99.1 Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders and Information Circular
99.2 Form of Proxy

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 INC.

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(Containing information as of April 20, 2007)

MANAGEMENT SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Management Information and Proxy Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of GOLD RESERVE INC. (the “Company”) to be voted at the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) to be held on Thursday, the 7^th day of June, 2007 at 9:30 a.m. (Pacific daylight time), at the Spokane Club located at 1002 W. Riverside, Spokane, Washington and at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders. The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by employees of the Company. Employees will not receive any extra compensation for such activities. The Company may pay brokers, nominees or other persons holding shares of the Company in their name for others for their reasonable charges and expenses in forwarding proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of such shares, and obtaining their proxies. The Company may also retain independent proxy solicitation agents to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. The cost of all solicitations of proxies will be borne by the Company. Except where otherwise stated, the information contained herein is given as of the 20^th day of April, 2007.

Unless otherwise indicated, all currency amounts referred to herein are stated in U.S. dollars.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The individuals named in the enclosed form of proxy are Directors or Officers of the Company.

A Shareholder submitting a proxy has the right to appoint a person or company, who need not be a Shareholder, to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the form of proxy furnished by the Company. To exercise this right, the Shareholder may insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the proxy or may submit another appropriate form of proxy.

The completed proxy must be deposited at the office of Proxy Services, C/O Computershare Investor Services, P.O. Box 43102, Providence, RI 02940-5068, not later than the close of business on the business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or with the Chairman of the Meeting immediately prior to the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, otherwise the instrument of proxy will be invalid.

You may revoke or change your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Meeting. In the case of Shareholders appearing on the registered shareholder records of the Company, a proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by sending or depositing a written notice of revocation or another signed proxy bearing a later date to the Secretary of the Company at its

principal executive office located at 926 W. Sprague Avenue, Suite 200, Spokane, Washington 99201. You may also revoke your proxy by giving notice or by voting in person at the Meeting.

Shareholders appearing in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee should follow the instructions provided by their bank, broker or nominee in revoking their previously voted shares.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

The shares represented by the proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such choice being specified, such shares will be voted “for” the matters specifically identified in the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders accompanying this Information Circular.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders and with respect to other matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Information Circular, the management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders.

In February 1999, the Gold Reserve Corporation became a subsidiary of the Company, the successor issuer. For the purposes of disclosure in this Information Circular, references to the Company prior to February 4, 1999 are references to Gold Reserve Corporation.

VOTING RIGHTS AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

The Company’s issued and outstanding shares consist of Class A common shares (each, a “Class A Share”) and Class B common shares (each, a “Class B Share”). Unless otherwise noted, references to Common Shares in this Information Circular include both Class A Shares and Class B Shares. Holders of Class A Shares and holders of Class B Shares (collectively, the “Shareholders”) are entitled to one vote per share and will vote as a single class on all matters to be considered and voted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. As of April 20, 2007, there were 40,720,019 issued and outstanding Class A Shares and 1,085,099 issued and outstanding Class B Shares for a total of 41,805,118 Common Shares eligible to vote.

The Company has set the close of business on April 30, 2007 as the record date for the Meeting. The Company will prepare a list of Shareholders of record at such time. Shareholders will be entitled to vote the shares then registered in their name at the Meeting except to the extent that (a) the holder has transferred the ownership of any of his shares after that date, and (b) the transferee of those shares produces properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establishes that he owns the shares, and demands, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list of persons entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case the transferee will be entitled to vote his shares at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

To the knowledge of the Directors and senior officers of the Company, as of April 20, 2007 no person, firm or corporation beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the Common Shares.

A quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Shareholders shall be holders of at least one-third (1/3) of the outstanding Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy. Except as otherwise stated in this Information Circular, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Shares present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, is required to approve all items presented in this Information Circular.

VOTING BY NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or the persons they designate as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. In many cases, however, the Common Shares owned by a person (a “non-registered holder”) are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the non-registered holder deals with in respect of the Common Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of this management information circular and the accompanying notice of meeting and form of proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to non-registered holders of Common Shares.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to non-registered holders unless a non-registered holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to non-registered holders. Generally, non-registered holders who have not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will either:

(a)	be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number and class of securities beneficially owned by the non-registered holder but which is not otherwise completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the non- registered holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the non-registered holder who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it as specified above under the heading “Appointment and Revocation of Proxies”; or

(b)	be given a form of proxy which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the non-registered holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “Voting Instruction Form”) which the Intermediary must follow.

