Evolving Announces Initial Results from Drilling on its Large Property Holding Between Carlin and Getchell Gold Trends, Nevada

 

January 23, 2008, Vancouver, British Columbia: Evolving Gold Corp. (TSX-V:EVG) (OTCBB: EVOGF) (FSE:EV7) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce preliminary geological and geochemical results from their first drill hole which was partially completed on their group of properties northwest of the Carlin gold trend (the “North Carlin properties”) in north-central Nevada. Currently, Evolving is focusing their exploration on an area approximately 20 kilometers NW of the Goldstrike gold deposit, mid-way between the Carlin and Getchell gold trends. Evolving controls approximately 48,000 acres of exploration ground in the region, and is exploring a broad area which has not been tested by previous exploration drilling.

Part of Evolving’s exploration landholdings in the area combine claims held by both the Company and Newmont Gold Corporation, under an agreement concerning an exploration partnership on four prospective gold properties, including three which are located within the prolific Carlin Gold Trend (see press release dated December 5, 2007).

The first hole, which is vertically inclined, reached a depth of 1480 feet (463 meters) before being abandoned due to technical reasons. A twin hole, being drilled with a diamond drill, has been collared nearby the terminated reverse circulation hole, and is planned to reach a target depth of approximately 560 to 650 meters. The core hole is currently at approximately 370 meters depth.

Both holes penetrated approximately 350 meters of Miocene-age, unaltered volcanic rocks. At approximately 350 meters depth they entered what is interpreted to be Paleozoic sedimentary rocks which are strongly, hydrothermally altered. Intense pyritization occurs in the form of semi-massive replacements; associated with strong silicification as the matrix of hydrothermal breccias, and as stockwork veining. Silicification and clay alteration are present to the bottom of the reverse circulation hole (463 meters) and is accompanied by geochemically anomalous gold, as well as pathfinder elements commonly associated with Carlin-style mineralization.

The bottom 235 meters of the hole averages 0.23 grams per ton (gpt) gold, with individual 5 foot (1.6 meters) intervals ranging up to 1.56 gpt gold. The core hole is expected to provide a much more accurate sample for actual geochemical content, since the pyrite was largely lost in the cuttings of the reverse circulation hole.

The Company’s geological target is situated approximately 200 meters deeper than the bottom depth (463 meters) of the reverse circulation hole.

 

Evolving is carrying out an aggressive program of exploration in the region, targeting Carlin-style mineralization.
