Dutch Gold adds Geologist, updates operations

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc., a developer and operator of proven gold mines and a regional mill in North America, announced that it added Sam Bourque as its lead underground geologist and has extended its relationship with David Hembree, a professional geologist with over twenty seven years experience who consults for the Company on an ongoing basis.

Dan Hollis, Chief Executive Officer of Dutch Gold Resources, stated, our team has been focused on development and exploration in our Benton Mine, and we are pleased to announce the addition of another experienced geologist to the team.

We now have an excellent combination of an underground geologist to work with our mining team underground on a daily basis, combined with David Hembree’s decade-long knowledge of this resource.

Mr. Borque is a graduate of Northern Arizona University, with a Bachelor of Science in Geology.

His experience includes assignments with Newmont, Victoria Resources US, Inc., and ASARCO. His experience with major miners and junior miners makes him uniquely qualified to serve the Company at this stage of development of the Benton projects.

Commenting on the progress of the Benton Mine, Mr. Hollis said we anticipate the completion of the NI43-101, as well as an updated mining plan that will better define our resource and strengthen our operating plan throughout the balance of this year and next.

We are committed to adding professional staff to the Company that will allow us to optimize Dutch Gold properties and build value for all of our constituencies, concluded Mr. Hollis.
