About Dutch Gold Resources, Inc.

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. owns the lease of The Benton Mine consisting of 24 gold mining claims on 480 acres; which are all in good standing including 8 patented claims and 16 claims located on US Forest Service Land. Dutch Gold also owns the adjacent Gold Bug Mine on 110 acres with 5.5 patented claims. Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. acquired these interests in a share exchange agreement with Dutch Mining, LLC. The mines are located near Grants Pass, OR.

The Benton Mine was the largest gold mine in southwest Oregon during the late 1930's. It was founded in 1893 and was the largest underground mine in Oregon. World War II created a major setback for gold mining. During 1942, the War Production Board passed an order titled L-208 which stopped all non-essential mining; gold mining was included as non-essential. The order was revoked a few years later, however until recently the Benton Mine had been absent from commercial operations since 1942.

The Benton mine is an advanced stage development and production project with a substantial investment already made in recent exploration and development which has started delivering gold concentrate in 2007. Dutch Gold recently completed the construction and fine tuning of its ore mill. This is the only permitted, commercial scale mill in Oregon.

From 1994 to 1996 Dutch Mining LLC invested over $4.5 million exploring and developing the Benton Mine and undertook a baseline study for all the necessary permits to operate the mine and build an ore mill to produce gold ore concentrate. While mining the known ore bodies, the Company feels there is also the potential to significantly upgrade the resource base of Benton by drilling out areas untapped by historic mining and drilling.

In January 2005 Dutch Mining reopened the Benton Mine and performed a full rehabilitation of the mine, and built a new gold ore mill to process 330 tons of ore per day which can be increased to 450 tons as needed. From January 2005 until the present approximately $4.5 million of additional investments were made.

The Gold Bug Mine is owned by Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. From its discovery until 1942, it produced an average of two ounces of free gold per ton generating $750,000 of income when gold was at $20 an ounce. As soon as the Benton Mine is in full production we will begin further exploration and development of the Gold Bug Mine.
