NMC Inc. Makes Third-Party Assays and Valuation Report Available on Its Web Site at www.nmcinc.com
LAS VEGAS, Mar 1, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NMC Inc. (Pink Sheets: NMCX) today announced the availability on its Web site (www.nmcinc.com) of assays and valuation reports pertaining to its Arizona, California and Nevada properties. In making the assays and valuation reports available, the company provided a brief explanation of the history, purpose and methodology for assays used to determine the composition of its ore. All assays and valuations pertain to the company's ore in its present form.
Over the past 10 years, NMC Inc. has commissioned literally hundreds of assay reports for its three properties located in Arizona, California and Nevada. These assays have been preformed by independent third-party assayers. Reports have been used for a variety of purposes as part of the company's pre-purchase due diligence to provide a reasonable representation of the material, the overall valuation of the ore, the quantity of precious metals at different stages of production, litigation support, and equipment testing and calibration.
There are numerous assay methods for determining the existence of precious metals in any particular sample of ore, with some methods more suitable than others for recognizing certain types of minerals. As an example, assay for a complex ore such as the Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) is conducted differently from single-element assays. This is why assayers offer a variety of assay protocols.
Sample preparation will affect the quality of an assay. An insufficient or improper sample preparation renders improper results. The process of dissolving the sample and the effective separation and detection methods are critical in the analysis of precious metals.
For the evaluation of its ores, the company has adopted an assay procedure used by the third-party independent assayers. This is not a "proprietary" method, nor is it a "secret" method. The sample is pulverized to a -200 to 400 mesh (as a reference, common talcum powder is approximately -300 mesh). It is then placed in nitric acid and simmered at 205 degrees for 4 hours.
Next, hydrochloric acid is added at a ratio of 3 parts of hydrochloric acid to 1 part of nitric acid forming an aqua regia solution. This is simmered at 205 degrees for 20 hours. The result is that the sample is totally dissolved in 24 hours at 205 degrees. The solution is diluted with deionized water and placed in a high-resolution Inductive Coupled Plasma Spectrometer (ICP). The company owns two high-resolution ICPs, namely, a Leeman PS-1000 and a Leeman High Profile Plus. Each ICP can analyze 64 elements at the same time. Also, a high-resolution ICP has more clearly defined wavelengths and more separation between and among wavelengths for clearer identification of elements.
In the ICP, a controlled plasma flame is created by argon gas. The elements present in the sample are ionized and emit identifiable wavelengths. Great care must be exercised in identifying a particular wavelength representative of a specific element. Also, given the multiple-element nature of the sample, care is required to eliminate those wavelengths that may interfere with an accurate reading. There are virtually thousands of possible wavelength combinations. Each element has 20 to 40 wavelengths. The Leeman High Profile Plus has approximately 2,000 wavelengths pre-programmed and has additional wavelength capacity. The selection of appropriate wavelengths is both a science and an art.
To assist in the interpretive process, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Institute for Basic Standards, National Bureau of Standards, has published and adopted the "NBS Tables of Spectral-Line Intensities" as the source for the wavelength values of elements.
In addition to the above, the assayers used, and the company has adopted, a fire assay approach. The sample is pulverized to -200 to 400 mesh. It is then mixed with a standard flux including borax, flour, feldspar, silica and a "collector" of tin or nickel. It is then heated to a temperature of 2,950 degrees for 40 minutes and a bead is formed. This bead sample is prepared as stated above and placed in the ICP for analysis.
Management of the company emphasized that when reviewing its assays, it is useful to keep in mind that, by the very nature of the earth's crust, each sample will vary in the elements contained. The material is not homogenous. That is the reason that samples are taken from numerous locations on each of the three properties. Samples also have been mixed together from different locations on the same property to develop composite assays.
NOTE: To convert parts per million (PPM) to ounces per ton (OZ/ton), multiply PPM by .02917. (PPM x .02197 = OZ/ton).
NMC Inc. has interests in mining and ore processing. In addition to its Skull Valley (Ariz.) claims, the company owns seven mining claims of 20 acres each in Mesquite, Nev. and 17 mining claims on 340 acres in San Bernardino County, Calif., in all of which it owns 100% of the mineral rights.

