Is that right - nothing wrong??? Let's see, SRGE went dark 2 years ago, SRGE hasn't filed any audited financials since 2007 and the TA has been gagged.
And on 12/06/2012 SRGE did a Mass Dilution by increasing the A/S by 50% (500,000,000 shares).
SRGE issues a press release to say they are going to issue a press release but they go quiet about the A/S increase until it has been posted on iHub.
But, you are correct all of SRGE's transgressions have been well documented.
Heck, SRGE can't produce any evidence to verify the Phantom CEO exists - I guarantee it will be shown that he doesn't exist.

If you had read the Goldcorp financials you would have seen that the All In costs were $1200/oz.
Without knowing the accounting methods used there is no way to find the exact cash costs but there is NO HIDING the All In Costs.
The Goldcorp All In cost numbers mesh nicely with the following report.
A complete breakdown of costs, an all-in cost figure, courtesy of CIBC, shows cash operating costs pegged at $700 an ounce, sustaining capital, construction capital, discovery costs and overhead at $600. Add in $200 for taxes and you get US$1500.00 as the replacement cost for an ounce of gold. Using the all-in figure provides a more accurate and definitive picture of actual mining cost and profit. Also, according to CIBC World Markets, the sustainable number gold miners need is $1,700/oz. As I write this gold is trading at $1726.00/oz.
It’s obvious that its very expensive to operate a gold mine and it’s not going to get any cheaper. The reasons behind flat-lining gold production, and record cash and all-in costs, are numerous:
Production declines in mature mining areas
Slower than expected ramp-ups of output
Development time up
The entire resource extraction industry suffers from a lack of skilled people
Extreme weather
Labor strikes
Protests
Cash costs are also a function of the accounting department and what they include and exclude. From, http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb/content/en/mineweb-gold-analysis?oid=158127&sn=Detail You can see that these costs are increasing:
Gold mine cash costs jumped 19% in H1 2012
While global gold mine production was at best flat in the first half of 2012, average total cash costs jumped 19% to a new high of $727 per ounce.

As I stated Goldcorp's Peñasquito mine in Mexico has a cash cost of $847/ounce.
Is that mine in South Africa - I don't think so - plus Goldcorp is a Tier 1 mining company.
Plus, the Cash Cost IS NOT the ALL In Cost - which is even more as you have to take interest etc into account.
Cash Cost may include smelting, refining, and any byproduct benefit, but it generally excludes taxes, exploration and depletion expenses, depreciation, and financing.
IG
PS where are the cash cost from SRGE - guess they forgot to include that in their financial statement.
Now, this is funny - you posted from http://www.sgm.gob.mx/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&seccion=Acerca&Itemid=41&lang=english
Did you take the time to realize the translation was off:
What is SGM?
Organization
The Mexican Geological Survey (SGM) is a decentralized public organism of the Federal Government with self juridical personality and patrimony, regulated by the Mining Law under the sector of the General Mining Coordination of the Economy Secretariat.
Qué es el SGM?
Organización
El Servicio Geológico Mexicano (SGM) es un organismo público descentralizado del Gobierno Federal con personalidad jurídica y patrimonio propios, regido por la Ley Minera y adscrito sectorialmente a la Secretaría de Economía a través de la Coordinación General de Minería.
Complete speculation - but it is amusing that you think SRGE is in production - PROOF???
I didn't say that we all know they were both on the properties , one for exploration the other for production.
Where did you get those numbers - as I can show you Goldcorp numbers from the Peñasquito mine where they have cash costs of $847.
But, all these numbers are accounting numbers and each company will deal with them differently. It depends on how you treat depreciation, interest..... etc and slick accountants all do it a little different.
But, either $520 or $847 is a significant amount of the net profit.
My point of bringing these numbers up was to show the DD by stervc when doing a valuation is off by a significant amount.
Also, from my previous posts on the cash costs - they rising to a significant amount that makes gold mining not as easy as some think.
IG
From previous post - I am not certain why you don't understand the following but one more time!!!
This is pretty easy to understand:
First it was the Mexican mining Site, can not trust it because the companies pay to put their info up. So YOU said its only respected if its a govt site such as a gob, .mx etc. Now that's not even good enough make up your mind, show me the one that would satisfy you????

