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.
