DESERT DIRT INDEX VALUES AS OF MAR 31, 1999: NOTE 1: For the year of 1999 through March 31, MGAU's stock price is up by 293%, MXAM is up 193%, GPGI is + 27%, NAXOF is + 18% and CHIP is -15%. A basket of the five stocks is up approximately 100% on the year, depending on the particular indice. (Keep in mind, of course, the disastrous year 1998 and that this assumes a fresh investment on Jan 1, 1999 without accounting for the 1998 losses.) NOTE 2: DD NEWS -CHIP did not have a PR during the month but in an EDGAR filing the company revealed that it was shifting its focus away from DD mining to European Internet activities. Since CHIP represents less than 2% of the DDI, it is being retained at the present time rather than recalculating the DDI without it. MGAU had 3 Press Releases. The March 3 PR indicated a 1 ton sample from the Sinagua Cinder Cone was currently being treated using J-L technology and that a pilot plant was to be constructed at the Sinagua site; marble quarry operations were continuing to increase and were expected to be cash positive in March; also that the company expected to complete acquisition of J-L by end March. On March 15 MGAU announced that pilot plant construction commenced March 8, and on March 31 the company confirmed that it had completed the acquisition of the J-L technology related to assay and recovery of precious metals from refractory ore. MXAM on March 2 referenced several USGS reports with information that could be relative to the occurrence of precious metals at its' Peoria site. Additional information has been posted on the company's web site. NAXOF had 3 PR's also in March. On March 18 the company announced that the 1-ton per hour pilot plant at Franklin Lake was complete and operations were underway and that they expected to be running at optimum efficiency by early May. On May 23 the company revealed that it had been cleared of all ASC charges, with the only individual found guilty of wrongdoing being former President Jimmy John; on that same day the company also revealed that a dissident shareholder group was attempting to hold a special shareholder meeting in early April but that the company was contesting the legality of the meeting.

Puke, Puke, Puke--Just Jack! ... I cleaned up'ed the mess, but .... what we need is not promise, but results I need not to know the source of the ore only the results for the company continuous checks from the refiner to the company (from GPGI Web Site) "An initial sample shipment was sent to Sabin Metals Inc. last week. Four additional samples will be sent today. We should receive their analysis reports before the end of March." Mike McKay Facilities Manager << The discussion of "head ore" makes me want to puke! >> If what counts are the exchange of ore for money, and if the results from Sabin Metals is this connection, then why discuss "head ore" test results when the above web site discussion of ore sent to Sabin does not mention "head ore" ? (from GPGI Web Site) "A letter to shareholders will be mailed tomorrow. An abbreviated version will be released to the business wire on Monday. The full text of the letter will be posted to this web page on Monday. The additional time will allow a more detailed report, which will include the results from Sabin Metals Corporation which are impressive."
