CONSOLIDATED NEVADA GOLDFIELDS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
CHANGES AT THE AURORA MINE AND CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT
Consolidated Nevada Goldfields Corporation ("CNGC") announces that considering
the low gold price, it has decided to place the Aurora mine on a care and
maintenance basis.
Significant prestripping and other capital investments, which include the
expansion of the tailings impoundment, would be required to continue
operations. Consequently, the Company has decided to temporarily suspend
operations at its Aurora mine in Hawthorne, Nevada, and await higher gold
prices.
CNGC also announces that Mike Kolin has been promoted to the position of Chief
Operating Officer. He will be in charge of the Company's operations. CNGC
further announces that its Senior Vice President of Operations, Jack
Haptonstall, resigned on March 17, 1998. James S. Stirbis, Jr., the Corporate
Secretary / Treasurer, has also resigned effective March 18, 1998. Both Mr.
Haptonstall and Mr. Stirbis contributed greatly to CNGC during their tenures
and will be missed by everyone.
