Evolving Gold Update

- 20,000 m Drill Program Planned for Late May at Rattlesnake Hills, WY

- Drilling Continues at the Carlin, Nevada Project

- Rattlesnake Hills 43-101 Technical Report Expected in May

VANCOUVER, April 15 /CNW/ - Evolving Gold Corp. (TSXV: EVG) (FSE: EV7) (the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its Rattlesnake Hills, WY and Carlin, NV projects.

Rattlesnake Hills - 2010 Drill Program

    
    -   2010 program planned to commence in late May, 2010.
    -   At least 20,000 meters of drilling using three track-mounted core
        rigs to provide more flexibility in targeting.
    -   Five new exploration targets will be tested.
    -   The main porphyry target will be tested with additional drill holes.
    -   Drilling is expected to be 45% extensions of known zones and 65%
        exploration of new zones.
    -   Approximately 40 new drill pads are planned at North Stock, Antelope
        Basin and five exploration targets.
    

Rattlesnake Hills - Insights from Drilling to Date

    
    -   Drilling to date has defined a large volume of bulk halo
        mineralization with high gold grades along structures.
    -   The North Stock system is open along strike to the NE and SW, and
        appears to bend to the NW as it wraps around a phonolite plug and is
        open at depth. High grades in several holes continue to depths in
        excess of 250 m.
    -   North Stock was drilled as a bulk tonnage target with drill spacing
        too wide to adequately define the high grade structures and veins.
        However, a core area within the halo mineralization, roughly 250 m
        long, 100 m wide and persisting to at least 300 m depth, is the focus
        of drill intersections with grades typically in excess of 2 gpt Au.
    -   The higher grade zone at Antelope Basin dips shallowly to the NW and
        is open along strike to the SW, NE and at depth. Numerous intercepts
        of mineralized porphyry dikes, especially to the SE of North Stock,
        are interpreted as indicating an exploration target of a gold
        porphyry at depth in this area. There is growing information
        connecting the gold porphyries to the higher grade mineralization at
        North Stock. The Company interprets the mineralized porphyries as
        potentially major drivers for the gold mineralization at Rattlesnake
        Hills. The Company plans to test this target with 3-4 deeper core
        holes in 2010.The geophysical program during summer of 2009,
        especially CSAMT, coupled with surface mapping and sampling,
        indicates the system may be larger and more complex than previously
        believed with additional exploration targets identified that have
        received no drilling to date.

Rattlesnake Hills - 43-101 Technical report

The company has contracted AMEC, a major engineering consulting firm, to complete a revised technical report and a 43-101 compliant resource estimate, with expected completion in May, 2010. This will be the first resource ever reported at Rattlesnake Hills, and will quantify drilling progress to date on the project, which remains wide open for significant expansion.

Final Option Payment on Rattlesnake Hills

Evolving Gold has exercised its Rattlesnake Hills Option in full to complete the acquisition of 100% of the Rattlesnake Hills Property. The total land package controlled by Evolving Gold at Rattlesnake Hills is approximately 13,570 acres or 5,490 hectares.

Carlin Project - Drilling Program

Drilling has been initiated at the Carlin project in Nevada. Evaluation of the cost and risks of drilling wedge holes off the existing CAR-007 drill hole has led the management of Evolving Gold to focus additional drilling on new offset drill holes, using the traditional rotary pre-collar approach. Two new precollars are planned as 200 meter offsets from the CAR-007 drill hole, which intersected high grade gold in favorable Lower Plate units, as previously reported (see 2/25/10 news release), including 18.3 meters at 11.7 gpt Au (60 feet at 0.340 opt Au) starting at 928 meters (3,045 feet).

Quinton Hennigh, President and Chief Geologist, comments, "We are very excited about the high grades intersected in CAR-007. 200 meters is a major offset in a system such as this. Though we believe that we have identified a major new zone of gold mineralization in a previously under-explored portion of the Carlin Trend, it will take a considerable amount of work to start to understand the full size potential of this system."
