Drake Gold Resources: Company Update

Some questions have arisen about our disclosure statement. The following section in particular:

The Company does not operate, or own, or have the present intention to operate or own a mine, plant or other significant property for carrying out its business plan for mining operations.

A number of individuals have singled out this section and have read into it that Drake Gold Resources has no intention of developing its projects. This could not be further from the truth. The above portion of the disclosure statement simply points out that the company will be leasing land and then will make arrangements for mining, most likely contracting the work or aspects of it. This is simply a legal clarification of the nature of how this undertaking will be structured so that there is not a misunderstanding when statements are made referring to projects, i.e. our project does not mean we own the land only or that we have a right to the minerals extracted from it. We do not want to give the impression that the company owns the land, even if it does have the right to earn revenues from it. This is done mostly so that no one believes we could profit from the sale of these lands but only the leases.

We also wanted to point out that as of November, Chairman and Director Clayton Smith has not been involved with any other businesses other than that of Drake Gold Resources. He has not been involved in any of the research required for Clayton’s Corner or any of the other newsletters other than those related to Drake Gold Resources. The continuation of any newsletters outside those related to DKGR is performed with the assistance of others for the sake of the subscriber base and its maintenance.

We also want to give our best to John Cerenzia as he has left the company for personal reasons. He has done an exemplary job in his contributions to DKGR and has given us a great deal of value. This has been in the form of both expertise and wisdom that we carry forward into all of our present and future dealings.
