About Emgold Mining Corporation

Emgold's primary focus is permitting the re-opening of the Idaho-Maryland
Project in California. The Idaho-Maryland Mine produced 2.4 million ounces of
gold at an average recovered grade of 0.43 ounces per ton between 1862 and 1956.
Once the Environmental Impact Report is complete, operating permits are
obtained, and subject to available financing, the Company plans to dewater and
rehabilitate the historic underground workings, conduct underground exploration,
and ultimately, if exploration is successful, construct a high grade underground
gold operation capable of producing over 200,000 ounces of gold per year. 


Emgold has several other exploration properties located in the western U.S. and
Canada. These include the Buckskin Rawhide and Koegel Rawhide gold properties in
Nevada and the Stewart and Rozan poly-metallic properties in British Columbia
where it is conducting exploration activities. Emgold plans to complete
exploration on these properties with the goal of defining mineral resources.

For more information on the Company, investors should review the Company's
filings that are available at www.sedar.com or the Company's website at
www.emgold.com. This news release includes certain statements that are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws
including statements regarding the timing of completion of the Final EIR for the
Idaho-Maryland Project, plans to dewater and rehabilitate the underground
workings, the Company's other planned work programs, exploration potential,
expected results, and other statements. Forward-looking statements are based on
certain assumptions that the City of Grass Valley and its consultants, which are
funded by Emgold, will complete the EIR in a reasonable timeframe, the City of
Grass Valley will certify the EIR as complete, and the City of Grass Valley will
approve the Conditional Use Permit for the mine and approve other entitlements
under their authority. They assume other permitting agencies overseeing the
project on a local, state and federal level will grant the permits needed for
mining construction and operation. They assume that actual results of permitting
and exploration are consistent with management's expectations, that assumptions
relating to exploration targets are accurate, and that necessary financing is
available to complete the required exploration work.. They include assumptions
about production rates, production grades, and gold recoveries. Although the
Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements
are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of
future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the
failure to obtain the required permits and approvals, exploration results that
are different than those anticipated, inability to raise or otherwise secure
capital to fund planned permitting, exploration, mine construction and
development, and mine operations. Other risk factors include changes in metal
prices, the price of the Company's shares, the costs of labour, the cost of
equipment, the cost of supplies, actual development and mining operation
successes, exploitation and exploration successes, approvals by federal, state,
and local agencies, permitting delays, legal challenges to permits, general
economic, market or business conditions, and other factors beyond the control of
the Company. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees
of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company does not
intend to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as to a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
law.
