Option To Acquire Hope Butte Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Angold Resources Ltd. has entered into an agreement with Hightest Resources, LLC which it has been granted the right to earn a 100% undivided ownership interest in the Hope Butte Project, located in Malheur County, Oregon.

CEO, Adrian Rothwell, said, "This acquisition highlights Angold's quality project pipeline and is the culmination of many months of effort by the Angold team. Hope Butte meets our target strategy to expand gold ounces in many ways - a strong jurisdiction, historic resource, excellent grades, at or near surface mineralization, and low cost of entry, with shallow historic drilling and plenty of opportunities for expansion."
