Media Release
ALLIED GOLD DENIES Allegations of Mercenaries
AT Simberi Gold PROJECT
Allied Gold Limited ("Allied Gold" or the "Company") (TSX:ALG; ASX:ALD;
AIM:AGLD) notes and rejects outright the allegations against it in recent press
publications in Papua New Guinea (and reported on Bloomberg) relating to the
hiring of Fijian mercenaries in relation to the Company's operations at the
Simberi Gold Project in Papua New Guinea.
These allegations are totally misinformed. While the Company has engaged certain
contractors/employees to assist it with security at the Simberi Gold Project,
none of these contractors/employees are mercenaries and all of the Company's
employees and consultants are engaged under official PNG Government issued legal
visas.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Simberi Gold Company, is authorised and
has operated and continues to operate within the terms and conditions of its
operating permits in PNG.
The Company has a policy of positively engaging with the various PNG Government
departments and Ministers to ensure they receive the accurate and factual
information that they require.
None of the ASX, TSX or London Stock Exchange plc has reviewed, and do not
accept responsibility for, the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
