Tosca, you may be onto something! I NEVER considered that the crops themselves could generate carbon credits.....
That's a win win win
Oh Nooooo I'm starting to sound like Charlie Sheen!! Can't be. I woke up next to a pussy cat, and he woke up next to two goddesses with ......

Field Report: read between the lines......
From Feb 9th Field report:
Doug Evans will be leaving for Sierra Leone February 15th and will return the middle to end of March. Upon his return we will Press release 1st quarter production numbers.
***************************************8
This means Doug didn't know when he would actually return. No return flight had been booked. His return date is probably based on the completion of a goal or business objective.
hmmmmm what could THAT be? I don't think it has to do with the carbon credits because that sounds like it is still on the back burner simmering. It COULD come up at any time, but it just doesn't feel like it right now.
It COULD be completion of an agricultural agreement of some kind. Maybe this PR will be much more than just an announcement of production numbers. Maybe it will not only be our first huge announcement of production numbers taking us into the land of profits, but also an anouncement of a HUGE agriculural deal in the hundreds of thousands of acres!!
I think Doug will be flying back once this deal is done and that may have already happened. The PR could happen at any time now, so if you are still sitting on powder, you'd better use it quick before you miss out. I'm already in all the way and with both feet.
all, imo, of course. But doesn't that sound about right??

I looked up John Semachko Jr in Yahoo and got a link to his "linkedIN" resume. And let me beat the bashers and house Troll to the punch and say that abosolutely NO, this does NOT mean that John is looking for a job. It's a way for people like him to connect with others.
*******************************************
John Semachko Jr.'s Summary
As President of Sierra Gold Corp my objective, what is most important to me is take a junior mining company with operations Sierra Leone and expand into a multi faceted corporation. Responsible and environmentally friendly alluvial gold mining is our main focus but not are only one. With long term land leases, operations in agriculture, combined with start up operations in the carbon emissions and biomass markets the foundations for growth are in place. I believe this can be accomplished where as all parties’ Shareholders, Sierra Leonean and Company benefit from the work done.

what a great guy!!

Charlie still VERY Long and Strong!
Roberto, that would be Great! And please let us know what he has to say. If I may...... please ask him if "first quarter numbers" means till the end of Feb, or will it include the first couple of weeks of March.
Thank you mi amigo!
Charlie
MeltingGlass, I LIKE your numbers!
And they COULD be conservative if we hit a sweet spot.
And NEXT year they could easily double with twice the number of dredges working than this year.
And there is all this talk recently about farming and the huge amount of acreage we plan to farm.
And then there is the Carbon Credits......
What's not to like about this sub-penny stock??
Charlie
I'm SOOOO glad I was able to pick up a few more shares at 20 two days ago. Good Grab!
And I KNOW what Good gravy is!!!! :)
It's when you see a Troll eating Crow with Chicken Gravy all over it. Now THAT is some Good Stuff!
Charlie
I remember, not too long ago, we were snapping up 11's and 12's and SOME of you lucky guys even got a few 10's....
The current newbies will do the same with these 20's and be PROUD to have gotten a few.
My prediction..... in a couple of years we won't be trying to hit a PENNY, nope, we will be over a quarter and more. Maybe even 50 cents.
All my own opinion, of course.
"Sluicey gonna buy, Rich Guy Island"!!
Charlie
Wow! SGCP with a ask of 20!!!! What a great sale price!
I can't help myself. Maybe this is what some women go through when they see some of their favorite stuff on a "half off sale"?!?
I've got a little something that I'm gonna sell at a slight loss just to get a little more SGCP at 20. I'm convienced that we will all wish we did EVERYTHING possible to get more at this level after the Big BOOM hits.
What an opportunity!!!
Hey Phreshmeat, got any more blood for the cause??? :)
Charlie
Grawsha, I don't doubt the 200,000 acres. John mentioned 100,000 to me, and maybe more. This isn't just from our efforts, but with the help of other big investors. The area is about the size of some small cities or counties, but still do-able with the right equipment.
Charlie
Phreash, that is my point. How can they release first quarter results if we are still going to have a couple weeks of March left? I certainly would clike it to include as much of March as possible since we are now in the ancient gravel....
