Mining Stocks News: SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Provides Update of Santa Elena Transition

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - June 18, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) is pleased to provide an update on the commissioning of the new 3,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”) milling facility and processing plant and progress of underground development at its 100% owned Santa Elena Mine in Sonora, Mexico. The commissioning of the new mill commenced May 1st, 2014 and it is projected that continuous nameplate production of 3,000 tpd will be achieved by the start of August. Underground development continues with over 4,500 metres completed to date on ramping, ventilation and ore development. For additional information and to view photos and videos of the mill, the processing plant and the mine site, please visit the Company’s website at www.silvercrestmines.com.

N. Eric Fier, President and COO stated, "The mill start-up in May was a significant milestone in the development and responsible growth of the Company. We are confident that our projected early August completion of commissioning of the mill and ancillary facilities will be on schedule. The commissioning effort continues to be supported by highly experienced field engineers from FLSmidth & Co., who supplied most of the major process plant equipment. The Company is nearing the completion of its three year, $100 million Expansion Plan which is expected to be completed on budget and with minimal delay. The capital expenditure budget for 2014 is $26 million with $7.5 million remaining to be spent mostly for underground equipment and development. The remaining capital expenditures are expected to be completed in early Q3, 2014 which will allow free cash flow from operations to be generated for the balance of 2014."
Santa Elena Mine Update:

• Residual leaching of the leach pad continues and is expected to provide silver and gold production through at least July, 2014.
• During the first six weeks of commissioning, the average mill throughput of reclaimed leach pad material ("pad ore”) was approximately 1,000 tpd on an intermittent basis as the CCD thickeners and belt filters were being tested and fine-tuned.
• The mill and ancillary facilities have run for extended periods so that the first gold and silver metal recovered from the milled pad ore is scheduled prior to the end of June 2014.
• Over 4,500 metres of underground development has been completed including ramping, ventilation and ore development on five levels. Approximately 53,000 tonnes of development ore has been mined, project to date, with 41,500 tonnes delivered to the leach pad and 11,500 tonnes grading Au 1.17 g/t and Ag 98 g/t in stockpile awaiting mill processing. Blending of underground ore and pad ore for processing is scheduled to commence in July.
• The new long-hole drill arrived at Santa Elena on June 12 th, 2014. All underground production equipment purchased by the Company (1 long-hole drill and 3 LHD’s) is now on site. As planned, SilverCrest personnel will carry out all underground production mining from stopes while all development work will continue to be done by a contractor.
• Key underground positions have been filled with highly experienced people, several of whom came from Mexican operations where similar mining methods to Santa Elena are employed. Company underground mining personnel are in place and are being trained to start stope production on the 575 level in July.
• Underground close-spaced definition drilling is underway to better define reserves for initial and longer term stope production. Initial results from this detailed drilling reconcile closely with the underground reserve model. Results will be announced once compilation is complete.

As forecast, the Company expects Q2, 2014 production during the transition to be lower than Q1, 2014 production as the open pit heap leach production phases out and the mill facility ramps up to full production. Current market guidance of 3.3 to 3.6 million AgEq ounces for 2014 remains unchanged since the second half of 2014 is heavily weighted with significantly higher metal recoveries ( 92% Au and 67.5% Ag ) and full production through the mill. Market production guidance will be reviewed for possible changes once mill commissioning is complete and underground production is underway.

Mining Stocks News: Q&A with Mr. N. Eric Fier, President and COO of SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC); Expansion Plans for Mexico

New York, NY - Point Roberts, WA - June 16, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) Investorideas.com staff: Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including mining issues an exclusive Q&A interview with the President and COO of SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC). Mr. N. Eric Fier discusses the recent commissioning of the new 3,000 tpd CCD-MC processing plant now underway at its 100% owned Santa Elena Mine in Sonora, Mexico and the company's expansion plans moving forward.

Q&A Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
Eric, the company recently announced the commissioning of its new mill at the Santa Elena mine. Can you give investors a deeper insight as to the significance of this milestone and how it is key to transitioning from a junior to a mid-tier precious metal producer?
A: N. Eric Fier, President and COO
The commissioning period for the new mill started on May 1 and is for a period of approximately 3 months. With the success of this commissioning, production will increase 25 to 35% over last year and potentially another 10 to 20% next year. This growth profile moves us closer to being a mid-tier producer.
Q: Investorideas.com
With junior mining companies facing a big downturn due to dropping commodity prices and reduced margins, it's a tough environment in current conditions. Your first quarter reflected the overall condition of the market but you stated the commissioning of the new 3,000 tpd mill positioned you to continue to generate strong operating cash flows in H2 2014, with continued strengthening of your cash position of $54.5 million at March 31, 2014. Silvercrest seems to have a successful track ahead in spite of the market. Can you elaborate on your magic formula for success and finding the silver lining so to speak, in spite of what is happening around you?
A: N. Eric Fier, President and COO
Success formula is based on;

