For Those Who Doubt #### Last Weeks News #### Read this over and over again until it sinks in. The heck with those ticks up/down. Read part of the press release below, and don't forget there is more to follow. --------BEGIN--------- Mountain Energy owns and controls the mineral rights in West Virginia that contain approximately 1.98 billion cubic feet of gas and 10,000,000 tons of coal, as well as other properties that all combined, have an estimated fair market value in excess of $200,000,000 with approximately 70,000,000 shares outstanding after the acquisition. This translates to approximately $2.85 per share. The paperwork will be filed immediately to change the corporate name to Mountain Energy, Inc Mountain currently owns 30 separate properties in West Virginia with approximately 1,300 acres owned in fee and an additional 1,300 acres of mineral rights. Reserve estimates by the U.S. Geological Survey (''U.S.G.S.'') indicate in excess 10,000,000 tons bituminous coal. This low sulfur, low ash content, high BTU, clean burning currently sells for $25-$28 per ton. With cost of mining and transportation estimated at $11-$15 per ton, this will show a $10 per ton conservative net profit, (representing maximum cost to mine and minimum selling price), providing net asset value in excess of $100,000,000, with a potential of $170,000,000. The U.S.G.S. estimates also indicate in excess of 2 billion cubic feet of coal methane gas. This gas currently sells in excess of $3.00/MCF 1000 cubic feet. In most cases this gas is subject to an alternate fuel tax credit in excess of $3 MCF, for an estimated value of $5/MCF valued at $10,000,000. A separate reserve study has been commissioned by Independent Reservoir and Mining Engineers to arrive at a realistic present net asset value. History indicates that U.S.G.S. estimates usually represent 25 percent to 40 percent of actual minerals in place. The Company continues to acquire additional acreage in the area. --------END--------- Also keep in mind that if this stocks estimated share price of $2.85 was on par with the rest of the market it would be roughly $5.
