September 14th, 2005 Clifton Mining Co. OUTSTANDING LEACH TESTS FROM THE KIEWIT GOLD ZONE Dumont Nickel, DNT-V, has reported excellent test results on leaching material from the Kiewit gold zone, averaging recoveries in excess of 90%. These are outstanding results, especially for a relatively low grade deposit. These results have positive implications for the future of the deposit. First, higher recoveries increase the effective size of the deposit, as more of the gold is recoverable. Second, higher recoveries lower the cost of production, as the cost of mining and processing is spread over a larger number of ounces. We are highly encouraged by these results, and note that Dumont would not have undertaken these metallurgical tests unless they were seriously considering production from this zone, which has the potential to contain several million ounces of gold. Clifton trades on the U.S. OTC: (CFTN).
