Golden Eagle Applauds Bolivia's Return to Total Tranquility
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH— November 3, 2003---Golden Eagle International, Inc. (MYNG, OTCBB) announced today that it believes that Bolivia, where the Company has an operating gold mine, and extensive mineralized landholdings, has returned to total tranquility. The Company applauded the country's new administration for its role in restoring calm to Bolivia so quickly and moving the country forward.
Golden Eagle also announced that its Cangalli gold operations, located in the heart of the prolific gold producing Tipuani Gold District 165 miles from La Paz, performed well during the unrest and are back to normal. Shipments of parts and other supplies have resumed as scheduled. The Company indicated that its October production results would be announced on Thursday, November 6, 2003.
"We are extremely pleased with the focused and energetic leadership demonstrated by President Carlos Mesa during his first weeks in office," stated Terry C. Turner, Golden Eagle's CEO. "So many political issues have been quickly negotiated to a satisfactory conclusion for all concerned. Confidence in the future and real optimism are the two most visible reactions of the Bolivia people."
Among the key announcements that have come out of Bolivia within the past several days are:
·
Carlos Mesa will complete his full term in office through 2007, utilizing his vigorous brand of hands-on leadership to maintain stability and promote Bolivia's image to the world as a good place to do business.
·
The World Bank announced this past week that it will back the Mesa administration with $95 million in immediate development funds, and will finance a total of 11 approved projects for a total of $455 million (none of which includes Golden Eagle's projects).
·
Brazil expressed unconditional support for Mesa's administration and assured Bolivia's immediate admission as a full member of MERCOSUR, the Southern Cone Common Market, which will give Bolivia's producers easier, less costly access to enormous markets in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
·
Brazil also agreed to increase its current contract for consumption of Bolivian natural gas by $200 million; invest $780 million in infrastructure improvements in Bolivia; and forgave Bolivia's national debt with Brazil of $52 million.
·
CAF, the Andean Development Corporation, agreed this past week to invest $100 million this year in "social infrastructure, poverty reduction and strengthening democratic institutions."
·
The Bush Administration sent Peter De Shazo, Undersecretary of State for the Western Hemisphere, together with the U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, David Greenlee, to express complete U.S. support for Mesa's administration, and to negotiate on issues regarding the formation of ALCA, the Free Trade Zone of the Americas, which would also give Bolivian producers easier, less costly access to the markets of the entire hemisphere.
"The phenomenal silver lining to our recent unrest is the current rush of support from Bolivia's neighboring countries in South America, and the hemisphere, to ensure the stability and economic prosperity of a sister country," commented Mac Delozier, Golden Eagle's VP for Administration, from the Company's offices in La Paz. "This rapid turnaround inside Bolivia, and outpouring of international support, is helping to create the kind of business atmosphere in which Golden Eagle can thrive and grow in both the near and the long-term."
