VHGI Completes Next Payment Phase and Updates Investors on Developments for Treasure Gulch Gold Mine Lease, Implementation of Production Plan

LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VirtualHealth Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VHGI) today confirmed that VHGI Gold, its wholly owned operating subsidiary, has given formal notice that it intends to accept the lease assignment for the Treasure Gulch Group mines and initiate ore sampling on-site within 30 days as Phase I of their gold production plan.  Additionally, VHGI Gold released initial details concerning Phases II & III of its plans to target the $50,000,000 in estimated gold reserves for processing.

Gold Lease Detail Clarification

"I would like to take this opportunity to clarify what the Lease-Purchase Option is and what it means to VHGI shareholders. Our lease rights through 2013 carry no royalty provisions or profit sharing requirements, and  we have right to all the gold that we produce through 2013. Pursuant to the purchase option clause, if we purchase the property prior to February 2013 then we will of course own it free and clear. VHGI fully intends to purchase the property as early as later this year, subject to financing; if we do not purchase the property we have renewal options after 2013 that allow for annual renewal through 2023 with some revenue sharing."

"We have formally notified the prior lease holder of our intent to accept the lease assignment and have negotiated full equity and cash payments with them. Payments for the lease extension to the property owner have been completed for the period through 2012, and we have negotiated an extension through February 15, 2013 for VHGI Gold to conduct gold mining operations," stated Jim Renfro, President of VHGI.

Phase I Testing

Over the next few weeks VHGI intends to initiate Phase I of our Gold Production Plan at Treasure Gulch. The plan calls for surface ore deposits to be sent to an analytical laboratory to determine the best possible gold extraction methodology, as well as a short-term structure sampling program to determine the value of the subterranean holdings as to the possible quantity and grade of Gold Bearing Ore that could be extracted. Both options could potentially produce first gold in 30 to 60 days on a laboratory scale. Supervision of this work has already been contracted for by VHGI Gold.

Phases II & III Gold Production

"The next step is for VHGI to construct a small 'pre-production' facility complete with a small test plant facility as we evaluate how quickly we can complete a 'full-scale' 6 ton per hour hard rock processing facility to implement full production," continued Renfro. "We are presently evaluating  12 month pro-forma financial models that show us to be cash flow positive within 120 days of commencing operations with first year revenues of $4.7 million and earnings of $3.4 million; second year revenues and income are forecast higher as the bulk of the expenses come from the initial construction costs."

In a related note VHGI said they hope to release details confirming VHGI Gold management appointments within the coming weeks.
