LAS DOS MARIAS – CHILE
Santiago, Chile., June 19, 2006. . . Medinah Minerals,
Inc. and Medinah (Chile) announce today that a New Party Letter of Intent
Joint Venture Agreement has been signed to develop the Las Dos Marias claims
and adjacent properties. The
operator of the joint venture to complete the bulk sample production shaft
as proposed by Paul Jones, P.Geo., will be Medinah Gold, Inc. The purchaser
of the property is Goldstate Corp., a Nevada Corporation.
LAS DOS MARIAS PROPERTY
Previously, Las Dos Marias property exploration included
diamond drilling that intersected a very high-grade gold section of six (6)
meters width containing in excess of three (3) ounces gold per ton. This
finding was examined by Paul Jones, P.Geo, with recommendations received
that suggested a bulk sample production shaft to the seventy six (76)-meter
level in the area of the drill hole DM99-02 to produce a bulk sample of the
high-grade ore and allow access to the main system.
A.C.A. Howe International Limited had recommended this project as a potential
target for shear zone hosted gold mineralization, as well as a strata bound
skarn replacement copper mineralization project.
Regional geology maps show an extensive area of hydrothermal alteration, centered
on the shear that extends south from the middle of the property, about two
(2) kilometers to the granodiorite contact.
The main shear roughly follows the base of Quebrada Durazno range within the
Las Dos Marias property boundaries which can be traced over a total strike
length of about 700 metres (traced through surface outcrops, diamond drill
holes, and extrapolated along strike through IP/Resistivity results).
As reported by A.C.A. Howe International Limited, Las Dos Marias
drill hole number DM99-02, between approximately sixty six (66) and seventy
three (73) meters noted the analytical results of two consecutive, one (1)-meter
samples taken by the property vendors geologist, between sixty eight (68) and
seventy (70) meters, yielded 61.77 and 122.2 grams gold/per ton. A
quarter core repeat sample by A.C.A. Howe International Limited of the second
sample, between sixty nine (69) and seventy (70) meters, returned a spectacular
value of 455.02 grams gold/per ton across one (1) meter.
A 1.5 meter channel chip sample taken by A.C.A. Howe
International Limited in the manto adit across an inter bedded sequence of
partially oxidized skarnified limey sediments and siliceous volcanics revealed
minor amounts of copper oxide mineralization and traces of finely disseminated
pyrite and chalcocite that yielded 1.96% copper. Based on this finding,
the analytical result and the occurrence may be a wide, potentially bulk
mineable copper resource opportunity.
The agreement, among parties, calls for an immediate
expenditure of $500,000 for the bulk sample production shaft and a further
$1,500,000 in regional geological evaluations. The Medinah group will earn 10% of net profits until the
original capital is repaid and 30% thereafter as well as receive initially
two million (2,000,000) common shares of Goldstate’s stock and an additional
two million (2,000,000) shares annually pursuant to contract.
The Joint Venture agreement is subject to formal and
final documentation to be agreed upon between the various companies’ management,
Boards of Directors, and solicitors/lawyers, and to be fully executed on
or before June 30, 2006.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of September 27, 2006 - Goldstate Corp. has failed to provide
formal documentation to conclude the terms proposed under the June 15, 2006
agreement that was to be completed by June 30, 2006. As well, Medinah
retained the right to introduce third parties to the proposal.
Medinah has terminated the June 15, 2006 proposal.
