New Guinea Gold Corp. provided the following update on its activities and plans moving forwards. The company reported the appointment of Mr. David Laulau as Mine Manager.

David will commence on site on April 22, 2013. The company confirmed an Indicated Resource of 283,000 tonnes at 3.7 g/t Au for approximately 33,000 oz Au (at 1.5 g/t Au cutoff) at its Kavursuki project. The Kavursuki Vein System lies approximately one kilometre to the north of the Sinivit Mine and represents an excellent opportunity for near surface oxide mineralisation.

Some 46 shallow diamond drill holes have been used to calculate the resource, which remains open to the north, south and at depth. On site metallurgical testing is proceeding to determine mineralogical make-up and recovery characteristics.
