American Clean Resources Group, Inc. (OTC: ACRG), a domestic critical minerals and precious metals processing company, today announced that it has received a Letter of Intent from Elko Heat Company ("EHC"), acting in its corporate investing capacity, under which EHC has confirmed its commitment to use commercially reasonable good-faith efforts to arrange and provide up to $40 million in joint development capital.
