New Road Access Alto De Lipangue and Lobo Solitario, Chile.

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 1999--

Medinah Energy, Inc. (OTC BB:MDIN) and Cerro Dorado Inc. (OTC BB:CDCH), have signed an agreement for a 50/50 cost-sharing program to upgrade the Road access to the Alto de Lipangue and Lobo Solitario projects. The road will be constructed from Curacavi to the junction of the Las Dos Marias claims.

Alto de Lipangue and Lobo Solitario properties adjoin the old road currently being used, which is suitable for small equipment and temporary access. The discovery of a new gold/copper hydrothermal ore deposit at Lipangue means more permanent access is required. Costs are not expected to exceed $60,000. Construction crews and equipment will be arranged by Medinah and work will begin immediately.

On behalf of the Board of Directors
