Fire Mountain Beverage to Produce 12,000-Case First Order


VALENCIA, Calif., Aug. 17, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Fire Mountain Beverage Company (Pink Sheets:FBVG) announces its first production run generated by its new sales and distribution team, encompassing 12,000 cases of water products. The Company is looking very hard at its ability to place products into the recently added distribution system, and is extremely optimistic but making conservative estimations on the potential of sales that can be achieved in the system.

According to Sandra Thomas, VP, Product Development, "we are receiving orders that far outweigh what we had anticipated. I guess the market is hungrier than we thought with regard to our products. We have already sold a truckload of Energy Drinks that we still have under development. This is an exciting time for us and is only the beginning of our sales push. The magnitude of opportunities this company has received this week has us thinking in a new way, causing us to add new staff for accounting, as well as looking at production and the cost savings that can be achieved by purchasing and or leasing additional equipment.

"We will be making significant changes in the near future with regard to our production partnership and our overall business strategies. Our goal is to make cost-effective decisions that will drive sales and profits."
