Amador Gold

Multi-Metal Company Exploiting Prominent Ontario Regions Significant new gold discovery on surface at Loveland (11.48 g\t gold) over 400 meters away from the only other known gold zone (6.37 g/t over 8.55 m & 10.39 g/t over 3.1 m)

Amador Gold Corp. Announces Results from Phase One of Horwood Drill Program, Plans Phase Two

- Drilling Intersected a Number of Mineralized Zones Throughout a Larger Quartz Feldspar Porphyry
- New Geophysical Data Available for Rhb Zone (Previous Grab Samples as High as 183.5 G/T Gold) - a Number of High-Priority Rhb Zone Targets Have Now Been Identified for Phase Two Drilling
- Bend Zone Extended to Depth; Silicified Shear Zone With Anomalous Gold Values Extend Favourable Structure to Depth
- Drilling at Loveland Property Currently Underway

Diamond drilling below an earlier intersection of 12.35 g/t gold over 2.4 meters intersected 1.42 g/t gold over 0.9m, from 204.20 to 205.10 meters and 1.71 g/t over 0.4 meters from 154.30 to 154.70 meters. Both intercepts occur within silicified shear zones. 2008 diamond drilling from AGX-12 within the Gabbro Zone intersected visible gold in a narrow quartz vein and returned 29.4 g/t gold over 0.4m from 24.0 to 24.4m.

Soil gas and MMI test geochemical surveys completed over the Haddington and Labbe showings returned anomalous gold indicators. The porphyry intersected in the Labbe zone possesses widespread, anomalous gold values. A compilation of all drilling down on the Labbe zone is underway to evaluate the structure controlling gold mineralization.

RHB Zone Update:

Geophysical surveys have been completed over the RHB zone. Magnetic VLF-EM and induced polarization (IP) surveys completed and are currently being evaluated and have already identified numerous drill targets. An IP survey has located other anomalies which may host favourable structures mineralization. The geophysical surveys as well as the geochemical survey are also being evaluated for potential targets. The Company expects to release proposed drill plans for the RHB zone in the near future.

A rigorous quality assurance program is employed which includes the insertion of standards and blanks for each batch of samples. Samples of the NQ size drill core are sawed in half, with one-half sent to a commercial laboratory and the other half retained for future reference. Core samples are routinely analyzed for gold using standard fire assay using 30 gram aliquot with atomic absorption finish.

Peter Caldbick, P.Geo., and Charles Hartley, P.Geo. are the qualified people for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 for the Company's Horwood Project. Project supervision is by Charles Hartley and the contents of the press release have been reviewed and approved by Peter Caldbick.

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Diana Mark as Corporate Secretary and Kathi Bartels as Assistant Corporate Secretary.
