In the meantime, we have enclosed the text of the MIQ press release. Though drill results were not disappointing, it is clear MIQ management is disappointed in the Kinross drilling effort for 1999 (refer to comments below). As you all know from the company's last press release, Kinross attempted to renegotiate terms of the joint venture agreement given the investment climate surrounding gold markets - and Mirandor was willing to make reasonable adjustments to the original schedule in order to accomodate its partner.
However, once Mirandor indicated it would not accept what it viewed as unreasonable terms, Kinross immediately ceased drilling operations that were already limited in scope and size throughout the 1999 campaign.
In the meantime, investors are in receipt of the company's last statement, as well as, management Q&A pertaining to the current state of the company. Given the company's healthy financial position and strong fundamentals at Railroad, the company is confident a new partner will be found in the near future.
Regards, AGORA Internet Relations Corp.
agoracom.com ------------------------------------------------ EXPLORATION MIRANDOR INC. PRESS RELEASE December 2, 1999 Exploration Mirandor Inc. (MIQ-ME), announces that it has received the final report concerning the 1999 exploration program on the Railroad project in the Carlin Trend of Nevada.
Only 22 reverse circulation drill holes and one core hole were completed by Kinross in 1999. As well, only 910 soil and rock samples were collected for geochem exploration work as compared to 3,449 in 1998.
According to Kinross, the project was reduced in scope due to unfavorable gold economics. Results from the program are as follows:

The drilling results demonstrate the continuity of gold mineralization and alteration at the Elliot High Ranch area, and low grade mineralization in the BMF area (Bald Mountain Fault). However at BMF, the indicated depth to possible mineralization is greater then 1,000 feet, generally deeper than drilling to date.
At the LT area, only one core hole was carried out to a depth of 925 feet. A second hole was abandoned at a depth of 88 feet and not re-attempted. More holes were planned here, but the program was discontinued due to the unfavorable gold price.
The 1999 program was disappointing in that less then half of the planned field season was completed. Kinross had indicated to Mirandor that it wished to substantially reduce its exploration commitment to the Railroad project, citing "unfavorable gold economics". Mirandor was willing to make certain adjustments but not to the extent requested. Exploration Mirandor is now reviewing the results and planning a new exploration program.
The Railroad project, consisting of some 55 square miles, is centered on the southern end of the Carlin Trend, and lies at the intersection of the NW-SE Carlin Trend and the N-S Piñon anticline structure. It is located within a Carlin erosional "window" exposing at surface favorable lower plate sedimentary rocks.
