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.
