Evolving Gold Drilling Update Rattlesnake Hills and Carlin
    VANCOUVER, July 31 /CNW/ - Evolving Gold Corp. (TSXV: EVG) (FSE: EV7)
(the "Company") is pleased to report on drilling progress at its Rattlesnake
Hills property in Wyoming and its Carlin property in the prolific Carlin Trend
in Nevada.

    Rattlesnake Hills

    20 core drill holes have been completed in the present season's drill
program at Rattlesnake Hills, and a further 4 drill holes are currently
underway. The company expects to release additional assay results from the
Rattlesnake Hills drilling in the next weeks once results are received and
interpreted.
    The fourth core rig is now drilling on the Rattlesnake Hills property as
part of the ongoing exploration program to define the extent of the high grade
gold zone and define the boundaries and potential of the larger body of bulk
tonnage style halo gold mineralization.
    Rattlesnake Hills is an alkalic gold system, similar in geology with the
Cripple Creek gold district in Colorado.

    Carlin Property

    Drilling at the Carlin property has intersected alteration and sulfides
in highly favorable host rocks. These rock units are similar to those that
host major zones of gold mineralization in the gold deposits in the Carlin
Trend.
    This drilling is designed to test geophysical results that suggest the
presence of favorable host rocks of the Carlin Trend that have not been tested
previously by drilling. The Carlin property is included as part of an
agreement with subsidiary companies of Newmont Mining Corporation.

    -   Drilling has intersected favorable host rocks, visually interpreted
        as Lower Plate rock units similar to those that host the high grade
        gold mineralization in the Carlin Trend.

    -   Abundant fine grained pyrite is present in these units at 2,800 -
        3,000 feet in the drill hole.

    -   Starting at 3,780 feet and continuing to the current bottom of the
        drill hole, approximately 4,000 feet, these favorable units are
        strongly altered (decalcified) and contain abundant arsenic sulfides
        (realgar and orpiment) and lesser amounts of antimony sulfide
        (stibnite) in veinlets and along fractures.

    -   Evolving Gold plans to mobilize a second drill rig to the Carlin
        property, pending discussions with local land owners, local officials
        and regulators.

    The Company cautions that these preliminary results are based on visual,
field observations. Gold assays are still pending for the drilling at Carlin,
with results expected within several weeks. Until such time as assay results
are received and released, the observed data should be considered speculative.
    Evolving Gold has approximately $19 million in its treasury, sufficient
funding to continue to aggressively explore the Rattlesnake Hills project and
to expand the drilling program at the Carlin property.
