JV Partners

Miranda Gold Corp. has a reputation as one of the best project generators in Nevada attracting a variety of mining companies to fund the exploration on our properties. By successfully leveraging our technical expertise into joint venture partnerships we lower the risk of early stage exploration and preserve shareholder wealth. In exchange for earned interest in the projects they finance, our Joint Venture partners also allow for greater growth opportunities for shareholders. Below is a list of our current partners:

Newcrest Mining Ltd. www.newcrest.com.au

Newcrest explores for, develops and operates gold and copper mines in Australia and overseas. It has a strategy focused on expanding discovery for long term results.

Newcrest recently signed a Letter of Intent to Joint Venture on Miranda Gold's Horse Mountain project whereby Newcrest may earn a 60% interest by funding $3,200,000 over a four year period.

Piedmont Mining Company Inc. www.piedmontmining.com

Piedmont Mining Company, Inc. is focused on exploration of properties in Nevada that have the potential to host high-grade gold and/or silver deposits. The Company's strategy is to select properties which it believes have exceptional potential and option or joint venture them only with experienced exploration groups. The Company does not intend to build its own exploration staff. The Company has now entered into earn-in agreements with experienced exploration groups on 7 gold and/or silver properties in Nevada.

Piedmont has entered a joint venture agreement with Miranda Gold on the PPM Project, located in the north-end of the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend.
