Money Guild Inc. Announces Cooperative Republic of Guyana Timber
Cruise Results
NEW YORK, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Money Guild Inc. (the Company) has announced that it has received the results of the timber cruise conducted by
independent Forestry Engineers. The following is a detailed description and economic analysis of the asset.
DESCRIPTION OF ASSET:
The Company has signed a Letter of Intent dated December 1, 1998 with VEAMCO, C.A. to form a 50/50 joint venture. The asset of the joint venture would be
the woodcutting lease agreement #4193 for the exploration, harvesting and export rights on a 355,000-acre (143,775 hectares) virgin forestland located adjacent to
the Cuyuni River in the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. The lease agreement is currently held by VEAMCO who acquired it from their purchase of both Makapa
Woods, Ltd., a registered corporation of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and Maderas Botanamo, C.A., a registered Venezuelan Corporation.
The forestland covered under the woodcutting lease contains 85% hardwoods and 15% softwoods. Approximately 70% of the total tree population is considered
marketable (i.e., tree types already accepted and utilized in timber and milled lumber production).
It should be noted that the following figures are purposely expressed as conservative and refer to timber and lumber production by cubic meter or M3. (One cubic
meter equals 424 board feet of lumber).
The preliminary market evaluation, submitted in the VEAMCO Plan and Executive Summary, indicated a conservative net average value of $80 US/M3 post
harvesting. According to the independent Forestry Engineers report, an average of 35.77 M3 per hectare could be expected to be harvested from this concession.
The projected value of the exploitable timber on the initial 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) described in the report is approximately $28,000,000 US, net, post
harvest.
As the area demographics are essentially consistent throughout the concession, the projected overall value of the entire concession of 143,775 hectares (355,000
acres) is estimated to be approximately $400,000,000 US, net, post harvest.
Below is the Spanish to English Translation of Timber Cruise:

highly valuable in the market because of its good timber and working
conditions and its physical and mechanical properties adequate for
different uses in the market.
KINDS OF SPECIES TO EXPLOIT:
Those who appear in the species list to exploit according to the land lot
of research. According with the preliminary land lot study, there is an
average of One Hundred Thousand (100,000) trees in Ten Thousand Hectares
(10,000 Has).
The volume obtained for Ten Thousand Hectares (10,000 Has) is Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Cubic Meters (350,000 M3).
