Amador Gold Corporation is pleased to announce assay results from the first twelve drill holes from 2008 on the Loveland Ni/Cu Project located approximately 35 kilometers northwest of Timmins Ontario. Assay results for drill holes LL08-13 to LL08-28 are still pending.

The Company is pleased to report that drill hole LL08-05 intersected 0.88% Cu and 0.53% Ni over a drilled width of 22.80 meters (160.30 to 183.10 meters) including 1.0% Cu and 0.65% Ni over a drilled width of 11.20 meters (160.30 to 171.50 meters) and 1.92% Cu and 1.0% Ni over 2.70 meters (180.40 to 183.10 meters). This drill hole was collared 50 meters northeast on section of earlier drill hole AMDG07-01 which had intersected 0.55% Cu and 0.40% Ni over 35.50 meters, and 50m northwest of AMDG07-03 that intersected 0.75% Cu and 0.70% Ni over 45 meters.

From the drilling to date, it appears that mineralization has been intersected 400 meters vertically below surface, is open at depth and has a strike extent of approximately 175 meters. The style of mineralization comprises disseminated to semi-massive patchy and interstitial pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-pentlandite within gabbros extending to surface. Management is extremely encouraged with the early drilling results on the Cominco Zone and its similarity in style of mineralization to Xstrata’s Montcalm Mine located twenty kilometers to the west.

Future drilling will focus on expanding the Cominco zone, and test below the Hollinger Zone that is located approximately 1.5 kilometers on strike to the southeast. The Hollinger zone is reported to possess a non 43-101 compliant historical resource of 442,000 tons grading .42% Cu and .71% Ni. The Hollinger and Cominco zones are both open at depth with additional areas of untested potential on strike.

Additional targets for drill testing are also expected to be generated by the recently completed Geotech Ltd B-field VTEM airborne survey and ground geophysical induced polarization surveys.

Other drill hole highlights from recent drilling include LL08-11 intersecting 0.73% Cu and 0.59% Ni over a drilled width of 8.50 meters (137.00 to 145.50 meters) and 0.78% Cu and 0.85% Ni over a drilled width of 6.00 meters (166.0 to 172.00 meters). These intercepts occurred within a broad mineralized zone grading 0.38% Cu and 0.33% Ni over a drilled width of 37.60 meters (135.90 to 173.50 meters).

LL08-11 was collared approximately 40 meters southwest on section of drill hole AMDG07-01 and the intercept is interpreted as the up dip expression of the mineralized zone in drill hole AMDG07-01. In addition, drill hole LL08-18 also on section , was collared approximately 50 meters to the southwest of LL08-11 and encountered a strongly mineralized zone approximately 10 meters in drilled width up dip of the intersection in LL08-11 suggesting that mineralization extends to surface. Assays are pending for this drill hole.

LL08-01, collared approximately 50 meters southwest on section of AMDG-07-3 intersected 0.24% Cu and 0.26% Ni over a drilled width of 6.30 meters (67.90 to 74.20 meters) and is interpreted as the strike extent of the zone approximately 50 meters to the east.

Results for the Loveland drill program are tabulated below. All drill holes have been drilled at 225 degree azimuths with -50 degree dips.

A rigorous quality assurance program is employed which includes the insertion of standards and blanks for each batch of samples. Samples of the NQ size drill core are sawed in half, with one-half sent to a commercial laboratory, Expert Laboratory of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and the other half retained for future reference. Core samples are routinely analyzed for nickel, copper and cobalt by aqua regia digestion with atomic absorption techniques. Any analyses greater than 5,000 ppm are re-analyzed using total acid digestion and atomic absorption techniques.