1. A responsible phased business model, start small and grow through cash flow that minimizes capital risk
2. Don't over commit the company on capital expenditures with respect to acquisitions in a good or bad market
3. Executives have skin in the game and interests of shareholders
4. Location, location, location - ease of access to a project goes a long way to minimize risk

Q: Investorideas.com
For Investors that are more familiar with your flagship property, Santa Elena but unaware of your other properties, can you give some insight as to your plans for the new Ermitano property?
A: N. Eric Fier, President and COO
We have been working on low-cost property acquisitions around Santa Elena for about 1.5 years. This includes the newly-acquired Ermitano concessions located adjacent to the Santa Elena Mine. Ermitano currently consists of 3 targets (main, East and Southeast). All targets are grassroots with no previous drilling and appear to be similar geologically to Santa Elena. Grades at the surface range from trace to 8 gpt gold and trace to 600 gpt silver. Our plan is to drill these targets over in 2014. All of this is considered organic growth potential.
Q: Investorideas.com
Can you elaborate on your production/ expansion plans for 2014 now that you have raised capital and commissioning of your plant is underway?
A: N. Eric Fier, President and COO
Our focus is the get to nameplate mill capacity of 3000 tpd which is a nominal rate. We will be testing up to 4000 tpd capacity in 2014 with no additional capital requirements. Underground development will continue as sustaining capital for the next 8 year mine life. We are estimating free cash flow (FCF) to start in August 2014.
Q: Investorideas.com
They say in the mining industry the key factors of success for a mining company are
a combination of assets, location, management and balance sheet. How would you rate your company based on these four, from your strongest position to your weakest?
A: N. Eric Fier, President and COO
These vary over time; we are currently near the peak of success on all four criteria for the junior producer status and looking to build on these factors for the next stage as a mid-tier producer.
SilverCrest Mines Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVLC; TSX: SVL) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest's flagship property is the 100%‐owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a high‐grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with an estimated life of mine of 8 years and operating cash costs of $11 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au) for the open pit heap leach and underground mine. SilverCrest anticipates that the new 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility at the Santa Elena Mine should recover an average annual rate of 1.5 million ounces of silver and 32,800 ounces of gold over the current reserve. Major expansion and construction of the 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility is nearing completion and is expected to significantly increase metals production at the Santa Elena Mine (open pit and underground) in 2014 and beyond. Exploration programs continue to make new discoveries at Santa Elena and also have rapidly advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State, Mexico.

Biodefense Q&A: PositiveID's (OTCBB: PSID) Chairman and CEO Discusses Progress with Bio-Threat Detection Technology and Revenue Guidance

New York, NY - June 16, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in research for independent investors presents an exclusive Q&A interview with Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID), a developer of biological detection and diagnostics solutions. Mr. Caragol discusses the current status and opportunities for its bio-threat detection technology and recently announced revenue guidance.

Q: Investorideas.com
On May 27 th you released a corporate update on your contracts for M-BAND and Firefly technologies. Can you give investors the highlights?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
We are very proud of what we have achieved so far in 2014. Our major accomplishments include forming significant partnerships with commercial and federal government organizations, and importantly, revenue generation. In summary, we entered into a contract with a large commercial partner to support a U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) contract and test our M-BAND system, which will provide revenue to the Company of $841,000 through September; we announced one of our teaming partners was awarded a prime contract by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency to conduct research and development to combat weapons of mass destruction; and, more recently, we signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA’s Ames Research Center through which NASA will assess our Firefly technology for potential ground and space applications. When you look back at our releases, the commercial and government partners we are working with are a true “who’s who” in the fields of security and detection.
Q: Investorideas.com
At this point do you see more interest in your M-BAND or Firefly Technologies for contracts and revenue streams and can you give some insight as to why?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
We continue to see interest in both M-BAND and Firefly. M-BAND, which stands for Microfluidic Bio-agent Autonomous Networked Detector, has more of a targeted, albeit significant, opportunity through anticipated multi-billion dollar government programs to detect airborne biological weapons of mass destruction. On the other hand, we believe Firefly, our point-of-need, handheld, molecular diagnostic device, will be able to be used in a multitude of industries, including military/government applications, healthcare and even agricultural applications. As you might expect, these are very large markets as well.
Q: Investorideas.com
Your latest press release on June 11th announced your first ever revenue guidance of $4-10 million. You also stated that $3.3 million is backlogged. This is obviously a transitional period for the company in several ways. Are you starting to see a perception change from the financial community?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
I think we are. We are seeing more interest from strategic partners who see the potential of our products and the markets we are pursuing. The fact that we are generating revenue from a large commercial partner under a government contract and technology license is also noteworthy. We have the ability to execute, our technology and IP portfolio is strong, and we believe we have the partners in place to win major contracts.
Q: Investorideas.com
As a small company receiving contracts from large government agencies including U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Health and Human Services do you attribute your success to the technology or your partnering or both?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
I think our partners are a direct reflection of the quality and differentiators of our technology and the strength and experience of our management team. We are very gratified by the partnerships we’ve established and believe they provide an important validation of what PositiveID has to offer.
Q: Investorideas.com
In May you announced signing a Space Act Agreement with NASA's Ames Research Center to collaborate on testing the Company's Firefly Dx detection system ("Firefly") as a platform for biological research and commercial development for ground and space applications. Can you give our readers the significance of this collaboration and what it means moving forward?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
When an organization with the respect and recognition that NASA has earned wants to work with you and further the development of your technology to see how it may help them in their specific endeavors, it is significant. As we pursue opportunities with other government and commercial entities, having a group like NASA standing by our side makes people take notice. Having third-party support, especially when it comes from a group of world-class scientists, is very important for a small company like PositiveID.
Q: Investorideas.com
In closing, it seems like the company and technology are gaining momentum and traction from some very high profile institutions and agencies; do you think that is a reflection of a renewed sense of urgency to address bio-threats or is it a matter of going through the system and reaping the long term rewards?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Unfortunately, we’ve witnessed global events that underscore the danger posed by biological weapons of mass destruction. That said, there definitely is a heightened focus on the need for bio-threat detection, and a pick-up in government procurements for these technologies. At the same time, however, it’s not simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time. We have worked diligently to create the necessary partnerships to successfully capture the opportunities ahead of us.

