Golden Eagle Begins Pilot Operations on Its C Zone Gold Anomaly in Its Precambrian Claims.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Golden Eagle International, Inc. (OTCBB: MYNG) announced today that it began preliminary pilot operations on October 31, 2006 on its C Zone gold anomaly in its Precambrian claims in eastern Bolivia. The operation is in its trial shake-out phase and should be fully operational by November 10, 2006.

The pilot plant consists of a jaw crusher to break up quartz cobble in the head material, a trommel for washing and sizing the lateritic material, a Knelson Concentrator for gold recovery and a sluice box as a gold scavenger. The pilot operation is not currently seeking to meet any daily gold production numbers, but rather is focused on confirming gold grades obtained during exploration over the past 4 months by processing bulk samples. This bulk sampling campaign will allow the Company to evaluate the potential feasibility of a larger production plant.
