Amador Gold Corp.: Amador Gold Corp. Announces Proposed Drilling Plans on Three Timmins Gold Projects
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 25, 2009) - Amador Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AGX) (the "Company") is pleased to announce proposed drilling plans on four of its Ontario properties. Three of the properties are gold and gold/base metal projects located in the Timmins area and one is a VMS project in north western Ontario.
"The Company has focused on advancing a number of its projects to the drilling stage and we are happy to announce proposed drilling plans for four of these properties," comments Company President, Richard Hughes. "We have spent the last year compiling data from numerous airborne surveys, geochemistry, VLF surveys, prospecting, mapping and sampling programs and have identified numerous targets on each property. The Horwood Gold property, for example, has numerous high-grade gold showings on surface across an approximate four square kilometres. Given other companies' recent successes drilling gold targets at depth along the Destor-Porcupine fault, proposed drilling at Horwood will focus on testing the possibility of a deep-seated gold system."
The proposed budgets for each program are as follows:
Horwood Gold Project: $300,000
Kamiskotia Gold Project: $200,000
Loveland Gold/Copper/Nickel Project: $300,000
Maskooch VMS Project: $300,000
Information for the each specific program will be made available in the near future.
