Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: DGRI) today announced that it has retained the law firm of Heenan Blaikie, LLP to assist with legal and regulatory issues in Canada and Mexico.

"Both Canada and Mexico are mining-friendly countries that offer Dutch Gold opportunities to advance our strategy of focusing on late-stage proven reserves that can quickly become producing assets," said Daniel Hollis, CEO. "To execute this strategy, we need to forge relationships with advisors who have impeccable reputations and a depth of experience in these countries. Having represented companies in these countries for decades, Heenan Blaikie is just such a firm."

Heenan Blaikie LLP advises and represents Canadian and foreign mineral exploration and mining companies from the early days of mineral exploration activity through to project development, finance, production and marketing. Their reputation in the mining industry hinges on the close relationships they have developed with a long list of mining companies -- from the junior explorers to the major mining companies, as well as the brokerage firms and banks that service them. Their mining team has worked in many of the world's major and emerging mining countries, including Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, Australia, Asia and Africa.
