SilverCrest maintained its strong balance sheet through disciplined cost management and securing a $40 million credit facility with Scotiabank. SilverCrest will continue to focus on delivering strong operating results and optimizing our operating cash flow as we complete the Santa Elena Expansion and increase production in 2014 to approximately 3.3 million to 3.6 million silver equivalent ounces (Ag:Au 60:1)."
Fourth Quarter ended December 31, 2013
During the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a one-time non-cash deferred tax accounting adjustment of $5.8 million as a result of the enactment of the Mexican Tax Reform. The Company has taken the position that the 7.5% mining royalty is an income tax in accordance with IFRS for financial reporting purpose, as it is based on a measure of revenue less certain specified costs. On substantial enactment, a taxable temporary difference arises, as property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets have book basis but no tax basis for purposes of the royalty. The Company has recognized a deferred tax liability of $5.8 million as at December 31, 2013 in respect of this royalty. This deferred tax liability will be drawn down to $nil as a reduction to tax expense over the life of mine as the Santa Elena Mine and its related assets are depleted or depreciated.
Net loss was $4,094,410 ($0.04 per share basic) for the fourth quarter compared with net earnings of $13,616,028 ($0.14 per share basic) in 2012. The net loss in the fourth quarter was primarily attributed to lower revenue resulting from significantly lower realized prices and the non‐cash deferred tax accounting adjustment of $5.8 million as a result of the recently enacted Mexican Tax Reform.
Silver and gold revenue totaled $12,866,617, (2012 - $18,243,732) in the fourth quarter. Silver sales were a quarterly record of 208,200 ounces including capitalized underground ounces (2012 - 171,714), 21% higher than the same period in 2012. The foregoing, combined with a 37% lower average realized price at $20 (2012 - $32) per ounce, resulted in 23% less silver revenue. Total gold sales were 8,220 ounces includes capitalized underground ounces (2012 - 8,444) or 3% below 2012. The Company sold 6,576 (2012 - 6,755) ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,250 (2012 - $1,706) per ounce. The foregoing, 27% decline in realized price, combined with a decline in the ounces of gold sold, resulted in 29% less gold revenue. The Company delivered 1,644 gold ounces (2012 - 1,689) under the Sandstorm Purchase Agreement at $350 per ounce.
Cost of sales amounted to $5,185,211 (2012 - $5,156,489). Cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold amounted to $7.68, Ag:Au 61.6:1 (2012 - $8.05, Ag:Au 55.6:1). The decrease in cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold is driven generally by lower mining contractor costs related to a reduction in waste removal. As the Santa Elena Open Pit nears the end of its life, the strip ratio dropped to 1.63:1 in the fourth quarter compared to 3.07:1 for the same period in 2012.
General and administrative expenses increased by 37% to $2,885,989 (2012 - $2,208,355) primarily due to an increase in remuneration and other corporate expenses. Remuneration increased by 37% to $1,581,482 (2012 - $1,158,076) with the addition of new corporate personnel in Q1, 2013, and higher bonuses paid in December to management and employees. Tradeshows and travel increased by 184% to $331,601 (2012 - $116,768) due to an increase in trade show attendance and an accelerated investor relations program. Mexico corporate expenses increased by 47% to $259,488 (2012 - $176,440), with additional tax, legal and corporate activity.
Current income tax expense amounted to $1,580,000, compared to a recovery of $3,494,000 in 2012. For fiscal 2012, the $23.2 million Hedging Facility cash settlement was deductible for Mexican income taxes. Deferred tax expense amounted to $5,420,000 (2012 - $781,000), primarily attributed to a non‐cash accounting adjustment in relation to the Mexican Tax Reform. On December 11, 2013, the Mexican government enacted a tax reform to introduce a mining royalty effective January 2014.
Year ended December 31, 2013
Net earnings were $8,479,263 ($0.08 per share basic) for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $30,475,744 ($0.33 per share basic) in 2012. The decrease in net earnings was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue resulting from lower realized prices and lower gold sales combined with higher tax expense recorded compared with 2012 (attributed to the eligible deduction for income tax purposes in 2012 of the Hedging Facility cash settlement and the non‐cash accounting adjustment in 2013 of $5.8 million in relation to the Mexican Tax Reform).
Silver and gold revenue totaled $54,893,651 (2012 - $70,520,085) for fiscal 2013, which includes $53,354,062 (2012 - $63,456,934) received on a cash basis.
SilverCrest sold 751,633 ounces of silver including capitalized underground ounces (2012 - 588,312), 28% higher compared to fiscal 2012. The foregoing, combined with a 27% lower average realized price at $23 (2012 - $32) per ounce, resulted in 7% less silver revenue for the year. SilverCrest sold 30,487 ounces of gold including capitalized underground ounces (2012 - 34,834), 12% lower than fiscal 2012. From this total, the Company sold 24,389 (2012 - 21,383) ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,392 (2012 - $1,703) per ounce. The foregoing, 18% decline in realized price resulted in 7% less gold revenue than in 2012. The Company delivered 6,097 gold ounces (2012 - 6,967) to Sandstorm at $350 per ounce, and, as the MBL Hedge Facility was settled in 2012, there were no gold deliveries (2012 - 6,484) at $926.50 per ounce.
Cost of sales amounted to $19,895,374 (2012 - $18,307,681). Cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold amounted to $7.78, Ag:Au 60.5:1 (2012 - $7.39, (Ag:Au 54.3:1), 2013 corporate market guidance estimate was $8.50 per silver equivalent ounce, (Ag:Au 55:1). The increase in 2013 cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold was driven by higher mining contractor costs, higher processing expenses, and greater general administrative costs from annual salary and benefit increases for mine site personnel.
All-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold was $13.05, Ag:Au 60.5:1. Company guidance for 2013 was $13.45 per silver equivalent ounce sold.
Current income tax expense amounted to $5,450,000 (2012 - $4,156,000), which relates to the estimate of annual tax payable from Santa Elena operations. The Company has paid a total of $4.7 million related to 2013 income taxes, $3.1 million by offset of Mexican value added taxes receivable, and $1.6 million by offset of 2012 income taxes refund. Deferred tax expense amounted to $7,418,000 (2012 - $1,261,000), primarily attributed to a non ‐ cash accounting adjustment of $5.8 million in relation to the Mexican Tax Reform and recognizing an income tax deduction on 2013 Santa Elena exploration drilling and related costs, which were capitalized for book purposes.
Exchange loss on translation to United States dollars amounted to $1,989,460 (versus an exchange gain of $561,523 in 2012), due to the significant weakening of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar during fiscal 2013. The financial results of the Company’s Canadian operations were translated at US$1.00 = CAD$0.9949 at December 31, 2012, and US$1.00 = CAD$1.0636 at December 31, 2013.

