Vancouver, BC, Canada –October 31, 2012 – Miranda Gold Corp. (“Miranda”) (TSX-V: MAD)is pleased to announce that Ramelius Resources Ltd. (“Ramelius”) (ASX:RMS), our funding partner at Angel Wing, completed its 2012 Phase III three-hole drill program and all analyses are complete. Phase III totaled 3,055 ft (930.6 m) of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling. All three of the holes intersected gold at grades above 0.01 oz Au/ton (0.343 g Au/t) with the highest 5 ft (1.5 m) intercept being 0.309 oz Au/ton (10.6 g Au/t) in hole AW12-12. This intercept is 250 ft (76 m) north of the 0.413 oz Au/ton (14.15 g Au/t) encountered in Phase II hole AW12-06. Angel Wing is an epithermal vein and sediment-hosted gold project in northeast Elko County, Nevada.
During 2012, Ramelius drilled seven holes, including all the Phase III holes, in the south and southwest portions of a donut-shaped magnetic anomaly approximately 1,200 ft (400 m) in diameter. Ramelius refers to this anomaly as Grass Hollow. Tertiary rhyolites crop out in the vicinity of the magnetic anomaly. The rhyolites are underlain successively by Tertiary conglomerate and Triassic limestone. The limestone is moderately to strongly decalcified and silicified for approximately 200 ft (61 m) beneath the conglomerate. The principal gold intercepts are in this altered limestone. All seven holes penetrated deep enough to intersect the altered limestone and gold mineralization and all seven intersect gold grades above 0.01 oz Au/ton (0.343 g Au/t) .
The Phase III holes were drilled by Boart Longyear Company with a track-mounted drill. ALS Global performed all analyses. Significant gold or silver intersections are defined as those with gold grades of 0.01 oz Au/ton (0.343 g Au/t) or higher over intercepts of 5 ft (1.5 m) or longer, or silver grades of 0.30 oz Ag/ton (10.29 g Ag/t) or higher.
