Cautionary Statement
This corporate update contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forwardlooking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the future price of gold, copper and molybdenum, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve and resource estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, cost and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, requirements for additional capital and government regulation of mining operations. While Entre Gold Inc. (Entre or the Company) has based these forward-looking statements on its expectations about future events as at the date that such statements were prepared, the statements are not a guarantee of the Companys future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors and assumptions include, amongst others, the effects of general economic conditions, changing foreign exchange rates and actions by government authorities, uncertainties associated with legal proceedings and negotiations and misjudgements in the course of preparing forward-looking statements. In addition, there are also known and unknown risk factors which may cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Known risk factors are described in the section entitled Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Information Form dated March 25, 2011 filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators and available at www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Except as required under applicable securities legislation, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company's exploration activities are under the supervision of Robert Cann, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration of Entre. Mr. Cann is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). Except where otherwise noted, Mr. Cann is also responsible for the preparation of technical information contained in this corporate update. All minerals reserves and mineral resources have been calculated in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and NI 43-101. Cautionary Note to United States Investors: United States investors are advised that while the terms measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources inferred mineral resources and probable mineral reserves are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does not recognize them. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be upgraded to a higher category, or converted into mineral reserves. Inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally minable. Disclosure of contained ounces is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute reserves as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information contained in this corporate update containing descriptions of the Companys mineral properties may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The information in this corporate update is for informational purposes only. Readers should not rely on the information for any purpose other than to gain general knowledge of Entre. This information is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, part of an offering or solicitation of securities. Note 1: See the technical report titled "Lookout Hill Property Technical Report" dated June 9, 2010 prepared by AMEC Minproc Limited, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Note 2: Ann Mason is estimated to contain an inferred resource of 810.4 million metric tonnes grading 0.40% copper, using a 0.30% copper cut-off. Accompanying molybdenum is estimated at 165.9 million metric tonnes at a grade of 0.01% molybdenum. Based on these figures, the Ann Mason deposit contains approximately 7.1 billion pounds of copper. See the technical report titled NI 43-101 Compliant Technical Report on the Ann Mason Property, Nevada, USA with an effective date of March 11, 2011 prepared by Wardrop Engineering Inc. and Robert Cann, P.Geo., Entres Vice President, Exploration, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
