TORONTO, ONTARIO, Aug 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Eurogas Corporation ("Eurogas" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: EUG)
announces that, in connection with its previously announced
dividend-in-kind to holders of Eurogas' common shares, it has, as at the
close of business on August 5, 2008, deposited certificates representing
31,143,635 common shares of Eurogas International Inc. ("Eurogas
International") with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as escrow
agent.
In connection with the dividend-in-kind, Eurogas distributed one common
share of Eurogas International for each five Eurogas shares held.
Shareholders will not receive shares or cash in lieu of fractional
shares. Certificates representing the common shares of Eurogas
International will be held by Computershare until such time as a receipt
for a prospectus of Eurogas International has been obtained. Shareholders
will not be able to trade the Eurogas International shares until such
time. The distribution was completed on a tax efficient basis for
shareholders and the Company.
It is intended that a preliminary prospectus will be filed in
approximately four weeks and a final prospectus will be filed and mailed
to shareholders once a receipt has been issued by the securities
regulatory authorities. It is expected that the whole process will take
approximately two months. Further information about the timing and exact
dates will be issued in future news releases.

listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol EUG and is engaged
