AZ-MG-NATURAL-RESOURCES)(MGAU) MG Natural Resources Reports Refinery
Results

PHOENIX, Dec 16, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Test Results Announced

MG Natural Resources Corp.(MG) (OTC BB: MGAU), announced that earlier
this week, it received a response from prior analytical tests conducted
by a major foreign refiner of gold and platinum group metals.

These are the results from this refiners' analysis of the MG Stage IV
material that was processed by the company and submitted to the refiner
in July 1999:

Silver: 1,463 troy ounces per ton of Stage IV concentrate
Gold: 55 troy ounces per ton of Stage IV concentrate

Since Stage IV material is concentrated 33.6 to 1 from the head
(mined) ore, calculating back to the unprocessed ore as it comes from
the ground, this equates to the following:

Silver: 43.5 troy ounces per head ore ton
Gold: 1.6 troy ounces per head ore ton

The refiner detected trace amounts of platinum and palladium in the
sample. The refiner has asked MG for information regarding the
quantities of Stage IV material that MG can provide. The refiner has
invited the company to negotiate terms under which the refiner would
purchase the concentrate from MG.

MG has made substantial improvements in concentrate processing since
the Stage IV submission last July, including the conversion of the
refractory platinum group metals into a detectable and extractable
form. The company has initiated negotiations with this refiner and
intends to offer the improved Stage IV precious metals concentrates as
part of these discussions.

Previous Results

The company has previously sent samples of Stage II, (single-process)
and Stage IV, (two-processes and concentrated) gold and platinum group
metals from the first test run of the prototype production plant to
four other refiners, (two U.S. and two foreign). The two domestic
refiners have responded.

The first domestic refiner found amounts of gold and platinum group
metals ranging from a high of 4.5 troy ounces per ton gold to a low of
1.5 troy ounces per ton of platinum along with 730 troy ounces per ton
of silver in a Stage IV concentrate sample.

The results were well below assays of the same material that MG has
received from other laboratories and well below the 5 percent minimum
precious metals content this refiner requires to make an offer to
purchase. A second domestic refiner could not detect precious metals in
a single-process Stage II sample. The company is discontinuing
submissions of Stage II material.

The company is pleased with the progress it has made toward the
commercial development of the MG gold and platinum group metals
extraction processes.

Much of the work that the company has done, must remain confidential to
protect the MG intellectual property from other companies that are
attempting to accomplish the same task with refractory ores. For this
reason, the company has purposely not reported descriptions of the
processes and instead has relied upon reporting analytic results
received from outside laboratories.

Finance

The company is currently evaluating several offers from investors to
purchase restricted stock in the Company for a private placement.
