(OTCBB: MYNG) announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Harlan McSpadden (Mac) DeLozier as a member of its Board of Directors. Since March 1, 1997 (a period of over 9 years), Mr. DeLozier has been Golden Eagle's Administrative Vice President for Bolivian Operations. Mr. DeLozier has over 40 years of experience living, operating and conducting business in Bolivia. He is a 1966 graduate of Oklahoma State University, where he received B.A. degrees in Political Science, Foreign Language and History. He served in the Peace Corps in Bolivia from 1966-1971 and administered a large cattle ranch in Beni, Bolivia from 1972-1990. In addition to his ranching activities, from 1976 to 1980, he was the representative of Homeline/Textron in Bolivia, and from 1980-1981 he was the operations manager of the Kerani gold mine in the Murillo Province in western Bolivia. From 1981 to 1985, Mr. DeLozier was the purchasing agent for the U.S. Embassy Commissary in La Paz, Bolivia, and from 1986-1988 he managed a large leather products exporting operation from Bolivia to Chile and Peru. From 1989 until 1997, Mr. DeLozier was the international sales representative for Toyota, Chevrolet, and Hyundai in Bolivia. "Mac DeLozier, with his 40-year experience and important contacts in Bolivia, is one of the principal reasons that Golden Eagle has been able to remain resilient through difficult times. This vast experience now allows us to benefit from opportunities for growth and progress that we have today," stated Terry Turner, Golden Eagle's CEO. "Mac is an able administrator, as he proved with the construction and administration of our Cangalli gold mine under demanding circumstances, who can now help our Board navigate the challenges of getting into pilot operations at the B and C Zones at our eastern Bolivia Buen Futuro project, as well as getting into operation at our larger development at the Buen Futuro A Zone if we are successful in obtaining financing." The Company also reported that H.E. Dunham has resigned as its Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as a member of its Board of Directors. Golden Eagle indicated further that its CEO met on September 19, 2006 with Bolivia's President Evo Morales, and other executives from American companies operating in Bolivia, in a meeting sponsored by the Council of the Americas and the Bolivian-American Chamber of Commerce in New York City prior to President Morales' speech to the United Nations General Assembly. While President Morales' specific comments at the meeting were "off the record," Golden Eagle's CEO reported that "President Morales was very open and he gave me the impression that after having gone through a learning curve over the past 8 months, he has concluded that Bolivia needs to protect and foster foreign investment, and create a stable and positive atmosphere in which foreign companies can operate." Alvaro Riveros, a member of Golden Eagle's Board of Directors and former Bolivian Vice Minister of Natural Resources, stated, "President Morales has communicated to his cabinet and to the Bolivian people that he understands the pressing need to have foreign investment stimulating the Bolivian economy and creating jobs. Recently, I have personally discussed Golden Eagle's Buen Futuro project with representatives of the Ministry of Mining and Metallurgy and have received assurances that the project is viewed with great hope and anticipation by the current administration regarding its potential to invigorate an economically depressed region of Bolivia."
