    COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT
    CANGOLD ACQUIRES OPTION ON GOLD PROJECT ADJACENT TO
    MULATOS GOLD MINE IN MEXICO
    24 July 2007 : The company is pleased to release the following announcement by Cangold Limited.
    Mining Projects Group Limited currently holds approximately 5.8 million shares in Cangold Limited
    which is listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX – V : CLD). The current share price of
    Cangold Limited is CND 28.5 cents.
    CANGOLD LIMITED (TSX-V: CLD, the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has, through its
    Mexican subsidiary, signed an Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Los Venados
    property contiguous with, and along strike from, the Mulatos Gold Mine in the prolific Sierra Madre
    gold belt of Sonora, Northern Mexico.
    Los Venados lies within the emerging Mulatos gold mining district - a 15-20 kilometre long
    northwest trending belt of strong hydrothermal alteration and gold mineralization in Tertiary volcanic
    rocks within the Sierra Madre Mountains. The target at Los Venados is a multimillion ounce high
    sulphidation epithermal gold deposit amenable to open pit mining and heap leaching, similar to
    Alamos Gold Inc.’s (AGI: TSX) Mulatos gold deposit, which contains a global resource of 3.71
    million ounces at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade (Alamos Gold website). The southern boundary of the
    Los Venados claim is located within 1,500 metres of the Estrella open pit, which contains Proven &
    Probable Reserves of 31,900,000 tonnes at a grade of 1.64 g/t Au for a total of 1,683,000 ounces of
    gold.
    The 3,200 hectare Los Venados claim is easily accessible by an all weather road, approximately 220
    kilometres southeast of Hermosillo, and covers a large hydrothermal system where three zones of
    intense argillic alteration, silicification and gold mineralization have already been identified. The
    property has been subjected to very little historical work and initial grab sampling by Cangold has
    yielded gold values ranging from 0.01 to 1.84 g/t.
    Cangold’s first phase of exploration is scheduled to commence in early August and will include
    geological mapping and prospecting, detailed sampling and possibly trenching of the three zones
    identified to date, with diamond drilling to follow. Cangold can acquire a 100% interest in the Los
    Venados property by making staged cash payments totalling CDN$250,000 and issuing 500,000
    shares over 5 years. The acquisition is subject to a 2% NSR, half of which can be purchased for
    CDN$500,000. A finders fee is payable upon regulatory acceptance.
    Los Venados represents an exciting entry point into gold exploration in Mexico for Cangold. It is
    rare in today’s market to find a property with such a high profile address, so little previous work and
    so much potential. As such, Los Venados will play a pivotal role in the accelerated growth of the
    Company.
    For And On Behalf Of The Board