Question for the board.....
We've been waiting for the production report for "the first quarter". What is the first quarter???
Our last update went to Oct 31st. A quarter is 3 months, so are we going to get a report for just Nov. Dec. and Jan.??
I hope not because we all know that the season started late and we were just processing overburden, so the results for THAT period would be very low.
and I don't think that it will be for Jan. Feb. March because Doug will be back before the end of March.....
So what is the first quarter??
Charlie
Thanks Pro-Truck.
This is what I was talking about in my call from John...
quote from Pro-Truck:
"with investment from PFO the plan is to farm 200,000 acres."
What an excellent business stratigy for us! Besides going full speed on Gold, we also have the farms.....
Charlie
Meltingglass, I LOVE your facts!!
Soon we will be able to say...
became a rich man with very little invested - FACT!
Just hit 26!!
This baby could Go ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!
Hello $H! Do you expect them to announce this in a PR soon?
tmob, my crystal balls are singing Penny Lane once the PR comes out!
lol
Charlie :)
Picture yourself on a dredge on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, your washing quite slowly
The gold is cascading in lines
Natural flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the gold with the sun in your eyes
And it’s BOOM.
Sluicey in the sky with Diamonds
Sluicey gonna find, Gold islands
Sluicey gonna buy, rich farmlands
Ah….. Ah….
Follow him down to a bridge by a mountain
Where indigenous people eat sorghum rice pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the Kiri
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper writers appear on the shore
Waiting to write you away.
Fighting them back with your facts from the crowds
And Chiefdom
Sluicey in the sky with Diamonds
Sluicey gonna find, Gold islands
Sluicey gonna buy, rich farmlands
Ah….. Ah….
Picture yourself on a warm sunny island
With half naked servers with looking glass smiles
Suddenly someone is there at the spa room
The girl with the gold colored eyes
Sluicey in the sky with Diamonds
Sluicey gonna find, Gold islands
Sluicey gonna buy, rich farmlands
Ah….. Ah….
A have a little present for all you SGCP Longs! I may not be able to contribute with all the facts and links that some of you do, so I used a different tallent.
Coming in a few minutes....
EVERYBODY SING!!!!
Charlie
That's my plan Penny's!!
I plan to be a share holder for many years to come. I've even opened a ROTH IRA and put a bunch of this cheap SGCP in there.
For those that don't already know.... you don't pay capital gains taxes on a ROTH. so Go baby Go!!
SGCP ROCKS!!
Charlie
More Eyes = More Buys!!!!
GO SGCP
and we'll all leave the Trolls alone....
Not even a cave man would believe the crap that gets written by the Trolls.
I agree Cork. I'm waiting for this great report for Nov., Dec., Jan., and now Feb. as well. I know we only recently reached the ancient gravel which is where the most gold will be found, but I'm remembering all the gold we've already reported as finding just in the overburden! So we have at least 3 months of dredging through overburden and getting THAT gold (although we know it isn't as much as the gravel is) to report.
And I also think that your right about the amount that our first report will be. I'm guessing it will be a little over 1,000 ounces.
I'm working on a new song for us to sing. Songs are best if I plug away at them and leave them, then plug away some more. I'll post it tomorrow and we'll be singing then!
Charlie (an old Beatles Fan)
There sure seems to be a LOT of post recently about SGCP's farms. Makes me think that maybe some of you called John and or Doug and asked a few quesitons about our future farming plans.... I bet these guys would LOVE it if people called with questions about farming instead of always quesitons about Gold and Diamonds.
GO SGCP!!!!!
And.....
It is entirely possible for John to post a PR while Doug is still in SL, isn't it? Doug could call in the final figures and John could post as early as tomorrow. Anything is possible and the excitement sure is spreading!
Charlie
Grawsha, believe me, John blew me away with his plan for farming. In my first conversation with him 6 months ago he told me that he doesn't talk much about farming because "it isn't as sexy as gold, so people don't want to hear about it as much".
