VHGI Unveils Strategic Gold Production Financing Plans for 2010 and Possible Name Change

LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VirtualHealth Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VHGI) confirmed today that the company continues to evaluate bids for certain of its healthcare assets as part of its strategy to assemble the necessary capital to initiate gold mining production. Additionally, VHGI announced that they intend to change the name of the company as VHGI Gold (a wholly owned operating subsidiary of VHGI) looks to put the Treasure Gulch and Zero Mines into production and accelerate the company's reentry into the Gold Mining Industry.

"Previously VHGI announced that we had entered into a letter of intent to sell some of our healthcare assets to Wound Management Technologies (WNDM) in exchange for $10,000,000 in cash and stock subject to certain factors including the approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders of VHGI," said James Renfro, President, VHGI. "While this offer is still under consideration, VHGI is also exploring alternative transactions with WNDM and other entities with the goal of maximizing cash for VHGI. VHGI Gold also plans to assist with the construction of the proposed Hard Rock Processing Facility at the Treasure Gulch and Zero Mines that VHGI has under Lease-Purchase Option. Gold mining is part of our corporate heritage and we feel it is our future."

"While financing requirements need to be addressed and other work remains to transition the property into a profitable venture, we intend to get this property into production as quickly as possible," continued Renfro. "VHGI shareholders can be assured that we will seek to maximize the return on investment and overall value as we sort through these options. Even taking into account start up costs and front-end capital expenses, the 12 month pro-forma financial model shows us to be cash flow positive within 120 days of commencing operations at the Treasure Gulch and Zero Mines. An initial investment of $1.5 million could produce first year revenues of $4.7 million and earnings of $3.4 million; second year revenues and income are forecast higher as the bulk of the expenses come from the initial construction costs."

On a separate note VHGI confirmed that they will be releasing news shortly concerning a potential name change that would more adequately reflect the intended scope of operations as VHGI moves forward, subject to completion of necessary SEC filings and shareholder approval.
