Entrée Gold Inc., www.entreegold.com – the globally-focused, Canadian-based mineral exploration firm with major operations in Mongolia, announced yesterday that the Company has received a mining license for its Nomkhon Bohr coal discovery.

Originally explored in 08-09, the license covers some 14,030 hectares over Permian strata historically characterized by rich coal deposits in this part of the Gobi Desert – indeed, the license covers what is basically the NW corner of the proven former Togoot exploration license.

President and CEO of Entrée, Greg Crowe, cited the diligent efforts of the Company in working closely with resource consultants in Mongolia, as well as the Minerals Council, to ensure rigorous adherence to regulatory criterion, and characterized the 100%-ownership, 30-year initial term license as constituting an ideal strategic position.
