.. LOVELAND GOLD/COPPER/NICKEL PROPERTY -- ONLY THREE OF THIRTY-THREE
TARGETS DRILL TESTED TO DATE

VANCOUVER, BC - Amador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: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.

The Company would also like to announce it has arranged for a private
placement of up to 20,000,000 units for total proceeds of up to
$1,600,000.  The financing will consist of flow through units priced at
$0.08 per unit and non-flow through units priced at $0.06 per unit.
Each of the units will consist of one flow through or non-flow through
common share and one non-flow through, non-transferable share purchase
warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share
for four years at a price of $0.07 per share in the first year and
$0.20 per share for the remaining three years.  The Company may give
written notice that the Warrants will expire in 30 days if the
Company's shares trade at or above $0.40 for 10 consecutive trading
days.

In accordance with Exchange policies, finders' fees may be paid on the
funds raised.  The private placement is subject to regulatory approval.

The Company would also like to announce that, in connection with the
closing of the Company's private placement announced on July 2, 2009,
the Company paid a finder's fee to Bikramjit Singh Thakral of $15,984
representing 8% of the gross proceeds raised in Tranche 1 of the
private placement.