Then a few days ago he just mentioned it in a short explanation and the scale of his plan was HUGE!! This isn't just for profit or to feed our workers, but will set up local long term employment. This will be a positive change in the lives of so many.
I'm proud!
and.... as someone as asked me to do.....
Don't just take my word for it everyone... do your own Due Diligence. A good start would be to read the web page in it's entirety at www.sierragoldcorp.com Then read the ihub intro message at http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=6600
then pick up the phone AND CALL JOHN AT

Investing in ANY stock has it's risk. You may lose part or all of your money, or have the burden of having a account worth millions of dollars. Such problems have lead people to quit their jobs before they were old enough to collect social security.
Do I hear a "Right On Charlie"! from the crowds????
Mi y mi amigos will actually learn to speak a little more real Spanish and live happily ever after on Rich Guy Island!!!!
GO SGCP AND GO TO RGI!!!!
Wow! We just hit 26!! and we've gone through an average days volume all in the first hour of trading!
got your message PreashM and I agree, but it aint a pump when you print the truth, is it?
Some people need to be lead to sucess....
Charlie
I was thinking the same thing when he told me that, but I guess that's how we got the pictures we have now.
Packing a camera isn't a priority for them. But at least now he knows that we'd like to see some more pics. Maybe if he heard it from several of us....... :)
For the NEWBIES.
John is the President of SGCP. I wrote him an e-mail suggesting that we polish and cut our diamonds to get a better price for them. I signed it with my e-mail and phone number. Our PRESIDENT called be to, in his words, "treat you with respect".
here are my notes......
**************************
John Called ME just now and we talked for over half an hour. What a stand up guy he is! He read my e-mail (I posted it here this morning) and wanted to call and answer my questions and treat me with respect because it looked like what I had to say was well thought out.
Pro-truck was right when he said that Diamonds are controlled by the Lebanese and that it is next to impossible to get any changes to this. Also, the sale of diamonds doesn’t employ a lot of locals like farming does. If we were to find a very large diamond, then sure, we might then try to get an export license (extremely expense) and get it out.
Are we dredging gravel yet? YES, in some areas, others are very close. His last update from Doug was Saturday and all dredges MAY be in gravel now, but not confirmed yet. Part of the problem is that the river deposits fresh sand overnight over the last days dredging area so the first part of the day is spent removing last nights deposits.
Do we have 6 more dredges from more JV's considering joining us? YES. They are waiting to hear from the one JV dredge we have now to see how well he does. He is doing well and feels safe and should be giving a good report to his friends that are probably going to join us next season.
It sounds to me like we have SO much mining areas that we could be mining virgin areas for the next 20 years with 30 dredges.... YES, that's true. That is why Doug concentrated on securing as many areas as possible early in the game. We pay rent on some areas just to keep other mining interest (China and others) from going there.
I asked about our discussion over the FR and the 170 g/ton clarification. It was 170 grams per ton of concentrate. He said that is really small, but gold is there. The gold in the overburden isn’t where we are concentrating our efforts. It would take several dredges a couple of days to produce a ton of concentrate, so don’t get thrown off by that 170 grams. It’s the gravel where the gold is and where we are going.
We talked about all the good things SGCP is doing for the locals and that Doug and John always bring lot of clothes and supplies with them to give away. Doug and John sometimes are the very first white people that have visited some of these villages. He has big plans for the expansion of the agriculture. I won’t disclose the number because I don’t think John was ready for that to be public, but the number of acres he is considering farming 3 years from now is HUGE. Think of multiplying the current acreage several times over.
I asked about our becoming profitable this year…. I couldn’t get him to commit to an answer because it hasn’t happened yet, but it sounded like it would be hard for us not to be profitable.
With the profits, is it true that he is planning on buying a smelter? That got him going on a wish list of things he’d like to buy! And yes, a smelter is one of them, along with tractors, harvesters, wash plants, dredges, etc.
I told him how much we appreciated the pictures and asked if he could post some new ones sometime. It didn’t sound like it would happen soon, but now he knows we’d like to see more. Part of the problem is the lack of power and the difficulty to recharge cameras.
I have NO DOUBT that our future looks bright!
GO SGCP!
