VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(June 24, 2009) - Amador Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AGX) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that recent exploration programs have identified the presence of gold mineralization within a variety of structurally controlled geological environments at the Horwood Property situated approximately 75 kilometers southwest of Timmins, Ontario.

Based on results to date, the Company believes the Horwood Property has significant potential to host economic gold mineralization within both altered carbonate-silica-pyrite-rich zones within porphyritic phases of the Horwood Peninsula Pluton (HPP) and quartz veins located close to the HPP in the footwall mafic volcanic flows. The property also hosts VMS-style (volcanogenic massive sulphide) mineralization discovered while testing an airborne VTEM anomaly during the 2008 drilling program.

More than 90% of the Horwood Property is covered by overburden, which hindered exploration efforts during the historic gold-mining boom in the Timmins region. More recent work programs include a 1995 drilling program by Haddington Resources Ltd., which intersected 11.66 grams/tonne gold over 1.45 meters while testing the updip projection of an earlier drill intersection of 1.44 grams/tonne gold over 1.0 meter.

- A Mise A La Masse survey indicates that the gold-sulphide zone intersected by Haddington's previous drilling program trends in a general easterly direction parallel to the local metavolcanic stratigraphy for at least 220 meters. The strike extensions of this zone are yet to be drill tested.

- Two grab samples taken from a trench near these drill holes returned values of 3.33 grams gold per tonne and 3.02 grams gold per tonne respectively. These occurrences suggest that gold mineralization occurs within a variety of environments that are structurally controlled.

Amador's initial exploration efforts at Horwood focused on the Bend and Gabbro Zones discovered in late 2006. More recent sampling programs have revealed the presence of new gold-vein discoveries in close proximity to the Bend Zone.

- Two grab samples spaced five meters apart returned assays of 6.12 grams gold per tonne and 4.92 grams gold per tonne, respectively. These samples were discovered approximately 50 meters east and 100 meters south of drill hole AGX-08-17 which returned an assay of 12.35 grams per tonne gold over 2.4 meters (reported in Feb 29, 2008 press release).

The recently discovered gold showings are described as occurring within a series of stacked en echelon quartz veins. Previous drilling in the area has confirmed the presence of a series of anomalous gold mineralization in mafic flows and mafic intrusives. Within these wide zones are stacked en echelon quartz carbonate veins where gold appears to be more concentrated, however gold mineralization occurs ubiquitously throughout the altered wallrock as well. Recent sampling to the south indicates that gold mineralization at Horwood may be more widespread than previously thought.

Amador plans to continue trenching and/or drill-testing the gold-bearing zones on strike and at depth in order to identify higher concentrations of gold in high-grade shoots or extensive low-grade zones amenable to open-pit mining. Along with the newly discovered gold showings, the Gabbro and Bend Zones remain important exploration targets as gold mineralization has not been tested at depth on either of these zones.

Ongoing exploration will be guided by a newly revised structural interpretation of the Horwood Peninsula, which proposes that a number of gold occurrences in the area may be linked to dilatent fracture systems within large-scale fold noses.

The Company is currently compiling information and will be releasing a summary map and diagram of the Horwood Gold Project on its website in the near future.

- Hole AGX-08-24 intersected 1.3 meters of massive sulphides grading 4.47% copper and 2.03% zinc from 74.7 to 76 meters.

- Hole AGX-08-29 returned 1.69% copper and 1.31% zinc over 0.3 meters, while Holes AGX-08-23 and AGX-08-25 to 28 returned anomalous copper and zinc values.

- Down-hole geophysical surveys indicate both in-hole and off-hole anomalies. Similar VTEM anomalies are known on the property but are yet to be tested.

Dr. George Hudak, an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and established researcher on volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits, has re-logged diamond drill holes AGX-08-23 and AGX-08-24. The massive sulfide mineralization occurs at a compositional transition from mafic to felsic volcanism, and is typical of VMS-style mineralization. The hangingwall of the massive sulfide mineralization is composed of chert exhalites interbedded with laminated to thin-bedded felsic tuff horizons. The massive sulfide intersection comprises pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite.

"The discovery of VMS mineralization on Horwood combined with recent gold values significantly increases the potential of the project," comments Company president, Richard Hughes. "Although gold remains our primary focus on the Horwood property, follow-up work is also being done on the VMS zone to further assess its potential."

