MGM Mineral Resources Acquires Two Mines in the Segovia-Remedios Area of Colombia

MGM Mineral Resources Acquires Two Mines in the Segovia-Remedios Area of Colombia

Thursday, August 24th 2006

Metro Gold Mines Mineral Resources Inc., is a growing gold mining company engaged in the acquisition and development of production properties in South and Central America.

“Our Company advised our shareholders in a recent press release of a minimum of six mines that had been secured during the corporate meetings that took place in Medellin, Colombia,” said Ken Lamb, President of MGM Mineral Resources. “The newest acquisitions will bring our Company’s current mine portfolio up to four properties.”

The Company’s legal team was finalizing all the legal requirements to retain 100% ownership of the lands, along with the respective mining rights. The two properties are Cardenales and Doradal and they are all within the municipality of Segovia-Remedios, Colombia.

Cardenales is the smallest of these new acquisitions at 59 acres and is located in the Remedios area. This property is owned by Director Rodrigo Betancur.

Doradal is the larger of these two confirmed properties and falls within an area of 146 acres. The property is located in the same municipality as La Esperanza, Segovia, and is owned by Director Guillermo Restrepo.

MGM Mineral Resources has acquired 100% rights to these lands. The Directors mentioned above were appointed initially due to their expertise in their respective fields. They were also able to contribute towards the progress of the Company by negotiating the rights to the lands and placing them under MGMX. Nothing was finalized until the corporate meetings took place in Medellin last week.

“Our Directors, Management, and staff are very happy with the rapid growth,” said Ken Lamb. “We are moving forward and our direction has never changed. There were several bumps in the road along the way, but, everything is coming together incredibly well at the present time and for the future.”

The Company will release further information and technical data from these acquisitions in the near future.