Authentication/ Cybersecurity Breaking News: NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD) Patents the "Un-Password"

SHELTON, CT - March 20, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announced today that it has submitted a patent application for dynamic pairing. As a follow up to U.S. provisional patent application No. 61/802,681, NXT-ID has filed patent application 14/049175 for

THE "UN-PASSWORD™: RISK AWARE END-TO-END MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION VIA DYNAMIC PAIRING.
This patent represents advancements in biometric and cryptographic authentication, and another key technology to NXT-ID's widely anticipated next generation payment and identity product -- the Wocket™.
Dynamic pairing addresses several vulnerabilities facing current authentication methods. These include "brute force" attacks, where attacking computers systematically check all possible passwords until one is found, and "man in the middle" attacks, which caused the Target and other recent retail data breaches where the attacker impersonates each end point to the satisfaction of the other.
"We wanted to develop a method where devices could establish trust with one another, but without exposing any private information that could be used in an attack or identity theft," says David Tunnell, CTO of NXT-ID. "Instead of passing private, identifiable information about an individual over the internet, we send dynamic pairing codes that contain hidden risk assessments. Each new risk assessment measures how sure 'you are who you say you are' based on multi-factor authentication such as biometrics. Since each new risk assessment is dynamic and hidden within the dynamic pairing code, it makes cyber attacks extremely difficult and easy to detect, while enabling authentication and encryption across remote devices and services."
Dynamic pairing is flexible, easy to implement, and brings a high level of trust to transactions without sharing any private information that could be used for cyber attack. With dynamic pairing, private data is kept private, under the control of the owner of the data where it belongs so that your identity cannot be stolen, while still enabling other systems to trust the authenticity of a user, device or application.
"We believe dynamic pairing could change the way access is given in a vast number of applications and help to prevent substantial losses in the financial payments industry," says Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID. "Dynamic pairing can make a significant difference in identity management and secure communications while enabling individuals to keep their critical and private information from being stolen. Our first application of this innovative technology of course will be our Wocket™ Smart Wallet."
Wocket™ is a new biometrically secure smart wallet designed to replace the traditional wallet and the number of cards consumers carry. Its dynamically programmable magnetic stripe, NXTCard can replace up to 20,000 cards and can include medical records, ID, coupons etc. that are currently kept in a wallet, with one single secure card. Wocket will feature interchangeable accessories, which are direct attachments, to offer various styles, textures and colors to support a variety of common uses including carrying cash. Wocket™ is a smart wallet that can completely replace your existing wallet with more functionality, comfort, style and security.

