Newcrest has concluded their 2005 drill program of 26 reverse circulation holes (R48 through R74) for a total of 16,145ft (4921m). Of particular interest is an intercept in R-73 which assayed 1.945 ounces gold per ton over 5ft (66.6 grams gold per tonne over 1.52m) from 565 to 570ft (172.2 to 173.7m). Duplicate pulp samples and metallic screen assays substantiate the assays in R-73. Notably, this intercept includes thinly banded texture in a quartz vein and is significantly deeper than previous "bonanza-grades" drilled and reported by Newcrest in 2004. R-73 is within the main Redlich fault zone, as was R-45 (press release on December 7, 2004) which assayed 0.610 ounces gold per ton over 5ft (21.0 grams gold per tonne over 1.52m) from 280 to 285ft (85.3m to 86.9m). Miranda had speculated in its last Redlich release of September 1, 2005, that due to a shallow level of exposure, any boiling zone (conventionally associated with continuous bonanza grades) could occur deeper in the system and below the level of current drilling. Thus Miranda is encouraged by the banded vein texture and higher grades at depth in the latest drill program. Newcrest has not defined geometries or true thicknesses for the higher-grade intercepts it has drilled. Duplicate pulp samples and metallic screen assays substantiate the assays in R-73. Miranda continues to be encouraged by the aggressive drill campaigns Newcrest has conducted on Redlich and looks forward to another drill program in 2006. Significant intercepts (defined as any mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. better than 0.010 ounces gold per ton over 5ft) are presented in the following table:

Red Hill Miranda Gold has received assays for the one drill hole (PRH PRH Prolactin-Releasing Hormone (also seen as PRLH) PRH Personnalité et Relations Humaines (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) PRH Pacific Region Headquarters PRH People's Republic of Haven 0508) drilled in 2005 on the Red Hill property by its joint venture partner Placer Dome Placer Dome was a large mining company specializing in gold and other precious metals, with corporate headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Miranda and PDUS now agree that the drill hole most likely remains in upper plate rocks to its final depth of 940ft, and not lower plate rocks as was previously reported. Drill hole PRH0508 was designed to test a gravel covered horst margin inferred from a CSAMT CSAMT Controlled-Source Audio-Magnetotelluric Technique survey. PDUS is evaluating Miranda's Red Hill project in conjunction with a larger program it is conducting on its own surrounding claims. PDUS has permitted additional drill holes on the Red Hill project although no additional drilling is planned for 2005. Miranda Gold and PDUS have renegotiated the initial earn-in period of the joint venture agreement. Under the new terms See suggestions for new terms. , PDUS has five rather than four years to earn a 60% interest in the property. The total payment and exploration amounts remain the same, so the payment and exploration schedules have been adjusted. Miranda Gold received a $25,000 payment from PDUS on October 28 as part of the earn-in obligation.
