Amador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AGX) is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling on the Fripp Property, 30 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario. The property has similar ultramafic geology to the Langmuir nickel discovery made by Golden Chalice Resources Inc. about 30 km to the east. The same Geotech VTEM airborne system that was used to discover the Langmuir nickel discovery has been flown over the Fripp Property. The survey has identified more than 15 prime target areas for testing by trenching or drilling. These areas often have multiple strong coincidental electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies. This road accessible property is mostly covered by glacial till and overburden. However, occurrences of nickel have been located near or on strike with some of the VTEM anomalies. Drilling continues to test nickel-copper mineralization discovered beneath the Cominco zone last year on Amador’s Loveland Property. New maps showing the drill target area and other targets are available on the

company web site, www.amadorgoldcorp.com.
