Medinah Minerals, Inc. - News Release

Lipangue Update - A.C.A. Howe International Limited

Lake Elsinore, CA., March 6, 2001 . . . Management of Medinah Minerals, Inc. announces that A.C.A. Howe International, Ltd. has presented to Medinah Minerals, Inc., its latest updated report on the Lipangue gold copper property.

"The project area is located in central Chile, approximately 30 kilometres northwest of Santiago in the coast range mountains at an elevation of approximately 2,000 metres. The property can be easily reached from Santiago along a paved highway to the town of Lampa and then along approximately 13 kilometres of 4 wheel drive roads which climb to an elevation of about 2,000 metres to the Altos de Lipangue plateau. The Lipangue property covers the majority of the plateau. Dirt roads pass through the middle of both property areas, and from here most other parts of the property can be reached in a truck or by foot along dirt roads and trails."

"Geochemical analysis by Medinah on the drill hole samples indicates that the breccia below the oxidation level, is anomalously mineralized over most of its entire width, with significant weighted averages of gold, silver, and copper as shown below:"

"Howe feels confident that the analytical values reported by Medinah from their recent drilling campaign over the Lipangue Property gives a general representation of the values that can be expected from this prospect. Future drill programs should be preceded by early stage mineralogical testing to determine the general characteristics of the gold grains in the mineralized domains which will assist in determining the optimum sampling scheme for future exploration programs."

"Medinah’s Lipangue property contains the Lipangue polymetallic breccia pipe which represents a good target to host underground, bulk mineable, gold-copper-silver mineralization. This target remains open to the east, and at deeper levels to the west, and down plunge, and could become much larger in extent as Medinah traces it in these directions. The breccia is still in the early stages of drill definition and Medinah believes that with a minimal exploration program the potential size of this target can be substantially increased. Other parts of the Lipangue Property have only been reviewed on a preliminary basis, or not at all, and these should be further explored, since the potential exists for additional breccia style or copper porphyry mineralization."

"Medinah’s increased land position is secure, in that it covers the strike and down dip extent of all of the defined mineralized zone and leaves sufficient ground to define new targets along strike or on other parts of the property."

RECOMMENDATIONS

"The Lipangue Property area should continue to be evaluated for large tonnage, bulk mineable, breccia hosted gold-copper +/-silver and/or copper porphyry style mineralization, according to the suggested two phase, results driven exploration program. The total approximate cost for Phases 1 (US$415,000) and II (US$605,000) is US$1,020,000."
