| Oct 23, 2007 Drilling Commences on Miranda Gold's Redhill Project Miranda Gold Corp. ("Miranda") (TSX-V: MAD) is pleased to announce that its joint venture earn-in partner Barrick Gold Exploration Inc. ("Barrick") has commenced reverse-circulation drilling at the Red Hill project, located in the Cortez Trend, Eureka County, Nevada. The drill program will consist of approximately 10,000 ft of drilling (~3,000m) and expenditures of approximately US$500,000 and, as outlined in a news release dated July 16, 2007, it will focus on step-out drilling and testing a new target area. In 2006 drilling by Barrick intersected mineralization hosted in lower-plate carbonate rocks in hole BRH-013. Those drill results are shown in the following table: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hole Interval Length Grade Length Grade Number (ft) (ft) (oz Au/t) (m) (g Au/t) ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- BRH-013 1920-2000 80 0.146 24.4 5.015 ---------------------------------------------------------------- includes 1920-1965 45 0.238 13.7 8.153 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mineralization in BRH-013 is associated with high levels of arsenic, antimony, mercury and thallium and the presence of altered igneous dikes. These features indicate that a Carlin-style gold system is present at Red Hill. The step-out drilling to BHR-013 will test the margins of a west northwest-striking CSAMT geophysical resistor, a feature that focused the placement of BRH-013. In addition, a recently completed gravity survey has identified a northeast-trending embayment that suggests possible crosscutting faults intersecting that CSAMT resistor. Two of the five planned holes will test these geophysical features while off-setting BRH-013. The remaining three drill holes will test a pediment-covered target on the east side of the property. This target comprises the extension of strong decalcification, silicification and antimony mineralization that is exposed in an east-west striking fault zone known as the Long Fault. Gravity data has identified a structural feature in the sub-surface that is being targeted with this drilling. Barrick's drilling at Red Hill is part of a larger program near BRH-013 that includes drilling on third-party lands adjoining to the west. The data disclosed in this press release have been reviewed and verified by Company Senior Geologist Steven Koehler, P. Geo., BSc. Geology and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
