No, Southridge contacted Kinross trying to hawk the worthless mine. There was never any deal, JV, "Joint Partnership" or otherwise between srge and KGC for the worthless non-assets. By "worthless non-assets" I'm talking about the mining equivalent of the Brooklyn Bridge. { 8^D
When southridge tried to take advantage of the Canadian holiday to sneak in the false PR, Kinross denied it ASAP! The SEC reacted quickly and suspended srge for issuing false and misleading PRs.
Hope that helps. { 8^D
