internationally, on commodities ranging from gold
to base metals to diamonds. His tenure at Rio Tinto (1992 to 1997) saw Mr.
Kelsch as an integral member of the team responsible for the discovery of what
was to later become the Diavik diamond mine in remote northern Canada. Mr.
Kelsch later became a consultant to junior explorers until 2004 when he assisted
in the start-up of Bluestone Resources and took the position of Director and
V.P. Exploration. Mr. Kelsch holds a degree in geology from the University of
British Columbia.


Finally, Vangold announces the private placement of 2,850,000 units at $0.115
per unit, each unit consisting of a share and one half of a four year share
purchase warrant exercisable at $0.25 per share. The placement is slightly less
than originally announced because the TSX Venture Exchange did not accept $0.115
subscriptions from persons who were not incoming directors (or companies
associated with incoming directors) in accordance with private placement
policies respecting "part and parcel" pricing.
