MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
(In United States dollars unless stated otherwise)
|
|
|

The Company trades on three stock exchanges: the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:ETG), the American Stock Exchange (AMEX:EGI) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB:EKA, WKN 121411). |

Equity Participation and Earn-In Agreement with Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. |
|
|
|
|
|
We entered into an arms-length Equity Participation and Earn-In Agreement dated October 15, 2004, with Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (Ivanhoe), an unrelated Yukon corporation which owns a copper-gold deposit known as Oyu Tolgoi, or Turquoise Hill, which is located adjacent to our Lookout Hill property. This agreement provided that, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, Ivanhoe would: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
subscribe for 4,600,000 units of our company for C$1.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share of our company and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share of our company for a purchase price of C$1.10 for two years from the date of purchase. Ivanhoe subsequently exercised the warrants and now owns 14.7% of Entrée. |
|
|
|
|
|
have the right, during an earn-in period beginning on closing of the subscription for units and ending, at the latest, on the eighth anniversary of that closing date (subject to earlier expiration as specified in the agreement), to earn a participating interest in a mineral exploration and, if warranted, development and mining project to be conducted by Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. on a portion of our companys Lookout Hill property consisting of approximately 40,000 hectares of the land area of our Lookout Hill property shown on the map below. The amount of the participating interest in the project will vary depending on the amount of money that Ivanhoe expends on the project during the earn-in period, but the agreement provides that Ivanhoe can earn a 51% interest by expending an aggregate of at least $20,000,000 during the earn-in period, a 60% interest by expending an aggregate of at least $27,500,000 during the earn-in period, or a sliding percentage interest, depending on the depth from which minerals are extracted from the project, of between 70% and 80% by expending an aggregate of at least $35,000,000 during the earn-in period. To December 31, 2006, Ivanhoe has advised us that they have spent approximately $17 million on the project. |
|
|
|
|
|
have the right to nominate one member of our Board of Directors until the earlier to occur of (a) the expiration of the earn-in period, or (b) the date upon which Ivanhoe ceases to own at least ten percent (10%) of our issued and outstanding common shares (assuming the exercise by Ivanhoe of all securities convertible into our common shares). |
|
|
|
|
In addition, the Equity Participation and Earn-In Agreement gives to Ivanhoe a pre-emptive right to such percentage of any offering of securities of our company as will enable them to preserve their ownership percentage in our company which, after the acquisition of the 4,600,000 units, would be approximately 9% prior to exercise of any of their share purchase warrants and could, upon the exercise of the latter, go as high as 17% of our issued and outstanding common shares. In June 2005, Ivanhoe exercised its 4,600,000 share purchase warrants (see below). |
|
|
|
|
|
The portion of our property subject to the Equity Participation and Earn-In Agreement, which is referred to in the agreement as the Project Property, is shown below: |

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
(In United States dollars unless stated otherwise)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We closed the private placement described in the Equity Participation and Earn-In Agreement on November 9, 2004, at which time Ivanhoe purchased the 4,600,000 units described above. In July 2005, Ivanhoe exercised its 4.6 million units in order to fully participate in a Rio Tinto private placement with Entrée (see below). |
|
|
|
On June 29, 2007, Ivanhoe exercised its A and B warrants purchased as part of a private placement in July 2005, and the Company issued 1,235,488 common shares for cash proceeds of $3,340,327. |
|
|
|
We believe that the Equity Participation and Earn-In Agreement represents a significant milestone in the development of our company. It has enabled us to raise money that we can use to pursue our exploration activities on the balance of our Lookout Hill property and elsewhere. It has the potential, depending on how much money Ivanhoe actually expends on the project during the earn-in period, to enable the exploration of that portion of our Lookout Hill property at little or no cost to our company. |

