Miranda Gold Reports Final Drill Results from Red Hill and Coal Canyon Projects

04.11.2011  |  Business Wire

Miranda Gold Corp. ('Miranda?) (TSX-V: MAD)is
pleased to announce final drill results from its Red Hill and Coal
Canyon projects in Eureka County, Nevada. Miranda's funding partner for
both these projects, NuLegacy Gold Corporation (TSX-V: NUG), completed a
total of nine reverse circulation holes, eight at Red Hill for a total
of 10,180 ft (3,102.9 m) and one at Coal Canyon for 1,485 ft (452.6 m).
The three Red Hill holes, RHM11-010 through -012 totaling 3,385 ft
(1,031.7 m), and the Coal Canyon hole, RHCC11-001, were completed since
the last Red Hill press release of August 31, 2011.


Miranda is encouraged that NuLegacy's last drill hole at Red Hill,
RHM11-012 intersected significant gold mineralization and looks forward
to NuLegacy's continued drill evaluation in 2012. The following table
summarizes all significant gold intercepts in NuLegacy's drilling at Red
Hill and Coal Canyon for 2010 and 2011. Significant intercepts are gold
grades of 0.010 oz Au/ton (0.343 g Au/t) or better over intercepts of at
least 5 ft (1.5 m). The significant gold intercepts are in stratigraphic
units equivalent to those that host gold mineralization in the Cortez
District.

*True widths of drilled gold intercepts cannot be determined at this
time. Gold grades in oz Au/ton are calculated from original data in g
Au/t.


Holes with and without significant gold intercepts may have intercepts
over tens of feet of elevated, anomalous gold values; e.g., RHM11-007
contains 35 ft (10.7 m) with 0.012 to 0.296 g Au/t, RHM11-009 contains
210 ft (64.0 m) with 0.010 to 0.256 g Au/t, RHM11-011 contains 450 ft
(137.2 m) with 0.010 to 0.160 g Au/t, RHM11-012 contains 375 ft (114.3
m) with 0.010 to 0.100 g Au/t, and RHCC11-001 contains 175 ft (53.3 m)
with 0.018 to 0.180 g Au/t. Holes with significant gold intercepts,
taken together with the gold-anomalous holes, may all be part of one or
more large gold systems that require additional drilling to define,
e.g., the distance between holes RHM10-001 and RHM10-002 is about 2,500
ft (760 m) and there are no intervening holes.


During 2010 and 2011, NuLegacy's drill effort concentrated on the
east-northeast trending Long Fault which extends at least 5,600 ft
(1,700 m) across the southern portion of the Red Hill claim block.


In 2012, NuLegacy plans to further evaluate the mineralization in
BRH-013 that Miranda believes may be the best drill intercept in the
Cortez gold corridor on trend and southeast of Barrick's new discoveries
at Red Hill (different from Miranda's Red Hill) and Goldrush. Barrick
announced a total inferred resource of 3.5 M ozs Au for these
discoveries. BRH-013 intersects 80 ft of 0.145 oz Au/t (24.4 m of 4.960
g Au/t) which includes 45 ft of 0.235 oz Au/t (13.7 m of 8.064 g Au/t).
BRH-013 is approximately 5,500 ft (1,680 m) northwest of the Long Fault.

Project Detail


Red Hill and Coal Canyon are sediment-hosted gold projects within the
southeast-trending gold corridor that includes Barrick Gold's Pipeline,
Cortez, and Cortez Hills mines and, southeast of them, their new
discoveries at Red Hill (Barrick) and Goldrush. Miranda's projects are
about 15 miles (24 km) southeast of the 12 million ounce Cortez Hills
gold deposit and about 4 to 6 mi (6 to 10 km) southeast of Goldrush.


Red Hill consists of 79 lode claims covering 2.5 sq mi (6.7 sq km) and
Coal Canyon, about 5 mi (8 km) west of Red Hill, consists of 64 lode
claims covering 2.0 sq mi (5.2 sq km). These projects occur within a
window of lower-plate limestone exposed through chert and siliceous
sediments of the upper-plate of the Roberts Mountains Thrust. They cover
extensive areas of hydrothermal alteration occurring within fault zones
and pervasively in lower-plate limestone.


In 2006, Red Hill drill hole BRH-013 intersected 80 ft of 0.145 oz Au/t
(24.4 m of 4.960 g Au/t) from 1,920 to 2,000 ft (585.2 to 609.6 m),
including 45 ft of 0.235 oz Au/t (13.7 m of 8.064 g Au/t) from 1,920 to
1,965 ft (585.2 to 598.9 m). 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.


In 2009 NuLegacy became Miranda's funding partner for Red Hill and in
2010 Coal Canyon was bundled into the Red Hill exploration agreement.
Through the Miranda and other agreements, NuLegacy's Red Hill Prospect
covers approximately 45 sq mi (116.5 sq km).


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., B.Sc. Geology and
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
