SDRC made decision to sell concentrates at this stage instead of refined/pure gold product as a quicker and cheaper path to revenue.
The company has figured that refining will be more time consuming as the entire batch will need to be shipped to wherever the refining will be done, and too expensive for the reward before they have built a refining facility of their own. It's a no-brainer until that can take place. The only thing is, in order for a buyer to accept concentrates, they will need multiple certificates of analysis from multiple labs accompanying the sale that certify the gold and silver content of the batch they are buying from. We saw 1 of 4 certificates that will accompany these particular batches of concentrates and we should expect the will also be to provide 4 sold for each sale from each future batch. Once the company gets those back, I think we will soon after see an announcement of their first gold sale.
Opinion / Projection:
Before the year is over, SDRC will have become cash flow positive, paid back all debt to management, issued a dividend to shareholders, initiated a stock buyback campaign, expanded their processing capacity, put wheels in motion to build a refining facility, and if the aforementioned raises the price of the stock enough, they will undergo an internal audit, bring their SEC reporting up to date, and hire a firm specializing in NYSE or Nasdaq IPO with the intent to do just that.
It's now or never for a company in this position. A new junior gold producer amid an unfolding gold bull rush.

Huggy bear, a renowned frequenter of iHub boards since 2009, thinks that SDRC flying equipment up the mountain via helicopter is necessarily a deceptive gesture. The idea being that just because a company evidently spends money, invests in equipment, hires workers, constructs a mine, etc, it doesn’t mean that it’s not a scam. This would especially be if the scam is making, or will make, a lot of money for the so called scammers.
Duly noted. Are you also assuming that the magical high-grade gold ore stockpiles that are being processed this year were placed in the forest, adjacent to SDRC’s claims, and the land subsequently staked, was a deceptive gesture as well?
The only thing here is, that the “scammers,” so to speak, are investors themselves. No preferred shares are under control by the CEO or anyone close to him. No current member of management has EVER unrestricted any of their shares in SDRC. If this gold selling scam is indeed to benefit the management, it will necessarily benefit the shareholders by proxy until circumstances change, and I see no sign of that yet.
It looks to me the highest incentive for management is to generate real cash flow and earnings for the company. It looks to me that if management were to achieve an “exit event” it would necessitate much higher liquidity than the stock is experiencing now, at a much higher stock price. It looks like their timeframe has gone years beyond most typical P&D schemes, and as efforts continue, is way more likely to produce a sustainable trend of growth.
Some people think the stock market as a whole is a scam. Or the US government. Or car dealerships. Or insurance. Or Walmart… Or anything else that makes money for that matter…

Gold breaking all time highs over $2300/oz.
SDRC has been processing their gold stockpiles all winter, testing their systems, modding or swapping out equipment as they go, with an intent to expand. They have also indicated some kind of report will be presented with independent accredited acknowledgement and will accompany first production numbers.
This is one hell of a time to become a new gold producer. The underlying commodity is experiencing a major generational breakout, creating nothing but wider profit margins and optionality going forward for this company, their endeavors in the surrounding districts, and pursuits beyond mining such as their technology development. They're discussing buybacks, dividend distributions, as well as continuing their trend of aggressive expansion as the breakthrough balance sheet gets logged perhaps as early as q4.
I swear, not only gold producers, but explorers, everything remotely gold related, every gold stock, even the filthy scams will catch a bid if this bull market in gold miners takes off. A tidal wave of money is coming into this market that will meet or exceed expectations of the bulls and will go on to meet or exceed imaginations. Find your gems now before the noise becomes overwhelming. Needless to say, I'm liking the risk/reward of SDRC quite a bit here.

