      AMADOR GOLD CORP. ANNOUNCES DRILL PLANS ON HIGH GRADE GOLD TARGET
      IN WEST TIMMINS GOLD DISTRICT
=======================================================================

.. 1991 DRILLING BY FALCONBRIDGE INTERSECTED 82.2 G/T GOLD OVER 1.5
METERS INCLUDING 306.0 G/T OVER 0.4 METERS APPROXIMATELY 125 METERS
VERTICALLY BELOW SURFACE

.. PROJECT LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 5 KM NORTH OF LAKE SHORE GOLD'S WEST
TIMMINS PROJECT

VANCOUVER, BC - Amador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: AGX) (the "Company") is
pleased to provide an update on its drill plans for its Kamiskotia Gold
property.  The property lies approximately 5km north of Lake Shore
Gold's West Timmins Project.  This area has been host to a number of
base metal deposits including the Kam-Kotia, Jameland, Canadian
Jamieson, and the Genex Mines.  Historic exploration in the area has
primarily focused on the base metal potential with limited gold
exploration.

In 1991, Falconbridge Exploration, while testing the base metal
potential in the area, drilled a series of north-south trending
conductors.  The first drill hole intersected 82.2 g/t Au over 1.5
meters, including 306.0 g/t Au over 0.4 meters in what was described as
a "grey zone" within mafic volcanics.  These grey zones are important
gold mineralization host rocks at the Hoyle Pond Mine approximately 20
kilometers northeast of Timmins. 

Follow-up drilling by Moneta Porcupine Mines in 1993 drilled along
strike and up dip of the gold intercept intersected the favorable
horizon.  Recent compilation work done by the Company suggests en
echelon gold-bearing quartz carbonate veins hosted within this grey
zone may cross cut stratigraphy.

Structural and compilation work is underway to obtain a better
understanding of the area and determine the continuity of the gold
values obtained in the 1991 drill program.  The Company's drill program
will test for continuity beneath and down plunge of the original gold
zone.
