EVOLVING GOLD ADOPTS SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

January 29, 2008, Vancouver, British Columbia: Evolving Gold Corp. (TSX-V:EVG) (OTCBB: EVOGF) (FSE:EV7) (the “Company” or “Evolving Gold”) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the adoption of a shareholder Rights Plan Agreement (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan is being adopted to ensure the fair treatment of all Evolving Gold shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for the outstanding common shares of Evolving Gold. The Rights Plan will provide shareholders with adequate time to properly evaluate and assess a take-over bid without facing undue pressure or coercion. The Rights Plan also provides the Board with additional time to consider any take-over bid and, if applicable, to explore alternative transactions in order to maximize shareholder value.

The Rights Plan is not designed to prevent take-over bids that treat Evolving Gold shareholders fairly. Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Plan, any bid that meets certain criteria intended to protect the interests of all shareholders are deemed to be “Permitted Bids”. A Permitted Bid must be made by way of a take-over bid circular prepared in compliance with applicable securities laws and, in addition to certain other conditions, must remain open for 60 days. In the event a take-over bid does not meet the Permitted Bid requirements of the Rights Plan, the rights issued under the plan will entitle shareholders, other than any shareholder or shareholders involved in the take-over bid, to purchase additional common shares of Evolving Gold at a significant discount to the market price of the common shares at that time.

CEO, Robert Bick explains, “The Dividend-in-Kind transaction (news release dated Jan. 24, 2008) and this proposed Shareholder Rights Plan are intended to protect, preserve and maximize shareholder value. While the Rights Plan is not being adopted in response to any proposal to acquire control of Evolving Gold, the Management and the Board of Directors feel it is prudent to create the maximum flexibility in the event of such an eventuality.”

The Rights Plan is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and will be presented for ratification by the shareholders at the Evolving Gol Special Shareholder meeting to be held by no later than March 20, 2008. If ratified by shareholders, the Rights Plan will have a term of three years.
