A.C.A. Howe International Gives 'Thumbs Up' to Alto de Lipangue and Las dos Marias.


     Business Editors

       LAKE ELSINORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2000--The Board
of Directors of Medinah Mining, Inc. are pleased to report that A.C.A.
Howe International Limited, through their Chilean subsidiary Howe
Chile Limitada (Howe), has completed Geological Reports on the Alto de
Lipangue and Las dos Marias gold/copper properties.
       Howe was retained to review the exploration and mining activities
completed to date over the Alto de Lipangue and Las dos Marias
properties. The properties are located in the Metropolitan region of
Chile, approximately 30 kilometers northwest of Santiago, Chile.
       In summary, Howe stated that "Medinah's Lipangue property
contains the Lipangue polymetallic breccia pipe which represents an
excellent target to host underground, bulk mineable,
gold-copper-silver mineralization. This target remains open to the
east and down plunge, and could become much larger in extent as
Medinah traces it in these directions. The breccia is still in the
earliest 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 mineralization."
       "The Dos Marias Property, hosts an early stage, grass roots shear
zone hosted gold prospect and stratabound or manto replacement skarn
copper mineralization. Recent drilling into the shear zone hosted gold
target has returned mixed results, however a new geological map by
Medinah indicates that structure of the property is much more complex
that originally believed and that the main gold bearing structures may
actually be oriented in oblique to the main shear zone, which is
subparallel to the direction of the recent drilling. The property
hosts areas of strong pervasive alteration, and indications of
numerous old mining operations and based on this Medinah believes that
it warrants a re-evaluation of the gold potential. The manto
replacement copper skarn mineralization remains untested."
       "Medinah's land position is secure in both properties, in that it
covers the strike and down dip extent of all of their defined
mineralized zones and leaves sufficient ground to define new targets
along strike or on other parts of the property."
       "Howe recommends that a two phase, results driven program be
conducted in order to further assess the large tonnage, bulk mineable,
breccia hosted gold-copper-silver potential over the Lipangue
Property. The total cost for Phases I (US $482,900) and II (US
$800,250) is approximately US $1,300,000."
       "Howe also recommends that a two phase, results driven program be
conducted in order to assess the vein style and shear zone hosted gold
mineralization and copper skarn replacement mineralization over the
Dos Marias Property. The total cost for Phase I (US $89,760) and II
(US $169,400) is approximately US $260,000."
