Miranda Gold Corp. (“Miranda”) (TSX-V: MAD) is pleased to
announce that Ramelius Resources Ltd. (“Ramelius”) (ASX:RMS),
Miranda's funding partner at Angel Wing, completed its 2013 drill
program. Ramelius drilled five reverse circulation (RC) holes
totaling 4,050 ft (1,234.4 m) that further tested geophysical
targets beneath volcanic cover. The strongest gold intercept was in
hole AW13-05 with 45 ft of 0.076 oz Au/ton containing 5 ft of 0.210
oz Au/ton (13.7 m of 2.608 g Au/t containing 1.5 m of 7.2 g Au/t).
Angel Wing is an epithermal vein and sediment-hosted gold project
in northeast Elko County, Nevada.
During 2013, Ramelius drilled three holes in the vicinity of a
doughnut-shaped aeromagnetic anomaly approximately 1,200 ft (400 m)
in diameter at the Grass Hollow target, one hole into another
magnetic low approximately 2,500 ft (760 m) to the east-northeast
of Grass Hollow, and one hole into a north-trending resistivity
high about 1,200 ft (365 m) northeast of Grass Hollow. All holes
intersected gold at grades above 0.1 g Au/t and the two holes on
the west side of the Grass Hollow magnetic anomaly intersected gold
grades above 0.1 oz Au/ton (above 3.43 g Au/t). The gold is hosted
primarily in decalcified or silicified silty limestone near its
contact with overlying conglomerate.
The following table summarizes the six Grass Hollow holes with
the longest or strongest gold intercepts and includes the 2013
holes with gold grades above 0.01 oz Au/ton (above 0.343 g
Au/t).

3 4.76 Original data are in feet and ppm (g Au/t). True
thicknesses of the gold intercepts are estimated to be 90 per cent
of the down hole intersections.
Grass Hollow and vicinity are underlain by a downward succession
of Tertiary rhyolitic tuffs, Tertiary conglomerate, and Triassic
limestone. Principal gold mineralization is in the upper 200 ft
(61.0 m) of the limestone, where it is associated with
decalcification and pervasive silicification. Anomalous arsenic,
antimony, and mercury extend upward into the conglomerate and
tuffs.
To date, Ramelius has drill-tested nine target areas with a
total of 37 holes aggregating 22,046 ft (6,719.6 m).
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.
Project area stratigraphy from youngest to oldest is a) Tertiary
felsic volcanic units, b) Tertiary conglomerate, and c) Triassic
limestone. Work previous to that of Ramelius' consisted of geologic
mapping, soil and rock sampling, a gravity survey, and RC drilling.
Gold values from 0.1 to 94 g Au/t in rock chips occur in an area
about 6,700 ft (2,042 m) long and up to 3,000 ft (914 m) wide. Rock
samples of altered and quartz-calcite-veinlet stockworked limestone
and conglomerate contain up to 0.045 oz Au/ton (1.530 g Au/t). High
gold value rock-chip samples with 0.29 to 2.7 oz Au/ton (10 to 94 g
Au/t) occur in steeply dipping quartz-calcite-adularia veins with
distinctive "angel wing" textures within the limestone. Historic
shallow vertical drilling targeted disseminated mineralization and
returned up to 0.048 oz Au/ton over 50 ft (1.643 g Au/t over 15.2
m) in drill hole DC-7. Since 2010, Ramelius completed
IP/Resistivity, ground magnetic, and soil geochemical surveys,
three core holes, and 34 RC holes.
Agreement
On September 17, 2010, Miranda signed an agreement with Ramelius
whereby Ramelius could earn a 70% interest in Agnel Wing by
expending US$4,000,000 over five years (the “Initial Earn-in”).
Ramelius has met the US$2,000,000 expenditure requirement to
September 17, 2013. Ramelius has given notice that they will
withdraw from the agreement affective October 5, 2013. Miranda
intends to seek a new partner to conduct additional drilling at the
Grass Hollow target
