ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - September 25, 2009) - Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ DGRI ]) today announced that it has begun the closing process to effectuate the merger with Aultra Gold, Inc.

Daniel Hollis, CEO of Dutch Gold Resources, stated, "We are pleased that Aultra Gold, Inc. has taken the first step to close the pending transaction with Dutch Gold. Yesterday Aultra filed a Form 14CPre with the Securities Exchange Commission, which was a prerequisite to the announced merger. This begins the process to finalize the transaction, allowing the combined company to move ahead with its state plan to increase shareholder value."

Added Mr. Hollis, "We expect to receive approval from the shareholders of both companies and both Boards of Directors in the next three weeks. Given the current increases in the price of gold, we believe that the timing of this transaction is optimal."

Gold prices continue to be strong, remaining at, or above $1,000/oz in recent weeks. The largest gold producer in the world recently bought in 2 million ounces of gold to close a hedge position and has announced that it would purchase another 3 million ounces in the near future. The weakening dollar and the decisions by Central Banks to begin accumulating gold, all contribute to the current pricing scenario.

"In the current economic environment, Dutch Gold believes that its strategy of acquiring potential high value resources such as those brought to us by the Aultra Gold transaction can help build the Company to scale, in politically stable areas, providing the opportunity for long term growth in shareholder value. We are pleased to have begun the closing process with Aultra Gold, Inc.," concluded Mr. Hollis.
