Signals Bloomberg exec in talks to run New Corp's Dow Jones

Signals Bloomberg exec in talks to run New Corp's Dow Jones RELATED QUOTES Symbol Price Change NWSA 18.88 +0.06 TRI.TO 27.80 -0.14 APKN.PK 0.012 0.00 TRI 27.82 -0.10 (Reuters) - Rupert Murdoch's News Corp is in 'serious talks' to poach veteran Bloomberg LP executive Lex Fenwick to run its Dow Jones publishing business, which houses the Wall Street Journal, according to two people familiar with the discussions. Fenwick, who founded Bloomberg Ventures in 2008, was previously chief executive of Bloomberg LP, taking over from the company founder Michael Bloomberg in December 2001. Wall Street Journal reported news of the talks earlier on Friday. The top job at Dow Jones has been vacant since last July when then-Publisher and Chief Executive Les Hinton resigned in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal at News Corp's UK newspaper unit, which had previously run. Hinton told a UK parliamentary inquiry in 2009 that any problem with phone hacking at the company's papers was limited to one case. It was later revealed that thousands of ordinary people and celebrities had been the victims of the voice mail hacking. Hinton, who worked with News Corp for 52 years, was perhaps Murdoch's closest associate. Bloomberg and Dow Jones compete with Thomson Reuters. (Reporting By Yinka Adegoke; Editing by Steve Orlofsky)

Southridge Announces Major Multi-Million Dollar Expansion of Cinco Minas Mill to 500 Ton per Day (tpd)

Marketwire   'Press Releases'

DALLAS, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 09/10/12 --
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.

(AP Photo/Richard Drew, File) NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks are opening mixed after an increase in unemployment claims dampened optimism about strong bond auctions in Italy and Spain. The Dow Jones industrial average is off 13 points at 12,436 in the opening minutes of trading Thursday. The S&P 500 index is down less than a point at 1,292. Nasdaq composite fell a point to 2,709. The Labor Department said applications for weekly unemployment benefits spiked last week, mostly because companies let go of thousands of holiday hires. Retail sales barely rose in December, but the 8 percent gain in 2011 is the largest percentage increase since 1999. Most markets in Europe are higher after strong bond auctions in Italy and Spain.
