Drake Gold Resources Inc. Completes Formation of the Diamond Exploration and Development Division (Drake Diamonds)

Wednesday June 14, 7:30 am ET

CENTURY CITY, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 14, 2006 -- Drake Gold Resources Inc. (Other OTC:DKGR.PK - News) is pleased to announce the creation of the Diamond Exploration and Development Division or Drake Diamonds.

The formation of this division is based on the targeted zones in Southern Saskatchewan, which are some of the best-known kimberlite discovery areas in the world. The surrounding areas include majors such as De Beers, Shore Gold, Kensington, and Great Western Diamonds among many junior players.

Drake Diamonds also welcomes the newest member of the Drake team, John Marconette. Mr. Marconette has a long-standing reputation in the business of investments and acquisitions of such projects. He has been self-employed for 20 years. He has been involved with turnaround projects, which have moved companies from negative to profitable situations. Most recently he has five years experience in the mining industry and has been exclusively helping DKGR over the last couple months prepare for upcoming acquisitions. The duties will cover the facilitation and acquisition of diamond and mining prospects as well as potential joint ventures in conjunction with targeted areas.

Mr. Marconette is currently aiding in finalizing a potential acquisition for Drake Diamonds of up to 36,000 Hectares in the heart of the southern mining mineral deposit district in Saskatchewan. Complete discloser and maps will be released as soon as possible once the Department of Industry and Resources approves the leases.

The Drake Team is pleased to update shareholders with the most recent activities on the other mining fronts. We have been pending a letter of intent with our strategic partner Thunder Gulch Resources Ltd. and have been informed by our senior consultant, Mr. Norm Pearson that they have completed their decisions on the initial project to acquire.

Information has been drawn up over the last couple months from properties north of the Historical Courtland-Glisan Mining Districts in Arizona that has brought Drake Gold to this point. The intent is to acquire projects that we can put into early production through placer or free gold mining operations to produce a steady cash flow from gold, silver and copper; a very effective and low cost alternative to full scale hard-rock mining for a junior mining company.

Mr. Pearson our senior consultant and President of TGR is a 31-year veteran in the placer mining industry and holds patented rights to placer machining equipment. Mr. Pearson already has equipment to set up operations very quickly and will announce preparations and timeframes to set up the site in Arizona. Complete discloser and maps will be released as the acquisition paperwork is completed.
