Announces Further Refinement to iShares Gold Trust </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>SAN FRANCISCO, December&nbsp;8, 2010 &#150; </B>BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) today
announced that the iShares Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) business, the world&#146;s largest ETF manager, has completed the final stage of planned refinements to the iShares Gold Trust (NYSEArca: IAU). With this final refinement, IAU will begin daily
valuation of the Trust&#146;s gold using the London PM Fix Price, which is a widely followed and recognized benchmark for the price of gold. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;This change marks the conclusion of our planned refinements to the iShares Gold Trust,&#148; said Noel Archard, Head of US iShares Product at
BlackRock. &#147;The IAU refinements we&#146;ve undertaken during the past six months position our gold ETF as an instrument of choice in gold investing, and in response to investor feedback, focuses specifically on addressing key risk factors
around gold custody, inspection and allocation.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the six months ended November&nbsp;30,2010, IAU has seen an 84% increase in
trading volume. &#147;We believe that investors are applying rigorous standards in evaluating commodity ETFs and that standard is based on quality of exposure,&#148; said Archard. &#147;We are very pleased with the recent flows into IAU and believe
they represent sound due diligence during the ETF selection process.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">About BlackRock: </FONT></P>

globally across equities, fixed income and commodities, which trade on 19 exchanges worldwide. The iShares Funds are bought and sold like common stocks on securities exchanges. The iShares Funds are attractive to many individual and institutional
investors and financial intermediaries because of their relative low cost and trading flexibility. Investors can purchase and sell shares through any brokerage firm, financial advisor, or online broker, and hold the funds in any type of brokerage
account. The iShares customer base consists of the institutional segment of pension plans and fund managers, as well as the retail segment of financial advisors and high net worth individuals. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>iShares Gold Trust (&#147;Trust&#148;) has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with
the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and other documents the Trust has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these
documents for free by visiting www.iShares.com or EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Trust will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling toll-free 1-800-474-2737. </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The iShares Gold Trust (&#147;Trust&#148;) is not an investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act. Shares of the Trust are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds. Because shares of the Trust are created to reflect the
price of the gold held by the Trust, the market price of the shares will be as unpredictable as the price of gold has historically been. Additionally, shares of the Trust are bought and sold at market price (not NAV). Brokerage commissions will
reduce returns. </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Shares of the Trust are created to reflect, at any given time, the market price of gold owned by the trust at that time
less the trust&#146;s expenses and liabilities. The price received upon the sale of the shares, which trade at market price, may be more or less than the value of the gold represented by them. If an investor sells the shares at a time when no active
market for them exists, such lack of an active market will most likely adversely affect the price received for the shares. <B>For a more complete discussion of the risk factors relative to the Trust, carefully read the prospectus</B>. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Following an investment in shares of the Trust, several factors may have the effect of causing a decline in the prices of gold and a corresponding
decline in the price of the shares. Among them: (i)&nbsp;Large sales by the official sector. A significant portion of the aggregate world gold holdings is owned by governments, central banks and related institutions. If one or more of these
institutions decides to sell in amounts large enough to cause a decline in world gold prices, the price of the shares will be adversely affected. (ii)&nbsp;A significant increase in gold hedging activity by gold producers. Should there be an
increase in the level of hedge activity of gold producing companies, it could cause a decline in world gold prices, adversely affecting the price of the shares. (iii)&nbsp;A significant change in the attitude of speculators and investors towards
gold. Should the speculative community take a negative view towards gold, it could cause a decline in world gold prices, negatively impacting the price of the shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The amount of gold represented by shares of the Trust will decrease over the life of the trust due to sales necessary to pay the sponsor&#146;s fee and trust expenses. Without increase in the price of
gold sufficient to compensate for that decrease, the price of the shares will also decline, and investors will lose money on their investment. The Trust will have limited duration. The liquidation of the trust may occur at a time when the
disposition of the trust&#146;s gold will result in losses to investors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although market makers will generally take advantage of differences
between the NAV and the trading price of Trust shares through arbitrage opportunities, there is no guarantee that they will do so. There is no guarantee an active trading market will develop for the shares, which may result in losses on your
investment at the time of disposition of your shares. The value of the shares of the Trust will be adversely affected if gold owned by the trust is lost or damaged in circumstances in which the trust is not in a position to recover the corresponding
loss. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle. This means that the value of your shares may be adversely affected by trust losses that, if the trust had been actively managed, might have been possible to avoid. </FONT></P>
