Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (OTCBB: EVGI) announced on October 13, 2011 that its strategic funding partner has requested an extension of time for the funding of $15.3 million financing to EVGI.  EVGI previously announced in its press release on September 12, 2011 that it had received a firm letter of commitment from a private funding group.  The commitment letter and copy of the MT999-1 bank verification provided by the funding group called for the $15.3 million in funding for the Company in the form of a three-year loan bearing eight percent (8%) interest.  In addition, the funding group would receive approximately 20% of the Company through the purchase of preferred stock at $2.50 per share. Upon full conversion of the preferred stock they will receive 11,760,000 shares of common stock.  As announced by the Company on September 22, 2011, the funding group determined that it is in their best interest not to fund the Company via a loan, but through a Stock Purchase Agreement for 6,140,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock from the Company at $2.50 per share, bearing an 8% coupon.  All other terms of the funding remained the same and can be seen on the Company’s EDGAR filings.

The funding was scheduled to close on or before September 28, 2011.  The funding group has requested that EVGI grant them an extension to close until October 28, 2011.  This request is due to the restructuring of their financial institutions and their desire to increase their funding needs to include the construction of a precious metals extraction facility owned and operated by EVGI built exclusively to process their ore.  This extension is in no way reflective on EVGI.  EVGI has fully performed and is simply waiting for the funding partners to deliver as per the agreement.

The full text of the Press Release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Press Release will also be posted in the Investor Relations section of our website (www.ecoventuresgroup.com) under News for a minimum period of 14 days following the date of release.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


ECO VENTURES GROUP STRATEGIC PARTNER REQUESTS
EXTENSION OF TIME FOR FUNDING

Groveland, FL – October 13, 2011 Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (OTCBB: EVGI) announced today that its strategic funding partner has requested an extension of time for the funding of $15.3 million financing to EVGI.  EVGI announced in its press release on September 12, 2011 that it had received a firm letter of commitment from a private funding group.  The commitment letter and copy of the MT999-1 bank verification provided by the funding group called for the $15.3 million in funding for the Company in the form of a three-year loan bearing eight percent (8%) interest.  In addition, the funding group would receive approximately 20% of the Company through the purchase of preferred stock at $2.50 per share. Upon full conversion of the preferred stock they will receive 11,760,000 shares of common stock.  As announced by the Company on September 22, 2011, the funding group determined that it is in their best interest not to fund the Company via a loan, but through a Stock Purchase Agreement for 6,140,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock from the Company at $2.50 per share, bearing an 8% coupon.  All other terms of the funding remained the same and can be seen on the Company’s EDGAR filings.

The funding was scheduled to close on or before September 28, 2011.  The funding group has requested that EVGI grant them an extension to close until October 28, 2011.  This request is due to the restructuring of their financial institutions and their desire to increase their funding needs to include the construction of a precious metals extraction facility owned and operated by EVGI built exclusively to process their ore.  This extension is in no way reflective on EVGI.  EVGI has fully performed and is simply waiting for the funding partners to deliver as per the agreement.

“It is unfortunate that this request is necessary, but with this delay comes the potential to expand our production with the construction of this new facility,” said Randall Lanham, CEO of Eco Ventures Group.  “In the mean time, our 5,000 ton per year precious metal extraction facility is operational, on track and we are continuing to process ore,” added Lanham.