Recent prospecting and sampling on the property also resulted in the discovery of new gold showings about 2 km east of the Bend and Gabbro Zones discovered in late 2006.

- Grab samples from quartz veins within gabbros returned values of 17.30 g/t (grams per tonne) gold, 22.72 g/t gold and 19.68 g/t gold.

The style of mineralization is similar to deposits in the Timmins camp that have collectively produced more than 60 million ounces of gold during the past century.

More than 90% of the Horwood Property is covered by overburden. Amador plans to continue exploration on strike of the gold and massive sulphide zones to identify areas where the gold and base metals may be concentrated into high-grade shoots or wide low-grade gold zones amenable to open-pit mining methods. Ground and airborne VTEM surveys will be used to help guide future drilling to test stratigraphy and structural and geological traps where gold and base metals deposits may occur.

Gold jumps above $970/oz as dollar weakens

Precious metal climbs to firmest level since late February

Jan Harvey

LONDON — Reuters, Friday, May. 29, 2009 06:42AM EDT

Gold on Friday rallied through $970 (U.S.) an ounce for the first time since February in Europe as traders bought the metal as a hedge against weakness in the U.S. dollar.

Rising oil prices, reports of a pick-up in Middle Eastern demand, and firm buying in India, the world's biggest gold consumer, during the wedding season are also supporting prices, analysts said.

Spot gold was bid at $972.60 an ounce at 0923 GMT, against $958.80 an ounce late in New York on Thursday.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(May 26, 2009) - Amador Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AGX) (the 'Company') is pleased to report the results of a recent drill program which tested various VTEM conductors as well as a gold zone discovered in 2008. The 2008 drill program intersected significant gold values below the historic Cominco Zone, which contains a non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 130,000 tons grading 0.68% Ni and 0.73% Cu. The Cominco Zone is located approximately 1.5 km northwest of the Hollinger Zone which contains a non-compliant 43-101 resource of 422,000 tons grading 0.71% Ni and 0.42% Cu.(i)

The copper-nickel results from drilling a number of VTEM conductors were announced in a press release dated May 21, 2009.

Four previous drill holes were extended into the projected gold zone horizon as well as five holes drilled during the spring 2009 program. All holes intersected anomalous gold values ranging from 0.1 g/t to 3.87 g/t over various widths from less than a meter to several meters of core length. Results include 3.81 g/t gold over 0.2m in hole LL09-13W, 3.87 g/t gold over 0.4 m in drill hole LL09-04 and 400 m southeast 3.74 g/t gold over 0.5m in drill hole LL08-23

The established continuity of the gold mineralization as well as the high-grade results in 2008 drill hole LL08-13 and prospecting successes confirm the presence of a larger gold system with the potential for higher-grade zones. The anomalous values cover a large area with gold mineralization south of the Cominco zone to showings about 400 m southeast all within the granodiorite. This gold mineralization occurs over an area of approximately 500 meters in length in silicified zones adjacent to narrow fractures and quartz veining with arsenopyrite and pyrite.

2008 Loveland drilling gold values from LL08-13 include:

- 6.37 g/t Au over 8.55 m

- 6.17 g/t Au over 3.0 m

- 10.39 g/t Au over 3.1 m

2008 prospecting Samples taken 400m southeast of Cominco Zone:

- 8.98 g/t Au

- 11.48 g/t Au

2008 Copper-nickel drill highlights:

- 0.70% Ni/0.75% Cu over 45 m

- 0.40% Ni/0.55% Cu over 35.5 m

- 0.53% Ni/0.88% Cu over 22.80 m

"These latest results early in our exploration program combined with the recent drilling success of nickel-copper targets only add to the overall potential of the Loveland Project." states Company president and CEO, Richard Hughes. "We are extremely encouraged by the continuity of the system and are currently analyzing past drill results to further develop our understanding of the gold zone."

On May 21, 2009 the Company announced results on its drilling of VTEM conductor clusters similar to those found above the Cominco Zone and Hollinger Zones.(i) Conductor B had an intercept of 1.02% combined Ni/Cu over 5.4 meters and Conductor C returned anomalous nickel and copper values. Both clusters require follow-up drilling and remain open downdip and on strike. There are 33 VTEM targets within a 7 km range of the Cominco Zone of which 3 have been tested to date.

