Miranda Gold Corp. ("Miranda") (TSX VENTURE:MAD)(OTCBB:MRDDF)(FRANKFURT:... is pleased to report 2007 drill results and 2008 exploration plans for the Red Hill project in Eureka County, Nevada. In late 2007 Barrick Gold Exploration Inc. ("Barrick"), Miranda's exploration funding partner, completed 11,765 ft (3,587 m) of reverse-circulation drilling in six vertical holes expending a total of US$389,000.

Two of the six holes (BRH-016 and BRH-021) were completed offsetting BRH-013, which in 2006 intercepted 45 ft 0.237 oz Au/t from 1,920 to 1,965 ft (13.7 m of 8.105 g Au/t from 585 to 599 m). Two drill holes (BRH-017 and BRH-017A) ended prematurely in limestone voids before testing their intended targets and the final two holes (BRH-023 and BRH-024) tested gravity gradients and projected splays of the Long fault at the east side of the property. Drill results are summarized below and are based on a 0.010 oz Au/t (0.343 g Au/t) cutoff with "no significant assays" reported as anything less than 0.010 oz Au/t.

BRH-016 was drilled 650 ft (200 m) north of BRH-013. The hole intersected two vertically-extensive zones of hydrothermal alteration in lower-plate limestone: a) variably decalcified, oxidized and carbon-bearing Devils Gate limestone from 1,360 to 1,785 ft (414 to 544 m) and b) carbon-clay altered Denay limestone with igneous dikes from 2,115 to 2,265 ft (645 to 690 m). Significant gold was not intersected.

BRH-021 was drilled 720 ft (220 m) northwest of BRH-013, along strike of a prominent geophysical resistivity anomaly that guided the placement of BRH-013. The hole intersected two intervals of variably decalcified, silicified and weakly oxidized lower-plate limestone at 1,100 to 1,470 ft (335 to 448 m) and 1,810 to 2,135 ft (551 to 651 m). Sulfidized igneous dikes, similar to those intersected in the BRH-013 gold-bearing interval, were intersected from 1,810 to 1,860 ft (552 to 567 m). Fault-controlled gold mineralization (10 ft of 0.081 oz Au/t; 3.1m of 2.776 g Au/t), hosted in decalcified and clay altered Denay limestone, a characteristic of Carlin-type systems, was intersected from 2,125 to 2,135 ft (648 to 651 m).

On the east side of the property two drill holes (BRH-023 and BRH-024) tested pediment-covered targets outboard from a series of historic antimony prospects. The holes were located based on three criteria: 1) prospect pits along the rangefront exposing strong decalcification, silicification, antimony mineralization and anomalous gold mineralization in lower-plate limestone; 2) gravity data that identified structural features beneath shallow pediment cover, and 3) projected splays of the Long fault. Both holes intersected similar geology: a thin veneer of alluvium, upper plate siliciclastic rocks and a fault that removed the targeted limestone. Anomalous gold was restricted to 5 to 10 ft (1.5 to 3.1 m) zones.

All drill samples were collected with a reverse circulation drill using 5 ft (1.5 m) sample intervals. Samples were assayed by SGS Minerals Services of Toronto, Ontario Canada. Gold results were determined using standard fire assay techniques on 30-g samples with an atomic absorption finish. Barrick's QA/QC included the insertion of numerous standards and blanks. QA/QC protocols included secure sample storage, handling and shipping, and the use of sample standards and repeat analysis. The delivery of drill assays to Miranda by Barrick was delayed due to the QC on standards inserted into the sample stream by Barrick. To resolve the QC issues, select drill sample intervals and standards were re-assayed. Re-assays provided acceptable results for the standards and a higher-level of confidence on the drill-hole sample results.

Barrick intends to drill two holes at Red Hill in 2008. Miranda is pleased that Barrick is committed to aggressively exploring the Cortez Trend, which includes Miranda's Red Hill project. The program is designed to better understand the gold system that was discovered in 2006 in hole BRH-013 and will continue to evaluate the associated geophysical anomaly. The anomaly coincides with a west-northwest to north-south striking bedrock high, a gravity gradient low, and a swarm of igneous dikes. From BRH-013, the proposed holes are approximately 1,000 ft (305 m) to the southeast and 2,450 ft (750 m) to the west. Drilling, envisioned for the summer of 2008, is subject to BLM permit approval and the availability of a qualified drill contractor.
