Plato Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:PGC) ("Plato" or the "Company") an exploration
company with a portfolio of properties in significant gold mining camps in
Northern Ontario, Northern Quebec, and Santa Cruz, Argentina announces the next
stage of their exploration plan on the Lolita Property in Santa Cruz, Argentina,
is currently underway.


"We are looking forward to advancing the Lolita Project and developing its
potential," said Anthony Cohen, President and CEO of Plato. "With the recent
success of our neighbours Argentex and Hunt Mountain Resources with El Pinguino
and La Josefina, respectively, as well as other companies in Santa Cruz such as
Minera Andes and Andean Resources developing exciting mineral projects, we feel
that the Lolita Project has very exciting potential for our Company."


"With a new NI 43-101 compliant inferred resources of 146,315 oz Au on average
grade of 4.09 g/t in our Val d'Or Project in Quebec, the exciting potential of
the Lolita Project in Santa Cruz, and our original Timmins Gold Project, I
believe that Plato has three world class exploration projects with great
opportunity to add value for our shareholders," said Mr. Cohen.


Dr. Lhotka, a joint venture partner in the project, added: "In the past decade,
the Province of Santa Cruz in Argentina has emerged as one of the most
successful districts for mineral exploration in South America. It has attracted
interest from junior and senior exploration companies worldwide resulting in the
construction of four new precious metal mines. I am pleased to have the
opportunity to work with Plato Gold on the Lolita Property."


Development in this mining district is relatively new and has been expanding
over the past ten years. Dr. Lhotka staked the Lolita Property based upon a
compilation of public data. The area is sparsely inhabited, semi-arid, treeless
and has low topographic relief of plains and low hills. The climate is cool and
dry. Access to the Lolita Property is by gravel provincial highway that runs
adjacent to the Lolita Property that is also traversed by numerous local dirt
roads.


The Lolita Property is located in a geological province hosted by Jurassic-aged
rocks of the Deseado Massif. Most of the Lolita Property is mapped as being
underlain by the Bajo Pobre and Chon Aike Formations of the Jurassic age.


Initial work on the property was reported on in a news release of November 28,
2007. That program of work recognized three distinct, previously unknown,
hydrothermal structures with brecciation and veining with strongly anomalous
mercury, arsenic and antimony values in rock samples. The work suggested that
the hydrothermal structures represent the shallow levels of an epithermal
system.


The current campaign plans to complete first-pass prospecting over the remainder
of the property and also more detailed sampling along strike of, and between,
the three zones previously recognized.


Paul G. Lhotka, Ph.D., P. Geo is responsible for the technical contents of this
news release. Dr. Lhotka is President of Minera Latina S.A. and is based in
Mendoza, Argentina.
