MG Gold Announces Marble Quarry Funding PHOENIX (Sept. 2) BUSINESS WIRE -Sept. 2, 1998--MG Gold Corp. (OTC BB:MGAU) Wednesday announced that private funding has been obtained for the company to begin mining the marble quarry. This is a Joint Venture between MG Quarries L.L.C. (a wholly owned subsidiary of MG Gold Corp.), and Arizona Pink Marble L.L.C. (Details of the Joint Venture were in a press release dated May 19, 1998) By securing private funding for the operation, management believes it has been successful at protecting shareholder value. The funds from the loan will be fully repaid from MG Quarries profits. Management believes this to be a significant turning point in the history of the company. It is the first time MG Gold has not relied on private placement financing to develop resources. MG Quarries will be able to provide MG Gold Corp. with a continuous, positive income stream for many years. Contract negotiations are completed with a site manager, marketing manager and quarry assistants. Initially, most equipment will be leased with an option to purchase. Currently, the company has "letters of intent to purchase" over 100,000 tons of the marble landscape material. These are primarily from Phoenix companies who service the decorative landscape business. Other landscape companies from the Las Vegas area as well as other southwestern cities, have expressed a marketing interest in the decorative gravel as well as the marble boulders. MG Gold Corp. is a diversified, environmentally responsible natural resource company. Its mission is to continue building a natural-resource company by acquiring, developing and operating resource assets, converting them to significant cash-flow generators and thus enhancing shareholder value.
