About Prodigy Gold: Prodigy Gold Incorporated (TSX VENTURE:PDG) was created by
unifying the assets of two Canadian Junior exploration companies: Kodiak
Exploration Limited and Golden Goose Resources Inc. Prodigy is currently
evaluating the Magino Mine project in Ontario as an open-pit mining opportunity
with the potential for deeper, higher grade gold production The company is
producing a new N.I. 43-101 compliant resource estimate for Magino that will
serve as the basis for a Preliminary Economic Analysis (PEA), establishing the
economic parameters of an open pit mining operation. The PEA is expected to lead
to a full feasibility study, expected in 2012. Bringing the Magino Mine project
through the feasibility process and towards production, coupled with the
exploration potential of our Beardmore-Geraldton exploration properties, are the
catalysts to growing Prodigy Gold, building substantial value for Prodigy
