Clifton Properties into Production

Clifton Mining's (CFTN) Partner, Desert Hawk Gold Corp,, has completed its $5MM funding to place the Clifton Properties into production. DHG has also received the permits necessary to begin mining and milling. They have upgraded and doubled the size of the Cactus Mill, and they are currently moving waste in anticipation of the commencement of milling operations this month. DHG anticipates full scale commercial production by October 2010. DHG will begin tuning the mill with other ore, for which Clifton will get a percentage, while mine development finishes on the Clifton mineral deposits.
