Full Description of Material Change

5.1 Full Description of Material Change

For a full description of the material change, see Schedule “A”.

Thirty-two drill holes (including daughter holes) on nine sections spaced at 150 to 300 metre intervals along a 1,600 metre strike length of the Heruga discovery have now been completed. Significant copper, gold and molybdenum mineralization has been intersected in new drill holes on six of these sections. Five drills are currently active on the Heruga Deposit.

Over 34,000 metres have been drilled to date on Heruga. The results of this work have provided Entrée and Ivanhoe with substantial information about the structure and controls of the mineralization. Recent drilling has outlined a coherent block of copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization extending for approximately 1,600 metres north-south, with a vertical thickness typically varying between 400 to 800 metres, and a width of 200 to 300 metres. The mineralization is deep, with the shallowest portion on most sections starting at between 500 and 600 metres vertical depth. Selected drilling results were provided in a table and are available on the company website.

SCHEDULE “A”


DRILLING EXPANDS ENTRÉE GOLD’S

HERUGA MINERALIZATION, MONGOLIA

Vancouver, B.C., January 16, 2008 - Entrée Gold Inc. (TSX:ETG; AMEX:EGI; Frankfurt:EKA – “Entrée” or the “Company”) announces additional significant results on the Heruga Deposit located within its Javhlant license, Mongolia, from partner and project operator, Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (TSX: IVN; NYSE: IVN; NASDAQ: IVN – “Ivanhoe Mines”). The Javhlant license, located to the south of the Oyu Tolgoi deposit, is included in the joint Entrée-Ivanhoe Mines agreement area.

Thirty-two drill holes (including daughter holes) on nine sections spaced at 150 to 300 metre intervals along a 1,600 metre strike length of the Heruga discovery have now been completed. Significant copper, gold and molybdenum mineralization has been intersected in new drill holes on six of these sections. Five drills are currently active on the Heruga Deposit.

Greg Crowe, President and CEO of Entrée, commented, “This latest round of drilling has increased the size of the copper-gold-molybdenum system at Heruga and confirmed similarities to Oyu Tolgoi-style mineralization. We now have much greater confidence in the continuity of the Heruga discovery from section to section. Our partner, Ivanhoe Mines, has undertaken an ambitious program to continue exploring this system, which remains open to the east and north. Combined with the mineralization discovered on Entrée’s ground to the north of Oyu Tolgoi, this mineralized structural trend has now been traced for over twenty kilometres, with the greatest upside potential for additional discoveries on Entrée’s ground.”

Discussion and Highlights of Recent Drilling

Over 34,000 metres have been drilled to date on Heruga. The results of this work have provided Entrée and Ivanhoe with substantial information about the structure and controls of the mineralization. Recent drilling has outlined a coherent block of copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization extending for approximately 1,600 metres north-south, with a vertical thickness typically varying between 400 to 800 metres, and a width of 200 to 300 metres. The mineralization is deep, with the shallowest portion on most sections starting at between 500 and 600 metres vertical depth.

The most recent results support the working theory that gold-rich copper mineralization is capped by a molybdenum-rich shell. The similarities in structural setting, host rock lithologies and styles of alteration suggest that the mineralization at Heruga was formed at the same time as that of the Oyu Tolgoi deposits located 5 to 15 kilometres to the north.

Current drilling is focused on adding to mineralization along the east side, with five holes in progress. To the west, mineralization is present on the down-dropped side of the Bor Tolgoi Fault, but has not been sufficiently defined. At the south end of the deposit, the zone is apparently cut-off by an east-west trending fault to the south of the EJD0022 section. In the north, hole EJD001A deepened the earlier hole, EJD001, which had been terminated at a depth of 1138 metres. Hole EJD001A intersected over 400

 

 


 

metres of gold-rich mineralization, supporting the theory that the mineralized zone deepens and plunges to the north below the depth of previous drilling.

The Oyu Tolgoi structural trend, as currently defined, now has a total strike length in excess of 20 kilometres, encompassing Oyu Tolgoi in the centre and extensions onto the joint Entrée/Ivanhoe agreement area to both the south and north. From the Heruga Deposit in the south, the trend now extends through the Oyu Tolgoi deposits to the lower grade Ulaan Khud Zone (Airport North Zone), located approximately 10 kilometres north-northeast of the Hugo Dummett Deposit.

Significant results from eight additional holes are summarized in Table 1. Hole collar locations are shown on a map posted on the Entree website at www.entreegold.com. Earlier drill results from Heruga were reported in news releases dated October 3 and October 9, 2007.
