Entree Gold Inc. (TSX: ETG)(AMEX: EGI)(FWB: EKA) (”Entree” or the “Company”) reports that results from the geophysical survey completed on its Sol Dos Property, Arizona have been received and evaluated. Drill targets have been identified and documentation has been submitted to the Bureau of Land Management (”BLM”) for permitting of the proposed follow-up exploration program. A drilling contract has been signed with Boart Longyear for 6,550 feet (2,000 m) of diamond drilling. The drilling program will commence shortly after receipt of permit approval from the BLM, which is estimated to take 2 - 4 weeks.

In late 2006, Entree completed a 12 line mile (20 line km) program of deep probing induced polarization (”IP”) and magnetic surveys on the property. Drilling will test a 1.2 by 0.9 mile (2 by 1.5 km) IP chargeability anomaly, which is coincidental with historic drilling that encountered low-grade copper values associated with altered intrusives. The prospect is modeled as a large porphyry copper target, similar to the San Juan and Dos Pobres deposits being developed by Phelps Dodge, approximately 8 miles (14 km) to the northwest, and to the deep, high-grade Resolution porphyry copper deposit, being evaluated by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, approximately 60 miles (100 km) to the west-northwest.
