Rustum Roy, one of the premiere solid state physicists, and William Moeller have

developed a potentially important process and assigned the corresponding US Patent

(7,850,759) to the Company. There was a error in the filing of the assignment but it has

since been corrected. The patent involves the use of microwave technology, and

particular frequencies, to treat certain types of refractory ore. Preliminary testing at the

Department of Metallurgy of the University of Utah has shown this technology to

increase precious metals recoveries by as much as ten-fold. Clifton will continue testing

this process with the intent of using it in the mill process and potentially licensing the

technology to other mining companies.