	Typically, the non-registered holder will also be given a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a Voting Instruction Form, the non-registered holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the Voting Instruction Form, properly complete and sign the Voting Instruction Form and submit it to the Intermediary or its services company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Should a non-registered holder who receives either form of proxy wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the non-registered holder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the non-registered holder’s name in the blank space provided. Non-registered holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the form of proxy or Voting Instruction Form is to be delivered.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

Item 1 – Election of Directors

The articles of the Company provide that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall consist of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 15 Directors, with the actual number of Directors to be determined from time to time by the Board. The Company’s Board presently consists of seven members.

The Board held 3 meetings during 2006 at which attendance, in person or by phone, averaged 90%. Various matters were considered and approved by written resolution during the year. The Board also held several informal meetings throughout the year.

The by-laws of the Company provide that each Director shall be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of the Company’s Shareholders or until their qualified successors are elected. All of the current Directors’ terms expire the date of the Meeting and it is proposed by management that each of them be re-elected to serve another term.

The following table and notes thereto states the names of each person proposed to be nominated by management for election as a Director, the province or state and country in which he is ordinarily resident, his age, all offices of the Company now held by him, his principal occupation, the period of time for which he has been a Director of the Company and the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by him, directly or indirectly, or over which he exercises control or direction, as at the date hereof.

Item 2 – Appointment of Auditors

It is proposed that the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP be appointed by the Shareholders as independent certified public accountants to audit the financial statements of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2007.

Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors of the Company until the next annual meeting of the Company’s Shareholders, or until their successors are duly appointed, at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were first appointed auditors of the Company in 1992.

Item 3 – Approval of Amendment to Extend Warrants Originally Set to Expire Nov. 6, 2006

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve a resolution to amend the expiration date of 2,680,500 Common Share Purchase Warrants to purchase an equal number of Class A common shares (the “Warrants”), originally expiring on November 6, 2006, to July 31, 2007 and amend the exercise price of the Warrants from Cdn. $6.50 to Cdn. $6.55 to extend the possibility of the Company raising an additional Cdn. $17,557,275 in connection with the exercise of the Warrants without incurring any underwriting or agency fees or commissions..

The Warrants subject to this amendment were originally issued in November 2004 to a syndicate of underwriters who purchased Units, comprised of one Class A common share and one-half of a Warrant of the Company, on a bought deal basis for sale to non-US investors at a price of Cdn. $5.60 per Unit. Each whole Warrant entitled the holder thereof to acquire one Class A common share at a price of Cdn. $6.50 per share for a period of 24 months or until November 6, 2006. None of the original Warrants were exercised during their original term.

On October 24, 2006, the Board approved the delisting of the Warrants from The Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and, subject to Shareholder approval, the amendment of the exercise price from Cdn. $6.50 to Cdn. $6.55 and the expiration date from November 6, 2006 to July 31, 2007.

If the resolution is approved, the Warrants will be exercisable from June 7, 2007 until July 31, 2007 and if the Warrants are exercised, the newly issued shares will represent 6% of the total outstanding shares.

The following resolution in respect of the extension will be proposed at the Meeting:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.	The expiration date of the Warrants, originally set to expire on November 6, 2006, be amended to July 31, 2007;

2.	The exercise price of the Warrants, originally set at Cdn. $6.50, be amended to Cdn. $6.55;

3.	Any officer or director of the Company, on behalf of the Company, is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any documents, instruments or other writings and to do all other acts as may be deemed necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing resolution.”

Approval of this item requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Common Shares of the Company represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy.

Should the approval of the Shareholders not be obtained, the proposed amendments to the Warrants will not be effective.

Item 4 – Approval of the Purchase of Class A Shares by the KSOP Plan

The Company’s subsidiary, Gold Reserve Corporation, maintains a retirement plan, the KSOP Plan, for eligible employees. The annual contribution to the KSOP Plan participants is formula-driven based on a percentage of compensation and is used to allocate Class A Shares purchased by the KSOP Plan. For a more detailed description of the KSOP Plan, see “Executive Compensation – KSOP Plan”.

As of December 31, 2006, 10 Class A Shares remained in the KSOP Plan to be allocated to KSOP Plan participants, representing less than 0.01% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at that time.

