VANCOUVER, BC–( EMWNews – March 31, 2008) – Amador Gold Corp. (“Amador”) (TSX-V: AGX) is

pleased to announce that it is commencing an aggressive development program

on the new copper/nickel discovery just 35 kilometers northwest of Timmins,

Ontario. Encouraged by the drilling results on the Byers-Loveland

Property, announced March 13, 2008, management will actively drill this

property throughout 2008. The purpose of the Spring program will be to

expand the discovery intercept of 45.0 metres of 0.75% copper and 0.70 %

nickel. It is important to note that this new discovery is 50 meters

beneath a previous discovery made by Cominco in the 1970’s. Cominco drilled

a series of tightly spaced holes and outlined a resource of 130,000 tons

grading 0.68% Cu and 0.73% Ni. The estimate is pre 43-101 and

non-compliant. Amador’s new discovery has demonstrated that mineralization

continues below the Cominco mineralization, is open at depth and in two

directions. Grades and widths significantly improve at depth.