LAS VEGAS, Feb 10, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NMC, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NMCX) today
issued a statement concerning the increase in the Company's authorized number of
Common Shares to 4.5 billion, this increase in authorized shares having been
effected to accommodate possible conversion of 500 million shares of Preferred
Stock regulated under the SEC's Rule 144 that issued to Maurice W. Furlong as an
anti-takeover mechanism, in light of previous takeover attempts.
In explaining the structure and effect of the Preferred Class A stock, Company
officials noted that the Company had anticipated including an explanation of the
anti-takeover mechanism in the notes to its 2004 financial statements, but it
now reasons that to explain the Preferred Class A shares sooner rather than
later will likely prove more openly informative and less disruptive to the
marketplace.
Under Nevada law, a company acts within its rights and responsibilities to
protect itself from hostile takeover. During 2004 the board of directors had
discussed methods of preventing hostile takeover. The result of those
discussions was that on January 6, 2005, the Company filed with the Secretary of
State for the State of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation, providing for the establishment of 500 million shares of voting
Preferred Class A Stock (with voting rights of one Preferred Class A share
equaling 5 votes of Common). The Preferred Class A is convertible into Common;
provided, however, that under Rule 144, there can be no conversion for two
years. Following the two-year restriction, the Preferred Class A is convertible
5-to-1 into Common shares, at the maximum rate of one percent (1%) per quarter
of the Company's then outstanding Common shares, and 100% convertible over 100
fiscal quarters. In order to accommodate, possible but not probable conversion,
it was necessary to proportionately increase the number of authorized Common
shares so that the Preferred may be considered valid in every respect.
Conversion rights not exercised in any given quarter do not carry over into

LAS VEGAS, Jan 27, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Michael Sheppard, chairman and CEO of NMC, Inc., (Pink Sheets:NMCX), announced today the availability of the Company's unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 on the Company's web site www.nmcinc.com.
Chartered Accountants, Pannell Kerr Forster (PKF) prepared the financial statements in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States. PKF is a member of PKF International, a network of independent firms of accountants and business advisors with 430 offices in over 100 countries.
Sheppard noted that the 2003 financial statements reflect the Company's transition from development stage to a revenue-generating enterprise. This is the result of NMC's having entered into an irrevocable contract on June 2, 2003 for the sale of 137,939 tons of precious metal concentrate (approximately 26% of its Skull Valley tonnage) to a privately held company. The total contract price is $500 million over 10 years. The concentrate was sold on-site, as-is, in the pits. Sheppard said that the buyer's due diligence included independent assays of the ore concentrates conducted under the control and direction of the buyer. NMC received a first payment of $720,860 during 2003, included in these financial statements provisionally as deferred income. The second payment and the balance of the $ 11 million down payment will be paid as follows: $350,000 on or before March 31, 2005, then consecutive monthly payments of $500,000 until the entire down payment is fully paid. The remaining $489 million will be paid over a 10-year period from the date the second payment is received by the Company.
Recently, the Company's accountants were provided with documentation relating to the buyer's financial strength. The Company anticipates that as the buyer progresses along the payment schedule, further indicating its ability to perform under the terms of the agreement, payments will be treated as revenue on the income statement, and the amount of the balance under the agreement may be posted to the balance sheet as accounts receivable.
A major portion of the Company's assets include its mineral inventories in Arizona; mining claims located in San Bernardino County, Calif.; and mining claims near Mesquite, Nev. To date, NMC has conducted no significant mining activity on either the California or Nevada properties, which must be core-drilled to prove the reserves. NMC is currently negotiating toward the sale of additional Skull Valley ore concentrates and intends to use a portion of the cash flow from the sale of its Arizona concentrates toward development of its other two properties.
Recent assays commissioned by the Company on its Arizona property indicate a combination of precious metals, rare earth and common elements. The company will make more information on these assays available on its web site.
Debt of approximately $8.1 million at December 31, 2003 is attributable to amounts owed to two the Company's officers and directors, who have provided operating capital since inception.
