MIRANDA GOLD IDENTIFIES NEW HIGH-GRADE VEIN
AT WILLOW CREEK, ALASKA
Vancouver, BC, Canada – October
15, 2014 - Miranda Gold Corp. ("Miranda") (TSX-V: MAD) is pleased to announce that a recently completed 234 sample
soil grid along with rock samples of quartz vein rubble, strongly suggest that the vein system mined on Bullion Mountain in the
Willow Creek District extends beyond a fault that bounded historic production. The gold in soil anomaly is 800 m long and open
but the highlights of the sample program are the discovery of three quartz vein sub-crops that assayed 1.48 oz, 0.50 oz and 0.53
oz Au/t (50.74 g, 17.05 g and 18.15 g Au/t). The adjoining Gold Bullion Mine had historic production of 77,000 ounces at 1.4 oz
Au/t (48.00 g Au/t). Miranda controls the majority of the Willow Creek mining district. Historical mines within the holdings include
the Lucky Shot, War Baby, Coleman, Nippon and Gold Bullion. The first three of these mines lie along Lucky Shot Ridge while the
Nippon and Gold Bullion mines lie 3 km to the east on Bullion Mountain.
The soil grid satisfied 2014 assessment
requirements and was designed to test the Bullion Mountain area for new vein segments. Miranda thinks that the Lucky Shot Ridge
and Bullion Mountain veins are fault offsets of the same zone of high-grade gold quartz veins and that the area where the soil
grid is located offers exploration potential for a new discovery. For perspective, the new 800 m long soil anomaly which remains
open compares favorably to the Lucky Shot vein that produced more than 350,000 ounces at greater than 1.2 oz Au/t (41.14 g Au/t)
along 1200 m of vein.
Veins in the Willow Creek District rarely
outcrop but can be detected by close-spaced soil sampling. The new soil results compare well with orientation soil sampling above
the upper Coleman segment of the Lucky Shot vein, where Miranda recently reported a NI43-101 compliant measured and indicated resource
of 62,100 troy ounces contained in 78,700 tonnes at an average grade of 24.6 g Au/t with another 4,100 troy ounces gold contained
in 5,300 tonnes at an average grade of 24.2 g Au/t reported as inferred (news release September 11, 2014).
The soil anomalies show discrete breaks
from background and are defined as having gold values of greater than 0.100 ppm to 2.00 ppm. The samples were taken on 20 m centers
on 200 m spaced lines. Three or more linear anomalies are reflected consistently on 5 successive lines of the grid; the anomalies
extend for 800 m and remain open. The three samples of quartz vein sub-crop within the anomalous gold in soil area have assay values
of 1.48 oz, 0.50 oz and 0.53 oz Au/t (50.74 g, 17.05 g, and 18.15 g Au/t) and indicate that the soil anomalies likely reflect new
high-grade vein segments in the district. All vein samples contained visible gold.
Miranda is encouraged by these exploration
results as they indicate new vein segments can be quickly identified and advanced to drill targets in the Willow Creek District.
Project Details
At Willow, gold is found in low-sulfide mesothermal
quartz veins within an east-west, shallow, north-dipping, shear zone. The Willow Creek project is held by Miranda under an 80-year
lease from Alaska Hardrock Inc. and lies approximately 166 km north of Anchorage. The project area is east of the town of Willow
and can be accessed by a well maintained gravel road. The project covers the majority of the historical Willow Creek mining district
and contains 75 patented lode mining claims and 62 State of Alaska lode mining claims for a total of approximately 8,700 acres
(3,520 hectares). Numerous historical mines occur on the property including the Lucky Shot, Coleman, War Baby, Nippon and Gold
Bullion Mines. Gold is commonly coarse and associated with banded tellurides and minor sulfide.
Historic production from land controlled by
Miranda is estimated at greater than 500,000 ounces at 1.2 oz Au/t (41.14 g Au/t), primarily from three closed-spaced mines developed
on the Lucky Shot vein. Miranda thinks that other high-grade mineralized shoots are likely to occur near other historic mines.
Gold Torrent Inc. has completed its due diligence
on the Willow Creek Project and is working with Miranda to finalize a Joint Venture Agreement. Once the Joint Venture Agreement
is signed Miranda anticipates that Gold Torrent will begin permitting, underground drilling, and other work needed to expand the
resource base and fast-track the Coleman into production. Based on the terms of the Joint Venture, Gold Torrent will fund the first
US$10 million in capital costs. Miranda will receive 10% of the distributable cash flow until Gold Torrent is repaid and then 30%
of the cash flow thereafter. (news release August 6, 2014).

be converted into reserves. In addition, "Inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence,
and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral
Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form
the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in certain exceptional cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume
that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally minable.

MIRANDA GOLD FILES TECHNICAL
REPORT FOR THE
WILLOW CREEK PROJECT,
ALASKA
Vancouver, BC, Canada – OCTOBER
23, 2014 - Miranda Gold Corp. ("Miranda") (TSX-V: MAD) has filed a NI 43-101 compliant technical report supporting the
independently estimated initial resource for the Coleman deposit within the Company’s Willow Creek project, Alaska as announced
on September 11, 2014.
As announced on September 11, 2014,
the highlights of the estimate are:
Measured and Indicated resource of 62,100 troy ounces gold contained in 78,700
tonnes at an average grade of 24.6 grams per tonne using a cutoff of 7.0 grams per tonne. An additional 4,100 troy ounces contained
in 5,300 tonnes at an average grade of 24.2 grams per tonne are reported using a cutoff of 7.0 grams per tonne in the Inferred
category
Resource estimate is for the upper Coleman deposit and is based on assays from
132 diamond core holes that were drilled from the surface between 2005-2009
The resource is up-dip of the historic Coleman workings within veins that vary
in thickness from 0.25 to 3.5m and average 0.83m
The resource is very compact with dimensions of approximately140m by 182m
There is good potential to increase the size of the deposit by exploring areas
down-dip, and both east and west along strike of the Coleman deposit
The resource occurs on patented claims with permits to be issued by the State
of Alaska
The Willow Creek project lies 60 kilometers north of Anchorage with direct access
by 166 kilometers of well-maintained roads
The report is titled “Technical
Report on the Willow Creek Project” prepared by Dave Linebarger of Linebarger Consulting LLC with an effective date of July
1, 2014.
