Entrée Gold Management Changes


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada, Sept. 22 /CNW-AsiaNet/ --


Entrée Gold Inc. (TSX:ETG; NYSE AMEX:EGI; Frankfurt:EKA - "Entrée" or the "Company") is pleased to announce

the addition of Susan McLeod to its executive team as Vice President, Legal. Ms. McLeod has been practicing law

in Vancouver, Canada since 1997. She has worked as outside counsel to public companies engaged in

international mineral exploration and mining. She has advised clients with respect to corporate finance activities,

mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and continuous disclosure matters, and mining-related

commercial agreements.


Greg Crowe, President & CEO, said, "With the expansion of Entrée's business into a number of jurisdictions

worldwide, the presence of in-house legal counsel will aid in the timely and cost-effective execution of programs

and corporate planning. We have known and worked with Susan since 2003, and are excited to have her join our

executive team."


The Company also announces it has commenced a search for a new Chief Financial Officer to replace Hamish

Malkin, who will be transitioning out of the role for personal reasons. The search is being conducted by a

professional search firm, in consultation with Entrée's management and board of directors.


Greg Crowe noted, "We will be sorry to see Hamish go and we wish him the best in his future endeavours. He has

contributed significantly during his seven years at Entrée and we appreciate his efforts and dedication over this

time. Fortunately, it will be business as usual while we carry out our search, since Hamish will continue to serve as

Chief Financial Officer until a suitable replacement is identified. Hamish has agreed to assist in any transition

issues that may arise after he steps down. Entrée has a strong accounting and finance team who will assist to

ensure all key financial reporting requirements are met."


ABOUT ENTRÉE GOLD INC.


Entrée Gold Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the worldwide exploration and

development of copper and gold prospects. The Company's flagship Lookout Hill property in Mongolia completely

surrounds the 8,500-hectare Oyu Tolgoi project of Ivanhoe Mines. A portion of the Lookout Hill property is subject

to a joint venture with Ivanhoe Mines, through its subsidiary Oyu Tolgoi LLC. The joint venture property hosts the

Hugo North Extension copper-gold deposit and the Heruga copper-gold-molybdenum deposit. Excellent exploration

potential remains on the joint venture property for the discovery of additional mineralized zones.


Under the terms of the joint venture, Entrée is carried through to production, at its election, by debt financing from

Ivanhoe Mines with interest accruing at Ivanhoe Mines' actual cost of capital or prime +2%, whichever is less, at the

date of the advance. Debt repayment may be made in whole or in part from (and only from) 90% of monthly

available cash flow arising from its sale of product. Such amounts will be applied first to payment of accrued

interest and then to repayment of principal. Available cash flow means all net proceeds of sale of Entrée's share of

products in a month less Entrée's share of costs of operations for the month.


In North America, the Company is exploring for porphyry-related copper systems in Nevada, Arizona and New

Mexico. The primary asset in Nevada is the Ann Mason property, which contains an inferred mineral resource and

considerable potential for additional targets. Entrée optioned two contiguous properties to Ann Mason, Blackjack

and Roulette, through option agreements with HoneyBadger Exploration Ltd. and Bronco Creek Exploration Inc.


The Company is also seeking additional opportunities to utilize its expertise in exploring for deep and/or concealed

ore deposits. With a treasury of approximately C$30 million, the Company is well-funded for future activities.


Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Mines are major shareholders of Entrée, holding approximately 13% and 12% of issued and

outstanding shares, respectively.