"We appreciate shareholders' support as the Company emerges from the development stage," said Sheppard. "As NMC looks toward becoming fully reporting, it is critical that management exercise care in the preparation of information for the marketplace, and we will further appreciate the market's patience as we progress along the continuum. Recognize that the creation of long-term shareholder value and liquidity is a process to which we are committed," he said. He indicated that the Company is preparing financial statements for 2004 and is in the process of having an audit of previous years completed.
NMC, Inc., with its wholly owned subsidiary Peeples Mining, Inc., has interests in mining and ore processing. In addition to its Skull Valley (Ariz.)

Now Is the Time for Superwipes
ANNAPOLIS, MD, Nov. 29, 2004 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Superwipes, Inc. (OTC: SPWP) would like to share the following unsolicited letter composed by C. Hagan, a shareholder of Superwipes:
My opinions are based on several personal visits with Mario Quenneville at his home, office and plant, and numerous telephone discussions with Mario over a period of several years. I feel compelled to voice my opinion about Superwipes, because I have grown to respect Mario and strongly believe in what he is doing. I therefore, wish to help him get the message out to as many people as possible about the wonderfully, environmentally safe, easy to use, and quality products that Mario has created. I was not solicited to do this by Mario or by any other person affiliated with Superwipes and certainly will receive no remuneration for this article from anyone.
In general, Superwipes conceives, designs and formulates unique cosmetic and all-purpose products from organic materials with a variety of applications including fingernail polish remover, make up remover, sneaker cleaner wipes, instant shoe shine wipes, acne treatment wipes, eye glass, cleaner and defogger, car interior leather cleaning pads, vitamin E applicators, etc. (Copied from Superwipes web page)
Superwipe(R) Products are all:
*Safe to use *Organic
*Non Toxic *Non Flammable
We are dedicated to making products which are safe for the environment, products that do not release any unpleasant or unwanted odors, and products that are especially safe around children and teens.
All of our organic Superwipe(R) products can be used safely at work, at the restaurant, on the plane, on the train, in the bus, at school, in public, at a game, or while watching TV! (Copied from Superwipes web page)
Now if the above statements perk your interest, then continue to read the following:
Superwipes is a start up company that really just began on its own growth journey in July of this year, after, unfortunately, having to battle the previous CEO/ President of SMNC, Walter Davis for 2-and-a-half years in court for control of the company. Mario won that battle against very difficult odds. In doing so, his determination, and tenacity has shown through crystal clear. Not many people I know could have or would have fought such a long and arduous battle with out giving up.
So, therefore, we really begin the short history of Superwipes in July of this year at an extraordinary retail chain store convention in Hollywood, Florida, where Mario again shines very brightly for us all to see, by selling 66 out of 68 nationwide chain store contracts for Superwipes products. Chain stores that include Target, Walmart, CVS, Nordstrom's, BJ's Wholesale Store, Deckard Corporation, Walgreen, Giant Food, etc... His phenomenal success was helped by the fact that Mario hired an old friend by the name of Mike Kelly as his Director of Marketing. Mike just happens to have Offices in the Empire State Building and has over 25-years experience in the industry, the last 15 years in NY. I may add one more key person to this mix of talented individuals and that is the Superwipes Super Model and Advertising Specialist, Svetlana Melnikova. You can visit this beautiful person on Superwipes web page at www.superwipes.com.
With this extraordinary success under his belt, Mario is now faced with that daunting task of manufacturing millions and millions of Superwipe products. He signs the first order with Duane Read Drugstores, in August, and then proceeds to indeed produce hundreds of thousands of product and ships them to Duane Read. All along this process, as you can imagine, Mario runs into obstacles, upon new obstacles. (You ever try to start up a public company with such gigantic orders!). But, in each case, although it takes time and money, and a lot of strain and stress, he overcomes each and every obstacle. The product will be on the Duane Read shelves shortly.
During this first operation he hires a guy that makes 250K plus annually from a mega international company to run the daily operations of the company. Rene', who just happens to be Mario's very talented brother, is due to come on board shortly. In addition, Mario is also in the process of restructuring and renovating Superwipes, Florida-based plant and offices. He is making it more sleek to manufacture and package Superwipe products for shipping the millions upon millions of boxes he is selling and that he will eventually sell to all those retail stores nationwide.
