GOLD ABOVE $1400; PMX Gold Releases Preliminary Gold Bullion Vending Machine Sales Data, Confirms Planned Nationwide Expansion Based on Gold's Emergence as Parallel Currency

BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PMX Gold, LLC ("PMX Gold"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMX Communities, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PMXO) (the "Company" or "PMXO"), confirmed today that they have completed Phase 1 test marketing of the first US operated Gold Bullion Vending Machine at the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, FL.  Nearly 650 Gold transactions have been made to date, in sizes ranging from 2 gram, 5 gram, 10 gram and 1 ounce gold bullion bars, and .5 ounce and 1 ounce American Eagle Gold Coins. Approximately 30% of these items were investment class (10 grams to 1 ounce). Detailed sales figures will be released upon completion of the Company's annual audit and Form 10 –K filing with the SEC.

"Given the fact that the machine has only been operational in a 'cash only' mode, together with a number of other significant technology and operational challenges we faced, we are pleased with the results," said Michael Hiler, the Company's President and CEO. "Offering instant access to .999 Pure Credit Suisse Gold Bullion Bars and U.S. minted American Eagle Gold Coins through gold vending machines is an important first step towards fulfilling our business plan. However, our perspective and goal concerning these tests is more of a macro view as to positive acceptance of access to unmanned gold bullion terminals by the public rather than simply to determine the feasibility of selling gold bullion from a vending machine."

Gold Bullion's Acceptance as Collateral by Financial Institutions and Emergence as a Parallel Currency

Earlier this week JP Morgan announced that they will accept physical gold bullion as collateral and allow institutional firms and banks to borrow money against gold deposits. It is interesting to note, however that they will not accept ETF trust gold as collateral, thus clarifying the significance of physical gold holdings. This announcement follows CME Clearing Group's decision to accept gold as collateral for trades on the exchange, and that Gold Bullion can be used for margins for CME trades ranging from crude oil, gold, grains, equity indexes and Treasury bonds.

Nationwide Expansion Plans: The PMX Gold Bullion Financial Management Account

"While we intend to have simple gold bullion vending as part of our business plan, PMXO is in the process of developing the infrastructure, technology and relationships for an exclusive PMX Gold Bullion Financial Management Account," continued Hiler. "We intend to capitalize on the potential emergence of gold as a parallel currency and offer our retail customers the ability to conduct Gold Bullion based transactions through this account via unmanned terminals combining both gold vending machine and conventional ATM technology. We are reviewing the acquisition of certain intellectual property rights and intend to release initial details of our nationwide expansion plans over the next few weeks."
