PROXY STATEMENT
The accompanying proxy is solicited by Tara Golds directors for voting at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on December 28, 2007, and at any and all adjournments of the meeting. If the proxy is executed and returned, it will be voted at the meeting in accordance with any instructions, and if no specification is made, the proxy will be voted for the proposals set forth in the accompanying notice of the special meeting of shareholders. Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted, either by writing to Tara Gold at the address set forth above or in person at the time of the meeting. Additionally, any later dated proxy will revoke a previous proxy from the same shareholder. This proxy statement was mailed to shareholders of record on or about December 4, 2007.
There is one class of capital stock outstanding. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Tara Golds common stock is required to approve the proposal to increase Tara Golds authorized common stock. The adoption of any other proposals to come before the meeting will require the approval of a majority of votes cast at the meeting.
Shares of Tara Golds common stock represented by properly executed proxies that reflect abstentions or "broker non-votes" will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the annual meeting. "Broker non-votes" represent shares held by brokerage firms in "street-name" with respect to which the broker has not received instructions from the customer or otherwise does not have discretionary voting authority. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as having voted against the proposals to be considered at the meeting.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION SUCH THAT THE COMPANY WOULD BE AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE 150,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Tara Gold is presently authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of November 7, 2007, Tara Gold had 91,110,953 outstanding shares of common stock. Approximately 7,895,834 additional shares could be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of notes.
Due to the lack of any significant revenues, Tara Gold has relied upon proceeds from the private sales of its common stock, as well as securities convertible into common stock, to meet its funding requirements.
Tara Gold needs to increase its authorized shares of common stock to accommodate the additional shares which may be issued if all outstanding options and warrants were exercised and to allow Tara Gold to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible into common stock.
Although Tara Gold will be required to fund its operations through the sale of its securities until significant revenues are generated from its mining properties, as of the date of this proxy statement Tara Gold did not have any definitive agreements or arrangements with any person to sell any additional shares of its common stock, except for Tara Gold's obligation to issue common stock upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Any shareholder proposal which may properly be included in the proxy solicitation material for the annual meeting of shareholders following Tara Golds year ending December 31, 2007 must be received by the Secretary of Tara Gold no later than February 28, 2008.

GENERAL
The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and proxy statement, and all other costs in connection with solicitation of proxies will be paid by Tara Gold including any additional solicitation made by letter or telephone. Failure of a quorum to be present at the meeting will necessitate adjournment and will subject Tara Gold to additional expense.
Tara Golds Board of Directors does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that others will present any other items of business at the annual meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.
Please complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy promptly. No postage is required if mailed in the United States.
