All is well except the increased number of outstanding shares.

VANCOUVER, BC -- Amador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AGX) has completed an extensive evaluation of its property portfolio and is taking steps to conserve cash and focus its working capital on key projects in 2009. The Company held 30 properties in established or emerging mineral districts of Ontario, however ten were relinquished in response to current market conditions: Armstrong Lake, Connor Creek, Gogama Moly, Gould Copper Mine; Hunter Gold; Meggisi Lake Moly, Meteor Lake, Owl Lake, Patent, Revell and Willett.

Amador has also renegotiated agreements related to nine of 19 properties with outstanding payments, including the East Breccia agreement, and plans to renegotiate similar terms for other projects wherever possible. The reduced payments, financial commitments and number of projects will better position the company to focus on its core projects, specifically the Loveland Gold Project and weather a period of weak equity markets.

Chairman and CEO Richard Hughes said Amador will continue to explore its flagship projects in 2009. In 2008, the Company encountered exceptional success at the road-accessible Loveland Project, situated just 35 km from the world-class Timmins mining camp. Ongoing work programs are focused on further exploring two nickel-copper zones with historic resources along strike and at depth, and defining several newly discovered gold targets.

Subject to regulatory approval, the Company plans to lower the price of options that expire from Feb. 2011 through April 2013 (currently priced between $0.12 and $0.22) to $0.10.

Amador Gold also announces it has granted 3,350,000 stock options to directors and officers of the Company and 4,250,000 stock options to employees and consultants at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of five years.
