Evolving Gold Continues Aggressive Drilling Programs on Nevada Gold Prospects

January 10, 2008, Vancouver, British Columbia: Evolving Gold Corp. (TSX-V:EVG) (OTCBB: EVOGF) (FSE:EV7) (the �Company� or �Evolving�) is pleased to announce its exploration progress to date and plans for its 2008 program of exploration drilling on its portfolio of gold projects in the south-west United States. In total, the Company controls approximately 100,000 acres of exploration lands, mainly in north-central Nevada Drilling has begun on the Company�s Siesta gold/silver project, immediately south of the Sleeper gold deposit in Humboldt County, Nevada and the Company will release an update on the same as soon as results become available.

In addition, the first-phase drill programs at the Malone (New Mexico) and Fisher Canyon (Humboldt Range, Nevada) prospects have recently been completed (assays are pending on both) and drilling at the Company�s Sheep Creeks project near the Carlin Trend in Nevada is ongoing.

The Company�s exploration plans call for the continuous drilling of its entire portfolio of gold prospects in southwest United States throughout 2008 and such exploration plans will use at a minimum the three drill rigs currently in operation. Drilling is also set to begin on the Company�s Carlin District properties. Such properties are being explored as part of an earn-in agreement from Newmont Mining Corporation as previously announced in the Company�s news release dated December 5, 2007.

Evolving�s Vice President of Exploration, Dr. Quinton Hennigh states: �We are extremely excited to have begun drill testing our portfolio of gold prospects in Nevada and New Mexico. 2007 was a year of property acquisition, establishing a portfolio of projects based on sound geological criteria as a foundation towards our goal of discovering potentially world-class gold deposits in one of the world�s most gold-endowed regions. In contrast, 2008 will be a year of drilling and generating news for our shareholders.�

Siesta Gold/Silver Project (Nevada)
Drilling began January 7 at the Company�s 14,000 acre Siesta gold/silver project. The Siesta property, which was staked and is controlled 100 percent by the Company is located immediately south of the high-grade Sleeper epithermal gold/silver deposit in Humboldt County, Nevada. It covers approximately 18 kilometers of strike length of favorable host rocks between Sleeper to the north and the new discoveries at Sandman (Fronteer Development Group Inc.) to the south. Sleeper was the highest-grade epithermal gold deposit discovered in Nevada.

To date, the covered property has been explored by gravity, magnetic, and induced polarization (IP) surveys, and multiple drill targets have been generated, based on structural and alteration criteria.

The reverse circulation drill is currently on site, and ready to initiate the program. The planned program will include approximately 34 holes on multiple targets as a first phase with holes averaging over 150 meters in depth.

Sheep Creeks (Nevada) Project
Reverse circulation drilling at the Company�s approximately 50,000 acre Sheep Creeks project, located near the Carlin trend in north-central Nevada, was initiated in late November and is ongoing. The first hole was partially completed to 463 meters but was stopped short of the planned depth of approximately 550 meters due to mechanical problems.

The first hole has been partially twinned and cased by the reverse circulation rig, and will be completed by conventional Diamond drilling to the planned final depth. At least 2,000 additional meters of drilling is planned in the vicinity of the first hole using reverse circulation pre-collaring to depths of 200 to 300 meters and Diamond drilling to complete the holes. Both the reverse circulation and Diamond drills are currently operating on the property.

The objective at Sheep Creeks project is to assess the Company�s geologic model which anticipates a northern continuation of the prolific Carlin trend of gold deposits.

Malone Gold Project (New Mexico)
Diamond drilling at the Malone gold project in New Mexico was completed on January 2, 2008. Approximately 850 meters of drilling were completed in 9 holes, to depths of up to 183 meters. All holes targeted vein and stock work gold-silver mineralization in crystalline basement rocks, which is exposed at surface and which was mined historically on a small scale.

Fisher Canyon Project (Nevada)
The first phase of drilling at the Fisher Canyon project, located on the eastern flank of the prolific Humboldt Range in north-central Nevada was completed on December 17, 2007. A total of approximately 1000 meters were completed in 13 shallow holes ranging between 40 meters and 137 meters deep along a strike length of approximately 500 meters. The purpose of the shallow drilling was to test a gold-silver-mineralized calcareous shale horizon which was discovered cropping out at surface on the property. Drill samples have been submitted for assay and results are pending.

Other Projects
Three additional Newmont earn-in properties including Boulder Valley, Carlin and Cottonwood will be drilled during 2008 include the four land packages recently acquired from Newmont Mining Corporation (the �Evolving-Newmont earn-in properties�) in the prolific Carlin trend (see the Company�s news release dated December 5, 2007) and the Rattlesnake gold prospect located in Wyoming.

The Evolving-Newmont earn-in properties include approximately 30,000 acres of exploration ground along the prolific Carlin gold trend. Also included in the Newmont earn-in properties are approximately 10,500 acres which adjoins the Company�s Sheep Creeks project. Collectively, the Sheep Creeks property gives the Company the opportunity to test several critical geophysical anomalies that the Company�s geological team suggests may represent �pieces� of the Carlin trend that became dismembered during younger, Miocene-age tectonism.

At the Winnemucca Mountain gold project located in Humboldt County, near the town of Winnemucca, Nevada, Meridian Gold Company has terminated their earn-in agreement with the Company as of December 28, 2007.
