BOLV News:
January 10 - Bolivar Mining Corp Operations Update
Bolivar Mining Corp. (OTC: BOLV) recently gave an operational update. "It is key to communicate to our shareholders, especially while in the early development stage of our emerging company", BMC's CEO and President, Arshad Shah commented.
1. About Bolivar Mining Corp.
Though the name and business change happened in November 2007, BMC
wanted to dive a little deeper and share more history on this major
milestone in our business.
In March 2007, Mr. Shah took over as CEO of Denim Apparel Group, a
trading vehicle to become Bolivar Mining Corp to raise operational
capital for purchasing mining rights for known deposits. Bolivar
Mining Corp does not have any current or past connections and was
never a member of the management/ownership team of the predecessor
companies.
Bolivar Mining has decades of mining development experience and has
recruited two major players in the field, Michael M. Ellis and
Dr. Robert B. Cook, Jr. We are planning to add more talent to our
geotechnical team shortly and begin a major assessment initiative for
our known metal deposit inventory, which we discuss later in this
release.
2. An update from our Chief Mining Officer, Michael M. Ellis
Why should anyone invest in Bolivar, through the purchasing of the
company's stock? The answer is straightforward and not very complex.
The world is fast running out of resources, due to the fact that many
former second and upcoming developing countries with huge populations
have now matured economically to the point that they desire a modern
Western lifestyle infused in their culture. Mr. Arshad Shah has long
realized this dilemma and the opportunity to earn an economic return
by efficiently addressing this problem. Through Bolivar Mining
Corporation, Mr. Shah has assembled a highly experienced technical
team well versed in the business of metal exploration and mining on
international scale. To date, only three members of the core five
member technical team have been announced publicly. Up until this
press release, I have not discussed the metal deposit projects in
detail that our technical team is currently evaluating spanning eight
countries.
Why? Bolivar Mining Corporation does not work in a vacuum...
Our industry is full ambitious competitors, who would love nothing
more than to acquire the metal deposits that our technical team has
spent years locating and evaluating. Additionally, it is not just the
metal reserves contained within these deposits that I have to be
concerned about; we need to ensure Bolivar has the operational
capacity to mine these deposits efficiently. If Bolivar is not the
better, faster and least expensive and cost effective company to
develop a certain deposit, then I have to find a suitable joint
venture partner who can be. Alternatively, if internal mining or a
joint venture is proven not possible for the benefit of our
shareholders, Bolivar will then package the deposit project based on
the completed geological, mineralogical, and engineering analysis.
Then we sell the metal deposit to someone who would be the most
efficient producer based on the characteristics of that particular
deposit.
This all takes time and it has to be done correctly. Until we have
signed and in many cases correctly translated binding legal
agreements, followed by completed diamond core drilling, geophysics,
certified mineral sample analysis from the entire deposit and not
from some select highly mineralized zone, completed geological
mapping and a complete mineralogical formation report, and have the
mining engineering evaluations in hand, I can not, and will not,
disseminate the exact details of a deposit.

FUGO News:
January 10 - Fuego Entertainment Acquires 15 "Lost", Never Before Released, Recordings by The Beatles
Fuego Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: FUGO) announced it has acquired 15 tracks of previously unreleased music by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, "The Beatles." The recordings were made in 1962, a short time before their signing with E.M.I., during the FAB FOUR'S first live appearance together at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany playing before a small audience of about twenty to thirty people. The original tape of this live recording was "lost" for over 33 years in the record and tape collection of legendary music producer and promoter Mr. Jeffrey Collins.
The Star Club Hamburg recorded most groups that appeared at their club in the late 50s and early 60s under a performance contract that included payment in full for any live recordings made at their club. Many of these recordings were released by Polydor (West Germany). However this particular tape was sold along with several others to Jeffrey Collins, of the Collins Organization, a booking agency in London, England. The original idea was that the tapes would be used to promote the Star Club as a venue and the groups to other clubs that the Collins Organization used. The tapes were in fact not touched until 1994 when, with the release of the B.B.C. tapes and a renewed interest in The Beatles, Mr. Jeffrey Collins decided to search for the lost tapes.
This 15 track set was recorded at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany a short while after the Ted Taylor recordings and boast different and perhaps better takes of "A Taste of Honey" and "Hippy Hippy Shake" (using Tony Sheridan as a 5th Beatle). These are the only two songs found on the original Star Club releases with which this recording should not be confused.
This is an historical recording because it was the very first time that Ringo Starr actually played with The Beatles "live" after replacing Pete Best on the drums.
Other tracks make good use of Kingsize Taylor's Band "The Dominoes" who utilize their piano on such Beatles favorites as "Money," "Twist and Shout" and "I Saw Her Standing There" all of which were subsequently used on The Beatles' first studio recordings for E.M.I.
What makes this album truly unique are the eight songs not available on any previously released L.P.s or singles — which include Paul McCartney singing Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues" and George Harrison vocalizing Maurice Williams' "Do You Believe." One of the most outstanding tracks on this album must be "Ask Me Why" showing just how John Lennon and Paul McCartney became such a winning combination.
The complete list of all the tracks, the complete story of how this "lost" tape from The Beatles came into the possession of Mr. Jeffrey Collins and sound clips from several of the recordings from this album will soon be available on our Fuego Entertainment, Inc. web site at www.FuegoEntertainment.net. When you enter the web site click on the "Fuego Plus" menu button.
"I am delighted to be given the opportunity to work with such professional businessmen within the Fuego Entertainment Organization and I am truly looking forward to running the new joint venture and achieving the goals that we will set for ourselves," said Jeffrey Collins.
"Our previously announced Joint Venture with Mr. Collins's Echo Vista Group, incorporates into our exciting music library an extraordinary, diverse, valuable catalog of music. In some cases, never released recorded music, The Beatles is only one example. I'm extremely excited about this acquisition and the future release of this historical Beatles album. They are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed music groups in the history of popular music," stated Hugo Cancio, President & CEO of Fuego Entertainment.
This one of a kind historical album will be released under the Echo-Fuego joint venture, a majority control music division of Fuego Entertainment. A release date will be announced in the near future.
