AQUAGOLD International Announces Flagship Product on Shelves in Shanghai, China

NEW YORK, NY, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
AQUAGOLD International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AQUI), a global distributor of
premier Canadian spring water products, announces that its flagship
product, AQUAGOLD Premier Canadian Spring Water, is now available for
sale in select Lianhua stores in Shanghai, China. Lianhua, part of the
Lianhua Supermarket Holdings Co., Ltd., is the first venue to stock and
sell the product.

"We are very pleased to have our product available for sale in these
initial Lianhua sites," said Domingo M. Silvas III, CEO of AQUAGOLD. "Our
company is the first to have a Canadian water product on supermarket
shelves in one of the largest, first-tier retail chains in China, and we
are proud of this accomplishment."

The AQUAGOLD Sales Team in China plans to distribute product samples at
the Lianhua stores for on-site consumption. Informational brochures and
pamphlets will also be distributed, providing information about the
company's high-end bottled water product. Prestigious shelf space has been
allocated to AQUAGOLD, rivalling that of more established brands.

AQUAGOLD Asia recently increased its sales force numbers in order to more
strongly represent the Company's flagship bottled water product at the
Lianhua points of sale. The sales team will ultimately be increased to
approximately fifty people, including four managers. After establishing
its primary sales team in Shanghai, AQUAGOLD will continue its sales
efforts in the region by introducing its bottled water to Beijing, the
southern coastal areas, and then to other key cities such as Dalian.

"The quality and purity of our water has been very well-received," stated
Mark-Oliver Hassoun, Vice President of Asian Market Sales. "The reality
television show, 'AQUAGOLD Superface,' has been a huge success, exposing
our company and product to an estimated thirty million viewers per week.
We continue to see increasing demand for this luxury brand item, and we
look forward to creating further original and innovative ways to introduce
our product to Chinese consumers."
