NIOGOLD ACQUIRES 10 CLAIMS IN MALARTIC GOLD CAMP

Val-d’Or, Quebec, February 5, 2008: NioGold Mining Corporation (TSX-V:NOX) (Frankfurt: NG1)(“NioGold”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired ten (10) mining claims covering 340 hectares in Malartic Township, Abitibi region, Quebec, from prospector Jean Robert.  The claims are contiguous to the Heva property that has now grown to 32 mining claims covering 1,300 hectares.  The Heva property is part of the Company’s Malartic Gold Camp land holdings and is strategically located along the northwest projection of major structures hosting gold mineralisation on the Marban Block property where two drill rigs are presently active.

The acquired claims cover an auriferous quartz vein that returned values of up to 135 g/t Au in grab sample and up to 6.8 g/t Au over 1.8 metres in channel samples obtained from the initial sampling in 1962 (GM-12419, GM-14133).  Mechanical stripping in the fall of 2007 by prospector Jean Robert exposed the quartz vein contained within a 1 to 2 metre wide mineralised fracture zone.  Channel sampling of the structure returned gold values of up to 4.4 g/t Au over 1.0 metre.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, NioGold can acquire a 100% undivided right, title and interest in the claims by paying a total of CAD $20,000 and issuing a total of 200,000 common shares, subject to regulatory approvals.  The vendor retains a 1.5% net smelter return royalty on the claims.  NioGold has the right to buy back half of the royalty at any time for $200,000.
