GOLD RESERVE ADDS SENIOR TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS FOR ENGINEERING, DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION

Certain statements included herein, including those that express management's expectations or estimates of
our future performance or concerning the Brisas Project, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by
management at this time, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies. We caution that such forward-looking statements involve known and


unknown risks, uncertainties and other risks that may cause the actual financial results, performance, or
achievements of Gold Reserve Inc. to be materially different from our estimated future results,
performance, or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Numerous factors
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including
without limitation, concentration of operations and assets in Venezuela; corruption and uncertain legal
enforcement; requests for improper payments; regulatory, political and economic risks associated with
Venezuelan operations (including changes in previously established legal regimes, rules or processes); the
ability to obtain or maintain the necessary permits or additional funding for the development of the Brisas
Project; in the event any key findings or assumptions previously determined by us or our experts in
conjunction with our 2005 bankable feasibility study (as updated or modified from time to time)
significantly differ or change as a result of actual results in our expected construction and production at the
Brisas Project (including capital and operating cost estimates); risk that actual mineral reserves may vary
considerably from estimates presently made; impact of currency, metal prices and metal production
volatility; fluctuations in energy prices; changes in proposed development plans (including technology
used); our dependence upon the abilities and continued participation of certain key employees; and risks
normally incident to the operation and development of mining properties. This list is not exhaustive of the
factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to
put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking
statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their
entirety by this notice. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Gold Reserve president Doug Belanger said, “I am excited about the depth of experience
Len and Richard bring to Gold Reserve as we move into a new era with the development
and construction of the Brisas Project.”

Gold Reserve Inc. is a Canadian company developing the Brisas gold copper project in
Southeastern Venezuela. Brisas has NI-43-101 reserves of 485 million tonnes of ore
grading 0.67 grams per tonne gold and 0.13% copper containing 10.4 million ounces of
gold and 1.3 billion pounds of copper (using a revenue cutoff grade of US $3.04 per
tonne and a gold price of US $400 and a copper price of US $1.15 per pound). The
Company expects to finance the construction of Brisas with a combination of debt and
equity. The mine plan anticipates using conventional truck and shovel mining methods
with the processing of ore at full production of 70,000 tonnes per day, yielding an
average annual production of 456,000 ounces of gold and 60 million pounds of copper
for a mine life of 18.5 years. Using copper as a byproduct, operating costs are expected to
be US $126 per ounce (using US $470 per ounce of gold and US $1.80 per pound of
copper). The Qualified Personnel for the NI 43-101 Report are Susan Poos of Marston,
Richard Addison of Pincock, Allen and Holt (PAH), and Richard Lambert of PAH, all
registered professional engineers.

With only 42.6 million shares outstanding Gold Reserve has one of the highest
leverages to gold in the mining industry. The Company currently has US $22 million in
cash and investments and no debt. For more detailed information please see the news
release from November 13, 2006 representing an update to the Company's NI-43-101
report. This can be obtained at our website at www.goldreserveinc.com or