Further analysis is currently underway to study the areas with potential gold mineralization and examine the numerous VTEM anomalies for new drilling targets.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 21, 2009) - Amador Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AGX) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce a new Ni-Cu discovery on its wholly owned Loveland property approximately 35 kilometers northwest of Timmins, Ontario. Drill hole LL09-07 intersected 1.02% combined Ni-Cu over 5.4 meters drilled width from 36.90 to 42.30 meters. This includes a section which assayed 2.12% combined Ni-Cu over 1.5 meters from 36.90 to 38.40 meters drilled width.

Only 3 of the current 33 VTEM conductors have been tested in this drill program; A, B and C on the attached map.

Link to map: http://www.amadorgoldcorp.com/i/pdf/...

The discovery drill hole, which tested the weakest of four VTEM anomalies in cluster B, was collared on a north-south trending array of VTEM conductors, and represents a new nickel-copper discovery in the Loveland Township. The remaining 3 anomalies are on strike and yet to be tested. No drill testing has been done on strike or downdip of this new intercept.

The intercept occurred approximately 30 meters vertically below surface and approximately 400 meters north of the Cominco Zone and 2 km north of the Hollinger Zone.(i) Mineralization is similar to the Cominco Zone consisting of interstitial chalcopyrite-pyhrrhotite-pentlandite hosted within gabbros.

"This new discovery affirms our strategy of drill testing VTEM conductors similar to those above the historic Cominco and Hollinger Zones. We are excited by these latest results as they confirm the potential for additional new nickel-copper zones on the property. We are currently in the planning stage of a follow-up drilling program to further test this new zone as well as other VTEM conductor targets." comments Company president, Richard Hughes.

Exploration activity and drilling to date has focused on 3 objectives; expanding the historic Cominco Zone, testing the gold zone discovered beneath the Cominco Zone for continuity at depth and along strike, and exploring newly defined airborne VTEM targets for nickel-copper and gold potential. More results are currently being reviewed and are forthcoming.

Past copper-nickel results from Cominco Zone drilling include:

- 0.70% Ni/0.75% Cu over 45 m
- 0.40% Ni/0.55% Cu over 35.5 m
- 0.53% Ni/0.88% Cu over 22.80 m

Previous gold results include:
- 6.37 g/t Au over 8.55 m
- 6.17 g/t Au over 3.0 m
- 10.39 g/t Au over 3.1 m

Drill hole LL09-06 tested Conductor C also encountered anomalous nickel copper mineralization close to surface. Drill hole LL09-05 tested Conductor A but returned no significant values. Similar clusters of VTEM conductors also occur on the Cominco and Hollinger showings. The Company plans to continue drill testing on Conductors B and C as well as the remaining clusters of VTEM conductors.

(i)The Cominco Zone contains a historic non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 130,000 tons grading 0.68% Ni and 0.73% Cu and the Hollinger Zone contains a historic non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 422,000 tons grading 0.71% Ni and 0.42% Cu. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify these historical estimates as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources and the historical estimates should not be relied upon.

The new gold showings were found about 2 km northwest of the previously discovered Bend and Gabbro Zones during the recent prospecting and sampling program. Grab samples from quartz veins within gabbros returned values of 17.30 g/t (grams per tonne) gold, 22.72 g/t gold and 19.68 g/t gold. The style of mineralization is similar to known deposits in the Timmins gold camp, which have collectively produced more than 60 million ounces of gold during the past century.

Management is encouraged by these discoveries additional to the Bend and Gabbro Zones found in late 2006. The highlight of previous testing of these zones was a 2008 drill-hole from the Bend Zone that returned 12.35 g/t gold over 2.4 meters. A 2007 trenching and sampling program returned 28.1 g/t gold over 0.5 meter from this target. Previous trenching results from the Gabbro Zone were: 13.03 g/t gold over 0.5 meters; 5.69 g/t gold over 4.0 meters; and 7.8 g/t gold over 1.5 meters. The 2007 trenching program focused on these zones revealed that gold occurs as high-grade and low-grade disseminated mineralization over large areas.

"These new results are extremely encouraging as they confirm the potential for widespread gold mineralization within the Horwood Peninsula," quotes John Keating, V.P. of Exploration for Amador Gold Corp.

More than 90% of the property is covered by overburden. The Company plans to continue exploration on strike of the gold and massive sulphide zones to identify areas where the gold may be concentrated into high-grade shoots or wide low-grade zones amenable to open pit mining (as occurs in the Timmins Camp).

