Evolving Gold Announces Exploration Progress at Winnemucca
Mountain; Appoints New VP Exploration

May 18, 2007, Vancouver, British Columbia: Evolving Gold Corporation (CNQ: GOLD) (OTCBB:EVOGF) (the “Company”) announces results, to date, of drilling at their Winnemucca Mountain goldprospect, located near Winnemucca, Nevada and the appointment of Dr. Quinton Hennigh as the Company’s new Vice President of Exploration.

At Winnemucca Mountain, joint venture partner Meridian Gold Company, the operator of the project, completed 12 reverse circulation drill holes, totaling 2278 meters, into the epithermal vein system which strikes NE across the large, 2115 hectare property. Ten of the 12 drill holes intersected the vein system, and although gold values were consistently anomalous (0.08 to 1.65 grams per ton of gold), the intersections did not yield the moderate to high-grade intercepts that occurred in previous drill holes by Santa Fe Mining. The Meridian holes ranged in depth from 320 to 900 feet and targeted the area around the historic high grade Santa Fe intersection in hole 83 which returned 5 feet (1.52 meters) grading 2.02 ounces (68.6 grams) per ton gold.

The veins intersected in Meridian’s drilling are locally up to 9 meters in true width, and contain typical epithermal textures of other bonanza systems in the district, including the nearby Sleeper and Sandman deposits. Additionally, the vein intercepts are anomalous in gold pathfinder elements including arsenic, antimony, and mercury.

Meridian will resume drilling as a drill rig becomes available.

Evolving Gold is also very pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Quinton Hennigh M.Sc., Ph.D, as Vice President, Exploration effective immediately. Dr. Chris Osterman, Evolving’s outgoing Exploration Vice President, will remain as Evolving’s Consulting Geologist. Dr. Osterman has recently taken on increased responsibilities with an Asian-based gold exploration company.

Quinton Hennigh, M.Sc., Ph.D,

Through his career, Dr. Hennigh has made significant contributions to Newmont Mining, Newcrest Mining and Homestake Mining throughout North America, in Europe, Australia, Asia and South America. He brings to the Company’s gold exploration and research program a balance of pragmatic, business sensitivity and bold innovation. Dr. Hennigh’s network of industry colleagues are committed to maintaining ongoing business relationships with Dr. Hennigh at Evolving Gold. Over the past fifteen years, Dr. Hennigh has established an enviable reputation for timely and efficient completion of exploration programs under his supervision.

Dr. Hennigh will both advance the Company’s existing gold projects and develop valuable precious metal properties and joint ventures for the Company, particularly in Nevada. The Company welcomes Dr. Hennigh to the Evolving Gold team.