On February 22, 2007, the Board approved, subject to Shareholder approval, the issuance of 50,000 Class A Shares for purchase by the KSOP Plan at a price of US $4.976 (Cdn. $5.78) per Class A Share, which represented the closing market price on the TSX (converted to US $) on February 22, 2007 of the Class A Shares. On April 4, 2007, the Board determined that 50,000 Class A Shares may not be sufficient to fund the KSOP Plan for the year ending December 31, 2007, due to the increase in the number of employees eligible to participate in the KSOP Plan, and approved an amendment to increase the number to 100,000 Class A Shares.

Assuming the resolution approving the purchase of Class A Shares by the KSOP Plan is approved, 100,010 Class A Shares, representing approximately 0.24% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, would be available for allocation to KSOP Plan participants.

In order for the acquisition of Class A Shares by the KSOP Plan to comply with certain requirements of the TSX, this resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast on such resolution.

Approval of this resolution in compliance with the rules of the TSX will enable the allocation of Class A Shares pursuant to the employee stock ownership component of the KSOP Plan to eligible participants in compliance with the TSX’s limitations on awards to such persons pursuant to share compensation arrangements.

The persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the approval of the authorization to issue 100,000 Class A Shares to the KSOP Plan unless otherwise directed.

The following resolution in respect of the issuance of Class A Shares for the KSOP Plan will be proposed at the Meeting:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.	The issuance of 100,000 Class A Shares for purchase by the KSOP Plan at a price of US $4.976 (Cdn. $5.78) be and is hereby approved, and

2.	Any officer or director of the Company be and is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents and to perform and do all such other acts and things as may be deemed advisable in such individual’s discretion for the purpose of giving effect to this resolution.”

The Board has determined that the issuance to the KSOP Plan of 100,000 Class A Shares is in the best interests of the Company and recommends that the Shareholders vote in favor of the resolution authorizing such issuance.

(1)	The “Aggregate Value Realized”, if applicable, was calculated by determining the difference between the market value of the securities acquired on the date of exercise (based on the closing price on the American Stock Exchange on the date of exercise, which approximates the closing price on the TSX also on the date of exercise) less the exercise price of the options exercised.

(2)	The “Value of Unexercised in-the-Money Options at FY-End” was calculated by determining the difference between the market value of the securities underlying the option at the end of the financial year and the exercise price of such options. At December 31, 2006, the closing price of the Class A Shares on the American Stock Exchange was $4.72.

Equity Incentive Plan

Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive grants under the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended in 2006. The Board or a committee of the Board is responsible for the administration of the Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to a rolling 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company, through the grant of “incentive stock options” and “non–statutory options” to purchase Class A Shares, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock.

As of April 20, 2007, options for the purchase of 2,578,639 Class A Shares remained outstanding and 776,793 Class A Shares remained available for grant under the Plan. Since inception, 843,975 shares of restricted stock have been granted from the Plan and no SARs have been granted. Options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock granted under the Plan are generally granted at the Fair Market Value of the Class A Shares defined as follows:

“subject to any applicable Exchange rules, the volume weighted average trading price or the United States Dollar equivalent of the Stock calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of Stock on the Exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the Stock occurs, for the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant date;...”

A SAR entitles the holder of the related option, upon exercise of the SAR, to surrender such option or any portion thereof to the extent unexercised, and to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Class A Shares immediately preceding the date of exercise of such SAR over the option price under the related option, by (ii) the number of shares as to which such SAR has been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement evidencing the SAR may limit in any manner the amount payable with respect to any SAR.

The maximum number of shares of Class A Shares issuable to insiders:

a) at any time, under all security based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company on the date of grant; and

b) within any one year period, under all security based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares on the date of grant.

Each option grant is limited to a maximum duration of 10 years from the time it is granted, except that an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent shareholder shall have a maximum duration of five years from the time it is granted and the vesting period is discretionary.

All Options shall be exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of the Optionee or its alternative payee pursuant to such qualified domestic relations order, it being understood that the terms “holder” and “optionee” include the guardian and legal representative of the Optionee named in the Option Agreement and any person to whom an Option is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or a gift permitted by the Plan. Notwithstanding the above, incentive stock options shall only be transferable by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

The Plan provides the following for termination of employment with regard to the options outstanding at the date of termination:

Retirement. Any then outstanding options under the Plan may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date of the outstanding options or 12 months after the date of retirement.

