Gold Reserve Inc. (TSX:GRZ) (AMEX:GRZ) today announced that it has completed

and dental care to the poor initiated by Venezuelan President Chavez.
The Company works closely with the local community on various social issues
and continues to pursue its proposal to the Ministry of Basic Industries and
Mines (MIBAM) to implement a support program within the framework of Mission
Piar, another one of President Chavez's social initiatives which is directed
at local small miners and encompasses technical assistance and training,
mitigating environmental impact as well as integration of the small miners
into the formal economy.
In recognition of its commitment to social issues, the Latin-America Mining
Organization ("OLAMI"), an industry association that represents and promotes
mining in 16 Latin American countries, previously recognized the Company with
a Special Award for Excellence in Social Management during the pre-operational
stage.
Doug Belanger, President, stated, "We are proud to be a supporter of the local
communities and its residents and the recent completion of the new community
healthcare center is an example of our continuing efforts to support the local
