Tuesday July 10, 6:56 pm ET


Drake Gold Resources Is Implementing a Number of Changes and Enhancements Including Additional Projects and Management Changes


SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 10, 2007 -- Drake Gold Resources (Other OTC:DKGR.PK - News) is in the midst of implementing a broad set of changes to the company's architecture. "My role was really to prepare the company structurally. Now it's the turn of the natural resource recovery experts to carry these enhancements forward," Clayton Smith Interim CEO stated in regard to management changes and his stepping aside. The enhancements Mr. Smith refers to are changes in three key business areas: Mining, Oil and Gas, and Management.

DRAKE GOLD RESOURCES

The Jackpot Placer project has evolved over the past months into a comprehensive metals mining project. Preliminary samples have revealed not only gold but also other metals such as copper and silver. This development has been the motivation for funding a broader full-scale sampling program which will focus on the potential for other revenue producing metals to augment overall project profitability. The company is driven to realize all of the possible assets in a given amount of paydirt. An aggressive sampling program will be the only way to quantify the makeup of each of the identified precious metals. A timetable will be released to compliment the program.

Other projects that are currently being considered include the Dragoon Property, per the directive of previous management. This is not to say that expansions will be limited to eastern Arizona. A slate of properties are in various stages of development. These will include properties in Canada and other areas that for competitive reasons must remain unnamed. All new and current projects will be subject to internal review by incoming management.

DRAKE OIL AND GAS

As the Drake Oil and Gas entity develops, the company is taking steps to deliver on its promised dividend of 30 million shares to be divided equally by company shareholders. Delays were caused by a circumstance that involved the unauthorized issuance of stock. Subsequently, this stock has been recovered and thereby cancelled resulting in an outstanding share decrease of more then 60 million shares. Although inconvenient it was important that these shares be addressed so that a full accounting and equitable distribution be made to those investors of record who held fully authorized shares.

As this issue has been fully resolved Drake Gold Resources is now free to structure the new company and progress with project development unencumbered. With this resolution, management has proceeded to construct projects that will contribute to this new entity and create value for both the parent company and its shareholders. As these projects come to fruition, announcements will be made as strategy dictates.

MANAGEMENT MOVING FORWARD

The company has come far since Clayton Smith stepped in as interim CEO and President. With his leadership Drake Gold Resources has removed all major debt and a host of nagging concerns. Now it is important to recognize that with the resignation of Clayton Smith, Drake Gold Resources is moving from an internal structurally focused organization to a more outward project driven orientation. "I believe it was important for Drake to develop as an organization before undergoing this transformation," John Marconette, member of the board of directors said. DKGR will release information in the near term regarding newly appointed officers, directors, and advisory teams as well as a detailed look into the business model as it becomes available.
