Entrée Gold Announces Agreement to Explore for Copper in China
November 7, 2007
Vancouver, B.C., November 07, 2007 - Entrée Gold Inc. (TSX:ETG; AMEX:EGI; Frankfurt:EKA – "Entrée" or the "Company") has entered into an agreement with the Zhejiang No. 11 Geological Brigade to explore for copper within three prospective contiguous exploration licences, totaling approximately 61 square kilometres in Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China.
Entrée has agreed to spend US$3,000,000 to fund exploration activities on the licences (collectively known as "Huaixi" - see maps on www.entreegold.com) over a four year period. After Entrée has expended US$3 million, the Company will hold a 78% interest and Zhejiang No. 11 Geological Brigade will hold a 22% interest in the project.
The licences cover a large area (2 kilometres by 10 kilometres) of advanced argillic alteration with peripheral, small scale, past-producing copper-gold and pyrite mines. As the area has not been extensively drill-tested to depth or explored using deep-penetrating geophysical techniques, it is believed to offer excellent potential for buried copper deposits. In addition, the geology of the Huaixi area is similar to that of high-level systems associated with a number of porphyry copper deposits elsewhere in the world.
"This agreement marks Entrée’s entry into China and broadens our exploration efforts in Asia. Our focus in Mongolia and North America is to explore for porphyry copper-gold deposits. Similar opportunities exist in China and the Huaixi project was chosen after an extensive technical review of a number of prospective Chinese properties," commented Greg Crowe, President and CEO of Entrée.
The project is located in southeast China, two hours by paved road from the large industrial port city of Wenzhou and has excellent local access and infrastructure.
Robert Cann, P.Geo., Entrée’s Vice-President, Exploration and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the preparation of technical information in this news release.
