COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT of Medinah Mining Inc./ Medinah Gold, Inc.
June 4, 1999
I am taking this opportunity to inform all shareholders of Medinah Mining, Inc. of the details of recent developments regarding the creation of Medinah Gold, Inc. and the implications thereof.
Medinah Mining, Inc. has been streamlined in order to benefit to the fullest, all of its shareholders on an equal basis. Medinah Mining, Inc. sold to Medinah Gold, Inc. at historical costs, all of its assets except for Alto de Lipangue and Las Dos Marias, the two new Chilean discovery properties. The primary purpose is to avoid the possibility that, in the event of a takeover of Medinah Mining, these assets would be absorbed along with Lipangue and Dos Marias without giving an additional benefit to the shareholders.
Medinah Gold, Inc has issued 11,694,033 restricted shares to Medinah Mining, Inc. for the properties. These shares have been distributed pro rata as a dividend to Medinah Mining, Inc. equity holders.
Medinah Gold, Inc. is now owned entirely by the shareholders of Medinah Mining, Inc. and will be operated by a Board of Directors appointed by its shareholders. Dividend shares have been sent to all registered shareholders of Medinah Mining, Inc. and all other individuals who, via their brokerage houses, qualify for the dividend May 7, 1999. There are expected to be some delays, originating from the share depositories, in sorting out who are the qualified brokerage house recipients of the dividend. Early indications suggest that more dividend shares are being requested than are legally available.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Medinah Gold, Inc. will be called and current Management will accept nominations for a new Board of Directors. In the interim, the Directors of Medinah Gold, Inc. are Larry Regis, President; Les Price, Vice President; and Gary Goodin, Treasurer, Advance notice will be given to all registered shareholders. Our attorney, Michael Morrison, is proceeding to file the required documents to register Medinah Gold, Inc. as a public company.
It is intended that Medinah Gold, Inc. not only be owned by the shareholders but also be directed and run by them. Nominations for the positions of Directors, Secretary-Treasurer, Vice President, and President, must be for only those individuals who qualify to hold office. For example, in the United States, individuals who have criminal records, are convicted of securities fraud, or any other legal restriction that applies, may not hold such an office.
There has been some difficulty in understanding these corporate developments and I hope this letter explains to your satisfaction both the details of the dividend and the benefit that we have delivered to you, our shareholders. The Board of Directors is proud to be able to present to you this new company that has been developed from common effort. All of you have been a part of bringing into existence a new and important discovery in Chile and at the same time, bringing forth a new company with a wealth of potential in the assets that it holds. What a good start to another exciting series of projects!
I would like to remind all of you that, should you have any questions about Medinah Mining’s projects in Chile, Medinah Gold and the dividend or if you just want to talk to us on any corporate subject, our doors are always open and you are welcome. Our Website has all of the projects, including independent confirmations of the new discoveries. Mr. Russell Godwin will post shortly the new Gordon House report on Phase 1 Drill Program at Alto de Lipangue – it’s great reading. Earl Hope, Russell Godwin and myself, Larry Regis, are available to take your calls. Obviously, I may not be able to talk to all of you, but Earl and Russell are well informed and available every day.
Remember that at the AGM of Medinah Energy, Inc. in Reno, many of you thought our projects might be "too good to be true"? Remember that, to a person, you were all provided with documentary evidence, contracts, reports, financial statements and professional opinions from qualified engineers and geologists? Remember how skepticism became excitement about the real possibilities of our properties? Remember how we looked forward with great anticipation to the work programs? Remember? Well friends, through our drilling program, you and I have seen a possibility become a reality. Now, just like at the AGM, all of the documentary evidence is at your fingertips.

It is my sincere recommendation that you register your shares with the transfer agent. For those who hold their shares in "street form" at a brokerage firm, your accounts may be designated as having the Medinah Gold Shares contained therein even though the certificate has not landed at that firm. Please insist upon delivery of your physical Medinah Gold Certificates.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, Medinah Mining, Inc., Medinah Gold, Inc.
