VANCOUVER,Feb. 24, 2012/CNW/ - Evolving Gold Corp. (TSX: EVG) (OTCQX: EVOGF) (FSE: EV7) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the 2011 drill program at its 100% ownedJake Creekgold property in Nevada expanded the size of the gold system. Intersections included 39.6m of 0.873 g/t Au, and 19.8m of 0.676 g/t Au, including 1.5m of 3.1 g/t Au.

Summary of Results:

The 2011Jake Creekreverse-circulation (RC) drilling program included 3,580.8 meters of drilling in eleven holes. The eleven holes stepped outward to the west and east from drill hole JC-005, a 2010 drill hole that intersected 28.9m of 1.33 g/t gold and included a 1.5m interval of 11.3 g/t gold from 236.2 - 237.7 meters(release November 18, 2010). Results of the eleven-hole program are as follows:

• Drill-hole intersections include:39.6m of 0.873 g/t goldin JC-002,19.8m of 0.676 g/t goldin JC-006,1.5m of 3.1 g/t goldwithin16.7m of 0.605 g/t goldin JC-013.
• Drilling successfully outlined an epithermal, volcanic-hosted gold system containing sub-horizontal and laterally extensive low-grade gold mineralization. Gold mineralization includes locally banded epithermal veins and gold in quartz-stockwork zones up to 11.3 g/t.
• Drilling indicates that the gold system exceeds 550 meters wide east-west and remains open to the north, south and east.
• JC-013, the most easterly drill hole, confirmed the presence of multiple zones of epithermal veins with banded quartz and sooty pyrite, as well as sulfidized basalt dikes.
• Gold mineralization is hosted in bleached, clay altered and silicified tuff above Paleozoic siliciclastic rocks. Gold-bearing zones contain elevated concentrations of arsenic, selenium, antimony, mercury and silver, typical of other well-documented epithermal, volcanic-hosted gold systems.

"We are excited to have identified another large, blind gold system in Nevada, between the large Twin Creeks and Getchell deposits to the west, and the Midas district to the east," saysSteve Koehler, Chief Geologist for the Company. "We have just begun to explore this exciting system. The strong alteration, multiple zones of epithermal, banded quartz and sooty pyrite veins, along with extensive gold mineralization is all very encouraging in a system which remains wide open for expansion. We believe theJake Creekgold target has great potential and look forward to further drilling on this project."

Jake Creek 2011 Drill Hole Results

*Holes released November 21, 2011. Primary drill composites were calculated using a 0.300 g/t gold cutoff, with variable higher cutoffs for the sub-intervals. True thicknesses at this stage of exploration are not precisely known.

Evolving Gold's 2012 exploration plans include airborne geophysics, geologic mapping, geochemical sampling, and additional reverse circulation (RC) drilling.

Drill samples are 1.5 meters and were collected with a reverse-circulation drill. Samples were shipped to SGS Minerals Services in Elko, Nevada for preparation and to SGS' lab inToronto, Ontario for analysis. Gold results were determined using standard fire assay techniques on 30-gram pulps with an ICP finish. QA/QC included the insertion of standards, blanks and field duplicates on a regular basis.

In compliance with National Instrument 43-101, Company Chief Geologist, Steven R. Koehler, BSc Geology and CPG, is the Qualified Person responsible for the accuracy of this news release.