Q4 FY2023 Disclosures have been released on OTCMarkets:
In summary, and in my opinion, Sidney Resources Corporation's Q4 2023 quarterly filing shows a strategic approach to leadership, strengthening their network, efficient project development, and transparency. I do, however, have a few criticisms in the interest of strengthening investor confidence, and validating the company's market positioning and value proposition.
"Our exploration efforts at the Warren District Mine Project revealed five substantial ore stockpiles adjacent to the project location, totaling 25,000 tons of high-grade ore. Bulk sampling, which involved systematic grab sampling from various regions within these stockpiles, yielded impressive gold grades ranging from 0.72 to 1.78 ounces per ton (oz/ton) Au. A 50-pound bulk sample demonstrated an exceptional concentrated gold grade of 117 oz/ton Au, equating to an approximate bulk grade of 2.925 oz/ton. The estimated average gold grade across the stockpiles stands at a substantial 1.81 oz/ton Au.
These stockpiles are estimated to contain a total of approximately 45,250 ounces of gold, with a current market value of approximately $91,712,700. Sidney Resources Corporation now holds control over these valuable resources through placer and lode claims secured immediately after discovery. Additional small batch crushing and processing of this ore material revealed visible wire gold, with initial milling and smelting results indicating a gold recovery rate of 90 grams per 1,000 pounds of feed."
The mention of systematic grab sampling and the results obtained (gold grades and estimated gold content) indicate some attempt to address concerns related to non-representative sampling, sampling bias, and the statistical validity of their grade estimations. I think it will be crucial to supplement this with much-needed details on the methodologies used.
We should bear in mind that the breadth of such sampling efforts can still be showcased in the impending public release of assay results from Florin Analytical Services. My hope is that this has gone beyond the awaited assay report from a 50 lb bulk / 1oz concentrated sample. It should also come in the form of a public breakdown of quality control measures, and further third-party validations, or comparisons. I understand that Steve Dobson, WFEM’s geologist, who has not been mentioned with a specific accreditation yet, has ensured the integrity of such sampling process. Then again, "$91,712,700" is a lot of money to just find on the ground in the woods outside, so SDRC has no reason to spare expenses in adopting an effort to establish this figure as a proven reserve / on their balance sheet. This would necessarily entail directly and thoroughly addressing possible concerns about statistical validity and sampling bias, and a near term indication of this would be to read of the company's plans to engage with accredited independent third-party experts for verifying their sampling strategies and ore grade calculations. What happened to the work they announced with Pete Ellsworth PG/QP? Such a thing further enhance confidence, and put them in the much better standing that they deserve with the larger players in this industry.
Additionally, expanding on the specifics of how environmental and sustainability goals intersect with mining operations, particularly in terms of reducing the carbon footprint and improving water quality, could complement the technical and operational efforts to ensure the company's long-term viability and appeal to ESG-focused investors, and broader mining-industry standards.

There are instances where clarifying terminology is crucial for clear communication. This is not one of those scenarios.
The video is indeed about milling because the lode material must be crushed, dried, and pulverized before it reaches that table, and in this case, that milling setup is successfully feeding that table automatically.
The math to determine bulk grade will be supported via third party assay, but I maintain, they should validate their processing methodologies with an independent third party prepared comparable. We can only hope.... but regardless, money will be flowing soon, which I reckon, will positively impact the stock's value.

I maintain that the confirmation of bulk grades (from both the historical stockpiles and the mined vein) will be the most significant catalyst for this company in near term. Whether that will be achieved by logging revenues with a verifiable amount processed, or by some kind of independent-third-party comparison to their own processing methods, along with independent-third-party assay, this is a key time for this business. The beginning of cash flow results from either scenario, so as many of us are waiting for a bottom line, it will soon only be a matter of how sustainable it will be before more expansion will be needed, and they aren't going to wait to run out of ore before they do that. So far they have expanded and progressed their projects very cheaply. Just imagine what they will do after gold sale's begin, now maintaining a spot price of over $2000/oz.
The company is racing an uphill battle better than most in this class run downhill. The ratio of dilution to results far outclasses anything else I've seen in this industry on USOTC. It was even confirmed today that the trading float now matches the number of unrestricted shares.... a fertile time for a surge in buying volume to resume the stair-stepping trend into higher highs and higher lows....

I know you Gitreal. You use semantic arguments primarily as a diversionary tactic. You nitpick over the language used instead of engaging with the substance of the discussion or argument, ie, SDRC's accomplishment of getting their milling setup working and showing its successful operation as it automatically feeds their concentration setup. Perhaps you do this simply to shift the discussion to a topic where you feel more comfortable or knowledgeable. Perhaps you wouldn't care to comment on the significance of the new developments in SDRC's processing, or maybe you would, but definitely not before establishing that the proponents of SDRC's work are less knowledgeable than Thou, oh King of Unnecessary Clarifications.

Dear Jackass,
The conduit from the ball mill is feeding the shaker-table, so the milling is indeed up and running.
If you're about to insist that milling only includes the crushing, drying, and pulverizing of lode material, then no, that's what's on the other side of the wall, shown in previous videos from Sidney, as seen here, feeding the shaker table in the foreground. What you see in this particular video is the process of (gold) concentration, of which, I am about to be educated by Gitreal, should not also be included in the broader term of "milling."
...I need to keep reminding myself that we are in the company of smart-asses that will jump at every opportunity to argue semantics, in order to steer the discussion away from the company's performance... 🤦

Let's take a look at this mornings video from SDRC.
Here we have Steve Dobson, the geologist from Western Frontier Exploration (a Third Party Contractor of Sidney Resources Corp) chipping off vein material underground to be sent off for a lab assay at Florin Analytical Services.
The video was 1 minute long, but was noted to have been recorded on the morning of the 31st, immediately after Gitreal last accused the company of basing projections off of "statistically invalid sample results." How these samples are chosen, nor how many samples will be collected before the company releases lab results, hasn't been made clear yet, but it looks like these particular samples are selected and gathered visually. From the looks of the video, and based on the sampling size recommended from the labs, this will also be collected in 5 gallon buckets until 50 lbs is attained. They will then crush and concentrate that down to a 1 oz sample to send to the lab. I am wondering if they will have FAS do some of these for them in order to compare theirs with a 3rd party’s so to simultaneously measure the effectiveness of their concentration process?
Anybody can ascertain information about FAS’s process of lab analysis, lead times, and what kind of reporting of results we can expect by going to Florin Analytical Services’s website. All their info and forms are public, and their process looks to be as thorough and good as I would expect any metallurgical lab to be. Lead times for sample analysis are typically 7-10 business days upon receipt but rush service can also be ordered.