Charlie
Good job PM. I think we should all re-post the good stuff us longs have been saying for months because I believe we have a LOT of newbies checking us out.
Do you think I should repost my notes from John?
Charlie
well then, it's about time!
I think that we have a lot more eyes watching us than we have been aware of. I think that there are plenty of big investors that have been waiting in the shadows doing other things with there money until we get closer to our PR.
These people are just now getting in and this will continue until the PR comes. All IMO of course.
Gotta love it when people jump in with 2 million to 4 million blocks of shares! And maybe these were partial buys from a 10 million share order....
Charlie
More Exposure!!
I was remembering how I originally found out about this stock and then made my first SGCP buy over 1 1/2 years ago.
I looked up penny stocks on this web page.
http://www.thehotpennystocks.com/
Look at the box on the right side that says "Most active Penny Stocks"
there we are again!!
More eyes = more buys!!!
Charlie
BTW - I just got home and read all the posts. What the heck happened today?? Just more people getting in?? Good for them, AND US!
Charlie
Quote: And not to be lost in the gold and diamond mix. From our last FR this month
"All crops (rice, sorghum, corn and peanuts) have now been harvested from the 1800 acres planted. In addition, the company has received the proceeds from the numerous farmers who participated in its loan programs. Preparations are under way for the upcoming farming season."
**********************************
This 1800 acres will look like a garden plot compared to what John has in mind in a couple of years! Profits could give gold a run for it's money, if there weren't so darn much GOLD there as well!!
I wonder if they have contingency plans for the dredge /wash operators for if they pull out 100 pounds of gold from a sweet spot??
Charlie
What is DNFTT??
Here is your song, Phreshmeat!
No No we aint crossin that line!
We aint sellin till we reach $1.29,
We been workin out, our grips are strong,
We are the RGI SCGPers holdin long!
We got in low when the Brokers said No
We’ve got guts so we told them to blow
A buck twenty nine is well within reach
But I aint stopping’ till I buy me a beach
Charlie
tmob, that is close to what we are doing with the JV dredge. I always thought the JV was another company (as in several employees with lots of equipment). What it sounded like is an independent owner / operator of a dredge that agrees to work in one of our areas for a take of the gold he finds. I believe he keeps 30%.
We are in contact with 5 or 6 additional owner / operators who are waiting to hear how this first guy does. Some may be coming from California.
Call John and ask. And ask him what he did with the white chicken gift. That'll get him going!
Charlie
Quote: "we longs are enjoying ourselves"
Enjoying myself??? Hooya! I'm just gettin' started here!!
I've got lots of buys for sgcp over he last year and a half. One of them is for 32,000 shares. A small number, but I stated at the time that I was going to hold onto those shares until the end and buy a very nice new car with them. It may take a couple of years for that to come true, but I truely believe that I'll do it.
I've never had a gold colored car before....... There is a first time for everything, right?
Whitefish, I hope you are correct.

As you stated, flippers depend on routine and John is more interested in a long term investment philosophy. Now that we are getting airborne, I wouldn't depend on too much more routine.
*****************************88
airborne.. hmmmmm let's go flyin'!
back in my college days that meant something TOTALLY different than now. :)
Charlie
Cork, I agree 100%. In fact, I DO plan to flip a small percentage of my position in order to grow it to a larger amount of shares.
I didn't want to split hairs with john on this, but he is actually making it easier for people to flip. We know when a PR is coming out, and that the PPS will most likely jump up. After that we won't get another PR for several months and we know what will happen to the PPS. It WILL go down. Maybe not very far, but it will go down.
So those with guts (I'm not quite there yet for anything other than small stuff) can flip and make some $$$$ or create 'Free Shares'.
Lots to consider and I'm excited about ALL of it!
Charlie
Another thing that John told me that I neglected to post...
We are going to have more concentrate than we can wash while we dredge, therefore we will be able to wash concentrate during the wet season as well as processing shoreline areas. i don't know how we plan to store the concentrate, but we will be approaching year round production.
Our little company is growing up!
He also is very aware of flippers and doesn't like people just trying to make a quick buck. He is more interested in long term growth and long term gains.
Charlie