During all this time he continues to service existing clients such Barielle, ULTA Retail Stores nationwide, and the General Store consortium in Canada, to name a few. Some of these stores sell Superwipes under their own brand name.
Now keep in mind that he has completed only the first contract order of 66 mega orders. Only 65 chain stores more to go! He now has to line up the other stores in a systematic order, determine products to be sent/sold and the timing of each. He also must initiate an automatic program system to refill orders for all items shipped, hire more people, managers. All of this is being done without receiving a heck of a lot in revenue, (his and our reward) because as most of you know, it takes about 120 days, plus, for the manufacturer (Mario) to receive its money from the retailer.
That brings me to the not so "informed investor" who wants to see financials... Now! Give me a break. That's like putting the horse before the cart, please have little faith with this process, let the company get up some sales momentum, let Rene' come on board and do his thing, let Mario fill more product orders, etc... and please remember Superwipes has 65 mega chain stores waiting in line for the product!... Now try to realize how much money that will generate... Millions upon Millions. This cash will eventually catch up to manufacturing... How long, I don't know for sure, but my guess would be 6 months...
So, my fellow investors, please have some faith in Mario, not only because he is Mario, and he has been successful to date, but, also because he has and will continue to surround himself with very good people such as Rene' Quenneville, Mike Kelly, Svetlana Melnikova, and Bill Miller, the plant manager. Also (this is the clincher! the icing on the cake!) I do not believe that 66 out of 68 "Product Buyers" from MEGA Nationwide Chain Stores could be that wrong!... Mario indeed has great products... and remember, a major important fact, that, I believe, some people fail to realize:
Superwipe(R) Products are all:
*Safe to use *Organic
*Non Toxic *Non Flammable
We are dedicated to making products which are safe for the environment, products that do not release any unpleasant or unwanted odors, and products that are especially safe around children and teens.
All of our organic Superwipe(R) products can be used safely at work, at the restaurant, on the plane, on the train, in the bus, at school, in public, at a game, or while watching TV!
The above statement, in itself, is reason to consider buying and investing in Superwipes. Now ladies and gentlemen... given that Mario never gives up and the word "lose" is certainly not in his vocabulary... I rest my case.
If you have invested in Superwipes, as I have, (actually I began investing in this company way before Mario came on the seen, way back in 1997 to be exact) then sit back and enjoy the ride. If you haven't invested, then, I believe, especially considering the rather attractive current price per share, now may be the best time to make quite an extraordinary return on your money. The ride may be little bumpy at first... but, I strongly believe, when Mario, Rene', Mike, Svetlana and Bill get this company cranked up... operating on all cylinders... Katy, bar the doors!!!

In general, Superwipes conceives, designs and formulates unique cosmetic and all-purpose products from organic materials with a variety of applications including fingernail polish remover, make up remover, sneaker cleaner wipes, instant shoe shine wipes, acne treatment wipes, eye glass, cleaner and defogger, car interior leather cleaning pads, vitamin E applicators, etc. (Copied from Superwipes web page)
Superwipe(R) Products are all:
*Safe to use *Organic
*Non Toxic *Non Flammable
We are dedicated to making products which are safe for the environment, products that do not release any unpleasant or unwanted odors, and products that are especially safe around children and teens.
All of our organic Superwipe(R) products can be used safely at work, at the restaurant, on the plane, on the train, in the bus, at school, in public, at a game, or while watching TV! (Copied from Superwipes web page)
Now if the above statements perk your interest, then continue to read the following:
Superwipes is a start up company that really just began on its own growth journey in July of this year, after, unfortunately, having to battle the previous CEO/ President of SMNC, Walter Davis for 2-and-a-half years in court for control of the company. Mario won that battle against very difficult odds. In doing so, his determination, and tenacity has shown through crystal clear. Not many people I know could have or would have fought such a long and arduous battle with out giving up.
