AGX Silver X Mining Corp

Amador Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: AGX) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced diamond drilling on its wholly owned Loveland Property, located approximately 35 kilometers northwest of Timmins, Ontario. The initial program consists of approximately 1500 meters of diamond drilling on a number of VTEM targets with similar characteristics to those associated with the historic Hollinger and Cominco Zones.

The Cominco Zone contains a non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 130,000 tons grading 0.68% Ni and 0.73% Cu and is located approximately 1.5 km northwest of the Hollinger Zone which contains a non-compliant 43-101 resource of 422,000 tons grading 0.71% Ni and 0.42% Cu.

On May 21, 2009 the Company announced results on drilling of VTEM conductor clusters similar to those found above the Cominco Zone and Hollinger Zones. Conductor B had an intercept of 1.02% combined Ni/Cu over 5.4 meters and Conductor C returned anomalous nickel and copper values. Both clusters remain open downdip and on strike.

A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the Cominco and Hollinger historical estimates as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources and the historical estimates should not be relied upon.
