Medinah Minerals Action Committee Letter May 15, 2001 Registered Share Count Update: - The Transfer Agent (American Registrar & Transfer Company) is busy discussing with the brokerage houses and the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation, the beneficial lists that were incomplete or faulty. When they finish, Medinah will have a list of all the legally issued shares and the names of the beneficial shareholders and, we expect, the DTC will lift the "chill" on member transfers. We'd like to thank all of those that sent in their stock account information. Please bear with us regarding our responding time frames, as we were swamped last week with email, faxes and phone calls. We're slowly working our way from under the pile. If Medinah DOES NOT find your name on the master registered shareholder list, you will be contacted. In the meantime we'd like to continue the tracking of shareholders and the brokerage houses. If you have not received your registered shares at home or have not been informed by your brokerage houses that they are holding your registered shares, could you email us at rgodwin@rgm.com or Fax us at (604) 687-4611 the following information. 1. A list the shares bought (MDHM or MDMN) 2. The name of the client account used to purchase the shares 3. The date of purchase 4. The name of the brokerage house used for the purchase 5. A contact telephone number for you. Buy and Register Program: Don't forget we're still conducting our Buy and Register Program. Make sure to register any shares that you purchase Medinah Gold, Inc. Registering: In addition to Medinah Mining, a lot of the people that we're talking to haven't received their shares of Medinah Gold, so, we've uploaded a Medinah Gold certificate request form to the News page of the Web site for your convenience. The form can be accessed directly using the address below. Call for its delivery to you right away. If you have Medinah Gold shares in an account and the broker can't or won't deliver your certificate, we'd like to build a database for future action, so Email us the details and we'll add you to the list. http://www.medinahminerals.com/misc/request_for_MGcertificate.html HERD ON THE STREET 1. For our Canadian shareholders, we've some further information regarding the eligibility of holding Medinah Minerals shares in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). For starters, Medinah Minerals is non-qualified investment as it is an U.S. corporation and does not trade on a "prescribed stock exchange". Therefore the RRSP is required to pay a monthly tax of 1% of the fair market value at the time of acquisition of that property that constitutes a non-qualified investment. Also, we understand that any profit gained from a non-qualified investment inside an RRSP will be not tax free but added to your personal income and therefore taxed at your normal personal tax rate, not the capital gain tax rate. One other comment, you can't hold registered shares inside a RRSP. They have to be registered in the name of the trustee, not in the name of the annuitant or any other person. Please consult your personal tax consultant for further information with regards to holding Medinah Minerals shares in your RRSP. 2. Last week we noted that the Transfer Agent was only accepting certificates for ownership transfer that had been Medallion Signature Guaranteed. There was some confusion regarding what that meant, so, to clarify we're including some information and a Web page that explains it. "A Medallion Signature Guarantee is a stamp provided by a financial institution that verifies your signature. You endorse the certificate on the back and have the signature(s) guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution such as a commercial bank, trust company, security broker or dealer, credit union, or a savings association participating in the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program (MSP - New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program) approved by the Securities Transfer Association, Inc. No other form of signature verification can be accepted, so please make sure that you specify a "Medallion Signature Guarantee" when requesting a signature guarantee from your financial institution." http://www.moneypages.com/syndicate/stocks/sec/li044.html If you know any one who'd like to receive these updates, please give them our Email address (located at the bottom of this page), then they can send us a note with their name, Email address and contact phone number and we'll be happy to include their name on our list.
