When do you think PR's are written?? The day it's released??? The day before??? A few days before??? The PR stated they were going to do the upgrade...Did you take it as when they do the upgrade they will still be producing??? If so, you took it out of context...

Quest Minerals & Mining Corp. (OTCBB:QMNM) (Frankfurt:QMNB), a Kentucky-based operator of energy and mineral related properties, announced today that in addition to supplying their mine with various transportation components, the Company plans to split their beltline so that it is powered by two head drives instead of just one.

Everett Hampton, President of Whitestar Mining, LLC, commented, "We have now moved our second shift into full production and added two extra man-trips to the location. This allows faster travel time to and from the mine face in order to retrieve parts; or just relocate crewmembers to other sectors of the operation. Less walking means more production. Also, we plan to split the beltline to install another head drive motor midway through the infrastructure, which will create less wear and tear over the long haul, as well as help accommodate our production goals of 2,000 raw tons per day."

AUXER GROUP: Firming-Up Merger Deal with Viva Airlines Inc.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Auxer Group, Inc., (OTCBB: AXGI) announced that the Viva
Airlines, Inc., merger is approaching finalization and the
Company is pleased to report that Viva has entered into a
$500,000 advertising and promotion contract with Joseph Tausch
Sr., and MPI of Miami to provide radio, television and print
advertising which will concentrate on creating awareness and
excitement for VIVA prior to its start of flight operations.

The Company intends to attract significant interest from the
Hispanic traveler. Tausch and MPI have been previously
contracted by others for similar services and are well regarded.

Auxer also informed its shareholders of a private news release
that VIVA issued on December 11, 2002. That announcement is
repeated as follows:

Viva Airlines, Inc., has offered a letter of intent through
Fiesta Airlines Holdings, LLC (a private consulting & management
organization) to acquire Queen Air, Aeronaves Queen. S.A. (a
Dominican Republic Corporation and air carrier).

Queen Air has the authority to operate international air
transportation of persons, property and mail from Santo Domingo,
D. R. to New York, Miami, Caracas, Madrid, Buenos Aires,
Santiago de Chile, Sao Paula, Milano, & San Juan.

Robert Scott, President and Chief Executive Officer of VIVA,
stated, "We are optimistic about the potential acquisition of
Queen Air. This acquisition along with our wet lease from Falcon
Air Express of Miami will move us that much closer to our start
of doing business. Despite the news of United Air Lines (NYSE:
UAL) filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, we believe
there are many outstanding industry opportunities available and
we are going forward with our business plan with great
momentum".

Eugene Chiaramonte, Chairman of Auxer, stated, "We are pleased
at the speed at which the Viva Airlines plan is moving forward.
Viva's plan to commence flight operations beginning in March of
2003 looks very promising. We are confident that this merger
will provide shareholder value".
