Business Editors

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2001

American Benefits Group, Inc. (OTC:ABFG) is pleased to make the following announcements.

Ms. Louise Marie Olga Razafisoamandimby has been appointed to the position of Managing Director of the Company's

Malagasy subsidiary Stones and Wood Corporation s.a.r.l. Company Director Mr. Dror Moradov resigned this position in order to more fully devote his time to the newly created position of Managing Director of African and Asian Operations. Stones and Wood Corporation s.a.r.l. has confirmed with the Company that all Stones and Wood Corporation s.a.r.l. perimeters in the Democratic Republic of Madagascar are current, valid and subsisting.

Since November 2000, American Benefits Group, Inc.'s new Management Team under President and Chief Executive Officer Gerald E. Sklar has refocused the Company on its original Business Model. This model joins the Mining Division (extraction and processing of corundum into loose sapphires, loose rubies and finished jewelry) with the ABFG Internet Solutions Divisions (ISD). The ISD has proven to be a valuable component of the Business Model allowing the company to gain a profile within the colored gem and jewelry industry. The ISD is quickly becoming a self-sufficient division within American Benefits Group, Inc. through its ability to undertake much of the Company's promotional and marketing costs while, at the same time, developing an independent client base.

The ISD, based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada has relocated its office to Suite 208, 5920 Macleod Trail SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2H 0K2. All other contact information remains the same.
