Byers-Loveland Project Expands

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - April 1, 2008) - Amador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AGX) ("Amador") is pleased to announce that it has staked additional ground to the west of the recent copper nickel discovery on the Byers Loveland Project, just 35 km northwest of Timmins, Ontario. This large parcel of land secures for Amador any mineral potential between the Byers Loveland property and Xstrata's Montcalm operating mine, 30 km to the west.

At Byers-Loveland, Amador will be drilling to increase strike length of its copper-nickel discovery, as well as drilling beneath the Hollinger mineralization on the newly acquired Moneta Porcupine property 1.5 km to the southeast. The Hollinger deposit was drilled prior to 1975 and is reported to be 442,000 tons of 0.42% copper and 0.71% nickel. This is a historical resource that is non 43-101 compliant.

The Company's recently announced aggressive development program will try to duplicate its success at Byers Loveland, where mineralization was discovered below the former successful drilling of Cominco. Drilling beneath the Hollinger-Moneta mineralization will determine if mineralization continues at depth as it has below the Cominco mineralization.
