Market Wire, April, 2006

Tonogold Resources, Inc. (OTC: TNGL) has
retained the services of Peter Dilles Consulting Services Inc. to direct
exploration of the Tonopah Divide gold-silver property in Esmeralda County,
Nevada.

Mr. Dilles is a well-regarded economic geologist with wide experience
developing precious metal deposits, having been involved with numerous
Carlin-type and volcanic-associated gold properties in Nevada and Peru.
Mr. Dilles’ primary client since 2001, Placer Dome Exploration, has
benefited from his recommendations and management of four successful gold
exploration projects along the Cortez-Eureka trend south of Cortez Hills.

Mr. Dilles was previously Exploration Manager for Pacific Rim Mining
Corporation from 1998 through 2000 in Peru, directing logistical aspects of
the Luicho gold exploration project and drill exploration of the Cofradia
gold-silver project. Mr. Dilles was also Senior Geologist for Bema Gold on
the 20 million oz. gold — 2 billion lb. copper Cerro Casale porphyry in
Chile. Prior to his work in Peru and Chile, Mr. Dilles was responsible for
expanding the 1992 West Archimedes gold discovery at Eureka, Nevada, to
750,000 oz. and overseeing discovery and early expansion of the East
Archimedes deposit, now at 1,000,000 oz.

Donald Strachan, Tonogold’s Vice President of Exploration, commented: “Our
Divide project, a large volcanic-related gold-silver system, has always
intrigued Pete Dilles. Tonogold has a consolidated ownership position at
Divide via a mining lease with the Tonopah Divide Mining Company, and Pete
can now assess its economic potential.”