I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THE "DD" PRESENTED BY stervc
Mexican Mining Center (MMC) has SRGE Listed as an Active Operational Mine:

How about a screenshot - what coordinates were you using - lots of unanswered questions.
WRONG satellite view show Cinco Minas Clean no jungle - no bushes.
Again, this link has no value as far as DD is concerned. You have given a link to the Mexican Geological Services. The Ministry of Economy is what governs the mining industry.
Here is a example that will make it clear - if you go to: http://portalweb.sgm.gob.mx/economia/en/mexico-mining/list-of-proyects/339-lista-de-proyectos-mineros-en-mexico.html
On page 4 you will find:
Cinco Minas & Gran Cabrera Au, Ag Exploration Jalisco Bandera Gold Ltd Canada
Cinco Minas & Gran Cabrera Au, Ag Production Jalisco Southridge Minerals Inc USA
The numbers you have posted are not accurate.
According to the World Gold Council, the average cost of mining gold is about $240 per oz. These costs will vary depending on the location of the gold and the methods needed to extract it.
In Mexico it was determined to he around $330
If confirmed on paper please post them. I took the numbers straight off the photoshopped documents and it is very odd that SRGE is nowhere to be found on the Mexican Ministry of Economy database.
It was updated as of 07/31/2012 - now when does SRGE claim ownership LMAO!!!
It seems they have claimed ownership since 2010 - but you are saying that the database is out of date by 2 years - no way. BUSTED Again!
IG
Again, there is a lack of understanding the fundamentals of Gold mining:
$800-$900 to process an ounce of gold was hilarious
$1200 Marginal Production Cost for Gold Miners Forecast by Expert
Harmony Gold CEO, Graham Briggs, agrees with Cutifani saying, from Harmony's perspective, the all-in cost to pull an ounce of gold out of the ground is around $1,250. This figure includes everything from the cost of the Harmony head office to maintenance and its exploration program which is why it is higher than the $958/oz cash operating cost figure reported by the miner at its half year results on Monday.
Similar figures cropped up in a conversation with IAMGold CEO, Steve Letwin, who told Mineweb, that a floor has developed in and around the $1,400 - $1,450 level as a result of increased costs across the industry.
"I think you hit peak gold three or four years ago. You cannot find the large deposits any more. Most of it being lower grade and in more remote locations, so it's going to be difficult for anybody to produce gold at less than $1,200/oz in terms of new discoveries," he said.
God, I love it when Sierra is used to validate SRGE as being a real company. But, this wasn't so good from Sierra:

Don't you think it would be a good idea if SRGE got to $0.01 - heck with all the HUGE, Incredible News of $600 million buyout/JV and it is still a SUB-PENNY - LMAO!!!
$10 a share is where Srge is headed.
My question is have you ever been to a gold mine or know anything about mining? I am not being a smart ass but there many wrong assumptions about mining being posted as facts.
I need to post a brief tutorial on mining and then it might stop the posts that are based on fiction and myths.
I see the supposed DD on Cinco Minas valuation and Stervc assumes 100% recovery - Goldcorp with the best equipment in the world has only a combined 67% recovery in Mexico.
Plus, the all in cost of gold mining is between $800 and $900 per ounce and this is for Tier 1 companies the cost is even higher for Tier 2. Goldcorp benefits from economies of scale, their Peñasquito mine has a mill with a processing capacity of 130,000 tpd - just what do you think SRGE's all in costs will be - $900+
The list is almost endless of the mistakes being made with the Pro-SRGE DD.
IG
Blow up the mountain and process!
SRGE states they have owned the mining concessions at Cinco Minas since 2010 -
Southridge Minerals Secures $5,000,000 Financing to Fund the Cinco Minas Gold Property in Mexico
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - 12/14/10) - Southridge Enterprises Inc. is pleased to announce that Southridge Minerals, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary today has executed an agreement with Quixstone Investments, Inc.
For those that haven't read the bandera NI 43-101 report. Here are few details you might find interesting.
However, even in light of these and other press releases touting the positive results during the program, the project was dropped by Tumi in a press release of May 18, 2005. It advised that a high strip ratio and too
long a time frame to achieve an advanced project status were the main factors in its decision. They determined that they could not establish a viable open pit or underground mining operation in the old workings.
So you say Bandera lies about everything but then you take this as gospel. Amazing - You can't have it both ways.
I am willing to bet those posting about the NI 43-101 report haven't read a word of the document.
IG
Again, with posts and nothing to verify your claims
SRGE own the mines..it is as clear as day to me! BGL own nada, zip, zero in Mexico
I believe you have been posting about institutional investors for months:

Re: None
I'd be watching SRGE real close if I were you. They just listed on the German exchange and the board of directors has acquired some very powerful and prestigious members. Rumors of institutional investors will start loading Monday as well as HUGE news is expected!!!
No problem at all - first you do know that this isn't the Ministry of Economy (which governs the mining industry) - what you provided is for the Geological Services - Oh No I-Glow has done it again!!!
Maybe you should have checked the B's and you would have found:

You know the leader for SRGE - MoMo has guaranteed that the buyout/JV is going to happen this coming week.
We will all soon find out - but I guarantee there will be a press release without any information that can be verified. But, the excuses are already being written - WON'T HAPPEN - NO BUYOUT/JV.
IG
How many public companies have a CEO without a Bio that can be verified??? The answer is NONE - unless they are a pump and dump like SRGE.
How about finding and posting just one real company that has a CEO that is a Phantom like SRGE has - I will be waiting.
IG
Pinned!
I GIVE YOU MY WORD THAT JV/BUYOUT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT WEEK BUD!!!
Hilarious, first we know every step that Bill Gates took when building Microsoft. We know his high school, his college ...
Guess what - WE KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT MICHAEL DAVIES!! I guarantee he doesn't exist!
IG
I am going to assume you think that MMC (MexicoMiningCenter.com) is in some way associated with the Mexican Government.
MMC is not the Ministry of Economy and it doesn't have anything to do with the Mexican government. First, it is a .com not a .mx site.
MMC is a paid for inclusion site - you pay them and they will include you and put whatever you want to say.
Have you ever seen a government site that has paid banner advertising.
This hoax was busted many months ago - when it was presented as thought it was the Ministry of Economy.
IG
And he has no connection to SRGE other than what the press releases say - and they have been proven to false.
Southridge Minerals Hires NY-Based Magna Group To Expedite OTCBB Up-Listing.....Magna will coordinate leading professional services and utilize established industry contacts to substantially reduce the timeline to complete the up-listing process. Magna has also has committed up to $5,000,000 in capital funding for the Company upon completion of the up-listing process.
You do know that Mexico City and Guadalajara are on Central time! It seems many think Mexico is on Lunar time - LMAO!!!
IG
Where are the contracts that show the sale and why hasn't the Ministry of Economy recognized the sale.
Why hasn't the new BOD members addressed the appointments - because they don't know who SRGE is and have no idea they are new board members.
I guarantee Enrique Aubry doesn't know anything about SRGE - I will contact him and post his answer.
IG
Why has there not been any statements from any of the new BOD members? That is very odd.
I am pretty sure there will be a press release from them any day and it will have a brand new gmail or mail.com account attached to the PR.
Those guys have never heard of SRGE and have no idea they are on the BOD.
How about some proof.
IG
Quikfix called and recorded the call - nada - nothing no answer.
Why don't you call back and have tatiana send you a email confirming that SRGE has the mining concessions.
I will be waiting - I have been waiting for 5 months for anyone to verify the CEO exists - LMAO!!!

