ALPINE, UT, April 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - Mining Operations After a difficult winter, the snows at Clifton have melted and Desert Hawk Gold Corp. is ramping up production at the Kiewit project.  With the infrastructure fully in place and a good bit of only partly-leached ore already on the pad, this year should see a significant increase in gold production.  Rick Havenstrite, CEO of Desert Hawk, estimates they will [...]
