Moves to New Name and Image for the Company
Thursday July 15, 11:53 pm ET
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 15, 2004 -- Americana
Gold and Diamond Holdings, Inc. ("AGDM"), trading symbol OTC:
Pink Sheets -- AGDM, announced today they have changed the name of the
Company to MineCore International, Inc.
MineCore International, Inc. began its listing under the trading symbol
of OTC:Pink Sheets -- (OTC BB:MCIO.OB - News) at 9:30 a.m. EST, July 15,
2004. In conjunction with the name change, the holders of a majority of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock consented to a one-for-ten
reverse stock split, effective as of 11:59 p.m. EST, July 14, 2004.
MineCore International, Inc. ("MineCore") expanded its operations
and asset base with the acquisition of Platinum Works, Inc. ("PWI").
"We are now an International development and exploration
company," heralded D.L. (Dan) Forigo, MineCore President, "We
are very excited with the new name and image of the company."
As part of its strategic plan, MineCore will be exploring
and developing certain sapphire-bearing deposits in Madagascar along with
bidding for contracts under the Infrastructure Program in Madagascar.
The Heavy Equipment Division has been awarded two Memorandums'
of Understanding for a highway upgrade project and a Joint Venture with
ACROW Corporation of America to construct several bridges in a pilot project.
Both projects are located in Madagascar. Currently the Construction Division
is generating revenue with ongoing contracts.
The Manufacturing Technology Division, which has not
commenced revenue producing operations, is poised to introduce its patented
technology to hyper compress clay for building blocks that can be used
for constructing structures such as schools, medical clinics and housing
projects.
MineCore, as part of its strategic plan, will be looking
for Joint Venture partners to develop certain of its gold bearing properties
in the La Fortuna play in Venezuela.
The Company intends to use MineCore as its its trade
name, and unveiled its new logo today in an unveiling in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida.
The trade name MineCore was developed on the basis that
the core business of the company will be mining. To support its exploration
and mining operations, MineCore has a Construction Division, which includes
its Heavy Equipment Division for road building and overburden stripping
and its Electrical Division for supporting its operations and to bid for
work associated with the Infrastructure program in Madagascar. Along with
the Construction Division, MineCore has an Infrastructure Division, which
includes the Support Departments for Mining and the Manufacturing Technology
Division which, once fully operational, will provide economical building
structures. With the extraction of sapphires and the manufacturing of
goods, a Marketing Division will be developed to generate sales for the
Company.
"Our logo takes into account the operations of MineCore
with a modern look and image," explained J.G. (Jerry) Mikolajczyk,
MineCore Chief Operating Officer, "the right side of the trademark
symbol has a bold tower representing the Construction Division. The oval
at the bottom center represents the oval shape of an open pit mine operation.
The three left spikes represent the 3 Divisions, Mining, Infrastructure
and Marketing. The bridge over the oval between the construction tower
on the right and the Marketing spike on the inner left represents the
Bridge Division and the Structure Division. We have incorporated our operations
in a symbol that our employees and operations are represented by."
MineCore is developing its website and should be available
for surfing in the very near future. The Company has secured the URL address
www.minecore.com along with the related top level domains .net, .org,
.info, .biz and .us.
MineCore is an exploration company, as defined under
SEC Industry Guide 7. The Company's mission is to successfully identify,
acquire and develop mineral properties with a fast track program to commence
mining operations. Its other divisions and departments are in the developmental
stages.
