David:

Thank you for your kind comments. I can't personally do justice
to your question, because while I know of ACMG, I really know
very little about it.

While I have the opportunity, I would like to comment on Clifton.
I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Bill Moeller, president,
and have the following update.

1) 24 hr production: should start by next Wednesday (Feb 18),
and will get 250 tons/day for a 90 day test period, after which
they will analyze the results from a financial view-point.

2) Adequate funds have been raised for the 250 ton/day plant and
now attention will be directed to the production, and once
it is ongoing, and with an anticipated rise in the stock price,
additional financing may be necessary to comple production
of the larger mill. Initially, 750 tons/day was the goal for
this mill, but technical improvements in the design will allow
them to increase the production to 1000 tons/day. The financing
just raised will enable the company to increase rock processing
so as to eventually produce enough to support the mill's
throughput.

3) On the 24th of February, the stock will be trading in the U.S.
in real-time, rather than having the single daily quote. This
will allow more U.S. brokers to trade the stock.

4) The silver and lead ore that is being produced has no
contamination with arsenic, antimony, or mercury, and this
makes the ore product a lot more desirable for smelting.
It reduces greatly the cost, because otherwise, those
metals, if present, would have to be removed, and as I understand
it, this adds a lot to the expense of processing the ore.

5) Consequently, the Clifton product is in great demand, as there
is truly a shortage of silver available for delivery, world-wide.

Dan
