(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, is pleased to announce an amendment of the original August 8, 2006 Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Globex Mining Enterprises Inc.("Globex") (TSX: GMX) on the Nordeau Bateman properties in Val d'Or, Quebec.


The Option Agreement has been amended to allow funding and completion of exploration expenditures due December 30, 2010 to April 30, 2011. All other conditions of the original Option Agreement and subsequent Amendments remain the same. This extension is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

"With gold passing through $1,300 per oz, these are exciting times for the gold sector," said Anthony Cohen, President and CEO. "Our Nordeau West site which reported on March 12, 2009 a NI 43-101 compliant resource (see details below) is well located in an area with strong mining infrastructure. We intend to continue our work in the area with further drilling in the months ahead."
"Plato is concurrently working on two other active gold projects in Timmins, Ontario and in Santa Cruz, Argentina. The success of neighbouring projects in Timmins and in Argentina makes Plato an attractive and well positioned exploration company," said Cohen.