Investment by Rio Tinto in Entrée Gold Inc. |
|
|
|
In June 2005, Rio Tinto (one of the worlds largest mining and exploration companies), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc. (collectively, Rio Tinto) completed a private placement into Entrée, whereby they purchased 5,665,730 units at a price of C$2.20 per unit, which consisted of one Entrée common share and two warrants (one A warrant and one B warrant). Two A warrants entitle Rio Tinto to purchase one Entrée common share for C$2.75 within two years; two B |

warrants entitle Rio Tinto to purchase one Entrée common share for C$3.00 within two years. Proceeds from Rio Tintos investment were $10,170,207. Ivanhoe exercised its pre-emptive right to maintain proportional ownership of Entrées shares and thereby exercised its warrant for 4,600,000 shares at C$1.10, resulting in proceeds to Entrée of $4,069,214. In July 2005, Ivanhoe took part in the private placement, purchasing 1,235,489 units, resulting in further proceeds to Entrée of $2,217,209. Rio Tinto purchased an additional 641,191 units of the private placement to maintain proportional ownership, resulting in further proceeds of $1,150,681. |
|
|
|
On June 28, 2007, the Rio Tinto exercised its A and B warrants and the Company issued 6,306,920 common shares for cash proceeds of $17,051,716. |
|
|
|
At June 30, 2007, Ivanhoe owned approximately 14.9% of Entrées issued and outstanding shares. |
|
|
|
At June 30, 2007, Rio Tinto owned approximately 16.1% of Entrées issued and outstanding shares. |
|
|
|
Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto are required to vote their shares as our board of directors direct on all matters pertaining to the appointment of directors, the appointment and remuneration of our auditors and all other matters to be submitted to our stockholders except for extraordinary matters. Extraordinary matters are matters requiring a special majority (66.33%), the vote of a majority of disinterested stockholders and matters where Ivanhoe or Rio Tinto is precluded from voting. |
|
|
|
Investment by Rio Tinto in Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. |
|
|
|
In October 2006, Rio Tinto announced that it had agreed to invest up to $1.5 billion to acquire up to a 33.35% interest in Ivanhoe. The proceeds from this investment were targeted to fund the joint development of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project. The Company believes this investment represents, together with the subsequent exercise of the Entrée warrants, a major vote of confidence by one of the worlds pre-eminent mining companies in both the Oyu Tolgoi deposit and in the country of Mongolia. |
|
|
|
Corporate Information |
|
|
|
Our corporate headquarters are located in Vancouver, British Columbia, but we conduct all of our operations in Mongolia through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Entrée LLC. We maintain an office for this purpose in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Our Mongolian office is staffed by our Vice-President, Exploration, an operations manager, an office administrator, two office assistants, and a full-time accountant. Operations in the U.S. are conducted through field offices setup for specific projects. |
|
|
|
We believe that Entrée is in sound financial condition and well positioned to build upon the value of our company, both in terms of our arrangement with Ivanhoe and Rio Tinto and our exciting and promising prospects elsewhere. As part of our ongoing strategy, we are also actively seeking quality acquisitions to complement our existing portfolio. |

Mineral Resource Estimate |
|
|
|
In February 2006, Entrée announced that a mineral resource estimate prepared by Ivanhoe under the supervision of AMEC Americas Limited (AMEC) had delineated an initial Inferred Resource for the northern extension of the Hugo North deposit (the Hugo North Extension) on the Copper Flats area of Entrées Shivee Tolgoi license, in the South Gobi region of Mongolia. The drilling and exploration work |

that resulted in the preparation of this Inferred Resource estimate was conducted in order for Ivanhoe to earn an interest in Lookout Hill. |
|
|
|
In March 2007, the Company announced that an updated mineral resource estimate had been calculated, based on in-fill drilling conducted by Ivanhoe up to November 1, 2006. The updated mineral resource estimate was prepared by AMEC Americas Limited (AMEC) and the corresponding technical report was filed on April 3, 2007 on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). At a 0.6% copper equivalent cut-off, the Hugo North Extension is now estimated to contain an Indicated Resource of 117 million tonnes grading 1.80% copper and 0.61 g/t gold (a copper equivalent grade of 2.19%). This Indicated Resource is estimated to contain 4.6 billion pounds of copper and 2.3 million ounces of gold. In addition, the Hugo North Extension is estimated to contain an Inferred Resource of 95.5 million tonnes grading 1.15% copper and 0.31 g/t gold (a copper equivalent grade of 1.35%). The contained metal estimated within the Inferred Resource portion of the Hugo North Extension is 2.4 billion pounds of copper and 950,000 ounces of gold. For further information, see the Companys news release dated March 29, 2007 available on SEDAR. |

