2013 Drilling Completed at Miranda Gold’s Angel Wing Project Intersects 45 ft of 0.076 oz Au/ton

Miranda Gold Corp. (“Miranda”) (TSX-V: MAD) is pleased to announce that Ramelius Resources Ltd. (“Ramelius”) (ASX:RMS), Miranda's funding partner at Angel Wing, completed its 2013 drill program. Ramelius drilled five reverse circulation (RC) holes totaling 4,050 ft (1,234.4 m) that further tested geophysical targets beneath volcanic cover. The strongest gold intercept was in hole AW13-05 with 45 ft of 0.076 oz Au/ton containing 5 ft of 0.210 oz Au/ton (13.7 m of 2.608 g Au/t containing 1.5 m of 7.2 g Au/t). Angel Wing is an epithermal vein and sediment-hosted gold project in northeast Elko County, Nevada.

During 2013, Ramelius drilled three holes in the vicinity of a doughnut-shaped aeromagnetic anomaly approximately 1,200 ft (400 m) in diameter at the Grass Hollow target, one hole into another magnetic low approximately 2,500 ft (760 m) to the east-northeast of Grass Hollow, and one hole into a north-trending resistivity high about 1,200 ft (365 m) northeast of Grass Hollow. All holes intersected gold at grades above 0.1 g Au/t and the two holes on the west side of the Grass Hollow magnetic anomaly intersected gold grades above 0.1 oz Au/ton (above 3.43 g Au/t). The gold is hosted primarily in decalcified or silicified silty limestone near its contact with overlying conglomerate.

The following table summarizes the six Grass Hollow holes with the longest or strongest gold intercepts and includes the 2013 holes with gold grades above 0.01 oz Au/ton (above 0.343 g Au/t).

Grass Hollow and vicinity are underlain by a downward succession of Tertiary rhyolitic tuffs, Tertiary conglomerate, and Triassic limestone. Principal gold mineralization is in the upper 200 ft (61.0 m) of the limestone, where it is associated with decalcification and pervasive silicification. Anomalous arsenic, antimony, and mercury extend upward into the conglomerate and tuffs.

To date, Ramelius has drill-tested nine target areas with a total of 37 holes aggregating 22,046 ft (6,719.6 m).

Project Details

The Angel Wing project consists of 87 unpatented lode claims covering 2.8 sq mi (7.3 sq km.) in northeast Elko County, Nevada. Project area stratigraphy from youngest to oldest is a) Tertiary felsic volcanic units, b) Tertiary conglomerate, and c) Triassic limestone. Work previous to that of Ramelius' consisted of geologic mapping, soil and rock sampling, a gravity survey, and RC drilling. Gold values from 0.1 to 94 g Au/t in rock chips occur in an area about 6,700 ft (2,042 m) long and up to 3,000 ft (914 m) wide. Rock samples of altered and quartz-calcite-veinlet stockworked limestone and conglomerate contain up to 0.045 oz Au/ton (1.530 g Au/t). High gold value rock-chip samples with 0.29 to 2.7 oz Au/ton (10 to 94 g Au/t) occur in steeply dipping quartz-calcite-adularia veins with distinctive "angel wing" textures within the limestone. Historic shallow vertical drilling targeted disseminated mineralization and returned up to 0.048 oz Au/ton over 50 ft (1.643 g Au/t over 15.2 m) in drill hole DC-7. Since 2010, Ramelius completed IP/Resistivity, ground magnetic, and soil geochemical surveys, three core holes, and 34 RC holes.

Agreement

On September 17, 2010, Miranda signed an agreement with Ramelius whereby Ramelius could earn a 70% interest in Agnel Wing by expending US$4,000,000 over five years (the “Initial Earn-in”). Ramelius has met the US$2,000,000 expenditure requirement to September 17, 2013. Ramelius has given notice that they will withdraw from the agreement affective October 5, 2013. Miranda intends to seek a new partner to conduct additional drilling at the Grass Hollow target
