MGHCF Minco Capital Corporation (QB)

Minco Gold Corporation (the "Company" or "Minco Gold") (TSX: MMM)(NYSE Amex: MGH)(FRANKFURT: MI5) is pleased to announce that a large poly-metallic and gold mineralization trend within a regional unconformity has been defined on its 100% owned Yejiaba property located in Gansu Province, P.R.C. The mineralized structural trend is over 10 kilometres in length with some portions of the trend located outside of Minco's property. In the southwest portion of the structural trend poly-metallic (iron - silver - lead - zinc) mineralization is located in the hanging wall while the gold mineralization is located in the footwall in the northeast portion of the structural trend. Please see to the property map with sample results on the Minco website.

In the Shajinba area, a large poly-metallic mineralized zone 5 to 25 metres in width was identified during the 2009 exploration program which consisted of traversing and trenching. The regional unconformity divides massive hanging wall limestone with the heavily folded thin-bedded footwall limestone which are intruded by highly altered dykes. High contents of iron, silver, lead and zinc are characteristic for this style of mineralization in the Shajinba area.

Continuous channel sample results from surface trenches completed are as follows:

In 2010 Minco will continue to explore and define this favourable target with further sampling, trenching, traversing, geophysics, and potentially diamond drilling.

Samples were prepared and assayed at SGS - CSTC Standards Technical Company, TEDA Tianjin, PRC under the supervision of an International certified assayer. Samples were analyzed with fire assay with AAS finish for gold and aqua regia with an AAS finish for silver. External check samples were sent to Intertek Laboratories in Beijing, PRC for additional check analysis.

Mr. Dwayne Melrose, P.Geo. Vice President Exploration for Minco Gold, has reviewed this news release and is the Qualified Person responsible for verification and quality assurance of the company's exploration data and analytical results.
