PNG Gold Corporation-Third Quarter 2013 Results

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/28/13 -- PNG Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE: PGK) ("PNG Gold" or the "Company") announces that the Company has filed its third quarter interim Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 on SEDAR.

The Company reported a net loss of $31,503,751 and $32,877,579 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company tested its assets for indicators of impairment in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 6 and International Accounting Standards 36 ("IAS 36"). As at September 30, 2013, the Company determined that there were indicators of impairment for its exploration and evaluation assets and property, plant and equipment. The indicators of impairment result from the current economic uncertainty in general and the downturn in the mining industry in particular, decline in the Company's market capitalization and the Company's decision to significantly reduce future exploration expenditures until the economy improves. As a result, the Company recorded impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as noted in the table below. All of the impairment loss relate to assets held in Papua New Guinea.

Exploration and evaluation assets                                $29,155,318
Computers, equipment and furniture                                     6,289
Camp buildings                                                       518,755
Drilling equipment                                                   993,541
Other operations equipment                                           290,030
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total impairment loss                                            $30,963,933
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To ensure that the Company's assets are carried at no more than their recoverable amount, which is the higher of the amount to be recovered through use of the asset (Value In Use - "VIU") and the amount to be recovered through sale of the asset (Fair Value Less Cost Of Disposal - "FVLCD"), the Company performed an impairment analysis. If an asset is carried at more than its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and IAS 36 requires an entity to recognize an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of each asset was determined based on the FVLCD approach. Estimates of fair value were based on recent observable market transactions or replacement costs for items similar in nature and condition to those impaired. The Company's exploration and evaluation assets are currently at the exploration stage and there have been no resources established to reliably estimate the economic viability or future cash flows of the properties. As a result, an estimate of fair value under the VIU approach using a discounted cash flow would be very difficult and unreliable. The Company has therefore adopted the FVLCD approach to estimate the recoverable amount for its exploration and evaluation assets.