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) and Exosome Sciences Expand Brain Research Discoveries to Include Isolation of Glioblastoma Biomarker and Therapeutic Target

SAN DIEGO - March 19, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), and its diagnostic subsidiary, Exosome Sciences, Inc. (ESI), announced today that researchers have isolated brainderived exosomes released into the bloodstream from aggressive brain tumors. Through the use of proprietary size exclusion/lectin/antibody-capture techniques, the Aethlon-ESI research team was able to identify, quantify, and characterize circulating Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) exosomes, which hold promise as both a disease biomarker and therapeutic target as GBM exosomes are shed into the circulatory system to promote tumor growth and stimulate angiogenesis.

"Building on our proprietary method to identify, quantitate and characterize brain-derived exosomes, we now have the ability to detect this aggressive cancer early and aid in its treatment," stated ESI Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Douglas Taylor.
Aethlon Medical develops therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease, cancer and other life-threatening conditions. The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first in class medical device that addresses a broad-spectrum of viral pathogens as well as tumor-secreted exosomes that promote cancer progression and suppress the immune system of cancer patients. Aethlon is currently preparing to launch the first FDA approved clinical study of Hemopurifier® therapy in the United States. ESI was established by Aethlon to develop non-invasive exosome-based "liquid biopsies" that diagnose and monitor acute and chronic disease conditions.
GBM represents the most common, per capita costly and uniformly lethal primary brain tumor. GBM comprise 23% of primary brain tumors in the US and is the most commonly diagnosed brain tumor in adults aged 45-74 with men being more frequently diagnosed than women. The prognosis remains poor despite aggressive treatment modalities. Over the past decade, a median survival time of 12 months has only been marginally improved to 14.6 months as a result of advances in chemo/radiation and the use of molecularly targeted agents. Beyond being a candidate target for Hemopurifier® therapy, the discovery of circulating GBM-exosomes offers a potential new paradigm in GBM clinical management through a platform technology to predict tumor regression or progression.
"The ability to characterize disease specific exosomes in circulation will enable improved diagnosis to identify type and grade of these most challenging of brain tumors and may additionally help to advance novel treatment strategies," stated Dr. Cicek Gercel-Taylor, Clinical Research Director at ESI.
To date, there have been two critical barriers to successful GBM treatment. First, there currently is no method for evaluating the dynamic changes in GBM during therapy. Standard imaging approaches do not provide metrics of tumor-specific genetic/phenotypic changes and operative information is expensive, potentially morbid and limited by errors in topographic sampling. Second, clinicians, lacking tumor-specific parameters, are unable to effectively monitor responses to therapy over short time frames. These limitations are derived from the difficulty in obtaining repeated biopsies of tumor tissue, and the confounding effects on tumor MRI of necrosis, inflammation, surgical artifact and edema. Additionally, the appearance of GBM by current imaging techniques is not specific, since other lesions such as abscess, metastasis, and other entities may have a similar appearance. As a result, clinicians have not been able to adequately evaluate therapeutic agents designed to target GBM. The objective of the Aethlon-ESI team is to extend and improve GBM patient quality of life by resolving the clinical challenges of monitoring patient response to both established and candidate therapies.
Earlier this month, the Aethlon-ESI research team disclosed that it was also to isolate brain-specific biomarkers that could have implications in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The research studies provided evidence that exosomes can serve as a "liquid biopsy" to diagnose neurologic conditions. While exosomes from the central nervous system have previously been identified in the cerebrospinal fluid, the Aethlon-ESI study identified exosomes carrying brain-specific markers tau, beta-amyloid, glycoprotein A2B5 and S100B protein in the peripheral circulation of affected individuals. The discoveries provide a basis for an exosome-based platform that could enable the simultaneous identification of multiple brain specific markers that are transported across the blood-brain barrier and into the circulatory system.
CTE is a progressive degenerative disease, which at present can only be definitively diagnosed postmortem. CTE has been most commonly found at autopsy in former professional football players and has also been demonstrated to be prevalent in soldiers exposed to blast injury. The hallmark of CTE is the accumulation of tau, an abnormal protein that strangles brains cells in areas that control memory, emotions and other functions. TBI or repetitive brain trauma, including concussions and sub-concussive blows to the head contribute to the onset of CTE.
AD is the most common form of dementia. There is no cure for the disease, which worsens as it progresses, and eventually leads to death. Beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles have long been recognized as a common pathologic hallmark of AD. In 2010, it was estimated that 36 million people worldwide were living with AD.

