(TSXV:ETU)(OTCQB:ETUGF) (the 'Company', 'E2Gold') is pleased to announce the addition of Peter Bojtos, P.Eng., to its Board of Directors and also reports on recent exploration activities at its Band-Ore Project west of Thunder Bay. A property-wide prospecting program returned results including 23.60, 12.50, and 9.26 gold g/t in surface grab samples. These and other high-grade samples span a 6 km trend from north of the Main Zone, westward.

Mr. Bojtos is currently Chairman of Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd., and brings worldwide experience in all facets of the mining industry, from corporate management and financing to exploration, development and mining.

Dr. David Good, Chairman of E2Gold, stated, 'We welcome Peter to our team, and look forward to his involvement. He brings added strength and diversity of experience to a knowledgeable and talented group.'

On the exploration front, recent prospecting has confirmed high-grade gold occurrences distributed over much of its Band-Ore Project west of Thunder Bay, Ontario (see Figure 1 and Table 1 below). Some 37 of 79 samples taken showed at least anomalous values over 100 ppb. The following summarize some of the high-grade results:

• 23.60 gold g/t in Trench GSH-11-03, located some 250 m north of the Main Zone;
• 12.50 gold g/t and 9.26 gold g/t at the Western Powerline prospect, some 6 km west of the Main Zone, hosted in sheared and silicified volcanic rocks with pyrite and copper sulfides, possibly part of the same corridor as the Main Zone;
• 6.75 gold g/t at the Hag Lake prospect, located 3 km west of the Main Zone, in sheared pyritic and silicified volcanic rocks.
