Allied Nevada Drills Brimstone Oxide Zone At Hycroft

Intersects 510 Feet of 0.037 opt Au Equivalent

March 6, 2008 Reno, Nevada- Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (“Allied Nevada” or the “Company”) (AMEX & TSX: ANV)is pleased to announce complete gold and silver assay results for thirty (30) exploration holes, twenty-one (21) of which are reported here. The holes were drilled at the Company’s Hycroft Heap Leach Mine (“Hycroft”) located near Winnemucca, Nevada. As of March 1, 2008, one hundred forty-three (143) drill holes have been completed at Hycroft since the program was initiated in August of 2007, including 109 reverse circulation drill holes and 34 core holes for a total of 114,847 feet drilled. The holes were drilled to an average depth of approximately 800 feet. The five drill rigs (three reverse circulation rotary and two core rigs) operating at Hycroft were utilized from late January through February to delineate oxide resources at Brimstone in furtherance of the Company’s objective of confirming and expanding existing oxide reserves on its Hycroft property. As previously reported, the Company currently targets the fourth quarter of 2008 to commence gold production.

The 21 drill holes reported here and listed in the table below were drilled in the Fire and Brimstone Zones along or within the proposed Brimstone pit boundary. The holes are designed to fill in gaps in the ore block model as well as to better define the pit limits. All 21 drill holes, 13 in the Brimstone Zone and 8 in the Fire Zone, intersected gold-silver mineralization. 18 of the 21 holes intersected significant lengths of oxide and mixed oxide/sulfide gold-silver mineralization. A significant length in a drill hole is defined as a continuous intercept of 100 feet or more of gold-silver mineralization.

All 13 Brimstone Zone drill holes reported here intersected significant thicknesses of gold-silver mineralization. Drill hole H08R-3137 intersected 510 feet of 0.037 Au equivalent from 230 feet to 740 feet from the top of the oxide zone into the mixed oxide/sulfide zone. Drill hole H08R-3131 intersected 425 feet of 0.034 gold equivalent from 220 feet to 645 feet, including 45 feet of 0.083 opt Au, and drill hole H08R-3126 intersected 330 feet of 0.033 Au equivalent from 245 feet to 575 feet. The intercepts in both of these holes are also through oxide mineralization. All three of these holes are drilled south of the existing Brimstone pit (refer to the Company’s website at www.alliednevada.com). Drill hole H08R-3148 intersected 115 feet of 0.056 Au equivalent from 615 to 730 feet in the lower part of the oxide zone on the west side of the Brimstone area. Several of the Brimstone holes also intersected silver mineralization grading over 1 ounce per ton.

The eight holes reported here that were drilled in the Fire Zone, a north-south trending zone of mineralization 1,200 to 1,600 feet to the west of the Brimstone pit, were completed along approximately 1,000 feet of strike length. The planned Brimstone pit expansion incorporates the southern portion of the Fire Zone mineralization. Five of the eight Fire Zone holes intersected gold mineralization over significant widths, including drill hole H08R-3138, which drilled 215 feet of 0.033 Au equivalent from 225 to 440 feet in the oxide zone, and H08R-3135, which intersected 195 feet of 0.031 from 640 to 835 in the lower part of the oxide zone.

“The results of this round of drilling demonstrate the oxide potential on the Hycroft property. Oxide drilling in the Cut 5 area will begin later this month and additional oxide targets are being defined by ongoing geologic mapping and the review of historic drilling and production data” says Rick Russell, Allied Nevada’s Vice President of Exploration. “In the near-term, we plan to concentrate on defining additional oxide gold-silver resources and then resume our deeper sulfide program.”

Completed footage of the current Hycroft drilling program is currently averaging approximately 30,000 feet/month. The five drill rigs have nearly completed the Brimstone oxide programs. The rigs will next be deployed to complete oxide drilling in the Cut 5 area and to drill test other targets as they are developed. Geotechnical and condemnation drilling will also be completed in the near future. For complete drill hole assay information, please see assay data posted on the Company’s website at www.alliednevada.com. Gold equivalent grades were calculated utilizing a $650 per ounce gold price and a $12 per ounce silver price.

(1) The drill program is being conducted under the supervision of Mr. Rick Russell, Vice President of Exploration for Allied Nevada Gold Corp., who is a Qualified Person as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for program design and quality control of exploration undertaken by the Company at its Hycroft Mine. A combination of vertical and angle holes have been drilled to intersect mineralization; however, due to physical constraints and the complex nature of the deposit, true thickness of the drilled intervals cannot be assumed from the measured intercepts. Sampling and assaying methods of this program are being conducted in accordance with the CIM Mineral Exploration Best Practices Guidelines.
