IRW-PRESS: Miranda Gold Corp: Miranda Gold Corp. Shareholder Letter: North To ...

Here is the second pictorial-newsletter titled "North to Alaska." I just returned from a trip to Alaska where I visited Miranda's Ester Dome project which is being managed and operated by our funding partner, Agnico-Eagle (USA), Inc. ("Agnico"). Visiting Alaska and its mining camps is very nostalgic for me as I lived in Anchorage for three years and spent four summers in the Alaskan bush from 1978 to 1981. The first three years I worked at camps on the Seward Peninsula, exploring for massive sulfide deposits and uranium. The final year I was involved in exploration around Fairbanks and Livengood where we sought the source of the rich placer gold deposits that each of these historic gold camps produced.

Some 30 years later, International Tower Hill Ltd. appears to have discovered the source of the 0.5 million ounce placer at Livengood with their Money Knob discovery (+13 million ounces). Over the last 40 years the Livengood district has been actively explored by Homestake Mining, Occidental Petroleum, Amax, Placer Dome and Cambior. It just goes to show that persistence pays off and that it is usually not the first company in an area that makes the discovery. Congratulations to my friend Jeff Pontius and to International Tower Hill.

Indeed, it is an exciting time to be exploring in Alaska. The Tintina mineral belt runs through Fairbanks and Livengood as well as portions of the Yukon. The White Gold District in the Yukon is undergoing a modern-day gold rush. Companies such as Kaminak, Underworld Resources and ATAC have made recent discoveries in the Yukon. On the Alaskan side of this belt, Sumitomo is mining the rich Pogo deposit and exploring Stone Boy while Kinross is mining at Fort Knox. Miranda is pleased to be able to offer our shareholders the chance for a discovery in this newly emerging gold trend.

Now back to Ester Dome. The Fairbanks Mining District, which encompasses about 300 square miles, is reported to have had historical placer gold production of over 8 million ounces. Significant placer production, both by large dredges and modern excavators and washing plant operations, has come from Ester Creek and Goldstream Creek which border Miranda's property to the south and north, respectively. Additional placer deposits are found on Nugget and Sheep Creeks which lie internal to Miranda's holdings.
