NEW HIGH GRADE GOLD DISCOVERY AT
SILVERADO’S NOLAN GOLD PROPERTY

SEPTEMBER 25, 2006 - Fairbanks, Alaska – USA - Vancouver, BC – Canada
SILVERADO - OTCBB: SLGLF / Frankfurt: SLGL / Berlin: SLGL

Recent drilling on a portion of the Slisco Bench, located on the Hammond River portion (Fig. 1 – shown here: http://www.silverado.com/slisco-fig1.htm ) of the Nolan Property has disclosed very high grade placer gold results. A total of 39 drillholes were completed at Slisco Bench during this summers’ exploration program. These holes were drilled with a Schramm “all terrain” reverse circulation drill rig. All holes penetrated bedrock for a total of 4,782 feet drilled with sample intervals ranging from 5 to 10 feet in length. The entire sample was processed through an on-site Denver Gold saver to produce a mineral concentrate (sulfides, heavy rock particles +/- gold). This concentrate was bagged, labeled, and transported to our onsite lab for panning and assay turn around. All gold particles and nuggets observed were weighed.

Drill results confirm the presence of gold in areas of previous drilling and have identified a channel containing placer gold that extends for a length of over 1,800 feet (Fig. 2 – shown here: http://www.silverado.com/slisco-fig2.htm ). The channel remains open to the southeast and there is evidence of one or more tributary channels that remain to be explored next season. Within the Slisco Channel, the placer gold occurs on bedrock and on a second horizon about 20 feet above the bedrock channel. Paylayer thicknesses range from 5 to 10 feet. To date, 20 out of 39 drillholes have been processed and analyzed for placer gold. Out of these 20, 11 drillholes show visible gold with values ranging from 0.009 to 0.495 TOz/cyd. Table 1 presents results of 0.01 troy ounces or better per bank (in place) cubic yard.

Table. 1: 2006 Slisco Bench drill results to date of 0.01 troy ounces or better per bank ( in place ) cubic yard to date.

Gold analysis for the remaining drillholes are in progress and results will be released as soon they become available.

The higher placer gold values in both paylayers are located within the left limit of the Slisco Channel. In addition to the encouraging drill results to date, the potential of extending the channel to the southeast plus the possibility of discovering gold bearing tributary channels, make this an exciting prospect for additional discoveries next year.

As the weather now permits us to work on our Nolan area of our property, we will continue our busy 2006 exploration program with the focus on the northward and southward extension of the Mary’s East prospect and our newly acquired placer properties. A first phase lode gold drilling program on Solomon’s Shear (Fig. 1) is also planned for this year, and we are expecting exciting news from both our placer and lode gold drilling programs.
