News Release 06-11

Endurance Gold Corporation (EDG - TSX.V) is pleased to announce a proposed non-brokered private placement of 1,000,000 units, at a price of $0.30 per unit. Each unit (a "Unit") is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant will be exercisable for a one year period at $0.40 into one common share. Net proceeds to the Company will be $300,000. The Units will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the closing date. The placement is expected to close by mid-May, subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Endurance also announces that it has granted 75,000 stock options to John J. Watkins, a consultant to the Company, exercisable at $0.26 per share for a period of three years. The Options are subject to a four month hold period from April 26, 2006, and are also subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. Mr. Watkins, a well respected Senior Geologist of over 30 years, has been consulting for Endurance on the BQ Property since October, 2005. He has agreed to dedicate a minimum 15 days per month to Endurance, commencing May 01, 2006, and will primarily be responsible for overseeing all exploration work on the BQ Property. Endurance welcomes Mr. Watkins' commitment to both the project and the Company, as it moves forward on the BQ property.

On April 20th, Endurance announced a gold intercept of 0.776 gpt over 33.05 metres, from a zone of stringer and stockwork sulphide mineralization in altered volcanics. That intercept represents a new discovery, which the Company will attempt to expand and up-grade with a planned $380,000 exploration program over the next four month period. That program will include additional Induced Polarization and magnetic geophysical surveys, additional soil geochemistry, detailed geological mapping, and a substantial diamond drilling program.
