Miranda Reports Initial Drill Results from Red Hill Project

06.07.2011  |  Business Wire

Miranda Gold Corp. ('Miranda?) (TSX-V: MAD) is pleased to
announce initial drill results from its Red Hill Project in Eureka
County, Nevada. Miranda′s funding partner at Red Hill, NuLegacy Gold
Corporation, have completed three holes in the Long Fault Anomaly
predominately on Miranda′s portion of the Red Hill project. Three holes
in the ongoing drill campaign have been completed for approximately
4,430 ft (1,350 m). Assays are available for only one of the holes.


As reported to the Company, of particular interest is a significant
intercept of 5ft of 0.055 oz Au/t (1.5m of 1.874 g Au/t) within a
broader zone of anomalous mineralization in RHM11-006. The gold bearing
interval is within the hanging wall of the Long Fault Anomaly and occurs
within carbonaceous and pyritic siltstone and limestone of the Horse
Canyon Formation, a geologic host for economic mineralization in the
nearby Cortez District.

Drilled intersections; true widths cannot be estimated at this time.


Drill results continue to validate the Induced Polarization survey that
defined the Long Fault Anomaly and suggest the presence of a significant
gold-bearing hydrothermal system with alteration features common to gold
deposits on the Cortez Trend.

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 limestone.


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.


All drill samples were collected with a reverse circulation drill using
5 ft (1.5 m) sample intervals and following standard industry practice.
Samples were assayed by American Assay Laboratories, Inc. of Sparks,
Nevada. Gold results were determined using standard fire assay
techniques on a 30 gram sample with an atomic absorption finish.
NuLegacy′s QC/QA included the insertion of numerous standards and blanks
on a regular basis. All data, disclosed in this press release, including
sampling, analytical and test data have been reviewed and verified by
Joseph Hebert, Vice President of Exploration, C.P.G., BSc. Geology and
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