For Cause. Any then outstanding options become null and void.

Involuntary Termination of Employment. Any then outstanding options that are vested at the time of termination may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date of the vested outstanding options or 30 days after the date of termination.

Voluntary Termination of Employment. Any then outstanding options that are vested at the time of termination may be exercised at any time prior to the earlier of the expiration date of the vested outstanding options or 90 days after the date of termination.

The Board may, at any time and from time to time, modify, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in any respect. Amendments to the Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval to the extent required to comply with any exemption to the short swing-profit provisions of Section 16 (b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, with the exclusion for performance-based compensation under Code Section 162 (m), or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed.

KSOP Plan

The Company’s subsidiary, Gold Reserve Corporation, maintains a retirement plan, the KSOP Plan for the benefit of eligible employees. The KSOP Plan consists of two components– a salary reduction component (401(k)) and stock ownership component (ESOP). Eligible employees are those who have been employed for a period in excess of one year and who have worked at least 1,000 hours during the year in which any allocation is to be made.

Employee contributions to the 401(k) component of the KSOP Plan are limited in each year to the total amount of salary reduction the employee elects to defer during the year, which is limited in 2007 to $15,500 ($20,500 limit for participants who are 50 or more years of age, or who turn 50 during 2007).

Employer contributions, stated as a percentage of eligible compensation, are determined each year by the Board of Directors and allocations are made in the form of Class A Shares or by cash. The number of Class A Shares released for allocation is determined by multiplying the total eligible compensation by the contribution percentage approved by the Board of Directors and dividing that number by the average price of the Class A Shares remaining in the KSOP Plan for distribution. For KSOP Plan year 2007 the Company has adopted a “Safe Harbor” contribution of 3% of eligible compensation. As of December 31, 2006, 10 Class A Shares remained in the KSOP Plan to be allocated to KSOP Plan participants, representing less than 0.01% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at that time.

Total employer and employee annual contributions to an employee participating in both the 401(k) and ESOP components of the KSOP Plan are limited (in 2007) to a maximum of $45,000 ($50,000 limit for participants who are 50 or more years of age or who turn 50 during 2007). The annual dollar limit is an aggregate limit which applies to all contributions made under this plan or any other cash or deferral arrangements.

Distributions from the KSOP Plan are not permitted before the participating employee reaches the age of 59, except in the case of death, disability, termination of employment by the Company or financial hardship. The employee stock ownership component of the KSOP Plan is qualified under Sections 421 and 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Allocated contributions to eligible KSOP Plan participants for plan years 2006, 2005, and 2004 were $272,412 (128,731 Class A Shares), $280,074 (96,578 Class A Shares), and $254,779 (122,722 Class A Shares), respectively. The aggregate number of Class A Shares for the three-year period is 348,031, which represents 0.8% of the current issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Retention Units

On October 19, 2006 the Board authorized the Director and Employee Retention Plan (the “Retention Plan”). Under the Retention Plan, the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board may grant Retention Units (the “Units”) to Directors and certain key employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Under this arrangement, a participant would (subject to vesting requirements, the occurrence of certain major corporate milestones, including successfully financing the Brisas Project and placing the Project into production, or a change of control) receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one Class A Common Share per Unit. Any Units unvested at the time of termination of employment or service with the Company or its subsidiaries shall be forfeited and no payment will be made with respect to such Units. An

aggregate of 1,000,000 Units were granted in 2006 to Named Executive Officers and Directors as follows: Rockne J. Timm 250,000, A. Douglas Belanger 250,000, James P. Geyer 150,000, Robert A. McGuinness 100,000 and Douglas E. Stewart 50,000. Messrs. Coleman, Potvin, and Mikkelsen were each granted 50,000 Units.

Report on Re-pricing of Options in Last Ten Completed Fiscal Years

During the last ten years the Shareholders approved two re-pricings of certain options held by the Named Executive Officers. The first re-pricing, dated April 3, 2000 and approved on June 2, 2000, was re-priced at a 25% premium to the market price of the Company’s shares. The second re-pricing, dated December 20, 2000 and approved June 8, 2001, was re-priced at a 50% premium to the market price of the Company’s shares and fifty-percent of all vested options, or immediately exercisable options, were unvested for the following twelve-month period. All repriced options have five-year lives from the date of approval by Shareholders. The following table details the re-pricing information for options held by Named Executive Officers for the last ten years:

Termination of Employment, Change in Responsibilities and Employment Contracts

At this time, there are no written contracts of employment between the Company and the Named Executive Officers.

