GOLDEN EAGLE’S PRODUCTION BACK ON SCHEDULE AT CANGALLI GOLD MINE
Reports on First Quarter Gold Production



SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH - (BUSINESS WIRE) - April 30, 2003 - Golden Eagle International, Inc. (MYNG, OTCBB) announced today that for the period between March 18 and April 22, 2003, its Cangalli gold operation processed 30,250 tons of ore for a total gold production of 13,703 grams, or 440 troy ounces. The average gold grade of the ore processed was .906 grams per cubic meter, or .453 grams per metric ton. For this period, the recovered gold grade exceeded the Company’s projected grades by 81 percent.

This grade is consistent with previously reported grades within a very tight range. Golden Eagle believes that such consistency is a positive sign and will contribute to production stability.

Golden Eagle’s Cangalli gold mine is now getting back on its regular production schedule after not operating for several days during the period due to the Company’s contribution to rescue and recovery efforts at the neighboring gold mining town of Chima, Bolivia, which had been devastated by a mudslide on March 31, 2003. That slide, triggered by torrential rains, destroyed more than 400 homes and killed more than an estimated 100 residents. The slide did not directly affect Golden Eagle’s operation and the torrential rains have stopped.

In addition, the Company’s operation was limited during the first three weeks of April by ongoing expansion construction that will result in an increased mining and plant capacity of 3,500 tons per day. Golden Eagle estimates that once it reaches this expanded capacity, its Cangalli gold mine will exceed its break-even point and become a profitable operation.

The Company also reported that during the first quarter of 2003, through its last reported gold recovery on March 18, 2003, it processed 84,100 tons of ore, recovering 36,424 grams, or 1,171 troy ounces, of gold. Gold grades recovered during the quarter were .866 grams per cubic meter, or .433 grams per ton. These grades for the first quarter were 73% higher than grades used by the Company for its financial modeling for the project.

“We are very glad that we could contribute to the rescue and recovery efforts in the neighboring community of Chima in its moment of need, as well as provide medical and food assistance” stated Ronald Atwood, Ph.D., Golden Eagle’s Vice President for Development, from Cangalli, Bolivia. “Our mine and plant expansion efforts are progressing nicely and we are returning to our regular gold production schedule as we expand.”
