VANCOUVER, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Silverado Gold Mines Ltd (Trading Symbols, OTC BB - SLGLF, FRANKFURT - SLGL, BERLIN - SLGL) : - Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. announced today that exploration work on its Nolan Creek property has identified a new zone with anomalous Gold mineralization. This zone, called the Fortress, exposes several outcropping northwest-striking quartz veins, some of which contain significant gold mineralization. A gold bearing quartz vein in the northern part of the Fortress Formation that contained 0.24 troy ounces gold per ton was discovered during work conducted by Dr. Karsten Eden in 2000.

Map 2 (http://www.silverado.com/pressroom/pdf/FortressFigure2.pdf).
Silverado geologists conducted further investigations of the Fortress area in late summer 2007, and collected several quartz vein samples, and subsequently confirmed the presence of anomalous gold concentrations.
Based on these very encouraging results, the company conducted a VLF-EM ground geophysical survey along with a ground geochemical soil survey over the central part of the Fortress area. The VLF-EM survey revealed two east-west trending fault zones that are overlain by strong arsenic and gold in soil anomalies, which are over 1,500 ft in length. Arsenic is a strong indicator for the presence of gold mineralization.
The company believes that the formation of the northwest striking gold-bearing quartz veins was controlled by east-west trending deformation zones, as evidenced in other areas of the southern Brooks Range. Placer (nugget) Gold from the Thompson Pup Mine in 1994, located just below the east-west trending faults, is reported to be very crystalline and angular in shape which suggests a nearby source. Further technical surveys and drilling in the 2008 summer season could well identify the source as the area mentioned above.
Silverado Gold Mines also announced today the VLF-EM ground geophysical survey, coincident with the ground geochemical soil survey conducted in the Fortress area, confirmed the presence of the gold-bearing antimony quartz vein system on the Saddle, as part of the Solomon Shear trend, in the southern part of the Fortress area. The VLF-EM survey revealed two northeast trending deformation zones of which the southern deformation zone is overlain by strong antimony and arsenic in soil anomalies. This 2007 work expanded the work of Dr. Eden which was performed in the year 2000, and which disclosed a northeast striking gold-bearing antimony quartz vein in the antimony anomalous zone that contained 28.09% antimony.
Silverado Gold Mines is most encouraged with its discoveries made this summer in the Fortress area. The two different striking gold-bearing vein systems that occur in the Fortress area, along with defined structural trends overlain by gold, antimony and arsenic anomalies, make the Fortress area an exciting lode gold exploration target. This is in addition to the Nolan Creek lode gold targets.
This is the second of two strategic Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. announcements.
Fortress Exploration Follows Nov 19/07 Announcement Regarding
Nolan Creek's Workman's Bench Discovery
On November 19, 2007 Silverado Gold Mines announced that it had received its Permit from the Bureau of Land Management, including all prerequisite permitting, to carry out underground exploration. The company intends to commence exploration immediately on Workman's Bench, the second of two large areas of significant lode discovery on its Nolan Creek Property. (http://www.silverado.com/pressroom/pressreleases/191107.htm).
In order to carry out a year round exploration program, Silverado is purchasing a customized, state of the art front end loader, valued at approximately $1 million. The loader meets all U.S. government specifications for underground mining, and is considered key for worker safety and effective exploration. This highly specialized equipment will allow Silverado to continue its program to be an independent and self-sufficient mining exploration company, and will add to Silverado's diamond drilling and rolling stock inventory of equipment, maintenance and repairs facilities, and on-site gold processing and operations buildings.
Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. 2007 Exploration Program at Nolan Creek was, and will continue to be supervised by Dr. Karsten Eden, the company's Vice President Exploration, and a qualified person under NI 43-101 regulations and requirements.