VTEM airborne geophysics combined with surficial prospecting suggests that structures influencing gold mineralization may be traced for more than 6 km along strike on the Horwood Property. The considerable width of the anomalous gold zones combined with their strike potential makes the Horwood Project a favourable new gold exploration play close to the world-class Timmins Mining Camp.

The VTEM anomalies and excellent geology combined with ground geophysical surveys also indicate areas favourable for massive sulphide deposits. Ground and airborne VTEM surveys will be used to help guide drilling to test stratigraphy and structural and geological traps where gold and base metals deposits may occur.

The Maskooch Lake Property comprises a geological environment prospective for hosting volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and precious metal mineralization. The project is accessible by well-maintained logging roads and lies 12 km southeast of the past-producing South Bay Mine, a copper-zinc-silver massive sulphide deposit that produced 1.6 million tons of ore averaging 1.8% copper, 11.06% zinc and 2.12 oz. silver per ton.

In October of 2008, field work and sampling was conducted at the 4,242-hectare property by Dr. George Hudak, Associate Professor of Geology, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and an established researcher of Pre-Cambrian VMS deposits. Results from this work have recently been received.

Dr. Hudak evaluated the Maskooch Gold Showing, a 9-to-10-meter wide shear zone associated with chlorite and ankerite that historically produced assays up to 16 g/t (grams per tonne) gold. Preliminary mapping suggests that the shear zone can be followed for several kilometres across the property. The main targets for follow-up exploration are areas where the shear zone intersects with iron formations on the property as iron formations may provide chemical traps for gold mineralization.

Preliminary rock chemistry studies by Dr. Hudak have revealed chemical trends consistent with alkali depletion and/or silicification consistent with alteration associated with ancient hydrothermal systems related to VMS (copper-zinc-lead) mineralization. The felsic volcanic rocks present on the Maskooch Property are similar to those associated with gold-rich VMS mineralization in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of north-eastern Ontario and north-western Quebec, as well as those hosting the Scuddles VMS deposit (10.5 million tonnes) in Australia.

The field work conducted in 2008 has enhanced the Company's understanding of the gold and base metal potential. The information collected from this work along with proposed follow-up mapping and sampling will be used to select the best VTEM anomalies and other targets for trenching and drill-testing during 2009. (VTEM surveys are capable of detecting anomalies under thicker overburden and at greater depths than conventional geophysical surveys.)

Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, May 15, 2009 /FSC/ - Amador Gold Corp. (AGX - TSX Venture, ADRGF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), (the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has completed the Spring 2009 drilling program on its wholly owned Loveland Project located 35 km northwest of Timmins, Ontario, and adjacent to Xstrata's Montcalm Mine.

The Spring 2009 drill program tested several airborne VTEM targets as well as followed up on the new 2008 gold discovery below the existing Cominco Zone. The data collected from this drill program will be used to advance 33 additional drill targets identified to date.

Management is encouraged by the success of using VTEM data in conjunction with information collected through ground geophysics to pinpoint drill targets and potential new zones. The Cominco and Hollinger zones have been identified on the VTEM survey and support the interpretation of other anomalies. Recent drilling tested 3 of the 33 current targets, for which final results are pending.

In 2008 the Company reported significant nickel-copper intersections discovered below the existing Cominco Zone including:

* 0.70% Ni/0.75% Cu over 45.0 m*
* 0.40% Ni/0.55% Cu over 35.5 m*
* 0.53% Ni/0.88% Cu over 22.8 m*

In addition, several gold intersections were discovered below the nickel-copper zone including:

* 6.37 g/t Au over 8.5 m*
* 6.17 g/t Au over 3.0 m*
* 10.39 g/t Au over 3.1 m*

*All of the above intersections represent drilled widths

The Cominco Zone contains a historic non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 130,000 tons grading 0.68% Ni and 0.73% Cu. Approximately 1.5 km southeast of the Cominco Zone is the Hollinger Zone, which contains a historic non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 422,000 tons grading 0.71% Ni and 0.42% Cu. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify these historical estimates as current mineral resources.

Acquisition of the Jessop property was based on the known geology of the Timmins camp, the location and proximity of past and current producing gold mines, as well as the lack of previous exploration. The property was acquired to test the hypotheses that geological features associated with gold mineralization in the Timmins camp could conceivably be present on the Jessop property, which lacks any outcrop.

The primary target on the property is a quartz feldspar porphyry rock unit. This type of unit is known to act as an “engine” to circulate gold-bearing fluids.

