(TSX:ETG; NYSE AMEX:EGI;\n Frankfurt:EKA - "Entrée" or the "Company") has commenced a combined\n reverse circulation- core drilling program at its Bisbee project in\n Arizona. The initial three hole, 2,400 metre program (including 1,200\n metres of reverse circulation pre-collars) will test a discrete buried\n geophysical target whose signature is similar to several known\n mineralized copper porphyry deposits in the Southwest USA. The Dixie\n target is located 6 kilometres north of the historic Lavender pit at\n Bisbee (refer to map on www.entreegold.com).\n\n\nThe drill target is a well-defined magnetic low/chargeability high\n geophysical feature measuring 3 kilometres x 2 kilometres located along\n a prominent north-northeast structural trend extending from the Bisbee\n copper-gold camp. Since the 1880s, Phelps Dodge mining company (now\n Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. - "Freeport McMoRan"), has\n produced more than 7 billion pounds of copper and 2 million ounces of\n gold in the Bisbee district mainly from the Copper Queen underground\n mine, the Sacramento pit and later the Lavender pit.  The Lavender pit\n is located immediately south of Freeport McMoRan's Cochise deposit,\n which is reported to contain 301 million tonnes of mineralized material\n grading 0.44% copper.\n\n\nGreg Crowe, Entrée's President and...
