MDM Group Reports Progress, Monday December 31, 10:43 am ET


VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 31, 2007 -- MDM Group, Inc. (Other OTC:MDDM.PK - News) advises that following a difficult year in which the Company's interests were specifically and deliberately excluded from participating in a Rights Issue in Sun Biomedical Limited (formerly Harrington Group) the Company has re-aligned its business interests.

Following the divesting of its interest in Sun Biomedical, MDM Group is continuing with its core business interest in the ongoing development opportunities with certain bio-defense and pharmaceutical product candidates in projects led by Dr Ed Stephen, Dr Aldar Bourinbaiar and Dr Allen Bain.

Further, in consideration of payment of AUD$500,000 the Company acquired five million shares and five million options in Zodiac Capital Limited, an investment banking group associated with Peter Boonen the Company's President and with Dr Allen Bain, also a director of MDM Group. Zodiac Capital is now listed on the National Stock Exchange in Australia following capital raisings totalling AUD$3,500,000. At current market value this Zodiac Capital shareholding is valued at approximately AUD$1,000,000.

MDM Group, through its Zodiac Capital interest, and for a nominal consideration, has also acquired five million shares in Colossal Mining Limited which is preparing for a AUD$20 million capital raising and listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in March 2008. Colossal Mining has contracted to acquire extensive iron sand deposits in the Philippines with the potential to yield in excess of a target 1.75 billion tons of iron ore. At the expected Colossal Mining IPO price the MDM Group interest is expected to be valued at approximately AUD$1,000,000.

Finally, through its Zodiac Capital shareholding, MDM Group expects to achieve further strategic shareholdings in planned future public companies to be listed through Zodiac Capital. MDM Group President Peter Boonen is the Managing Director of Zodiac Capital, Dr Allen Bain is a Director of both Companies and Zodiac Capital is chaired by Mr Robin Armstrong the Executive Director of Corporate at Findlay Securities Limited, a top 15 stockbroking business in Australia that averages over AUD$2 Billion a month in share transaction turnover.
