NIOGOLD CONTINUES TO OUTLINE NEW GOLD
MINERALISATION AROUND FORMER MARBAN MINE
Val-d’Or, Quebec, September 5, 2007. NioGold Mining Corporation (TSX-V: NOX) (FWB: NG1)(“NioGold”) reports on results of the 2007 drilling program on the Marban Block property, located in the Malartic Gold Camp, Quebec.
The initial phase of the 35,000-metre 2007 drilling program is investigating the Marban Mine sector, one of three former gold producers on the Marban Block property. To date, NioGold has completed 17 holes for 7,265 metres (MB-07-003 to MB-07-019) drilled on three north-south sections located 350 to 550 metres east of the Marban Mine shaft (Sections 3+50E, 4+50E and 5+50E). The holes investigated the surface and depth extension of theMarban Mine Sequenceover a strike length of 200 metres and to a maximum dip extent of 700 metres. All holes intersected disseminated sulphide and vein stockwork zones typical of the Marban Mine ores.
Assay results received from holes MB-07-003 to MB-07-012 highlight the gold enriched nature of theMarban Mine Sequence and its potential to host disseminated bulk-style of mineralisation with higher grade sections. Assay results for holes MB-07-013 to MB-07-019 are pending. The most outstanding gold mineralised intervals obtained from the first 12 holes in the Marban Mine sector, including the initial 2 holes completed in late 2006 (MB-06-001 and MB-06-002), are listed below:
Hole # | Grade g/t Au | Core Length (metres) |
MB-06-001 including
including | 3.6 10.8 1.3 6.9 | 26.4 4.0 43.0 2.0 |

MB-07-008 including | 2.1 5.6 | 11.7 3.0 |
MB-07-010 | 22.8 | 0.5 |
The 2007 drilling over the Marban Mine sector will continue to investigate the 4 priority targets outlined by the compilation of historical data, namely the near surface and down-dip extent of theMine Sequence and the faulted off east and west extent of the Marban Mine orebodies.
To the north of the Marban Mine, hole MB-07-012 collared into previously unrecognized intrusive-hosted vein stockworks and associated alteration and sulphide mineralization returning anomalous gold values with several intervals grading above 1 g/t Au. The veined and mineralized sections bear strong similarities to Agnico-Eagle’s Goldex deposit (21.4 million tonnes grading 2.39 g/t Au = 1.64 million ounces of gold, Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd., 2005), located 10 kilometres to the southeast. Follow-up holes are planned.
Complete assay results of holes MB-07-003 to MB-07-012 for intervals grading over 1 g/t Au are tabulated below. Reported intervals are in core lengths. Additional drilling is needed to estimate true widths and verify the continuity of the mineralised sections from hole to hole.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Qualified Persons
Diamond drill holes were drilled with NQ-size core in order to obtain larger sample volumes for the mineralised zones. The core was delivered by the drilling contractor to NioGold’s facilities located at the Norlartic mine site. The core was photographed for reference, logged and mineralized sections were sawed in half. Sample lengths varied between 0.5 to 1.5 metres. The half core samples were bagged, sealed and trucked to Activation Laboratories Limited (“Actlabs”) in Ancaster, Ontario, an accredited laboratory. Samples were assayed by the fire-assay method using an atomic absorption finish on a 50-gram pulp split.
A quality assurance and quality control program (QA/QC) was implemented by NioGold and the laboratory to insure the precision and reproducibility of the analytical method and results. The QA/QC program includes the insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates in the sample batches sent to the laboratory and a systematic re-assaying from the remaining coarse reject fraction by the fire-assay method with an atomic absorption finish for samples returning values of 2 to 5 g/t Au and by gravimetric finish for samples returning values greater than 5 g/t Au. As well, 10% of the pulps are sent to Bourlamaque Assay Laboratories Ltd. in Val-d’Or for check assaying.

NIOGOLD FINDS URANIUM ON PUMP LAKE
Val-d’Or, Quebec, September 11, 2007: NioGold Mining Corporation (TSX-V: NOX) (FWB: NG1)(“NioGold”) reports on the first phase of prospecting on the Pump Lake property, Quebec.
As anticipated, initial prospecting in July on the Pump Lake property resulted in the discovery of two uranium occurrences, named the Roxane and Emma showings. The showings lie along a newly defined radioactive structural trend where significant values of up to 0.24% U3O8 (4.7 lbs / ton U3O8) were obtained. The Pump Lake property was further enlarged to 150 square kilometres to cover the most prospective ground along this trend.
Roxane Showing: A northeast-southwest trending swarm of radioactive granitic intrusive dykes, possibly related to the Lesueur Alkaline Intrusive Complex, was discovered on the west side of the property. The dyke swarm was traced and prospected over a distance of 1 kilometre. Thirty-two (32) grab samples of outcrop of the intrusive material were taken with 16 samples returning assay values ranging from 0.01% to 0.20% U3O8 (0.2 to 4.0 lbs / ton U3O8). Higher values, ranging from 0.05% to 0.20% U3O8 (1.1 to 4.0 lbs / ton U3O8), were obtained in 8 samples all collected within a 200 metres stretch at the west end of the prospected area.
Emma Showing: A second isolated occurrence was discovered 6 kilometres on strike to the northeast of the Roxane showing. Sampling of a small trench dug over a radiometric anomaly returned assay values of up 0.24% U3O8 (4.7 lbs / ton U3O8). The Emma showing occurs in altered meta-sedimentary rocks possibly on the margin of underlying intrusive rocks.
In the past, the Pump Lake sector has undergone very limited exploration, particularly for uranium. The Roxane and Emma uranium occurrences were uncovered by field investigation of priority targets outlined by the airborne geophysical and geochemical surveys and structural lineament study completed during the spring. Detailed investigation is currently in progress over the Roxane showing. A field grid at 50-metre line spacing is being established over a 2.6 kilometre by 1.0 kilometre area. Abitibi Geophysics of Val-d’Or is conducting radiometric and magnetic geophysical surveying over the grid. Geophysical data is made available on a daily basis for prompt field investigation. Further prospecting along the northeast-southwest Roxane-Emma trend is planned.
Pump Lake is located 50 kilometres north of the Mt-Laurier uranium district, Quebec. Under the terms of an option agreement with Ressources Maxima inc. (“Maxima”), NioGold is earning a 100% interest in the Pump Lake property by paying a total of $100,000, issuing a total of 500,000 common shares to Maxima and incurring at least $500,000 of exploration expenditures.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Qualified Persons
The rock samples were bagged and sealed by NioGold personnel and delivered to ALS-Chemex in Val-d’Or, Quebec, an accredited laboratory. The samples were analysed for 38 elements by lithium meta-borate fusion and ICP-MS for quantitative results of all elements, including those encapsulated in resistive minerals. Samples returning uranium values greater than 1,000 ppm (0.1% U) were re-analysed by lithium borate 50:50 flux and XRF method.