Ivanhoe Earn-in |
|
|
|
|
Under an Earn-In Agreement announced in October 2004, Ivanhoe has the right to earn an interest in approximately 40,000 hectares of Entrées 179,500 hectare Lookout Hill property. By the terms of the agreement, Ivanhoe must spend a minimum of $20,000,000 over 5 years in order to earn any interest in the mineral rights to the project property and may acquire up to a 70% interest in mineralization above a depth of 560 metres and an 80% interest in mineralization below a depth of 560 metres by spending $35,000,000 over 8 years. Thereafter, Entrée has the right to require Ivanhoe to fund its share of subsequent joint venture costs through to production by debt financing, to be recovered from production cash flow. To December 31, 2006 Ivanhoe has advised us that they have spent approximately $17 million on the project. |
|

Hugo North Extension |
|
|
|
|
On February 1, 2006, Entrée announced that an initial mineral resource estimate prepared by Ivanhoe under the supervision of AMEC Americas Limited (AMEC) had delineated an initial Inferred Resource for the Hugo North Extension on the Copper Flats area of Entrées Shivee Tolgoi license, in the South Gobi region of Mongolia. The resource estimate was the result of Ivanhoes aggressive work program that defined a 625 metre extension to the Hugo North Deposit on Entrées property and outlined some extremely rich copper-gold mineralization. |
|
|
|
|
|
This initial Copper Flats Inferred Resource was estimated to be 190 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.57% copper and 0.53 grams of gold per tonne (g/t) for a copper equivalent grade of 1.91%, at a 0.6% copper equivalent cut-off. At the 0.6% copper equivalent cut-off, the Inferred Resource is estimated to contain 6.6 billion pounds of copper and 3.2 million ounces of gold. |
|
|
|
|
|
In March 2007, the Company announced that an updated mineral resource estimate had been calculated, based on in-fill drilling conducted by Ivanhoe up to November 1, 2006. The updated mineral resource |

estimate was prepared by AMEC and the corresponding technical report was filed on April 3, 2007 on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). At a 0.6% copper equivalent cut-off, the Hugo North Extension is now estimated to contain an Indicated Resource of 117 million tonnes grading 1.80% copper and 0.61 g/t gold (a copper equivalent grade of 2.19%). This Indicated Resource is estimated to contain 4.6 billion pounds of copper and 2.3 million ounces of gold (Table 1). In addition the Hugo North Extension is estimated to contain an Inferred Resource of 95.5 million tonnes grading 1.15% copper and 0.31 g/t gold (a copper equivalent grade of 1.35%). The contained metal estimated within the Inferred Resource portion of the Hugo North Extension is 2.4 billion pounds of copper and 950,000 ounces of gold. See table below for details. For further information, see the Companys news release dated March 29, 2007 available on SEDAR. |
|
|
|
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Inferred and Indicated Resources. |
|
|
|
This section uses the term Inferred and Indicated Resources. We advise U.S investors that while these term are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Inferred and Indicated 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 the Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an Inferred and Indicated Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. |

Ivanhoe has the right to earn an 80% interest in mineral rights on the project area below a depth of 560 metres. Accordingly, Entrées 20% interest in the Indicated Resource using a 0.6% copper equivalent cutoff is estimated to be 23.4 million tonnes, containing approximately 930 million pounds of copper and approximately 640,000 ounces of gold. Entrées 20% interest in the Inferred Resource is estimated to be 19.1 million tonnes, containing approximately 484 million pounds of copper and approximately 190,000 ounces of gold. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. |

