This is a problem. The offical and legal Florida filing directly contradicts the unofficial Pink Sheets "disclosure statement". No surprise there - they often do, which is why on one should rely upon anything "filed" with Pink Sheets.
The Company had 100 million preferred shares authorized, but had until August 16, only issued 60,000,000 of them. They are Series E convertible preferreds issued to Western Sierra in 2009. According to the most recent "disclosure statement" on Pink OTC's website,
"In July, 2009, 60,000,000 shares of preferred stock were issued in conjunction with a joint venture mining agreement. The issuance was recorded on the books at a value of $.01 per share for a total of $600,000. The shares have 1-for-1 voting rights with common shares and converts to common on a 1-for-1 basis ."
However, according to the offical and legal filing with the State of Florida that was made more than 2 weeks before the Pink OTC "filing", that information is flat-out wrong.
The Florida filing officially designated those 60 million Series E preferreds, each of which is actually convertible into 15 common shares without voting rights. Not 1 for 1 with voting rights as they claim on the BS Pink Sheet "filing". That makes those already issued convertibles immediately convertible into an additional 900 million common shares fully diluted which can be converted and sold into the float at any time.
In case you missed it, here is the important language from the actual State of Florida filing:

Looks like GDSM is not being honest in their Pink Sheet "filings", are they? Especially because this little change immediately more than doubles the current fully diluted share count!