Note: Reported intervals are in core lengths. Additional drilling is needed to estimate true widths and verify the continuity of the mineralised sections from hole to hole.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Qualified Persons
Diamond drill holes were drilled with NQ-size core in order to obtain larger sample volumes for the mineralised zones. The core was delivered by the drilling contractor to NioGold’s facilities located at the Norlartic mine site. The core was photographed for reference, logged and mineralized sections were sawed in half. Sample lengths varied between 0.5 to 1.5 metres. The half core samples were bagged, sealed and trucked to Activation Laboratories Limited (“Actlabs”) in Ancaster, Ontario, an accredited laboratory. Samples were assayed by the fire-assay method using an atomic absorption finish on a 50-gram pulp split.
A quality assurance and quality control program (QA/QC) was implemented by NioGold and the laboratory to insure the precision and reproducibility of the analytical method and results. The QA/QC program includes the insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates in the sample batches sent to the laboratory and a systematic re-assaying from the remaining coarse reject fraction by the fire-assay method with an atomic absorption finish for samples returning values of 2 to 5 g/t Au and by gravimetric finish for samples returning values greater than 5 g/t Au. As well, 10% of the pulps are sent to Bourlamaque Assay Laboratories Ltd. in Val-d’Or for check assaying.

ROXANE URANIUM PROSPECT TRACED OVER 2 KM ON PUMP LAKE
MAGNETITE HORIZON RETURNS 40% IRON CONTENT
Val-d’Or, Quebec, October 2, 2007. NioGold Mining Corporation (TSX-V: NOX) (FWB: NG1)(“NioGold”) reports: Prospecting and ground geophysical surveying on the Pump Lake property, Quebec, uncovered several more radioactive units up to 2.3 kilometres on trend from the Roxane uranium prospect where intrusive units returned values of up to 0.20% U3O8 or 4.0 lbs / ton U3O8 (see News Release dated September 11, 2007).
Follow up work conducted in September on the Roxane prospect discovered in July consisted of line-cutting, ground radiometric and magnetic geophysical surveying and prospecting over a 2.6 by 1.0 kilometre area. The geophysical survey was conducted by Abitibi Geophysics. Several more intrusive units with high uranium CPS counts were uncovered and sampled. The Roxane radioactive zone has now been traced over an east-northeast strike extent of 2.3 kilometres. Assay results are pending. Several radiometric anomalies recorded by the geophysical survey remain to be investigated. Mechanical stripping of select areas is planned for the month of October.
Magnetite Horizon
Initial sampling of a magnetite-bearing horizon exposed 1 kilometre northeast of the Roxane uranium prospect returned values of up to 40% total iron. Mechanical stripping is planned in October to determine the orientation and thickness of the horizon and to collect more samples for Davis Tube recovery tests of the magnetite.
Pump Lake is an early stage project that displays characteristics comparable to the iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) class of mineral deposits. World-Class examples of IOCG’s are found at Olympic Dam and the Cloncurry district (Australia), Candelaria (Chili), Salobo (Brasil), and the Kiruna district (Sweden). On Pump Lake, occurrences of iron oxides (magnetite), copper, gold and uranium are found to be closely related to a recently recognised alkaline intrusive complex of yet unknown extent.
The Pump Lake project is located 50 kilometres north of the Mt-Laurier uranium district, Quebec. Under the terms of an option agreement with Ressources Maxima inc. (“Maxima”), NioGold is earning a 100% interest in the Pump Lake property by paying a total of $100,000, issuing a total of 500,000 common shares to Maxima and incurring at least $500,000 of exploration expenditures.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Qualified Persons
The rock samples are bagged and sealed by NioGold personnel and are delivered to ALS-Chemex in Val-d’Or, Quebec, an accredited laboratory. The samples are analysed for a suite of 38 elements by lithium meta-borate fusion and ICP-MS for quantitative results of all elements, including those encapsulated in resistive minerals.
