Evolving Gold Intersects 67.1 Meters at 10.8 gpt Au at Rattlesnake Hills

July 13, 2009, Vancouver, British Columbia: Evolving Gold Corp. (TSXV: EVG) (FSE: EV7) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce an update on the definition drilling at its Rattlesnake Hills bulk tonnage gold deposit in Wyoming.
Rattlesnake is an alkalic diatreme gold system, with similar geology to the Cripple Creek gold deposit in Colorado. Three core drills are currently operating at Rattlesnake to test the extensions of high grade gold mineralization identified in 2008 and to expand the bulk tonnage halo gold mineralization that surrounds the high grade gold. The Company is well funded with approximately $16,000,000 in treasury to aggressively explore this project.
* Drill hole RSC-020 intersected 67.1 meters at 10.8 gpt Au, (220 ft at 0.315 oz/ton) including 36.6 meters at 16.8 gpt Au (120 ft at 0.492 oz/ton). The 36.6 meter interval also contains 12.2 meters at 39.3 gpt Au (40 ft at 1.147 oz/ton) and a single 1.5 meter intersection of 155 gpt Au (5 ft at 4.526 oz/ton). The aggregate composite inclusive of the halo gold mineralization is 185.5 meters at 4.29 gpt Au (610 ft at 0.125 oz/ton).
* The drill results in RSC-020 represent a major extension of the North Stock high grade gold mineralization at Rattlesnake. The collar of RSC-020 is approximately 145 meters southwest of RSC-007 (131.1 meters at 2.84 gpt Au, [430 ft at 0.083 oz/ton]) and 210 meters southwest of RSC-003 (146.3 meters at 2.92 gpt Au [480 ft at 0.085 oz/ton]), which were drilled in 2008. The known strike of the high grade gold zone is 210 meters. Drilling is currently following this zone along strike and down dip.
* Drilling in 2008 (15 core holes) indicated a body of mineralization at North Stock approximately 450 meters along strike, 200 meters wide, and with a depth of at least 550 meters. Over 40 percent of all assays within this body were above cutoff (0.25 gpt Au). The average grade of mineralized intersections above a cutoff of 0.25 gpt Au is 0.96 gpt Au (excluding drill holes RSC–17, RSC-18 and RSC-20).
* The drill results from drill holes RSC-017 and RSC-018 continue to confirm the presence of an extensive zone of bulk tonnage halo gold mineralization at North Stock which contains intervals of higher grades. Drill holes RSC-017 intersected 137.2 meters at 0.87 gpt Au (450 ft at 0.025 oz/ton) and RSC-018 intersected 48.8 meters at 0.99 gpt Au (160 ft at 0.029 oz/ton), 54.9 meters at 0.81 gpt Au (180 ft at 0.024 oz/ton) and 120.4 meters at 0.61 gpt Au (395 ft at 0.018 oz/ton).
* Assays from drill hole RSC-016 in Antelope Basin, approximately 725 meters south of North Stock, also confirms long intervals of bulk tonnage halo gold mineralization (61.5 meters at 0.40 gpt Au [202 ft at 0.012 oz/ton], 79.2 meters at 0.85 gpt Au [260 ft at 0.025 oz/ton]).
* Geophysical survey results (CSAMT) strongly support a large body of mineralization extending from North Stock for approximately one kilometer to the south through Antelope Basin and further to South Stock. Drilling in 2009 will test the continuity of mineralization along this trend.
* Metallurgical studies are underway with initial results expected to be released within the next two months, and an external scoping study and preliminary resource estimate is pending for Q-1 in 2010.
* North Stock is one of at least ten known alkalic intrusive and diatreme centers on the Evolving Gold property. Drilling in 2009 will focus on the North Stock. Preliminary drilling will test Antelope Basin and South Stock. Evolving Gold will complete mapping and sampling over other promising targets this year. Evolving currently holds 3,008 ha (7,433 acres) of federal lode claims and leases from the State of Wyoming including recent additions to the land holdings at Rattlesnake.
* The high grade results from RSC-020 will be confirmed by a program of metallic screen fire assay.
The above drill holes are angle holes designed to drill across the high grade mineralization and associated contact of the diatreme complex. Due to variations in dip, the angle of intersection of the drill hole with the contact and mineralization may be relatively small in some cases. At this time the number of intersections of the high grade mineralization are not sufficient to properly estimate the true width of the intersections. Additional drilling is planned to offset the high grade intersections at intervals of 30-50 meters to allow for an estimate of the true widths of the high grade mineralization.
Gold assays were completed by SGS Canada Inc. in Toronto, using a 30 gram charge, fire assay, with an ICP finish. For over limit assay results, initial assays in excess of 10.0 gpt Au, a gravimetric finish is utilized.
