Southridge Enterprises Inc. announced that 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 million to $23 million.