|
|
|
In 2006, Ivanhoe completed a program of condemnation drilling on the Entrée-Ivanhoe Lookout Hill Agreement Area in preparation for infrastructure construction associated with the development of Oyu Tolgoi. On October 25, 2006, we announced that a body of low-grade shallow copper and gold mineralization (Ulaan Khud) was intersected approximately 7 km north of the Hugo North Extension. The area between Ulaan Khud and the Hugo North Extension has received only limited drill testing and remains a viable exploration target. |
|
|
|
|
|
The potential southern extension to the Oyu Tolgoi deposits which lie within the Entrée-Ivanhoe Agreement Area is currently being drill tested by Ivanhoe. Widely-spaced diamond drilling is ongoing with three rigs at the Sparrow South target, a 3,000-metre-long IP anomaly approximately three kilometres southwest of the south-western end of South West Oyu. Results indicate similar stratigraphy and copper and gold mineralization distal to the South West Oyu deposits, but starting at greater depths and in a structurally complex environment. Drilling is continuing in search of higher grades and a better understanding of the complex geology. |
|
|
|
|
II) |
|
Lookout Hill |
|
|
|
|
Drilling in 2006 outlined a new area of molybdenum mineralization west of Oyu Tolgoi, in the West Grid area of Lookout Hill. Elevated molybdenum is associated with the Oyu Tolgoi mineralized system; however, this is the first time significant molybdenum values have been encountered in drilling on the portion of Lookout Hill that is outside the Agreement with Ivanhoe. The relationship between this new zone and the Oyu Tolgoi mineralized system is currently undefined. Establishing a better understanding of this new zone is one of Entrées primary initiatives during 2007. |
|
|
|
|
|
Entrée commenced the 2007 exploration season in May. To date the field crews have conducted 3,093 m of drilling on several targets including the Moly Zone, Ring Dyke and Zone III. Additionally, the grid-based ground geological, geochemical (3,468 samples) and geophysical coverage (17 x 18 km) has been greatly expanded. |
|
|
|
|
|
Four holes (EG-07-050 to 053) were drilled to an average depth of 170 metres in the Moly Zone. Hole EG-07-052 intersected 43 metres (from 59 m to 102 m) of 0.048% Mo. Including 29 m of 0.068% Mo. Hole EG-07-053 encountered 0.01% Mo over 10 m. The other hole did not encounter significant mineralized intervals. Exploration, including drilling, is on-going and is planned to continue through to the end of the fall season. |
|
|
|
|
III) |
|
Manlai |
|
|
|
|
Entrees Manlai property is located approximately 125 kilometres to the north of Lookout Hill and adjoins the east end of Ivanhoes Kharmagtai porphyry copper-gold project. |
|
|
|
|
|
At the Manlai Project in 2007, 1,960 m of diamond drilling has been completed in two holes on the East Target area. This target is centred on coincident magnetometer and induced polarization anomalies, and anomalous copper and molybdenum in soil geochemistry, with surface exposure of stockwork quartz veining containing chalcopyrite and bornite over an area of 500 x 150 m. Hole EGU07013B (968 m) contained variable quartz stockwork veining with minor visible copper and molybdenum sulphides over a length of 510 m. The best mineralized interval was 25 m at 0.13% Cu (683 to 708 m). No significant mineralization was intersected in the second hole (EGU07014). |
|
|
|
|
|
A decision on additional exploration will be made once all data has been received, compiled and reviewed. |

