Each stock option entitles its holder to purchase one common share of NGE at a price of $1.00 per share until March 4, 2013, and in accordance with the other terms and conditions provided in NGE's 2007 Stock Option Plan. Such options shall vest as to one-third of the options, on March 4, 2009, as to the second one-third of the options, on March 4, 2010; and as to the final one-third of the options, on March 4, 2011. The options and any securities issued upon the exercise of the options are subject to a four-month hold period.

About NGE

NGE is an exploration company focused, through its wholly-owned Nevada incorporated subsidiary Pediment Gold LLC, on gold exploration in Nevada. NGE is led by a highly experienced and historically successful exploration management team. NGE has developed a proprietary groundwater chemistry exploration technology and is the first to complete a comprehensive and consistently applied survey of Nevada's groundwater chemistry specifically directed toward the discovery of new gold deposits. Management believes that the results of NGE's groundwater chemistry program are significant in that they are demonstrating that Nevada's known gold deposits exhibit recognizable groundwater chemistry signatures. NGE has identified and acquired several exploration properties with similar groundwater chemistry and is in the final stages of testing whether such water chemical signatures can be followed "up stream" to discover new gold deposits in much less time and for much less money than the conventional exploration approaches currently used by other exploration groups. NGE continues to refine and apply this technology to identify, acquire, further delineate and then drill test its own highly prospective exploration properties to return the maximum value of making a new gold discovery to shareholders. NGE is also in a unique position to add value to the Joint Venture opportunities presented by more conventional exploration groups.
