Drill Results from Miranda Gold′s Red Hill Project

13.01.2011  |  Business Wire

Miranda Gold Corp. ('Miranda?) (TSX-V: MAD) announces drill
results from its Red Hill project in Eureka County, Nevada. NuLegacy
Gold Corp. ('NuLegacy?) (TSX-V: NUG), Miranda′s funding partner at Red
Hill completed four drill holes for a total of 4,920 ft (1,515 m).


Three holes in the program tested a large 7,380 ft (2,250 m) by 3,300 ft
to 9,900 ft (1,000 to 3,000 m) CSAMT/IP/Resistivity geophysical anomaly
that was interpreted to represent carbonaceous material and pyrite.
Drill holes RHM10-001 and 002 show highly anomalous gold values in silty
limestone with carbon alteration, disseminated pyrite and elevated trace
elements, confirming the interpretation. This geologic setting is
characteristic of many Carlin-type gold systems. A fourth hole, which
intersected 69 ft (21 m) of anomalous gold very near the surface, tested
a gold in soil anomaly 4,500 ft (1,370 m) west of the geophysical
anomaly.


The holes are widely spaced, more than 3,280 ft (1,000 m) apart,
presenting a target-rich environment for discovering significant gold
mineralization.


All significant drill intercepts (defined as any mineralization grading
0.010 oz Au/t (0.342 g Au/t) or better over 5 ft (1.5 m) lengths or
longer are presented in the following table:

NuLegacy announced today that they 'have budgeted $4 million over the
next couple of years? for drilling on their consolidated land position
at Red Hill. This exploration will focus on their 45 square mile
holdings that include Miranda′s Red Hill and Coal Canyon projects as
well as claims they have optioned from Barrick Gold and Idaho Resources.

All drill samples were collected with a reverse circulation drill using
5 ft (1.5 m) sample intervals. Samples were assayed by ALS Chemex
Laboratories, Inc. of Sparks, Nevada. Gold results were determined using
standard fire assay techniques on a 30 gram sample with an atomic
absorption finish. Montezuma QA/QC included the insertion of standards
and blanks on a regular basis, collection of duplicate samples, and
rerun assays on select samples. Check assays were performed by SGS
Mineral Services in Toronto, Ontario.

Project Details


Red Hill is a sediment-hosted gold project consisting of 79 lode claims
covering 2.6 sq mi (6.7 sq km) that is located 15 miles (24 km)
southeast of the 12 million ounce Cortez Hills gold deposit. The Red
Hill project occurs within a window of lower-plate limestone exposed
through chert and siliceous sediments of the upper-plate of the Roberts
Mountains Thrust. It is one of a series of windows and associated gold
deposits that define the Cortez Trend. The project covers an extensive
area of hydrothermal alteration occurring within fault zones in and
pervasively in lower-plate sediments.


In 2006 drill hole BRH-013 intersected 80 ft of 0.146 oz Au/t (24.4m of
4.987g Au/t) from 1,920 to 2,000 ft (585.4 to 609.8m), including 45 ft
of 0.237 oz Au/t (913.7m of 8.105g Au/t) from 1,920 to 1,965 ft (585.4
to 599.1m). Gold mineralization is hosted in silty carbonate rocks
associated with altered lamprophyre dikes and high levels of arsenic,
antimony, mercury and thallium. These features indicate a Carlin-style
gold system may be present at Red Hill.
