2. Cautionary Statement
This corporate update contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information within the meaning
of applicable Canadian securities laws.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future prices of copper, gold and molybdenum, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the
realization of mineral reserve and resource estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production and capital expenditures, the costs and timing of the development of
new deposits, the potential for the discovery of additional mineralized zones on properties in which Entrée has an interest, the potential for the expansion of existing deposits in which Entrée has an
interest, plans to prepare and the timing for release of a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Ann Mason Project, the timing of and potential for future resource estimates on properties in which
Entrée has an interest, plans for future exploration and/or development programs and budgets, permitting time lines, anticipated business activities, corporate strategies, proposed acquisitions and
dispositions of assets and future financial performance. While Entrée Gold Inc. (“Entrée” or the “Company”) has based these forward-looking statements on its expectations about future events as at
the date that such statements were prepared, the statements are not a guarantee of the Company’s future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which
could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors and assumptions include, amongst others, that the size, grade
and continuity of deposits and resource and reserve estimates have been interpreted correctly from exploration results, that the prices of copper, gold and molybdenum will remain relatively stable,
the effects of general economic conditions, changing foreign exchange rates and actions by joint venture partners and by government authorities including the Government of Mongolia, uncertainties
associated with legal proceedings and negotiations and misjudgements in the course of preparing forward-looking statements. In addition, there are also known and unknown risk factors which may
cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. Known risk factors are described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 29, 2012 and in the Company’s most recent management
disclosure and anlysis filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators and available at www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual
actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
Except as required under applicable securities legislation, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
The Company's exploration activities are under the supervision of Robert Cann, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration of Entrée. Mr. Cann is a “qualified person” as defined in National Instrument 43-
101- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Mr. Cann has approved this corporate update.
All minerals reserves and mineral resources have been calculated in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and NI 43-101. Cautionary Note to
United States Investors: United States investors are advised that while the terms “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” “inferred mineral resources” and “probable mineral
reserves” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does not recognize them. United States investors are cautioned not to
assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be upgraded to a higher category, or converted into mineral reserves. Inferred mineral resources have a great amount
of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other
economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally minable. Disclosure of “contained
ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute reserves as in place tonnage and grade
without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information contained in this corporate update containing descriptions of the Company’s mineral properties may not be comparable to similar
information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.The
information in this corporate update is for informational purposes only. Readers should not rely on the information for any purpose other than to gain general knowledge of Entrée. This information is
not intended to be, and should not be construed as, part of an offering or solicitation of securities.
