Entrée Gold Commences Drill Program At Sol Dos, Arizona
April 16, 2007
Vancouver, B.C., Monday, April 16, 2007 - Entrée Gold Inc. (TSX:ETG; AMEX:EGI; Frankfurt:EKA – “Entrée” or the “Company”) has commenced drilling on its Sol Dos copper prospect. Sol Dos is located in the heart of one of North America’s premier copper producing districts, in southeastern Arizona. The Company expects to complete 6,550 feet (2,000 m) of drilling.
Drilling will test a 1.2 by 0.9 mile (2 by 1.5 km) IP chargeability anomaly, 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 of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, approximately 60 miles (100 km) to the west-northwest.
Phelps Dodge’s proposed Safford (San Juan and Dos Pobres deposits) open-pit copper mine was permitted for development in 2006 and is expected to commence production in late 2008. Entrée’s Sol Dos property lies along the main southeast trending structural system that hosts several porphyry copper deposits (including the San Juan and Dos Pobres) estimated to contain in excess of 7 billion pounds of copper.
