Goanna Resources Not Proceeding with Online Gaming VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- After extensive due diligence and consultations with legal counsel, the Board of Directors of Goanna Resources Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GOAN - news), has voted unanimously to withdraw its application at this time for an Internet gambling casino license. Uncertain regulatory issues with the U.S. government concerning the legality of Internet gaming and the lack of public and investor support for such a project were the key reasons given for the decision to withdraw from the venture. The Company, however, has been in negotiations with an international corporation for the exclusive rights to patented health products that have a market potential impacting on more than 100 million people in the United States. According to sources in this industry, the market value for the products is in the $4-billion range. An announcement on this matter is expected shortly.
