Vangold Resources Ltd. announced that the co-owners of Block 9 in Kenya have commenced drilling of the Bogal-1-1 well. The Bogal-1-1 well is located less than 60 kilometers away from the first of 11 targets on Vangold's Block 3A and 3B all located within the Anza Basin. The co-owners of Block 9 are China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), The Taiwanese National Oil Company and Africa Oil Company. The Bogal-1-1 well will target the Jurassic reefal limestone carbonates and cretaceous sandstones as the main objectives and be drilled to a projected depth of 5,500 meters. Numerous other prospects have also been identified in Block 9. Vangold's Kenya Oil 100% owned concessions Block 3A and Block 3B cover an area of over 24,000 square kilometres which lie partly along the proven hydrocarbon fairway of the Central Africa Rift System (CARS). The Company has 11 indicated targets and leads with similar potential to Block 9.

Vangold Resources Ltd., Special/Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, Nov 17, 2009 Agenda: To approve the plan arrangement under which company's shareholders will receive shares of newly formed Vanoil Energy Ltd.

Vangold Resources Ltd. announced that it has acquired an additional 8.5% in the Sarcee 12-13-23-4W5M ('Sarcee 12-13') gas well and the surrounding 2,560 gross acres from the minority partners. This acquisition increases Vangold’s ownership in the Sarcee project from 33.5% to a 42% working interest. The Sarcee 12-13 well is located on the Tsuu T'ina First Nation (Sarcee Reserve) immediately west of the city of Calgary, Alberta. In 2005, C1 Energy Ltd. ('C1'), the then operator, reported that the Sarcee 12-13 well was drilled to a depth of 3,254 meters subsurface and intermediate casing was set to 3,160 meters subsurface. Immediately below that depth the Sarcee 12-13 well encountered a fully dolomitized 70 meter gross (48 meter net) pay interval with a 5% average porosity in the primary target zone being the Turner Valley formation. The well preflowed in an open hole condition to verify the presence of natural gas.