The Company does maintain Change of Control Agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers, which were implemented by the Board to induce the Named Executive Officers to remain with the Company in the event of a change of control. The Board believes these individuals’ familiarity and long-standing involvement with the Brisas project are important assets to the Company and, as such, their continued involvement in the on-going development of the Brisas project is important. The loss of their continued services could have a detrimental impact on future operations of the Company.

In the event of a change in control of the Company, each Named Executive Officer is entitled to, among other things, continue employment with the Company and, if his employment is terminated within twelve months following such change in control (other than for cause, disability, retirement or death) or if the Named Executive Officer terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the agreements) at any time within twelve months following the change of control, such individual will be entitled to receive, among other things, two or three times his annual salary and KSOP contributions, an amount equal to any bonuses received during the twelve months prior to the change of control, maintenance of health and insurance benefits for a period of 36 months and on the election of the Named executive Officer, the buy-out of the cash value of any unexercised stock options.

Composition of the Compensation Committee

The Company’s compensation program was administered during 2006 by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), composed of Mr. Mikkelsen and Mr. Potvin. The function of the Compensation Committee was to evaluate the Company’s performance and the performance of its executive officers, approve the cash and equity-based compensation of such executive officers and submit such approvals to the full Board for ratification. Compensation matters relating to the directors were administered by the full Board of Directors.

Report on Executive Compensation

The goal of the compensation program is to attract, retain and reward employees and other individuals who contribute to both the immediate and the long-term success of the Company. Contributions are largely measured subjectively, and are rewarded through cash and equity-based compensation vehicles.

The Company evaluates the extent to which strategic and business goals are met and measures individual performance, albeit subjectively, against development objectives and the degree to which teamwork and Company objectives are promoted. The Company strives to achieve a balance between the compensation paid to a particular individual and the compensation paid to other employees and executives having similar responsibilities within the Company. The Company also strives to ensure that each employee understands the components of his or her salary, and the basis upon which it is determined and adjusted.

The components of executive compensation are as follows:

Base Salary. The administration of the program requires the Compensation Committee to review annually the base salary of each executive officer of the Company and to consider various factors, including individual performance, experience, time in position, future potential, responsibility, and the executive’s current salary in relation to the executive salary range at other mining companies. These factors are considered subjectively and none are accorded a specific weight.

Bonuses. In addition to base salary, the Compensation Committee from time-to-time recommends to the Board payments of discretionary bonuses to executives and selected employees. Such bonuses are based on the same criteria and determined in a similar fashion as described above.

Equity. The Compensation Committee from time-to-time recommends to the Board grants of options and/or restricted stock awards to executives and selected employees. In addition, the Compensation Committee annually determines the contribution to the KSOP Plan for allocation to individual participants. Participation in the KSOP Plan by individual employees, including officers, is governed by the terms of the KSOP Plan.

Chief Executive Officer’s Compensation

It is the responsibility of the Compensation Committee to review and recommend the compensation package for the Chief Executive Officer based on the same factors as those used in determining the base salaries for the other Named Executive Officers listed above.

The Compensation Committee has not developed specific quantitative or qualitative performance measures or other specific criteria for determining the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, primarily because the Company does not yet have a producing mine or other operations from which such quantitative data can be derived. As a consequence, the determination of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation in 2006 was largely subjective, and was based on the Company’s progress in addressing its more immediate concerns, continued exploration, and identifying and analyzing new corporate opportunities.

APPENDIX A

CHARTER OF THE
AUDIT COMMITTEE OF
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Purpose

The primary purposes of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) are to oversee on behalf of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Gold Reserve Inc. (the “Company”):

the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the integrity of its financial statements;
the audits of the Company’s financial statements and the appointment, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors; and
the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

The Committee also has the purpose of preparing the financial report that rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) require the Company to include in its annual proxy or information statement and Form 20-F filed with the SEC and/or its equivalent filed with the OSC.

The Committee’s function is one of oversight only and does not relieve management of its responsibilities for preparing financial statements that accurately and fairly present the Company’s financial results and condition, nor the independent auditors of their responsibilities relating to the audit or review of financial statements.

