IF You think about it and put it all together the Mil Expansion would have been completed Only 3 months ago and Imagine if they were Mining 500tpd for only 2 out of the 3 months... Would be Great to hear we produced 8 times as much gold as the filing before. I'm just saying. Has SRGE given us reason to Doubt them since there string of mutiple Pr's from 2011 and beyond?? I say No and I also say that The Mil Expansion is finish until They say otherwise. In another PR from MSJ it Also says The mining project at Cinco Minas Continues as before with More Expansion in the Future from the Last Feb 11th post. Just my thoughts and piecing pieces of the puzzle together!!! Keep Up the Good work Longs!!!

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - Sep 10, 2012) - Southridge Enterprises Inc. ( PINKSHEETS : SRGE ) ("Southridge" or the "Company") today announced it has begun a Multi-million Dollar expansion of its Cinco Minas Mill (CMM) located at Cinco Minas, Jalisco, Mexico. The new facility's high efficiency expansion will raise full production capacity to 500 ton per day (tpd), a more than 8 fold increase from the current 60 tpd production level, by the end of 2013.
The expanded CMM design and layout is complete and foundations are now under construction. All the major system components have been requisitioned and are confirmed for transfer and delivery to the Cinco Minas property. The required secondary facilities including buildings, electrical power, water and road access, are also nearing completion. Additionally, the CMM environmental permitting processes are moving forward rapidly and the Mexican Governmental Agencies have commented that they are satisfied with the progress and the diligent care demonstrated in the Company's environmental protocols and safety programs. The Company has taken a critical success factor approach in the planning of this major expansion of the Cinco Minas Mill by the commitment to maintaining current Gold and Silver production levels during the construction period. The CMM 500 ton per day (tpd) project, which will be developed and implemented in various phases over the following year, is scheduled for completion by November, 2013, at a total budgeted cost of $21-$23 million.
Southridge's recent $15.6 million financing, arranged within the European investment community through Duvernoi Capital Investments Inc. ("DCII"), has begun with the advance of the first tranche of $4.8 Million. The funds will be used exclusively for CMM 500 ton per day (tpd) Mill construction.
The CMM expansion is being led by Southridge's Engineering professionals and the Mill Assessment Committee (MAC). With Phase I already well underway, the project team has been carefully ensuring that quality, technology, safety and proficiency are incorporated into every aspect of the expansion. Southridge has already begun the hiring process to fulfill the construction manpower required with 18 new employees now in place. The Company expects to add another 35 employees, with a variety of skills and experience, to complete the construction workforce over the next year of the CMM expansion.
"We believe the factors driving long-term growth in Gold & Silver demand are unlikely to reverse," said Company President and CEO, Michael Davies. "The goal moving forward is to bring the Company's shareholders added value by increasing revenues, using economies of scale to reduce costs and expand our mineral resources through exploration."
In conjunction with the mill expansion project, the Company hosted a several day visit of two research and mining analysts at the Cinco Minas -- Gran Cabreara Gold and Silver Mines. At Cinco Minas, the analysts attended the ground-breaking ceremony that officially launched the commencement of the 500 tpd mill expansion construction.
Southridge recently announced that the 2012 4th Quarter Earnings and Production values at Cinco Minas. In fiscal 2012, the Company processed over 9,000 tons of ore and recorded revenues of $3.14 Million. Subsequent to the completion of the 500 tpd facility in 2013 and assuming full capacity operations and stable metal prices and grades, the Company has projected its 2014 production revenues to exceed $60 Million.
In other recent Company developments, the anticipated and long-awaited public update at the Mexican Mining Registry of the Cinco Minas mineral concession ownership being duly reflected in Southridge's name is now complete. Also, the Company had now engaged the necessary professional services to migrate and up-list the Company's reporting status back to the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. It is anticipated that this process will be complete before the end of 2012.
Additionally, Mathers Research has initiated research coverage of Southridge, with a "Speculative BUY" Opinion and a near term price target of $0.20 cents per share.
