A blast from the past from an 10/6/11 Press Release. Even back then the company was working on a share buyback program!
Southridge Announces Exceptional Trenching Results at Los Compadres Gold & Silver Property
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire -10/06/11)- Southridge Enterprises Inc. (Pinksheets: SRGE.PK - News) ("Southridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the initial results of a trenching and sampling program that was conducted on its Los Compadres Project in Santa Maria del Oro in Nayarit, Mexico.
The trenching and mapping results strengthen our commitment to this exceptional property. A new zone of porphyry copper-gold hydrothermal mineralization and a high-grade vein system with abundant visible gold were uncovered at Los Compadres. A composite grab sample of this 0.25 meter wide vein assayed 64.8 g/t Au. The vein was exposed for a length of 16 meters before it was mantled by Calc-alkaline volcanic rock. A channel sample cut above this vein and across another new zone in the immediate area assayed 18.31 g/t Au over 5.0 meters. A series of other excavations have been completed and sampled; however, as of today, assay results are yet to be received and will be announced immediately as they become available. The 2011 drill program has been delayed because of drill rig availability and it is now anticipated that this work will commence in January 2012.
In a management strategy to address the Company's low share price, increased attention has been given to finalizing the details of a Stock Buy-Back Program in order to assist in the building of a stronger share trading price point in the marketplace that more accurately reflects the asset value and potential of the Company.
Regarding other recent developments and processes, Southridge management is continuing its efforts to retire some of the restricted shares outstanding to improve the capital structure of the Company. Also, due to the success of Southridge's mining efforts in Mexico over the past six months, the Company has attracted the attention of a number of Canadian public companies that has led to discussions regarding joint venture and financing proposals. The Company is currently reviewing the proposals to decide which transactions fit the Company's future development plans in order to move forward with their completion. Details will be announced as they occur over the next quarter. Additionally, the Company's annual report and year-end financial statements are expected to be filed in the next several weeks with OTC Markets.
Southridge President, Michael Davies, commented, "Southridge is highly encouraged by the minerals results from our Los Compadres property. We strongly believe that ore from this property location could add significantly to the production values we expect to achieve from our mill on the Cinco Minas site. The results from Los Compadres will add to our negotiating position in any future joint venture efforts completed with other mining companies. On the Company equity side, management is adamant to improve the Company's share price by purchasing shares in the market and is committed to streamlining the capital structure with the reduction of the number of shares outstanding."
With metal prices forecasted to remain buoyant, properties that offer significant potential for Gold and Silver occurrence, a diverse management team, and a strong cash position, Southridge Minerals is well positioned to develop its opportunity to build shareholder value.
