Miranda Acquires Minagrande in Colombia

Miranda Gold Corp. ('Miranda') (TSX-V: MAD) announces
the purchase of the Minagrande Project in the Antioquia department,
Colombia. Minagrande project covers approximately 4,630 hectares and is
located approximately 146 km northeast of Medellin and 10 km south of
the Gramalote deposit. It lies within the Antioquia Batholith and within
lineaments that extend south from the Gramalote area. Gramalote is an
intrusion related gold deposit that is reported to contain a total of
2,535,493 measured and indicated ounces at a grade of 0.81g Au/t that
currently is being explored by AngloGold Ashanti and B2Gold Corp.

The Minagrande project was targeted by Miranda for acquisition using
lineament analysis of DEM (Digital Elevation Model) and TM (Thematic
Mapper) inferred faults combined with ASTER (Airborne Space Thermal
Emission Reflectance) alteration analysis. A coarse filter screen of
ASTER alteration products showed that the Gramalote and Minagrande areas
both contain supergene alunite which is probably an indirect indicator
of system-related alteration. A finer filter screen of
Aster-image-detected alteration showed probable hypogene illite that
appeared to have a distribution that correlated to a northwest
structure. Illite is stable clay in most significant gold systems. The
northwest structure can also be seen in TM images. Reconnaissance
prospecting showed anomalous gold mineralization in a granite-hosted
northwest-trending fault zone with high-density fracturing and shear
textures. This is the first targeted area funded for acquisition by the
strategic alliance with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. Additional work will
determine whether this project meets the criteria of a Designated
Property (see Press Release February 19, 2013).

Project Details

At Minagrande gold mineralization is hosted in granitic rocks of the
Antioquia Batholith, with phases of medium grained granodiorite to
tonalite and with local basalt dikes. Mineralization is associated with
a northwest trending fault zone approximately 4 km long. The width of
the fault zone can′t be determined at the surface. Only two samples were
taken from the fault zone and they returned assays of 0.951 and 0.820 g
Au/t. Additional sampling has been conducted and assays are pending.
Bismuth occurs erratically with gold on the property.

There are other silicified shear zones and clay altered shear zones with
anomalous gold that warrant further prospecting.

Minagrande may provide a target analogue for either a Gramalote style
(oxidized intrusion-related fracture and vein swarms) or a San Ramon
style deposit (mesothermal gold hosted by a shear/fault zone).

Early exploration work will include trenching and trench sampling to
determine the width of the surface mineralization within the fault zone.
A soil grid oriented to cross the strike of the 4 km fault zone will be
conducted to indicate additional trenching targets and ultimately
drilling.

Agreement Details

The agreement for Minagrande requires staged payments of US92,000.
Miranda has already made the canon payment (government fees) and
the application has been accepted by, and is pending registration with,
the national mining registry. Upon completion of the payments, Miranda
will own 100% of Minagrande with no other obligations.

Data disclosed in this press release, have been reviewed and verified by
Vice President of Exploration Joseph Hebert, C.P.G., B.Sc. Geology and
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
