EXPLANATORY NOTE


Entrée Gold Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act.  The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act.  The equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This Annual Report on Form 40-F and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements concern the Company’s anticipated results and developments in the Company’s operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future.  These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited.  Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:

·

risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits;

·

results of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations;

·

mining and development risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns, labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production;

·

the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies;

·

risks related to the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses;

·

risks related to commodity price fluctuations;

·

the uncertainty of profitability based upon the Company’s history of losses;

·

risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms for the Company’s planned exploration and development projects;

·

risks related to environmental regulation and liability;



·

risks that the amounts reserved or allocated for environmental compliance, reclamation, post-closure control measures, monitoring and on-going maintenance may not be sufficient to cover such costs;

·

risks related to tax assessments;

·

risks related to differences between U.S. and Canadian practices for reporting resources and reserves;

·

risks related to currency fluctuations;

·

risks related to governmental regulations;

·

uncertainty in our ability to obtain and maintain certain permits necessary to our current and anticipated operations;

·

uncertainty relating to our ability to attract and maintain qualified management to meet the needs of our anticipated growth and risks relating to our ability to manage our growth effectively;

·

risks related to our mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title;

·

risks related to our history of losses, which we may continue to incur in the future;

·

risks related to increased competition that could adversely affect our ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties for mineral exploration in the future;

·

risks related to our officers and directors becoming associated with other natural resource companies which may give rise to conflicts of interests;

·

political and regulatory risks associated with mining development and exploration; and

·

other risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s prospects, properties and business strategy.


This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described further in the exhibits attached to this Annual Report.  Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change.  Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements.


NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS -

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES


Even though the Company is a Canadian issuer and is permitted under the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to prepare this annual report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, including Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  Therefore, no reconciliation is required or included.


CURRENCY


Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this Annual Report on Form 40-F are in United States dollars.  The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 31, 2007, based upon the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers payable in Canadian dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was U.S.$1.00 = CDN$0.9881.




RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES


The Company’s Annual Information Form filed as Exhibit 1 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws.  The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’ (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the Securities Act.  Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.  “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all, or any part, of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.  Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this report and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


The Company’s management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is filed as Exhibit 3 and incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 40-F.




DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


At the end of the period covered by this report, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act).  Based on that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Company’s management, with the participation of the CEO and the CFO, reached the conclusion above as to the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures notwithstanding the fact that management determined that there were material weaknesses with respect to the Company's internal control  over financial reporting.  Management determined that the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting regarding information technology security and tax accounting did not arise from a lapse in the Company's disclosure policies.  


MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s management has employed a framework consistent with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), to evaluate the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals.   

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation.  


In performing the assessment, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control processes regarding information technology systems. These weaknesses included inadequate security, inadequate restricted access to systems and insufficient disaster recovery plans. Management has also identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control processes over the accounting for income taxes, including deferred tax assets and the availability of resource expenditures in foreign jurisdictions.  Because of these material weaknesses, management believes that as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.  The Company is addressing these weaknesses as described below under the section heading “Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”.  Because of the material weaknesses described above, management believes that as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting was not effective.




The Company is required to provide an auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.   In this report, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Accountants, in Vancouver, BC, must state its opinion as to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.   Davidson & Company LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F and has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  The Auditor’s Attestation Report is included in the Company’s financial statements, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, in order to remediate the material weaknesses identified above, the Company implemented the following changes in internal control over financial reporting:

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Information Technology Controls


The changes in internal controls over financial reporting taken by management, described below, were designed to remedy the Company’s material weaknesses in security system access and disaster recovery.  Management has taken immediate steps to increase the security of our network and has initiated a disaster recovery plan. Management is working to establish a strong and effective control environment.


As management continues to work toward improving the Company’s information technology systems during the 2008 fiscal year, sound information technology security practices will continued to be integrated throughout the Company in a compliant and consistent manner.


Remediation of Material Weaknesses Over Accounting for Income Taxes


The Company is utilizing the services of an external tax consultant to remedy the weaknesses in the Company’s income tax process.


The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurances that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR


There were no notices required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR that the Registrant sent during the year ended December 31, 2007 concerning any equity security subject to a blackout period under Rule 101 of Regulation BTR.

AMEX CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


The Company’s common shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”).  Section 110 of the AMEX Company Guide permits AMEX to consider the laws, customs and practices of foreign issuers in relaxing certain AMEX listing criteria, and to grant exemptions from AMEX listing criteria based on these considerations.  A company seeking relief under these provisions is required to provide written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by home country law.  A description of the significant ways in which the Company’s governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies pursuant to AMEX standards is as follows:

Shareholder Meeting Quorum Requirement:  The AMEX minimum quorum requirement for a shareholder meeting is one-third of the outstanding shares of common stock.  In addition, a company listed on AMEX is required to state its quorum requirement in its bylaws.  The Company’s quorum requirement is set forth in its Articles and bylaws.  A quorum for a meeting of members of the Company is two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 5% of the shares entitled to be voted at the meeting.

Proxy Delivery Requirement:  AMEX requires the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings, and requires that these proxies shall be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to SEC proxy rules. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, and the equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from the proxy rules set forth in Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange Act.  The Company solicits proxies in accordance with applicable rules and regulations in Canada.

The foregoing are consistent with the laws, customs and practices in Canada.

In addition, the Company may from time-to-time seek relief from AMEX corporate governance requirements on specific transactions under Section 110 of the AMEX Company Guide by providing written certification from independent local counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by our home country law, in which case, the Company shall make the disclosure of such transactions available on the Company’s website at www.entreegold.com.  Information contained on its website is not part of this annual report.


UNDERTAKING


The Company undertakes to make available, in person or by telephone, representatives to respond to inquiries made by the SEC staff, and to furnish promptly, when requested to do so by the SEC staff, information relating to: the securities registered pursuant to Form 40-F; the securities in relation to which the obligation to file an annual report on Form 40-F arises; or transactions in said securities.


CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS


The Company filed an Appointment of Agent for Service of Process and Undertaking on Form F-X signed by the Company and its agent for service of process with the SEC on Form 10-SB on October 12, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference, with respect to the class of securities in relation to which the obligation to file this annual report arises.
