Welcone to AuGRID Global Holdings Corporation

CLEVELAND, May 2, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- AuGRID Corporation (Other OTC:AUGC.PK - News) announces that it's joint venture partner, Windham Resources, Inc. (``Windham''), is considering opportunities for expansion and is reviewing potential acquisition projects, especially gold mining opportunities. As a basis for consideration, prospective projects should possess potential for mineral resources development based upon a history of mining or successful drilling programs by former operators of the properties. As part of its Joint Venture Agreement with Windham, AuGRID retains the right of first refusal to participate on a 50/50 basis in all new projects contemplated by Windham.

M.J. Shaheed, CEO of AuGRID stated that, ``We believe that gold has the potential to increase significantly in price over the coming years and it would be prudent to acquire the rights to additional projects while gold is still trading at current levels.''

Windham has been involved in exploration and development of gold resource properties since 1993. AuGRID is presently participating as a Joint Venture Partner with Windham in the Hill of Gold Project in the Tonopah, Nevada Mining District and the New Era Mine located near Searchlight, Nevada.

Mr. Shaheed further stated, ``We now look upon our current projects with Windham as the beginning of a long term strategy towards acquiring a large base of assets with significant potential for exploitation and ultimately increasing shareholder equity.''