Sol Dos Prospect |
|
|
|
|
Entrée commenced exploration of the Sol Dos copper prospect in the fall of 2006. The property is located in the Safford area of south-east Arizona. A geophysical crew completed a 20 line km program consisting of deep probing IP and magnetic surveys. Entrée has an option to earn a 100% interest in Sol Dos, subject to a 2% NSR, half of which can be purchased by Entrée. |
|
|
|
|
|
Three diamond drill holes totaling 2,386 m have recently been completed on the Sol Dos copper porphyry target and assays have been received for the first two holes. These holes were drilled to explore untested portions of the Sol Dos copper porphyry system judged to have potential to host higher-grade copper mineralization. Drill hole locations were based on a geological analysis of existing drill data and the results of deep penetrating IP/resistivity and ground magnetic surveys conducted in late 2006. |
|
|
|
|
|
Drill hole EG-SD-07-001 was collared in the center of the Sol Dos system to test a zone of interpreted strong potassic alteration defined by the strongest ground magnetic response. This hole encountered long intervals of anomalous copper values (378 m averaging 0.06% Cu), with short intervals of higher grade material in highly altered breccia and monzonite porphyry cut by pyrite, pyrite-magnetite, and magnetite veins. Hole EG-SD-07-002 tested a strong IP target coincident with a magnetic low located on the northeast periphery of the porphyry system. No significant copper values were encountered. Hole EG-SD-07-003 was drilled to test the contact between the outer phyllic alteration assemblage and the central potassic zone of alteration on the southwest margin of the Sol porphyry system. Strong pyrite mineralization is present in silicified and brecciated siltstones and conglomerates that are cut by monzonite porphyry dykes. Assays are pending for EG-SD-07-003. |
|
|
|
|
|
The initial planned program is now complete. Additional exploration will be decided upon, after assays are received for the final hole and all data has been compiled and reviewed. |

Empirical Discovery Agreement |
|
|
|
|
In July 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Empirical Discovery LLC to explore for and develop porphyry copper targets in southeastern Arizona and adjoining southwestern New Mexico. The principals of Empirical have extensive experience in exploration for copper porphyries in the Americas, as well as access to proprietary geophysical interpretation techniques of particular application to large regional datasets. These techniques have been modeled using a number of known deposits, and the criteria developed will be used to identify buried targets from the regional database. Initial targeting is underway, and applications for eleven contiguous mineral exploration permits in southeastern Arizona totaling approximately 8.5 square miles (22 square kilometres) have recently been approved. |

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE |
|
|
|
|
|
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative expense before stock-based compensation was $778,034 compared to $652,074 in 2006 as set out above. The increase was primarily due to consulting fees, legal fees, and management fees in connection with corporate matters. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, general and administrative expense before stock-based compensation was $1,303,805 compared to $1,115,071 in 2006 as set out above. The increase was primarily due to consulting fees, legal fees, offset by a reduction in regulatory and transfer agent fees. |

E) |
INTEREST INCOME |
|
|
|
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, interest income was $138,175 compared to $153,510 in 2006. The Company earns income on its cash and cash equivalents. Although interest rates were higher in 2007 than in 2006, the decrease in interest income in 2007 compared with 2006 arises from the investment of lesser principal amounts. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, interest income was $277,857 compared to $345,229 in 2006. Although interest rates were higher in 2007 than in 2006, the decrease in interest income in 2007 compared with 2006 arises from the investment of lesser principal amounts. Cash balances were generated by private placements, warrants exercise and options exercise. |

F) |
OUTLOOK |
|
|
|
Results of the 2006 field season in Mongolia were encouraging, as announced in news releases from October 25, 2006 and January 10, 2007. Consequently, in May the Company has commenced its 2007 exploration programs at Lookout Hill and Manlai as announced in the April 10, 2007 news release. |
|
|
|
Pursuant to Mongolian Minerals Law, we have extended our licenses for a further two year term for final expiry in March and April 2010, unless previously converted to mining licenses. Mongolian exploration licenses are maintained in good standing by payment to the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia of set annual fees escalating from $0.05 to $1.50 per hectare over the course of the mineral tenure. The total estimated annual fees in order to maintain the licenses in good standing is approximately $280,000. |
|
|
|
The Company completed the first phase of drilling at Sol Dos in July 2007. Once results have been compiled and analyzed, a determination will be made on whether to continue with exploration of this property. |
|
|
|
The Company also completed drilling on the Manlai project in July 2007. A decision on additional exploration will be made once all data has been received, compiled and reviewed. |

