MAD Miranda Gold Corp.

Miranda Gold Corp. ("Miranda") (TSX VENTURE: MAD)(OTCBB: MRDDF)(FRANKFURT: MRG) announces that it is evaluating a possible copper-molybdenum porphyry system on its Redlich property in Esmeralda County, Nevada.

Miranda's Redlich project is located within the Walker Lane structural domain, 55 miles west of Tonopah, Nevada. The property consists of 213 lode claims and covers 4,400 acres (1,782 hectares). Recent drilling focused on a northwest-trending fault corridor hosting high-grade gold in low-sulfidation quartz veins and thick, continuous zones of disseminated / quartz stockwork-hosted gold surrounding the high-grade veins. The copper-molybdenum porphyry zone on the south end of the property represents a second target that is being currently evaluated.

The porphyry target was explored with core drilling by Molycorp, Bear Creek, and Amax, Inc. in the early 1960's and Inspiration Development Company ("Inspiration") in the early 1980s. Miranda recently obtained portions of the Inspiration drill core. Miranda re-logged some of the core and submitted for assay a 40 ft (12.2 m) interval from 369 to 409 ft (112 to 125 m) from Inspiration drill hole RH-5. This interval contains visible native copper, chalcopyrite, bornite and copper sulfates within a quartz monzonite intrusion that shows weak silicification and moderate phyllic alteration. Assays for this interval returned 1.33% copper. Several historic drill holes show visible chalcopyrite and molybdenum within quartz veinlets and as fine grained disseminations. Historic assays from Inspiration drill hole EDH-9 show 600 ft (183 m) of 624 ppm (0.062%) molybdenum from 1000 to 1700 ft (305 to 518 m). RH-5 and EDH-9 represent the best of 10 known historic holes drilled within the target area. The remaining holes show weakly anomalous copper and molybdenum values, although not all holes were assayed for both metals.

The porphyry target is predominantly covered by gravel, although quartz monzonite with 200 to 400 ppm (0.02 - 0.04%) molybdenum in rock samples outcrops on its west side.

A company which holds geothermal rights that overlap the Redlich claims recently completed a test hole on the Redlich property within the area of the porphyry target. This hole went to 1940 ft (591 m). Logging of drill cuttings by Miranda geologists show that the hole penetrated siliceous hornfels at the gravel-bedrock contact and stayed in this rock type until the hole was ended. Trace amounts of visible molybdenum and chalcopyrite in quartz veinlets occur within this hole, suggesting that contact metamorphosed sediments adjacent to the buried intrusive are also mineralized. Miranda was supplied with 30-ft composite samples from this hole for logging and assaying. Anomalous assay results include 990 ft (302 m) of 545 ppm (0.055%) copper from 710 to 1700 ft (216 to 518 m) and 780 ft (238 m) of 161 ppm (0.016%) molybdenum from 710 to 1460 ft (216 to 445 m). The anomalous intercepts showed moderate to strong chlorite that may represent a propylitic alteration suite.

Miranda is seeking a joint venture partner to advance either the epithermal gold vein or the copper-molybdenum porphyry target on this property.
