Golden Eagle Raises Equity Funding
Company Director Demonstrates Faith in Bolivia
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH—(Market Cap)---July 7, 2005---Golden Eagle
International, Inc. (MYNG, OTCBB) announced today that it has raised $100,000 from
four accredited investors in equity funding through the sale of 10 million shares of its
common restricted stock.
The proceeds will be used to meet several critical operational needs in Bolivia and
in the U.S. The Company intends to allocate some of the funds to support finalizing its
environmental permit on its Buen Futuro project in eastern Bolivia’s Precambrian Shield.
Additionally, it will pay important payments under its acquisition contract for the Buen
Futuro mining concession and other operational expenses.
“A company affiliated with our newest director, H. Roy Shipes, invested $30,000
in our restricted common stock, and three other current, accredited shareholders were
inspired by his confidence in the company and put in the balance,” stated Terry C.
Turner, Golden Eagle’s CEO. “These investments underscore Roy’s confidence in
Golden Eagle.”
Golden Eagle also announced that Mr. Shipes, who is also the CEO of Atlas
Precious Metals, Inc., on June 28 signed a joint-venture contract on Atlas’ behalf with
COMIBOL, Bolivia’s national mining company, for the rehabilitation and operation of
the Karachipampa lead and silver smelter in western Bolivia. In the contract, Atlas
committed to invest $85 million for the addition of a zinc refinery with an annual
capacity of 80,000 fine tonnes. It is planned that the Karachipampa smelter will employ
650 workers and inject new life into this economically depressed region of Bolivia.
Golden Eagle was not involved in this transaction.
“Atlas maintains a strong faith in Bolivia as an excellent venue for mining and
mineral processing operations,” stated Mr. Shipes. “I joined Golden Eagle’s board for the
same reason—to demonstrate that faith by making every effort to get the Buen Futuro
project funded and to bring it on-line in the shortest time possible. Then the goal will be
to grow the project into the kind of gold and copper operation that Golden Eagle’s
shareholders have a right to expect. With record copper prices, and gold holding at very
high levels, we are more enthusiastic about Buen Futuro than ever.”
The Company also announced that Max Staheli has resigned as a director. Mr.
Staheli stated that with the appointment of H. Roy Shipes, “the board is in capable hands
to lead this company forward and improve its fortunes.” Mr. Staheli also indicated that he
resigned because of the liability exposure of directors in public companies; because there
is no current benefit to serving as a director; and due to his lack of influence on the
management of the Company.
