PR Newswire (US)
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- QUANTUM INFORMATION,
INC. (OTC:QTUM) (BULLETIN BOARD: QTUM) (the "Company"), announced
that it has entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire all of
the membership interests of three limited liability companies that
own rights to certain parcels, leasehold mining rights and mining
leases located in Indiana and Montana. The Company believes that
these properties hold reserves of at least 250 million tons of coal
and possibly in excess of 700 million tons, and that these
properties and leasehold interests will provide significant
potential opportunities for revenue and growth. The acquisition
agreement represents a major step forward in the Company's
previously announced transition into the coal business. As part of
that transition, the Company will be changing its name to "MGMT
Energy, Inc.". The Company's new strategy is to identify and
acquire under-valued mining properties and add significant value
through the project development expertise of its senior management.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company believes it will be
well-positioned to offer cleaner, environmentally friendly coal to
the US and foreign energy markets. The Company's CEO, Mr. John
Baugues, stated "America's dependence on foreign energy is directly
tied to its physical and economic security. By identifying and
securing domestic energy supplies, such as abundant western coal
reserves, the nation can decrease its dependency on foreign energy
supplies and utilize coal as a potentially significant and
environmentally safe source of transportation fuel for a growing
economy." Clean coal is an economic, plentiful and environmentally
sound fuel source. As the most abundant fossil fuel produced in the
United States, coal currently generates over 50% of the nation's
electricity. This inexpensive electricity generated by coal results
in lower operating costs for businesses and homeowners, thus
helping to boost the economy and increase coal's competitiveness in
the marketplace. As energy demand grows, the Company believes that
clean coal will continue to be an important part of the nations'
clean, abundant and affordable resources. Clean coal technologies
have resulted in more than 20 new, lower-cost, more efficient and
environmentally compatible technologies for electric utilities,
steel mills, cement plants and other industries. The Company
believes that coal will remain the largest single source of
electricity for the foreseeable future--accounting for more than
half of the nation's power generation in 2025. Clean coal
technologies will help meet these needs, plus continue the decline
in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions already underway.
