Meridian Gold Inc. (�Meridian Gold� or the �Company�) (TSX: MNG) (NYSE: MDG) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Minera Meridian Minerales, S. DE R.L. de C.V., is pleased to provide new drill results, consistent with the previous encouraging results from its 100%-owned Mercedes Project in Sonora, Mexico, located near Magdalena. In addition, the Company has prepared long-sections for 3 of the 9 identified veins, which can be downloaded from the Company�s website at www.meridiangold.com. During the 2006 drill program, a total of 8,817.5 meters in 75 holes (63 reverse circulation �RC� and 12 �Core�) were completed in an area of approximately 20,000 hectares. The exploration drilling was focused on defining limits of the Corona de Oro shoot on the Mercedes Vein, as well as testing low sulfidation epithermal vein targets at Klondike, Rey de Oro and La Lupita. Some highlights from the recent drill results include: Shallow RC holes drilled in the Corona de Oro area continue to provide very encouraging results, highlighted by RC holes M06-070 (2.03 meters @ 19.0 grams per tonne Au and 288 grams per tonne Ag) and M06-072 (3.05 meters @ 6.49 grams per tonne Au and 76.0 grams per tonne Ag). Within the Mercedes vein, mineralization is open at depth and to the southeast, where previous wide-spaced drilling has outlined a 750-meter long zone that carries greater than 3.0 grams per tonne AuEq mineralization over a vertical range varying between 50 and 150 meters. RC drilling near the Klondike Mine both confirmed and extended the zone of mineralization with the best intercept located in hole K06-015, intersecting 2.03 meters at 25.17 grams per tonne Au and 23.0 grams per tonne Ag. Reverse circulation drilling in the historic Rey de Oro Mine area was successful in intersecting wide (6.0 to 35.0 meter) zones of vein/stockwork/breccia-hosted mineralization typically grading between 1.0 and 2.0 grams per tonne AuEq. The mineralization is located in a dip-slope configuration that may be amenable to open pit extraction. The best drill results were received from hole R06-08, which intersected 17.27 meters at 5.78 grams per tonne Au and 17.6 grams per tonne Ag.

The table containing all of the drill results from the Mercedes property may be obtained from the Company�s website (www.meridiangold.com under Exploration, Mexico). In addition, long-sections for the Klondike, Mercedes and Ray de Oro vein systems, and a plan map of the La Lupita drill holes have also been provided on the website. A 20,000-meter drill program is planned for 2007 and a contract has been signed for the drilling to commence in February. The first objective of the drilling will be to complete infill drilling and step-out holes to define the limits of the Corona de Oro shoot. Aggressive exploration will continue to test targets along the 3.5 km-long exposed strike of the Mercedes Vein zone, as well as along the highly prospective northwest extension corridor. Additional drilling will also be conducted in the Klondike, Rey de Oro and La Lupita vein zones to define the extent of gold-silver mineralization within the epithermal vein systems.
