Amador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AGX) (Pink Sheets: ADRGF) has started a review and compilation of the past drilling on the Silverclaim Lake property to gain a greater understanding of the nature of silver mineralization and to further advance the project.

The Silverclaim Lake Claims block is located in Mickle Township, Ontario (100km southwest of Kirkland Lake, Ontario), in the heart of Elk Lake Silver camp and is easily accessed by highway 650.

The mineralization is thought to be associated with Nipissing Diabase. However, the mineralization of the Elk Lake camp appears to be to significantly different from the traditional silver mining camps in the area. The unique feature of the style of silver mineralization is the presence of significant silver tenors in the host rock adjacent to the vein system. It is postulated that the very coarse grained, almost pegmatitic nature of zones within the Nipissing Diabase have either created a primary porosity along irregular grain boundaries in which mineralizing fluids have deposited silver or silver has been precipitated along grain boundaries as a late stage primary feature within the differentiate. These hypothesise are yet to be tested. The end result is that the presence of the silver tenors in the wall rock may act to broaden economic zones or at least decrease waste material in a mining scenario.


Drilling Targets

The previous drilling was directed in three separate areas of the Silverclaim Lake Claims block, namely the Copper Vein showing, the Teck-Lacana ramp and the Cotley Mine Workings. Please refer to the drill hole location map.:

Hole AGSC07-01 is located at the copper showing, approximately 700m west and 1300m north of the Cotley mine workings near the north-west corner of Silverclaim Lake. It was drilled beneath a surface trench copper vein showing. Anomalous copper values were intersected ranging from 0.14% Cu over 0.30m to 0.46% Cu over 2.18m. (See table of significant intersections)


Teck Lacana Ramp

Hole AGSC07-02 was drilled to reproduce an historical hole with significant silver values to the north of the 1049 foot ramp decline and exploratory workings that Teck Corporation and Lacana completed in 1983. The most significant intersection was 158g Ag/tonne over 1.35m drilled width. Holes AGSC07-22 & AGSC07-23 were drilled to the south of the ramp and intersected anomalous values in Ag, Cu, Co and weakly anomalous values in Pt and Pd.


Cotley Mine Workings

The area surrounding the Coltey Mine workings and approximately 100m to the east of the workings was the focus of most of the 2007 drilling. Holes AGSC07-03, 04, 05, and 15 to 18 were drilled to test the down-dip and strike extension of silver mineralization in the vicinity of historical underground workings and Holes AGSC07-06, 07, 08, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 were short holes designed to test to the north of an historical surface trench located approximately 100m west of the Cotley mine workings. Holes AGSC07-09, 10 and 11 tested beneath this trench. (2007 Area 4) Most holes intersected a strong structure with calcite veining and wall rock alteration. Silver occurs within veins and the adjacent wall rock.
