99.1  Press Release

GOLD RESERVE RECEIVES BRISAS QUARRY CONCESSION

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON November 30, 2005                    NR 05-12

Gold Reserve Inc. (TSX: GRZ - AMEX:GRZ) today announced that the
Government of Bolivar State, Venezuela, through its Mining
Institute (IAMIB), granted Compania Aurifera Brisas del Cuyuni,
C.A., operator of the Brisas Project and subsidiary of Gold
Reserve, a 400-hectare concession for the exploration and
exploitation of rock and aggregates to support the Brisas
gold/copper project.

The quarry site, located within the Brisas Project area in the Km
88 mining district, is planned to be used for the construction of
infrastructure for the Brisas Project which is anticipated to
utilize conventional open pit mining methods with the processing
of ore at full production of 70,000 tonnes per day, yielding an
average annual production of 486,000 ounces of gold and 63
million pounds of copper over an estimated mine life of
approximately 18 years.

Doug Belanger, President, stated, "We are pleased that IAMIB has
issued our quarry concession, an indication that we are making
progress in our efforts to obtain the required permit to start
construction on the Brisas Project."

Gold Reserve Inc. is a Canadian company which holds the rights to
the Brisas gold/copper project and the Choco 5 gold exploration
property in Bolivar State, Venezuela. The Brisas Project is
estimated to have 10.1 million ounces of gold and 1.29 billion
pounds of copper (proven and probable) in 446 million tonnes at a
grade of 0.70 grams per tonne gold and 0.13% copper. Construction
of the Brisas Project is expected to commence upon the issuance
of the construction permit by the Ministry of Environment and
Natural Resources and securing sufficient debt and equity
funding.

management's expectations or estimates of our future performance,
