Thursday July 8, 8:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release MAXAM GOLD CORPORATION Announces Update On Announced Funding MAXAM Funding Update EAST PEORIA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 8, 1999-- Maxam Gold Corporation (OTC BB:MXAM - news) on May 12, 1999 announced that it was entering into a $30 million funding agreement, with closing and initial draw of $10 million scheduled for July 1, 1999. The funding is secured with the open-pit mineable resource of 6,000,000 Troy ounces Gold Equivalent on the four Peoria Seven claims, plus 50 million common shares of Maxam Gold Corporation. At the final contract meeting, it was determined that the funding source had not met two of Maxam's required conditions. As a result, Maxam has agreed to grant a 45-day extension for the source to meet these conditions. Failure to meet these conditions will result in the security being released from the trust account, making it available for other sources of funding presently under consideration.
