Drill Moved Onto the Loveland Property & Spin Off Update

VANCOUVER, BC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/07/08 -- Amador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AGX) ("Amador") is pleased to announce that a drill is being moved this week onto the Loveland Property 35 km northwest of Timmins, Ontario where the Company intersected 45 meters of 0.75% copper and 0.70% nickel. Significantly, this intercept is below an outlined resource of 130,000 tons grading 0.68% copper and 0.73% nickel, discovered by Cominco in the 1970s. The estimate is pre 43-101 and non-compliant. The immediate drilling objective will be to increase the strike length of mineralization on the Discovery Zone. Additionally, the Company will be flying VTEM surveys and drilling to determine if the discovery zone is connected to the Hollinger deposit 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 an historical resource that is non 43-101 compliant.
