SIRG - a real company with real assets.
http://www.sierragroupinc.com/
SIERRA is a U.S. based mining company, headquartered in Nevada, committed to returning the Chloride Copper Mine in NW Arizona to production in early 2013. SIRG is currently working through the permitting process. SIERRA is a OTCQB (STOCK SYMBOL: SIRG) and owns 80% of the mine. SIRG plans to expand through acquisitions and JVs throughout the Americas in the near future. SIERRA is committed to exploring, responsibly and maintaining environmentally friendly policies while impacting the local economy in a positive manner that will allow its shareholders to take pride in their investment.
The Chloride Copper property consists of 37 unpatented lode mining claims and 12 millsite claims, and is located 24km northwest of Kingman, in the Wallapai District, Mohave County, Arizona. An open pit mine and the existing SXEW processing plant operated at the site from 1995 before being idled in 1996 due to low copper prices.

Paul C. Rizzo Associates, Inc. (www.rizzoassoc.com) was hired in Jan to assist with the permitting, testing, heap leach pad design and re-engineering the pit.
The Rizzo Repost was released on April 30th. It increased the reserves and they are higher than previously estimated. The existing ore below the current bench levels from 3695 to 3420 values known between 3420 and 3310 could add another 13Mlbs. Many holes were abandoned with higher than cut-off grade Cu values in and around the existing pit. Their continuation at depth could prove additional resources. Based on the forgoing, it is safe to assume that the current known resources would provide a minimum of 50 Mlbs of ore; at 5Mlb/annum, that would support a 10 year mine life.
