NEWPORT GOLD INC. Reno Nevada April 26, 2007, (“the Company” NWPG OTC BB) is pleased to advise shareholders that it has completed an initial exploration program over the Company’s optioned China One copper gold property (Inner Mongolia, China) and has received the Geological Report by the Company’s Consulting Geologist Daniel Huang M.Sc.

This property is held by Noront Resources Ltd. (“Noront” NOT TSX-V) through BaoTou Noront Mineral Development Co. and consists of 5.16 km(2) situated about 100 km north of BaoTou City and was acquired initially due to favourable Cu-Au(copper-gold) mineralization traced over a large area.

Newport has an option to earn a 50% interest in this property by spending $750,000 over 3 years and delivering 800,000 shares to Noront.  The initial 300,000 shares have been delivered to Noront.

“According to geological sampling which has taken place over the last 3 years and during which visible gold had been observed the property has a high probability of mineable gold, zinc and copper. The property has the potential to become a significant revenue contributor to Newport and is clearly the most significant development for our shareholders in the company’s history.” stated Derek Bartlett, Newport’s President.

“We will begin drilling on the property this summer and we are confident that this property is proving to be an excellent asset for all of us as Newport Gold’s and Noront Resources Ltd.’s China One Property lies within the Tian Shin Gold Belt. Since the opening of Newmont Mining’s 140-million-ounce Muruntau Gold Mine, large-scale gold mining has flourished on the western and southern reaches of northern China’s Tian Shan Gold Belt. This prolific gold belt now hosts the 15-million ounce Kumtor Gold Mine, as well as the 100-million-ounce Sukhoi Log Deposit. It is also worth noting that the BYC Gold Project and Ivanhoe Mines’ Turquoise Hill Project in Mongolia, which is regarded as one of the most significant gold discoveries of the past decade, are also in the Tian Shan.”

“Newport is committed to opening this property and begins producing tangible returns for our shareholders.” Mr. Bartlett concluded.
