I called Southern Copper's IR department today at (602) 264-XXXX and asked about them buying SRGE. The person on the phone, a female stated when I asked about a buyout of a gold mining company, she asked which company was I talking about (which is what she should have done). She didn't say no comment or all rumors are baseless she wanted a specific company so she could give a accurate answer. I told her Southridge Minerals - she said emphatically that all rumors about Southridge are completely baseless.
I certainly wasn't questioning nodummy but I wanted to see what IR said when speaking directly to them.
I had telephoned the Phoenix office previously and gotten a similar response from another department. But, on the SRGE board someone claimed to have gotten a "no comment" response.
Maybe the caller asked another question such as, Does the CEO still beat his wife?" Answer, "no comment".