Organization

The Committee shall consist of at least three directors. The Board shall designate a Committee member as the chairperson of the Committee, or if the Board does not do so, the Committee members shall appoint a Committee member as chairperson by a majority vote of the authorized number of Committee members.

All Committee members shall be “independent,” as defined and to the extent required in the applicable SEC and OSC rules and American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) listing standards and applicable laws and regulations, as they may be amended from time to time (collectively, such SEC and exchange requirements are referred to as the “listing standards”), for purposes of audit committee membership.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, one director who is not independent as defined by the AMEX listing standards, but who satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is not a current officer or employee or an immediate family member of such officer or employee, may be appointed to the Committee if the Board, under exceptional and limited circumstances, determines that membership on the Committee by the individual is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders, and the Board discloses, in the next periodic filing made with the SEC subsequent to such determination, the nature of the relationship and the reasons for that determination; provided, however, that any such non-independent Committee member may only serve on the Committee for two (2) years and may not serve as the chairperson of the Committee.

Each Committee member shall be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cashflow statement upon appointment to the Committee. At all times there shall be at least one member of the Committee who, in the Board’s business judgment, is an audit committee “financial expert” as defined in the SEC rules and is “financially sophisticated” as defined in the AMEX listing standards.

Subject to the requirements of the listing standards, the Board may appoint and remove Committee members in accordance with the Company’s by-laws. Committee members shall serve for such terms as may be fixed by the Board, and in any case at the will of the Board whether or not a specific term is fixed.

Independent Auditors and Their Services

The Committee shall have the sole authority and direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention, termination, evaluation and oversight of the work of the independent auditors engaged by the Company for purposes of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company. The independent auditors shall report directly to the Committee. The Committee’s authority includes the resolution of disagreements between management and the auditors regarding financial reporting.

The Committee shall pre-approve all audit, review, attest and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Company or its subsidiaries by the independent auditors. The Committee may establish pre-approval policies and procedures in compliance with applicable listing standards. The Committee shall obtain and review, at least annually, a report by the independent auditors describing:

the firm’s internal quality-control procedures; and
any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the auditing firm or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues.

In addition, the Committee’s annual review of the independent auditors’ qualifications shall also include the review and evaluation of the lead partner of the independent auditors for the Company’s account, and evaluation of such other matters as the Committee may consider relevant to the engagement of the auditors, including views of company management and internal finance employees, and whether the lead partner or auditing firm itself should be rotated.

Annual Financial Reporting

As often and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or appropriate, but at least annually in connection with the audit of each fiscal year’s financial statements, the Committee shall:

1.	Review and discuss with appropriate members of management the annual audited financial statements, related accounting and auditing principles and practices, and (when required of management under the applicable listing standards) management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

2.	Timely request and receive from the independent auditors the report required (along with any required update thereto) pursuant to applicable listing standards prior to the filing of an audit report, concerning:

		all critical accounting policies and practices to be used;

		all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles for policies and practices relating to material items that have been discussed with company management, including ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments and the treatment preferred by the independent auditors; and

		other material written communications between the independent auditors and company management, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences.

3.	Discuss with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by AICPA Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, including such matters as:

		the quality and acceptability of the accounting principles applied in the financial statements;

		new or changed accounting policies, and significant estimates, judgments, uncertainties or unusual transactions;

		the selection, application and effects of critical accounting policies and estimates applied by the Company;

		issues raised by any “management” or “internal control” letter from the auditors, problems or difficulties encountered in the audit (including any restrictions on the scope of the work or on access to requested information) and management’s response to such problems or difficulties, significant disagreements with management, or other significant aspects of the audit; and

		any off-balance sheet transactions, and relationships with any unconsolidated entities or any other persons, which may have a material current or future effect on the financial condition or results of the Company and are required to be reported under SEC rules.

4.	Review and discuss with appropriate members of management the Company’s intended disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (or equivalent disclosures) to be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and its equivalent filed with the OSC.

5.	Receive from the independent auditors a formal written statement of all relationships between the auditors and the Company consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.

6.	Actively discuss with the independent auditors any disclosed relationships or services that may impact their objectivity and independence, and take any other appropriate action to oversee their independence.

Quarterly Financial Reporting

The Committee’s quarterly review shall normally include:

1.	Review and discuss the quarterly financial statements of the Company and the results of the independent auditors’ review of these financial statements with appropriate members of management.