Previous geologists have discussed the possibility of a second splay off of the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone (‘DPFZ’) in the Timmins area, known as the North Mines Trend. This interpreted splay is north of the DPFZ and splits off the DPFZ just east of the Hoyle Pond and Pamour mines. The northern splay may be interpreted to extend westward through the Jessop property, where it would intersect the Montreal River Fault.

Reinforcing the conceptual model is the presence of gold in tills along the southern boundary of the Jessop property. Tills are a type of overburden deposited by glaciers. The till is a mixture of clay, silt, sand, gravel, boulders and other material collected by glaciers as they advanced over the ground. The composition of the till reflects the type of ground the glacier has passed over. Multiple tills are common, documenting changes in glacier movement, and can include material incorporated from earlier till.

In 1986, Pamour Gold Mines systematically sampled the till along the southern boundary of the present-day Jessop property and found gold values as high as 58 grams per tonne. The direction of the relevant ice movement has been postulated as northwest to southeast inferring that the gold could have come from rocks on the Jessop property.

A state of the art VTEM airborne survey was carried out over the property in two orthogonal directions. This survey was carried out based upon the theory that a structural corridor running northwest/southeast intersects the North Mines Trend in Jessop Township. In addition to the VTEM survey, a historical compilation of the area has been conducted which has resulted in the selection of target areas to focus upon.

“We are now reviewing recent VTEM data along with historical work to assess the property’s mineral potential as well as the possible extension and intersection of the North Mines Trend. Summer exploration plans include ground geophysics to define future drill targets,” comments John Keating, V.P. of Exploration for Amador Gold Corp.

April 24 (Bloomberg) -- China boosted its gold reserves by 76 percent since 2003 and has the world’s fifth-biggest holding by country, said Hu Xiaolian, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

The nation increased its reserves by 454 tons to 1,054 tons through domestic purchases and refining scrap metal, Hu said in an interview with the Xinhua News Agency today. The amount is more than Switzerland’s 1,040 tons, World Gold Council data show, and is worth $31 billion at current prices.

China has the world’s largest foreign exchange reserves at $1.95 trillion as of March 31, according to state administration data. The holdings have climbed about sixfold in the past six years as the country had record trade surpluses and inflows of foreign investment. Gold prices have almost tripled to more than $900 an ounce from $337.

“Chinese foreign-exchange reserves have absolutely exploded in the past few years,” said Jan Lambregts, head of Asia research at Rabobank International in Hong Kong. “We shouldn’t be surprised that they’re adding a lot of all asset classes. I don’t think they’re shifting away from U.S. dollars into gold.”

Gold climbed to a record $1,032.70 an ounce on March 17 last year and traded 0.9 percent higher today at $912.08 an ounce at 3:18 p.m. local time in Singapore.

Debt Holdings

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has expressed concern the dollar will weaken, eroding the value of China’s holdings of Treasuries, as the U.S. borrows unprecedented amounts to spend its way out of recession. China is the biggest overseas owner of U.S. government debt, holding notes totaling $744 billion at the end of February, according to U.S. data.

Jesse Wang, executive vice president of China Investment Corp., has said the nation’s $200 billion sovereign wealth fund may invest in “undervalued” commodities. Zhang Guobao, head of the National Energy Administration, said China should invest more in commodities instead of hoarding the dollar, Xinhua reported on March 7.

China, the world’s biggest gold producer, has increased its holdings before, Hu said in the interview carried on the administration Web Site. They rose from 394 tons to 500 tons in 2001 and to 600 tons in 2003, it said. China has told the International Monetary Fund of the recent changes and the new amount will be reflected in the central bank’s balance sheet and statistical reports, it said.

‘Support Prices’

“This shows a change in attitude in Asian central banks,” said Si Kannan, associate vice president at Mumbai-based Kotak Commodity Services Ltd. “While the IMF is selling gold, Asian central banks are diversifying into gold. That’s a good thing, in times of dollar uncertainty and the global volatility in the forex market,” he said by phone from Mumbai today.

China’s gradual increase in gold reserves and increasing jewelry demand from China and India “will support gold prices,” Kannan said.

The IMF said April 3 there had been no talks about selling more gold than the 403.3 tons proposed a year ago. Leaders from the Group of 20 said the day before that revenue from previously proposed gold sales would be used to help the world’s poorest countries. The IMF board approved a proposal in April 2008 to sell 403.3 tons of bullion as part of a plan to close the Washington-based lender’s annual deficit.