TSX Mining News: GARIBALDI (TSX.V:GGI) BROADENS MINERALIZED CORRIDOR AT GRIZZLY, PREPARES TO ACCELERATE 2014 EXPLORATION PLANS

Vancouver, British Columbia - March 14, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) Garibaldi Resources Corp. (TSX.V: GGI; OTC: GGIFF; Frankfurt: RQM) (the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to report that recent reconnaissance work carried out over western portions of its Grizzly Property in the Sheslay Valley, northwest British Columbia, has identified a new zone of porphyry copper mineralization 3 km south of its Grizzly West porphyry target and 3 km west-southwest of Prosper Gold Corp.'s Pyrrhotite Creek prospect in an area referred to as West Kaketsa. Garibaldi is the largest landholder among juniors in the Sheslay district and controls approximately 26,200 hectares in claims. The results of this program suggests potential to significantly broaden a NW/SE trending corridor of porphyry targets that extends for over 30 km through the Sheslay Valley from the western end of the Grizzly Property through Grizzly Central to the recently announced Grizzly East expansion claims.

Given highly encouraging results in the western and central parts of the Grizzly Property, Garibaldi is accelerating its 2014 plans at the Grizzly by launching an aggressive Phase 1 exploration program to include detailed mapping, geochemistry, IP surveys and drilling. The initial stages of this work will commence in the next few weeks and the results will determine the scale of a planned Phase 2 program. Garibaldi is in a strong working capital position and is looking forward to advancing the Grizzly Project concurrently with its assets in Mexico.
"The importance of the discoveries recently announced by Prosper Gold and Doubleview Capital Corp., located approximately 10 km apart on properties within the Sheslay corridor, is the scale of mineralization over such wide distances. Confirmation of another significant porphyry target area several km south of Grizzly West underscores the world class potential of this growing mineralized Cu-Au porphyry corridor in the Sheslay Valley," explained Steve Regoci, Garibaldi President and CEO. "Garibaldi has captured more than 50% of this very prospective corridor with multiple targets already identified from Grizzly West to Grizzly Central through geophysical and geochemical surveys. We're very excited about advancing the Grizzly to a first-ever drilling stage."
West Kaketsa Mineralization Similar To Grizzly West, Pyrrhotite Creek
The extent of the newly discovered mineralized area at West Kaketsa is yet to be determined but it's located approximately 1 km north of the historic West Kaketsa prospect (B.C. Minfile # 104J-024) and appears to be related to a fault that extends at least 3 km to Pyrrhotite Creek on the eastern flank of Mount Kaketsa. Garibaldi's upcoming program at the Grizzly Property includes plans to further define this new zone with IP surveys and identify potential drill targets.
Petrographic analysis of mineralization from both the West Kaketsa and Grizzly West prospects has confirmed that both areas exhibit classic porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization including hydraulic brecciation, disseminated chalcopyrite and intense alteration within a hydrothermal environment. Garibaldi's reconnaissance work identified the new mineralized zone while following up on an encouraging airborne magnetic and radiometric survey completed last fall over western portions of the Grizzly Property.
The airborne survey confirmed that West Kaketsa, like Grizzly West, is in a region of strong magnetic activity and structure, the latter indicating faults and fractures in the intrusive bodies favorable for mineralizing fluids along the contact zones of the Mount Kaketsa monzonite granodiorite stock. Historic technical reports describe porphyry mineralization at West Kaketsa as being similar to mineralization observed at Pyrrhotite Creek. Prosper Gold has reported that Pyrrhotite Creek is a large mineralized zone with multiple porphyry targets located 3 km southwest of the Star porphyries in the SW corner of its Sheslay Property adjoining the Grizzly.
Grizzly West
Last fall's airborne survey shows that Grizzly West is on the periphery of a large magnetic anomaly, in a similar setting to targets on the adjoining Sheslay Property. A soil geochemical survey has defined several strong copper anomalies open in multiple directions at Grizzly West with the grid covering an area approximately 1.5 km x 1.5 km. Fieldwork at this target has confirmed historical reports (Corona Resources) of mineralization with reported grades ranging from 0.20% Cu to 6.7% Cu in rock chip samples.
Maps – West Kaketsa & Grizzly West
Maps showing location, sampling areas and full results from recent work completed at West Kaketsa and Grizzly West are available on the Garibaldi web site at www.GaribaldiResources.com.

Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
