      Gold International Corp., a Nevada corporation, today announced that, effective
      August 23, 2006, we acquired from Golden Cycle Gold Corporation, or Golden
      Cycle, its Illipah gold prospect in White Pine County, Nevada. More
      specifically, we acquired from Golden Cycle all of its right, title, and
      interest in Golden Cycle's Illipah gold prospect. It is an exploration property
      situated in eastern Nevada at the southern extension of the Carlin Trend (T
      18N,
      R 58E) and consists of 191 unpatented federal Bureau of Land Management lode
      mining claims, approximately 3,820 acres.
We
      tendered $50,000 to Golden Cycle on or about August 23, 2006. We also agreed
      to
      tender $50,000 and to issue 50,000
restricted
shares
      of
      our common stock within 90 thereafter, an additional 100,000 restricted shares
      of our common stock within an additional 90 days, and an additional 200,000
      restricted shares of our common stock by August 23, 2007. We will assume Golden
      Cycle's obligations in an underlying exploration and mining lease agreement on
      the claims, and granted to Golden Cycle a production royalty of two percent
      of
      net smelter returns on all rents and mineral production from the property.
      We
      also obligated ourselves to pay $48,006.50 for (A) United States Department
      of
      the Interior Bureau of Land Management mining claim maintenance fees, (B) annual
      maintenance and filing fees to White Pine County, Nevada, and (C) advanced
      minimum royalty payments to Carl Pescio, one of our directors, and Janet Pescio
      under an August 31, 2001, agreement between the Pescios and Golden Cycle.
We
      have
      agreed to register all of such shares for re-sale within 6o days of the closing
      date (as defined in the Definitive Agreement) but not later than 150 days after
      August 23, 2006. We also agreed to use our best efforts to cause it to be
      declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter, but within 120 days after
      the closing date and no later than 210 days after August 23, 2006.
We
      have
      the option, exercisable at any time prior to commercial production on any of
      the
      Illipah claims, to reduce the Golden Cycle production royalties from two percent
      to one percent by paying Golden Cycle one million dollars in cash or in gold
      bullion priced as of the August 24, 2006 closing price of gold on the New York
      Commodity Exchange. We also agreed to undertake an exploration program on the
      Illipah property and related area of interest, and incur exploration and
      development expenditures of at least $750,000 within two years, of which
      $250,000is to be expended during the first year of the agreement.
