Former U.S. senator and 2008 presidential candidate Fred Thompson has selected Goldline International, Inc. as his exclusive gold dealer and will be endorsing Goldline on his new radio show, The Fred Thompson Show.

“We are happy to welcome Goldline as one of our first sponsors of The Fred Thompson Show,” said Thompson. “Jeri [Thompson] and I chose Goldline as our source for gold and precious metals. Like many investors, we believe that gold is an important part of a diversified portfolio, especially in these troubled economic times. That’s why we tell our friends and listeners to call Goldline to learn more about acquiring gold.”

Fred Thompson is one of the most respected and visible figures in politics today. Thompson served eight years as a Senator from Tennessee, and in 2008 sought the Republican nomination for President of the United States. Serving as Chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, and as a member of the Finance Committee and Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Thompson focused on lowering taxes, strengthening national security, and cutting wasteful government spending.

“Goldline is extremely honored to be selected by Senator Thompson as his choice for gold coins and other precious metals,” said Mark Albarian, President & CEO of Goldline. “We share the Senator’s view that gold is an important part of any diversified portfolio. Goldline has been helping investors acquire gold and other precious metals since 1960.”

The Fred Thompson Show recently debuted on the Westwood One radio network. “This is the biggest talk radio launch since Bill O’Reilly,” said Dennis Green, Westwood One EVP Affiliate Sales. “We have not even hit the air and radio stations from coast to coast are ready for Fred Thompson to speak to their audiences about the issues that matter.”

Certified Limited Editions of the World’s Purest Official Mint Coin

Santa Monica, Calif. – August 4, 2008 – Goldline International, Inc. today announced it has acquired the very first uniquely designed 2008 .99999 pure gold one-ounce Maple Leaf coins struck by the Royal Canadian Mint. These coins have been independently certified by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), one of the premier coin grading services, to be the first seventeen hundred 2008 .99999 pure Maple Leaf coins. The overwhelming majority of these “First Strike” coins are graded in Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. Each graded coin will be sonically sealed in a rigid plastic container to preserve its mint condition. The PCGS certification includes a unique serial number for each coin.

The .99999 Maple Leaf was introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2007 as the purest gold coin struck by a government mint. The original Maple Leaf coin was first minted in 1979 and contained .999 pure gold. In 1982, the Royal Canadian Mint increased the Maple Leaf’s purity to .9999 (or 24 karat), setting a new benchmark for gold bullion coins. The Royal Canadian Mint raised the standard once again with its .99999 Maple Leaf. The .99999 Maple Leaf features a new, elegant maple leaf gracing the reverse and a 12-sided design.

“When Canada increased the gold content of the Maple Leaf to .99999 fine, it set an unsurpassed standard for gold investment products,” said Mark Albarian, President and Chief Executive Officer of Santa Monica-based Goldline International, Inc. “The independently graded and certified 2008 First Strike .99999 Maple Leafs offer collectors and the investment community a special gold coin at a time when investors are seeking a traditional safe haven hedge against inflation and a falling dollar.”
