EcuaGold Reports That Its Concessions Are in Good Standing

EcuaGold Resources Ltd. ("the Company" or "EcuaGold") (TSX VENTURE:EGR)
announces that it has timely paid all mining fees on its concessions in Ecuador,
as required under Ecuador's current mining law. The Government announced last
week that 587 concessions were cancelled for the failure of the concessionaires
to pay the requisite annual mining fees when due. A recent Dow Jones Newswires
article mentioned that, among others, EcuaGold had lost some of its concessions.
The Company has not received any notification from the Government that any of
its concessions have been cancelled for any reason.


On Behalf of the Board of Directors of ECUAGOLD RESOURCES LTD.

Anthony F. Ciali, President, CEO and Director
