Southridge is currently focused on projects in Mexico.What sets Southridge apart is its vast experience in Mexico, the geology conditions of formation of known large gold deposits that up until now have received very little attention. This way it can focus geographically and on a couple of commodities to give its shareholder return on their investment in the most efficient way possible.Forward-Looking Statements
