Evolving Gold Continues Aggressive Drilling Programs
VANCOUVER, BC - Evolving Gold Corp. reported its exploration progress to date and plans for its 2008 program of exploration drilling on its portfolio of gold projects in the south-west United States. In total, the Company controls approximately 100,000 acres of exploration lands, mainly in north-central Nevada. Drilling has begun on the Company's Siesta gold/silver project, immediately south of the Sleeper gold deposit in Humboldt County.
In addition, the first-phase drill programs at the Malone (New Mexico) and Fisher Canyon (Humboldt Range, Nevada) prospects have recently been completed (assays are pending on both) and drilling at the Company's Sheep Creeks project near the Carlin Trend in Nevada is ongoing.
The Company's exploration plans call for the continuous drilling of its entire portfolio of gold prospects in south-west United States throughout 2008 and such exploration plans will use at a minimum the three drill rigs currently in operation. Drilling is also set to begin on the Company's Carlin District properties. The properties are being explored as part of an earn-in agreement from Newmont Mining Corporation.
