CORPORATE UPDATE

Vancouver, B.C. -- Desert Gold Ventures Inc. ("Desert Gold" or the "Company") wishes to announce that it will hold an Extraordinary Meeting, at a date to be determined, at which shareholders will be asked to approve a special resolution to consolidate all of the issued common shares of Desert Gold (of which 20,492,082 are currently outstanding) on the basis of 4 pre-consolidated common shares to 1 post-consolidated common share, or such lesser number as may be determined by Desert Gold’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes that Desert Gold’s ability to conduct the equity financing required for its operations is contingent upon, among other things, a consolidation of its outstanding common shares.

The Company also wishes to announce that in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) it has received both disinterested shareholder approval and Exchange approval to adopt the Company’s 2009 Stock Option Plan which increases the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder from 2,662,383 common shares to 4,075,348 common shares.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

"Ayub Khan"

Ayub Khan, Chairman