So, therefore, we really begin the short history of Superwipes in July of this year at an extraordinary retail chain store convention in Hollywood, Florida, where Mario again shines very brightly for us all to see, by selling 66 out of 68 nationwide chain store contracts for Superwipes products. Chain stores that include Target, Walmart, CVS, Nordstrom's, BJ's Wholesale Store, Deckard Corporation, Walgreen, Giant Food, etc... His phenomenal success was helped by the fact that Mario hired an old friend by the name of Mike Kelly as his Director of Marketing. Mike just happens to have Offices in the Empire State Building and has over 25-years experience in the industry, the last 15 years in NY. I may add one more key person to this mix of talented individuals and that is the Superwipes Super Model and Advertising Specialist, Svetlana Melnikova. You can visit this beautiful person on Superwipes web page at www.superwipes.com.
With this extraordinary success under his belt, Mario is now faced with that daunting task of manufacturing millions and millions of Superwipe products. He signs the first order with Duane Read Drugstores, in August, and then proceeds to indeed produce hundreds of thousands of product and ships them to Duane Read. All along this process, as you can imagine, Mario runs into obstacles, upon new obstacles. (You ever try to start up a public company with such gigantic orders!). But, in each case, although it takes time and money, and a lot of strain and stress, he overcomes each and every obstacle. The product will be on the Duane Read shelves shortly.
During this first operation he hires a guy that makes 250K plus annually from a mega international company to run the daily operations of the company. Rene', who just happens to be Mario's very talented brother, is due to come on board shortly. In addition, Mario is also in the process of restructuring and renovating Superwipes, Florida-based plant and offices. He is making it more sleek to manufacture and package Superwipe products for shipping the millions upon millions of boxes he is selling and that he will eventually sell to all those retail stores nationwide.
During all this time he continues to service existing clients such Barielle, ULTA Retail Stores nationwide, and the General Store consortium in Canada, to name a few. Some of these stores sell Superwipes under their own brand name.
Now keep in mind that he has completed only the first contract order of 66 mega orders. Only 65 chain stores more to go! He now has to line up the other stores in a systematic order, determine products to be sent/sold and the timing of each. He also must initiate an automatic program system to refill orders for all items shipped, hire more people, managers. All of this is being done without receiving a heck of a lot in revenue, (his and our reward) because as most of you know, it takes about 120 days, plus, for the manufacturer (Mario) to receive its money from the retailer.
That brings me to the not so "informed investor" who wants to see financials... Now! Give me a break. That's like putting the horse before the cart, please have little faith with this process, let the company get up some sales momentum, let Rene' come on board and do his thing, let Mario fill more product orders, etc... and please remember Superwipes has 65 mega chain stores waiting in line for the product!... Now try to realize how much money that will generate... Millions upon Millions. This cash will eventually catch up to manufacturing... How long, I don't know for sure, but my guess would be 6 months...
So, my fellow investors, please have some faith in Mario, not only because he is Mario, and he has been successful to date, but, also because he has and will continue to surround himself with very good people such as Rene' Quenneville, Mike Kelly, Svetlana Melnikova, and Bill Miller, the plant manager. Also (this is the clincher! the icing on the cake!) I do not believe that 66 out of 68 "Product Buyers" from MEGA Nationwide Chain Stores could be that wrong!... Mario indeed has great products... and remember, a major important fact, that, I believe, some people fail to realize:
Superwipe(R) Products are all:
*Safe to use *Organic
*Non Toxic *Non Flammable
We are dedicated to making products which are safe for the environment, products that do not release any unpleasant or unwanted odors, and products that are especially safe around children and teens.
All of our organic Superwipe(R) products can be used safely at work, at the restaurant, on the plane, on the train, in the bus, at school, in public, at a game, or while watching TV!
The above statement, in itself, is reason to consider buying and investing in Superwipes. Now ladies and gentlemen... given that Mario never gives up and the word "lose" is certainly not in his vocabulary... I rest my case.
If you have invested in Superwipes, as I have, (actually I began investing in this company way before Mario came on the seen, way back in 1997 to be exact) then sit back and enjoy the ride. If you haven't invested, then, I believe, especially considering the rather attractive current price per share, now may be the best time to make quite an extraordinary return on your money. The ride may be little bumpy at first... but, I strongly believe, when Mario, Rene', Mike, Svetlana and Bill get this company cranked up... operating on all cylinders... Katy, bar the doors!!!