“My opinion has always been that China should increase its gold holdings,” Hou Huimin, vice chairman of the China Gold Association, said by phone from Beijing today. “China should strive to play a more proactive role in the global financial market by adding more gold.”

The U.S. has the world’s biggest gold holdings at 8,134 tons, followed by Germany with 3,413 tons, World Gold Council data show. France has 2,487 tons and Italy 2,452 tons, while the IMF has 3,217 tons, according to the council.

The Company also wishes to announce its continuation with a private placement previously announced on March 2, 2009 for up to 5,000,000 units. The financing consists of units priced at $0.06. Each of the units consists of one flow through common share and one non-flow through, non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of two years at a price of $0.06 per share in the first year and $0.10 per share in the second year.

In accordance with Exchange policies, finders' fees may be paid on the funds raised. The private placement is subject to regulatory approval.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used for exploration on the Company’s Ontario properties.

China’s State Reserve Bureau may raise purchases to 1 million metric tons from 600,000 tons, analysts led by Luo Wei wrote today in a note. The purchases “would easily turn a global surplus of between 350,000 tons and 400,000 tons this year” into a deficit, they wrote.

In an effort to keep you up to date on all pertinent information regarding the resource sector and more specifically gold bullion, please see the attached industry bulletin titled, “Hedge fund investors turn to gold in bet against central banks.”

Investors such as Mr Einhorn are turning to gold because they are worried about the response of the US Federal Reserve and other central banks to the economic crisis. A bet on gold is a bet against paper currencies.

"The size of the Fed's balance sheet is exploding and the currency is being debased. Our guess is that if the chairman of the Fed is determined to debase the currency, he will succeed," Mr Einhorn wrote to investors.

Initial exploration and drilling at the wholly owned Loveland Property has focused on the under-explored historic nickel-copper zones. The Cominco Zone contains a non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 130,000 tons grading 0.68% nickel and 0.73% copper, while the Hollinger Zone contains a non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 422,000 tons of 0.71% nickel and 0.42% copper.

During the 2008 drill program, new gold mineralization was discovered within a 30-meter section of silicified granodiorite with quartz stringers, and 5% to 8% disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite. Table 1 shows the mineralized intercepts returned by Discovery Hole LL-08-13.

The gold mineralization intersected by Hole LL-08-13 was discovered approximately 300 meters below surface. In late 2008, surface prospecting yielded a second gold discovery approximately 400 meters southeast of the Discovery Hole mineralization. Two separate grab samples retrieved from outcrops of granodiorite returned values of 8.98 g/t Au and 11.48 g/t Au respectively.

Ongoing drilling is designed to determine whether the newly discovered gold occurrence is the same zone encountered in earlier drilling or part of a multiple vein system. The program is also designed to determine the orientation and extent of the gold mineralization.

In addition to testing the new gold discoveries, Amador will further test the Cominco and Hollinger Zones at depth and along strike. A recent drill hole, LL-08-22, intersected 1.41% copper and 0.98% nickel over a drilled width of 4.0 meters from 488.0 to 492.0 meters. This intersection occurred at about 400 metres vertically below surface and is the deepest intersection to date at Loveland. The results from Hole LL08-22 also indicate that grades may improve at depth as the combined copper-nickel grades of 2.39% are higher than the previously seen average of approximately 1.41% combined copper-nickel.

Amador has completed an airborne VTEM geophysical survey over part of the Loveland Property, including the Cominco Zone and Hollinger zones. The airborne magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) surveys identified both zones, which are located about 1.5 km apart, as well as numerous new targets that appear to be on strike with the Cominco and Hollinger zones.

Management is very encouraged by the new gold discoveries, the newly generated geophysical targets and the potential to expand and upgrade historic resources within the known nickel-copper zones. The large Loveland Property also covers favorable geology that is yet to be explored for its potential to host new gold and nickel-copper targets.

The road-accessible Loveland project is located 35 km from Timmins, one of the largest gold camps in the world with total recorded production of 68.03 million ounces of gold since 1910. Timmins is also a base metal camp and host to the huge Kidd Creek volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit (135.6 million tonnes milled grading 2.31% copper, 6.18% zinc, 0.22% lead and 87.3 grams per tonne silver) located 25 km east of Loveland. The Montcalm nickel-copper deposit presently being mined by Xstrata is situated 35 km west of the Loveland Project.
