Drilling Resumes at Miranda Gold′s Angel Wing Project

01.09.2011  |  Business Wire

Miranda Gold Corp. ('Miranda?) (TSX-V: MAD) is pleased to
announce that follow-up drilling has started at Angel Wing, a sediment
hosted gold and epithermal vein project in Elko County, Nevada.
Miranda′s funding partner, Ramelius Resources Ltd. ('Ramelius?)
(ASX:RMS), plans to drill four core holes for a total of about 1,600 ft
(488 m) and four to six reverse circulation holes totaling about 3,000
ft (900 m).


During the current round of drilling, angled core holes will continue to
test the Da Vinci vein as well as provide first-ever drill tests of
three additional outcropping veins, the Botticelli, Rossetti, and
Raphael. The Botticelli vein is a northwestward splay of the Da Vinci
vein. The Rossetti and Raphael veins are approximately 1,500 ft (450 m)
northeast and 5,400 ft (1,650 m) north of the Da Vinci vein,
respectively. The reverse circulation holes will test geophysical
anomalies.


IP-resistivity surveys completed by Ramelius in late July aggregated 9.3
line mi (15 line km). They generated multiple anomalies, some of which
coincide with known veins. The IP survey was designed to continue
evaluation of dominant northerly fault/vein trends and related
intersecting conjugate structures in limestone and volcanic rocks along
a 1.5 mi (2.5 km) strike length.


Miranda, on behalf of Ramelius, submitted to the Bureau of Land
Management an amendment to the Angel Wing disturbance permit that will
allow for an additional 21 drill sites. With approval of this amendment,
expected in early September, Ramelius will be able to further drill test
the veins, their projections, and the geophysical anomalies.


In 2010 angle reverse circulation hole AW10-03 targeted the Da Vinci
vein and intersected 5 ft of 0.118 oz Au/t (1.5 m of 4.05 g Au/t) and 5
ft of 0.111 oz Au/t (1.5 m of 3.80 g Au/t) separated by a zone with no
sample recovery due to bad drilling conditions. Miranda is encouraged
that the 2010 drilling demonstrates continuity of the Da Vinci vein from
surface to a depth of 230 ft (70.1 m) and along approximately 250 ft
(76.2 m) of strike. The 2010 drilling also discovered two additional
veins adjacent to the Da Vinci vein that were not visible at surface.

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. Past work
consisted of mapping, soil and rock sampling, and a gravity survey.
High-grade, surface rock chip samples up to 2.7 oz Au/t (92.5 g Au/t)
occur in steeply dipping, quartz-calcite-adularia bonanza veins within
Triassic limestone. High-grade vein showings and drill intervals occur
in a zone measuring 1 mi (1.6 km) along strike, 1,200 ft (366 m) wide,
and open at depth. Surface sampling also identified disseminated and
quartz-calcite veinlet stockwork gold mineralization up to 0.044 oz Au/t
(1.507 g Au/t) in altered limestone and Tertiary conglomerate. Historic
shallow, vertical drilling targeted disseminated mineralization and
returned up to 0.047 oz Au/t over 50 ft (1.609 g Au/t over 15.2 m) in
drill hole DC-7.


All data, disclosed in this press release, including sampling,
analytical and test data, have been reviewed and verified by Vice
President of Exploration Joseph Hebert, C.P.G., B.Sc. Geology and
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
