CALGARY, Alberta , November 4, 2010 (press release) – AMG Bioenergy Resources Holdings Ltd (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ABG) announces that it has just signed a Letter of Intent with China Zhejiang Biodiesel Co, Ltd ("CZBC") to acquire the Eucalyptus and Jatropha Plantation assets that CZBC has developed in Guangdong province, Southern China. The Company will initially acquire the abovementioned Jatropha and Eucalyptus Plantation assets for an amount up to CAD2.6 Million, approximately 145 hectares and 330 hectares respectively in size, and subsequently, in line with its stated business objective, further develop it into a 400 hectare plantation. The Eucalytus Plantation asset, located within the same area of the Jatropha Plantation asset and being established source of raw material for the renewable forestry resource sector, has been identified by the Company as another source of operational revenue and cashflow.

The Company believes the abovementioned acquisition of the Jatropha and Eucalyptus Plantation assets will reduce the plantation development risk of the Company when pursuing its stated business objectives, and allow the Company to achieve operational revenues and cashflow in a shorter period of time. The Company intends that the acquisition of the Plantation assets be financed via a private placement of shares of the Company.

AMG Bioenergy Resources Holdings Ltd will commence preliminary due diligence work shortly and expects to complete the same by 31 December 2010 before finalizing terms and conditions with CZBC.