You do realize that in a Gold mining operation silver is a by-product that is dealt with as such.
Here is an example, in the DD done on valuation of SRGE the guy doing always uses 100% recovery - in the Mexican operation of GC they have a combined recovery of 67%.
70% of silver production is a by-product of some other type of mining. There isn't nuggets or veins of silver and it is separated using electrolysis or a chemical process from gold, copper or zinc. The recovery of Silver is substantially lower than gold and is in the 20% range when mined with Gold.
Another item that is never taken into account with the pro-SRGE DD and that is the all-in cost is between $800 and $900.
With GC the cash costs are $847 - they were paid $1547/oz as this is cash costs and not all in costs they received about $700/oz. So the blue-sky picture painted by the Pro-SRGE DD/Valuation is completely wrong.
Here is a breakdown of the Goldcorp gold mine (largest in Mexico)
Gold produced (oz) 254,100
Gold sold (oz) 233,400
Ore milled/processed (t) 42,125,200
Gold grade (g/t) 0.37
Gold recovery (%) 61%
By-product cash costs(US$/oz) ($847)
Realized gold price (US$/oz) $1,576
Throughput (tpd) 86,110
Mining costs per tonne mined (US$/t moved) $1.56
Processing costs per tonne milled (US$/t milled) $8.32
Earnings from operations $376,000,000
Proven (Measured) and Probable (Indicated) Ore Reserves and Inferred Ore Reserves for the SRGE Cinco Minas property from the resource estimate done by Behre Dolbear de Mexico:
Measured/Indicated Gold = 89,100 oz
Measured/Indicated Silver = 12,500,000 oz
Gold = approximately $1,700.00+ per ounce as of 12/17/2012
http://www.kitco.com/charts/livegold.html
Measured/Indicated Gold = $1,700.00 oz x 89,100 oz of gold
Measured/Indicated Gold = $151,470,000
Silver = approximately $32.00+ per ounce as of 12/17/2012
http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html
Measured/Indicated Silver = $32.00 oz x 12,500,000 oz of silver
Measured/Indicated Silver = $400,000,000
Total Measured/Indicated Gold & Silver = $551,470,000
Then post some of the evidence - it is very easy to say something is true when you never post anything that can be verified.
Investors beware - nothing about SRGE can be verified.
IG
Please be adised that Alex Smid is still owed more than $1,000,000 and it is very odd that the press releases are still in the style of Alex Smid.
Also, SRGE came into existence shortly after SAEI was halted for doing the same thing SRGE is doing now.
They claimed Prokhorov was buying SAEI for a premium. Sounds similar to the NYSE buying SRGE.
Guaranteed Michael Davies = Alex Smid Ask the SRGE guys why they can't verify that Davies even exists. No work or education history.
You will soon see.
IG
Sounds like a PhD in SRGE promotion - Piled higher and Deeper.
Now it is a top ten NYSE company - now this is hilarious.
And now you know folks why the investment community has looked at SRGE and yawned - they are just watching the SRGE train wreck now.
IG
MoMo, I am still waiting for verifiable proof SRGE has mining concessions in Mexico. The Ministry of Economy which governs the mining industry has no record of SRGE in their database.
The "I called Tatiana..." has been proven false.
Where is your proof???
Also, since you talk to SRGE daily how about providing the work and education history for the Phantom CEO Michael Davies? A public company with a CEO that has zero presence on the internet - COMPLETE BS. The one sentence blurb on Linkedin doesn't count because again there is NO verifiable information.
Why don't you have SRGE remove the GAG from the TA so we can see what the real share structure is - after the mass dilution.
When is the UPLISTING coming - you guaranteed it was going to be here 8 weeks ago - what happened.
How about the audited financials from SRGE you know they have 5 years to catch up on foor the uplisting - LMAO!!!
How about real proof on let's see - ANYTHING - as SRGE hasn't provided any information on anything that can be verified - AMAZING!!!
