Remember this from a poster last Dec. after a monumental screw-up with distribution of shares. (see below)!

"Keep in mind Cockerel that there have been changes on the BOD since this happened and they are remedying it. This is a lack of advice from counsel not an individual director's issue or role. I also note that the BOD is actively looking to replace Clevenger for 2014, his time at the helm is on care & maintenance. It looks like 2014 will bring numerous changes for Golden Minerals including the re-emergence of gold/silver pricing, ounces in the ground re-gaining some value and a general turn in sentiment towards the whole sector. Even the view of Argentina as an investing destination is already shifting from being terrible to hopeful making El Quevar more important going forward. This will be very good for Golden Minerals who have significant cash, 2 mills, well developed mine with a new ramp, good local infrastructure and a very large resource on two properties with 40 exploration properties in inventory still."

(As mentioned above) From SEC filing on 17 Dec 2013

Mr. Clevenger surrendered to the Issuer 172,500 shares previously issued to him pursuant to the Issuer's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan,

comprised of 27,500 shares of restricted common stock issued in December 2010 that vested in September 2011 and 145,000 shares of

restricted common stock issued in December 2012, none of which had vested. The surrendered shares were issued to Mr. Clevenger in

error in excess of an annual individual grant limitation set forth in the Issuer's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Excess Restricted Shares").

2. Includes 200,000 shares of restricted common stock granted pursuant to the Issuer's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

3. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the

reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

4. The Units were granted pursuant to the Issuer's 2013 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan ("KELTIP"). Each Unit represents a

contingent right to receive on the applicable payment date, a settlement amount measured generally by the price of the Issuer's common

stock on the settlement date. Payment of the settlement amount in respect of the reporting person's vested Units is deferred generally until

the earlier of a change of control of the Issuer and the date the reporting person ceases to serve as an officer or employee of the Issuer. The

settlement amount may be paid in cash or in Issuer stock granted pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan or another plan that may in

the future be approved by the Company's stockholders. 75,833 Units were vested as of the December 13, 2013 grant date (the "Grant

Date").

Comment:

Is this the answer to finding a replacement?

"We live in interesting times"

Good Luck to all!
