American Sierra Gold Corp.

(OTCBB: AMNP) announces that it has acquired 6 mining claims in the Adams Plateau Area of southern British Columbia, Canada. The Company has also abandoned the Urique Project in Mexico and the Discovery Day Gold Project in California so it can focus on other projects.

This district is noted for high precious metal content VMS deposits (volcanogenic massive sulfide). The Company is also seeking other areas for mineral exploration.