LIQUIDITY |
|
|
|
To date the Company has not generated significant revenues from its operations and is considered to be in the exploration stage. Working capital on hand at June 30, 2007 was $31,475,320 and is more than sufficient to finance budgeted exploration, general and administrative expense, investor relations for 2007. The company has approximately $29,000,000 surplus funds available for acquisitions and/or operating requirements for 2008 and subsequent years. At present the Company is dependent on equity financing for additional funding if required. Should one of the Companys projects proceed to the mine development stage, it is expected that a combination of debt and equity financing would be available. |

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES |
|
|
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
|
|
|
The Company follows accounting guidelines in determining the value of stock option compensation, as disclosed in Note 5 to the Financial Statements. Unlike other numbers in the accounts, this is a calculated amount not based on historical cost, but on subjective assumptions introduced to an option pricing model, in particular: (1) an estimate for the average future hold period of issued stock options before exercise, expiry or cancellation and (2) future volatility of the Companys share price in the expected hold period (using historical volatility as a reference). Given that there is no market for the options and they are not transferable, the resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value the holder of the option could receive in an arms-length transaction. |

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
(In United States dollars unless stated otherwise)
|
|
|
The Companys accounting policy is to expense exploration costs on a project by project basis consistent with United States GAAP. The policy is consistent with that of the other exploration companies that have not established mineral reserves. When a mineral reserve has been objectively established further exploration costs would be deferred. Management is of the view that its current policy is appropriate for the Company. |
|
|
11. |
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
|
|
A detailed summary of all of the Companys significant accounting policies and the estimates derived therefrom is included in Note 2 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. |
|
|
12. |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS |
|
|
|
The Companys financial assets and liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, deposits and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, some of which are denominated in U.S. dollars and Mongolian Tugriks. These accounts are recorded at their fair market value. The Company is at risk to financial gain or loss as a result of foreign exchange movements against the Canadian dollar. The Company minimizes its foreign exchange risk by maintaining low account balances in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The Company does not currently have major commitments to acquire assets in foreign currencies; but historically it has incurred the majority of its exploration costs in foreign currencies. |
|
|
|
The Companys cash equivalent are redeemable after 30 days without penalty and are renewable bank instruments that provide a fixed rate of interest during the term usually one year. When a matured instrument is renewed, the new interest rate may be higher or lower than the current rate. The Company reviews its bank instruments on a monthly basis and renews if interest rates are higher than on the current instrument. |
|
|
13. |
OTHER MD&A REQUIREMENTS |
|
|
|
Forward-Looking Statements |
|
|
|
Except for historical information contained in this discussion and analysis, disclosure statements contained herein are forward-looking, as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on managements 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. |
|
|
|
Risk |
|
|
|
The Company is a mineral exploration and development company and is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are common to other companies in the same business; some of these risks have been discussed elsewhere in this report. The reader should also refer to the discussion of risks contained in the Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. |

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
(In United States dollars unless stated otherwise)
|
|
|
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically and legally feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will constitute a reserve (a reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit). |
|
|
|
The Company must comply with license and permitting requirements. Our exploration licenses, as extended, for all Mongolian properties expire in March or April 2010, unless converted before these dates to mining licenses. The total estimated annual fees in order to maintain the licenses in good standing is approximately $280,000. |
|
|
|
The Company must comply with environmental regulations that govern air and water quality and land disturbance and provide mine reclamation and closure costs. |
|
|
|
The Companys financial success is subject to, among other things, fluctuations in copper and gold prices which may affect current or future operating results and may affect the economic value of its mineral resources. The Companys ability to obtain financing to explore for mineral deposits and to complete the development of those properties it has classified as assets is not assured; nor is there assurance that the expenditure of funds will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit. 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 forward-looking statements. |
|
|
|
The Company has not completed a feasibility study on any of its deposits to determine if its hosts a mineral resource that can be economically developed and profitably mined. |
|
|
|
Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
|
|
|
Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the financial statements, including the maintenance of appropriate information systems, procedures and internal controls. Management is also responsible to ensure that information disclosed externally, including the financial statements and MD&A, is complete and reliable. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that they are operating effectively. |
|
|
|
It is important to recognize that the Company has limited administrative staffing. As a result, internal controls which rely on segregation of duties in many cases is not appropriate or possible. The Company relies heavily on senior management review and approval to ensure that the controls are effective as possible. |
|
|
|
Canadian Disclosure Standards in Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves |
|
|
|
The terms Mineral Reserve, Proven Mineral Reserve and Probable Mineral Reserve are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the CIM) CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as may be amended from time to time by the CIM. |
|
|
|
The definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Industry Guide 7. Under SEC Guide 7 standards, a |
16
ENTRÉE GOLD INC.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
(In United States dollars unless stated otherwise)
|
|
|
Final or Bankable feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three year history 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 normally are 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. |
|
|
|
Accordingly, information contained in this report and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits 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. |