2.	Review and discuss with Company management and, if appropriate, the independent auditors, significant matters relating to:

		the quality and acceptability of the accounting principles applied in the financial statements;

		new or changed accounting policies, and significant estimates, judgments, uncertainties or unusual transactions;

		the selection, application and effects of critical accounting policies and estimates applied by the Company; and

		any off-balance sheet transactions and relationships with any unconsolidated entities or any other persons which may have a material current or future effect on the financial condition or results of the Company and are required to be reported under SEC rules.

3.	Review and discuss with appropriate members of management the Company’s intended disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (or equivalent disclosures) to be included in the Company’s quarterly reports prepared in accordance with Canadian requirements and filed on Form 6-K with the SEC and its equivalent filed with the OSC.

Other Functions

The Committee shall review and assess the adequacy of this charter annually, recommend any proposed changes to the full Board and, to the extent required by the listing standards, certify annually to any AMEX, TSX or other listing market that the Committee reviewed and assessed the adequacy of the charter.

The Committee shall discuss with management earnings press releases (including the type and presentation of information to be included, paying particular attention to any use of “pro forma” or “adjusted” non-GAAP information), and financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies. This may be conducted generally as to types of information and presentations, and need not include advance review of each release or other information or guidance.

The Committee, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, shall periodically review with management the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and systems and procedures to promote compliance with applicable laws.

The Committee shall periodically:

inquire of management and the independent auditors about the Company’s major financial risks or exposures;
discuss the risks and exposures and assess the steps management has taken to monitor and control the

risks and exposures; and

discuss guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management.

The Committee shall conduct any activities relating to the Company’s code(s) of conduct and ethics as may be delegated, from time to time, to the Committee by the Board.

The Committee shall establish and maintain procedures for:

the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters; and
the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

If the Committee so determines, the confidential, anonymous submission procedures may also include a method for interested parties to communicate directly with non-management directors.

It is the Company’s policy that the Company shall not enter into transactions required to be disclosed under item 404 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K or other applicable Canadian requirements unless the Committee first reviews and approves such transactions.

The Committee shall review and take appropriate action with respect to any reports to the Committee from internal or external legal counsel engaged by the Company concerning any material violation of securities law or breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company, its subsidiaries or any person acting on their behalf.

The Committee shall, from time to time as necessary, review the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives on the financial statements of the Company. In addition, the Committee, as it considers appropriate, may consider and review with the full Board, company management, internal or external legal counsel, the independent auditors or any other appropriate person any other topics relating to the purposes of the Committee which may come to the Committee’s attention.

The Committee may perform any other activities consistent with this charter, the Company’s corporate governance documents and applicable listing standards, laws and regulations as the Committee or the Board considers appropriate.

Meetings, Reports and Resources

The Committee shall meet as often as it determines is necessary, but not less than quarterly. The Committee shall meet separately with management and independent auditors. In addition, the Committee may meet with any other persons, as it deems necessary.

A majority of the authorized number of Committee members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of Committee business, and the vote of a majority of the Committee members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Committee, unless in either case a greater number is required by this charter, the by-laws or the listing standards. The Committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings and deliver copies of the minutes to the corporate secretary for inclusion in the Company’s corporate records.

The Committee shall prepare any audit committee report required to be included in the Company’s annual meeting proxy or information statement, and report to the Board on the other matters relating to the Committee or its purposes, as required by the listing standards. The Committee shall also report to the Board annually the overall results of its annual review of the independent auditors’ qualifications, performance and independence. The Committee shall also report to the Board on the major items covered by the Committee at each Committee meeting, and provide additional reports to the Board as the Committee may determine to be appropriate, including review with the full Board of any issues that arise from time to time with respect to the quality or integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the independen t auditors.

The Committee is at all times authorized to have direct, independent and confidential access to the independent

auditors and to the Company’s other directors, management and personnel to carry out the Committee’s purposes. The Committee is authorized to conduct or authorize investigations into any matters relating to the purposes, duties or responsibilities of the Committee.

As the Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties, it is authorized to select, engage (including approval of the fees and terms of engagement), oversee, terminate, and obtain advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting, or other advisers or consultants. The company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of:

compensation to the independent auditors for their audit and audit-related, review and attest services;
compensation to any advisers engaged by the Committee; and
