ENTRÉE GOLD FILES PRELIMINARY BASE SHELF PROSPECTUS

Vancouver, B.C., November 2, 2010 Entrée Gold Inc. (TSX:ETG; NYSE AMEX:EGI; Frankfurt:EKA – “Entrée” or the “Company”) has today filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec, and a corresponding shelf registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on Form F-10.
 
These filings, when made final, will allow the Company to make offerings of common shares, warrants, subscription receipts or any combinations of such securities (collectively, the “Securities”) up to an aggregate offering price of C$100,000,000 during the 25-month period that the final short form base shelf prospectus, including any amendments thereto, remains effective.  The Securities may be offered separately or together, in such amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an accompanying shelf prospectus supplement.
 
Greg Crowe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Entrée, commented “Filing a base shelf prospectus provides the Company with the flexibility to quickly raise funds or facilitate strategic investments should the need or opportunity arise.  It is important to note that the filings in no way commit us to undertake any particular financing.”
 
The net proceeds from the sale of the Securities, if any, are expected to be used by the Company for acquisitions, development of acquired mineral properties, working capital requirements and/or for other general corporate purposes.
 
The shelf registration statement filed today on Form F-10 relating to the Securities has not yet become effective.  The Securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective and the final short form base shelf prospectus is filed, along with a prospectus supplement describing the specific terms of an offering of securities.  This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
 
A copy of the preliminary short form base shelf prospectus may be obtained from the Company by contacting the Manager, Investor Relations at the address below.  A copy is also available electronically on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
