Corporation to Reflect South American Mining Focus
MMEX Moves Forward on Mining Business Plan for
South America
DALLAS, February 23, 2011 – Management Energy, Inc. (OTC: MMEX.OB) announced today its name change to MMEX Mining Corporation signifying its focus on South American mining in Colombia and Peru.
In conjunction with this name change, Jack Hanks, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Management Energy, Inc, announced an update on the Company’s activities.
Said Hanks, “For the past several weeks we have spent considerable time in both Colombia and Peru continuing to explore new opportunities for the Company. In Colombia, we are progressing in defining the resources of our first mining venture in metallurgical coal, we are exploring another metallurgical mining opportunity and we are also continuing to review several opportunities in the infrastructure sector for consolidating and exporting coal and coke production. In Peru, we are continuing to review gold, iron ore, zinc and copper mining opportunities. All of this is very positive for the Company and we are very pleased with our progress in what we consider to be the “fairway” of this
significant international commodity boom.”
In emphasizing the new name, Hanks said “We believe that the name change to MMEX Mining Corporation gives us a better international standing in the investment and mining community. As noted previously, the new business plan is for MMEX to acquire mining assets primarily in Colombia and Peru and to migrate the listing of MMEX to the Toronto Venture Exchange and concurrently a dual listing in the now-integrated Colombia-Peru exchanges. This name change underscores this new direction.”
