NT Holding Enters Into Discussions to Acquire Crude Oil Drilling Rights in Mongolia


HONG KONG, Oct. 4, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- NT Holding Corp. (OTCBB:NTHH) today announced it has entered into discussions to acquire crude oil drilling rights from Mongolia Zhong Bayan Crude Oil Company Limited ("Bayan"), a Mongolian company established in 1999.

Bayan owns a 50 year oil drilling concession right in the Nyalga Valley in central Mongolia. This right was granted by the Mongolian Government in 1999. According to a preliminary reserve research report conducted by Bayan, Nyalga Valley is estimated to have an oil reserve of about 600 million tons.

"Currently, Russia is the main supplier of crude oil and crude oil products for Mongolia and Northern China. However, the supply has been unstable for the last 10 years." said Peter Chun, CEO of NTHH. "Mongolia has an abundance of crude oil reserves that can supply its own needs as well as export to Northern China. The Mongolian Government is dedicated to develop its crude oil drilling industry, and we believe this is an excellent opportunity for NTHH's business."
