DOUGLAS LAKE PROVIDES UPDATE ON ITS HANDENI GOLD PROJECT Vancouver, British Columbia, November 17, 2010 -- Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "Douglas Lake") (OTCBB: DLKM) is pleased to provide an update regarding its recently acquired Handeni Project which is located in the rapidly developing region of eastern Tanzania. Douglas Lakes' 100% owned Handeni Project is located within an area which has been interpreted as belonging to a reworked component of the same Archean superterrane that hosts the gold deposits of Geita (Anglo Gold) and Bulyanhulu (Barrick) in Tanzania. The project consists of 4 prospecting licenses covering approximately 800 km2 which are directly adjacent to, and partly surround, Canaco Resources Inc's (V.CAN) 200 km2 Kilindi license which holds the Magambazi gold minerlization occurrence. The region has historically seen small-scale artisanal workings which originally allowed explorers to focus on the Magambazi prospect. Today the Handeni region is recognized to be one of the prime exploration targets for gold mineralization in Tanzania. IPP Gold Limited, the previous holding company of the Handeni Project, performed extensive work on the area over several field seasons dating back to 2005. This work included geologic mapping, rock and soil sampling, some trenching, ground magnetic surveys as well as a large airborne magnetic and radiometric survey performed by the Council for Geoscience of South Africa. All geochemical analytical work was conducted by internationally accredited and independent laboratories, SGS Laboratories and/or Humac Laboratories, located in Mwanza, Tanzania. Based on the prior work conducted on the area, the Company believes that certain portions of its Handeni Project possess excellent potential for shear-hosted economic gold vein mineralization to be determined. Mr. Sangha, CEO/director of Douglas Lake, comments, "We are very encouraged by the quality of data from prior work performed on the area, and we believe there are a number of high potential gold mineralization targets on the Douglas Lake ground. We are looking forward to the next phase of this project". The Company has requested a geologist to prepare a Technical Report on the Handeni Project in accordance with the provisions of National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") of the Canadian Securities Administrators. Upon receipt of the Technical Report the Company will file it on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and has been reviewed by Reyno Scheepers, Ph.D., Pr.Sci.Nat, the Vice-President of Exploration and a director of the Company, a QP under NI 43-101.

Notice to U.S. Investors Any mineral resources referred to herein or in other materials provided by the Company have been estimated in accordance with the definition standards on mineral resources of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in National Instrument 43-101 and are not compliant with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Industry Guide 7 guidelines. In addition, measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources and inferred mineral resources, while recognized and required by Canadian regulations, are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Accordingly, we have not reported them in the United States. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral resources in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In particular, it should be noted that mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of the reported measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources referred to in this news release or in other materials provided by the Company are economically or legally mineable.
