VCAH NEWS : NEW YORK, Sept. 1 /CNW/ - Following several extended trips to Guyana and Venezuela in the past 60 days, involving meetings with certain buyer's representatives and separate meetings with senior officials of the respective governments, VenCap President and CEO Tony Lanham is involved in numerous negotiations on a wide range of business matters. The most essential are the conclusion of up to four timber sales contracts (one year / renewable) currently under discussion, with initial shipments (beginning in late October to early November) of up to 10,000 cubic meters (m/3) per month. In the event that all four sales contracts are concluded to the Company's satisfaction, it is possible that deliveries could increase to 20,000 to 25,000 m/3 per month. Negotiations are under way with a substantial European timber buyer, a major Asian timber buyer and timber importers in Texas and California. Although it is in no way guaranteed, the contracts could result in a minimum gross first year value of US$30-40 million to the Company. (See News Release dated May 24, 1999) On related issues, the Company is negotiating for timber harvesting rights to all or part of nearly 500,000 acres in central Guyana, which likely would be necessary to meet later order requirements. Further, the Company's research on in-country handling, port and shipping capabilities suggests the need for enhanced port storage and ship loading facilities over time. Negotiations are under way with relevant officials of the government, to provide for such expanded capabilities as buyer demand increases. -30- For further information: Daniel Ryan, Investor Relations, (905) 272-3284, (416) 447-4884, Cell: (416) 820-5565 If You do not use this service and would like to be removed from this list please send a reply with remove as the subject.