It was November 8th that SDRC said they sent out the samples for analysis of the stockpiles, “taken from multiple regions, including the top, middle, and toe sections of each of the five stockpiles.” These are separate from the vein material showcased today. If testing has been ongoing since then, SDRC must have collected quite a bit of assay data already. It looks to me that we should be getting a detailed report sometime soon synthesizing all this data together. A preview of this can be found on FAS’s website, under the title of “FAS QA/QC Procedures”

In the interest of a stronger SDRC, this is no time to celebrate or derive validation from price.
Success in stock price is a product of establishing expectations; a recent example being the promotion of gold sales projections, dividend distributions, continued expansion, continued proving of mineral assets, and a continued raising of this company's standards for disclosure, accreditation, and credibility in order to fit in with larger players in this industry. Management's success will be in meeting or exceeding those established expectations.
Sean, in reference to the Twitter post below, I understand you began with SDRC as a retail investor yourself. On Twitter, you straddle a line between being both a giddy investor but also a CEO. I see these in conflict somewhat. To me, seeing a member of management celebrating or deriving validation from price, before fulfilling the expectations IR has established for the business, sends the message that the product your company is selling is not the gold per se but the growing number of shareholders themselves. You should not be focused on selling liquidity. That all comes later after getting the real job done, which is selling gold - necessarily to the degree that expectations were established.
That being said, as a shareholder, personally, I would be dishonest if I said I wasn't happy to watch the stock price steadily rise as it has over the past few years. I stay invested as I affirm that the company's product is indeed gold. As a thank you to me for the trust I offer you as a continued shareholder, I will accept that you continue improving and growing in line with your established expectations, and most importantly, continue nurturing the integrity of your product.

See the blue squares? That's your chat history on this board, dork.
If someone picked up shares at closing price on the day of your last pathetic and histrionic post of 2019 to current closing price, they are up over 1200%
But look at that first little spurt of posting activity of yours in 2019, calling for the end of this stock, for it to only take off over 20x to all time highs of .50. You are an absolute loser, and it's mentally sick that you show your little overused IHUB handle on this board in 2024.

Bro stfu lmao, "unreported share have increased" what does that even mean? Your M.O. is to make stuff up.
Anyone with a paid IHUB subscription can go check for this fabrication of yours themselves under Postings by RetroSpect to Sidney Resources Corp (SDRC).
Like only you know when the "dilution faucet" turns on because a lying goofy like you knows no one can independently verify exactly when or who is selling shares into the public float, so you can spout off claims unchallenged (so you think).
10/3/19 and 12/21/19 you lied about SDRC going to do a reverse split and then stopped posting as price went up until you reared your lying head back in to start yapping about how ugly the chart was, with price 4.76x higher since you last posted!
That Gitreal actually answers you directly discredits him too, so good job for that Retro.
No one actually interested in this stock should listen to you, and Gitreal out here communicating with you like you aren't a clown makes him guilty by association, clear as day.
Here's a receipt. Eat your words.

I 100% agree with you on these points, though, not with your baseline assumption of fraud and your years-gone displayed motivation to take down any otc mining stock anyone sees fit to promote bullishly on this platform.
The company should address these points thoroughly, in writing, and qualify them under a PG/QP title. They have in some sense verbally at the recent shareholders meeting, which wasn't even meant to be recorded nor reproduced at first. They, during that meeting, explained why they don't believe drilling is worth it for instance, though they didnt expand upon why their sampling efforts to quantify what they have would be done to such a limited degree. These should be ongoing, and for all we know they are, but I agree 100% that 1 x 50 lb sample to quantify such a massive amount of ore is one hell of a judgement call.
I brought up some of these points myself in email (like the question of proving out their assets further and the question of why no feasibility study before investing millions in equipment) multiple times over the years and had been ignored outright, or left for someone other than the company to rationalize on their behalf (like under what circumstance would they pursue SEC reporting status.) I reserve prejudice when I speak on these subjects. I am an investor, not their IR guy, and nor is anybody else on these platforms. To their credit, Sean the CEO has become more active on Twitter, but something about his approach of validating the hype, strikes me as a little too classic otc if you know what I mean. I would rather see accredited expertise qualify statements instead of reposts of investors wide-eyeing through their DD.
The answers I did get, shared a common theme. They all came down to cost and a commitment to not dilute shareholders unnecessarily. I appreciate this, as buyer interest is maintained during the onset of revenues, but an aspect of this doesn't make sense to me too. If we are valuing these stockpiles in such extraordinary dollar values, why is the cost to prove them out treated as so prohibitive? Shouldnt they pursue bankability at least for finance purposes? The company has been operating these sites for so many years now, why the urgency to production like it's now or never? Also, why promise such a heavy dividend during a time when all in cost is so unclear?
You get paid for the risk you take, that's all I'm going to say.
