ATLANTA, GA — (Marketwire) — 12/07/12 — Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: DGRI) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed site visits this week in Nicaragua. Two sites were selected for the first mill operations, with installation to begin during the first quarter of 2013.
“We are encouraged by the developments that have occurred since we first assayed material in the Chinandega area. Based on our onsite evaluations, we believe that there is sufficient ore of similar quality to our sample to warrant the commissioning of a 150 ton per day mill,” said Daniel Hollis, CEO. There are significant opportunities to process new ore in an environmentally friendly manner, and to remediate some of the previously processed ore from rastras in the area. We expect to begin milling on this site during second quarter 2013.
The Company also conducted site evaluations in two other areas. Subject to permitting and other considerations, DGRI is planning to launch a second mill later in the quarter on a second property.
Environmental concerns are taken into the planning on both mills, using a recovery process that will not harm the environment. “After seeing the natural beauty of Nicaragua, we are proud the we have found milling approaches that will fulfill the social contract that we enter into with the people, to provide safe recovery systems, to be good stewards of the environment and to support the local population with jobs that make a difference,” said Mr. Hollis.
Upon commencement of production in Nicaragua, the Company believes that it can expand its area of operations, adding new projects whiles optimizing output from this first joint venture. Photographs from the site visits will be posted December 11, 2012.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company–s current expectation regarding future events. Actual events could differ materially and substantially from those projected herein and depend on a number of factors. Certain statements in this release, and other written or oral statements made by Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves according to two different standards. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The definitions of NI 43-101 are adopted from those given by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. U.S. reporting requirements are governed by the SEC Industry Guide 7 (“Guide 7”). These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. Under Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.
We disclose mineral reserves and mineral resources according to the definitions set forth in NI 43-101 and modify them as appropriate to confirm to Guide 7 for reporting in the U.S. In our Form 10-K, filed with the SEC, we use the term “mineralized material” to describe the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by United States standards. This is substantially equivalent to the total measured mineral resources and indicated mineral resources (disclosed as inclusive of reserves), which we disclose for reporting purposes in Canada. U.S. investors are cautioned that, while the terms “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws; rules adopted by the SEC do not recognize them. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that any measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into Guide 7 compliant reserves.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission limits disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use certain terms on this web site, such as “reserves,” “resources,” “geologic resources,” “proven,” “probable,” “measured,” “indicated,” or “inferred,” which may not be consistent with the reserve definitions established by the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Form 10-K filed with SEC. You can also review and obtain copies of these filings from the SEC–s website.
