SALT LAKE CITY, UT - Golden Eagle International, Inc. (MYNG, OTCBB) announced today that John Millar was randomly selected to receive a one-ounce nugget that the Company had recovered from its Cangalli, Bolivia gold mine during the week ended May 30. Mr. Millar was one of 2,113 persons who have signed up to receive Eagle E-mail Alerts, Eagle Fax Alerts and Eagle Regular Mail Alerts.

The Company received so many enthusiastic responses to its gold nugget offer that it is auctioning an additional classic, rugged gold nugget with a weight of 27.5 grams (one troy ounce is 31.1 grams) on eBay, with all of the proceeds going for the benefit of the Golden Eagle Hospital in Cangalli, Bolivia, as well as its Health Fair 2003 that will take place in August. Golden Eagle has provided many humanitarian programs at its mine site, including the only hospital, doctor and nurse in Cangalli, Bolivia, for the past six years. The Company has also sponsored annual health fairs in Cangalli during that period. Health Fair 2002, which included 38 doctors, interns and medical students, examined and treated 580 local patients free of charge. A total range of examinations and treatments are offered, and the area's children are traditionally given all of their necessary vaccinations.

"We feel a great satisfaction that as we remove value from the ground for our shareholders, we can return value in so many important ways to those that live in the areas in which we mine," stated Terry C. Turner, Golden Eagle‚s President and CEO. "The proceeds from this nugget auction not only give our shareholders and other interested persons a chance to buy a piece of history, but will be a welcome addition to our ongoing support of humanitarian efforts in this economically depressed region of Bolivia."

Bids in the auction may be placed on eBay at www.ebay.com, then searching under item #3033339614 or with the key words: "Golden Eagle Gold Nugget."