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS |
|
|
|
Title to mineral property interests involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral property interests. The Company has investigated title to its mineral property interests and, to the best of its knowledge, title to the mineral property interests are in good standing. |
|
|
|
Each of our exploration licenses was granted by the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia for an initial term of three years, subject to a right to renew for two successive 2-year renewals. Two of the three licenses that comprise Lookout Hill were issued April 3, 2001 and were renewed for the second of their two year renewals in March, 2006. The third Lookout Hill license was issued March 30, 2001 and was renewed for the second of its two-year renewals in March, 2006. The Manlai license was issued March 9, 2001 and renewed for the second of its two-year renewals in March, 2006. |
|
|
|
Pursuant to Mongolian Minerals Law, we have extended our licenses for a further two year term for final expiry in March and April 2010, unless converted before these dates to mining licenses. Mongolian exploration licenses are maintained in good standing by payment to the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia of set annual fees escalating from $0.05 to $1.50 per hectare over the course of the mineral tenure. The total estimated annual fees in order to maintain the licenses in good standing is approximately $280,000. |
|
|
|
Under the terms of an option agreement completed in July, 2002, as amended, the Company acquired from Mongol Gazar Co., Ltd. (Mongol Gazar) a 100% interest in three mineral concessions (collectively, the Lookout Hill Property). As consideration, the Company paid $5,500,000 and issued 5,000,000 common shares at a value of $3,806,000. For the above purchase price, the Company also acquired a 100% interest in a fourth mineral concession (the Manlai Property) located in southern Mongolia. |
|
|
|
In June 2004 and as part of the Lookout Hill acquisition, the Company issued non-transferable warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company at a price of C$1.05 per share for two years to Mongol Gazar. The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $129,266. In addition, Mongol Gazar agreed to transfer to the Companys subsidiary, Entrée LLC, its 100% interest in an exploration licence located in Khanbogd, Omnogovi, Mongolia (the Khatsavch property). The warrants expired without exercise in April, 2006 (Note 6). The Khatsavch license was returned to the Mongolian government in October 2006. |

MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS (contd ) |
|
|
|
In October, 2004, the Company granted to Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (Ivanhoe) the right to earn, over an eight year period, a participating interest in a certain portion of its Lookout Hill Property (the Project Property). Under the agreement, Ivanhoe must spend a minimum of $3 million in order to earn surface rights in the Project Property and a minimum of $20 million in order to earn any mineral rights interest in the Project Property and may acquire up to an 80% interest in mineralization below a depth of 560 metres and a 70% interest in mineralization above a depth of 560 metres by spending $35 million. Thereafter, the Company has the right to require Ivanhoe to fund its share of subsequent project costs through to production, to be recovered from production cash flow. The agreement with Ivanhoe also provided for Ivanhoe to subscribe for 4,600,000 units of the Company at a price of C$1.00 per unit (completed in November 2004). |
|
|
|
In May 2006, the Company secured an option to acquire the Sol Dos copper prospect, located in the Safford district, of south-eastern Arizona. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may earn a 100% interest in the Sol Dos property by spending $4 million on exploration over four years and by making staged payments totalling $1 million cash and issuing 250,000 shares. The Companys interest would be subject to a 2% NSR royalty, one half of which it may purchase for $1 million cash and issuing 250,000 shares. |