Tech Media News: NXT-ID (OTCQB: NXTD) Demo's Wocket™ Smart Wallet Financial Transaction

SHELTON, Conn. - June 13, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc., (OTCQB: NXTD), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing m-commerce market, releases a video of the next generation smart wallet, Wocket™, designed to replace all the cards in your wallet, executing a financial transaction.

Mr. Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID, Inc. explains step-by-step how to make a Wocket transaction:
"All your important personal information is secured on a tamper-proof encrypted chip on your Wocket, so if you were to lose your wallet, there is no payment information available to be stolen. Using your Wocket is simple:
1. To access a card for payment, you would first verify your identity by using a spoken password (Wocket recognizes your voice), or by entering a PIN or image on the touch screen.
2. Touch the drop-down menu at the top left of the screen. You will see a list of categories such as debit, credit, loyalty etc. and select the appropriate category.
3. Choose the card you wish to use on the touchscreen and remove the WocketCard from your Wocket.
4. Swipe your WocketCard as you would any regular credit card.
Wocket is also capable of producing a "wocket number" which is a one-time use encrypted card number to prevent skimming attacks and protect your private card information. This technology can also be applied to online transactions, making card processing much more secure using today's existing payment infrastructure."

WOCKET LAUNCHES INTO WAITING MARKET; NXT-ID (OTCQB:NXTD) Company Update by SOUNDVIEW RESEARCH

June 12, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Summary: The WocketTM was officially launched on May 28th at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. All the feedback we received from attending suggests that consumers who get a chance to see and understand it, immediately want one. It’s a viable way to deliver something consumers can use as a digital wallet that is secure, private, and able to handle all their payment, identification, and loyalty needs. The Wocket is really a wallet replacement, and the functional demonstration worked very well. We’ll be monitoring the progress and consumer reaction very closely over the next few months with an eye to validating our IV model, which currently suggests a stock value of $11.70/share. We have also extended our forecast to arrive at a projected IV in 2015 of $20.55.
Additional Details: As a prelude to what will be a more active marketing phase, the event included attendance by the media, investors, analysts, and Miss Universe 2012, which added a special level of energy and media attention.

Former Miss Universe 2012, Olivia Culpo, displays the Wocket

In addition to elaborating on the key features, there was a live demonstration of using the Wocket to do a typical transaction by swiping the card, just as one does with a standard plastic debit or credit card.
Online preorders are available with first units shipping to consumers in September at a price of $149.99, plus some optional services for customers that require additional protection.
Wocket is NXT-ID’s replacement for a conventional wallet. The heart of it is the device itself which securely stores cards digitally – that covers virtually all of the important cards consumers carry in a wallet today, including credit, debit, ATM, loyalty, gift, ID, membership, insurance, medical information, and coupons. Wocket locks a user’s private information in an electronic "vault" where only an authenticated owner can authorize access to the data. The case provides some space for cash and a driver’s license.
As concerns continue to mount in the U.S. and around the world about identity theft and data hacking, the timing of the launch of the Wocket helps NXT-ID channel media attention into their marketing strategy. The Wocket addresses the important issues not adequately addressed currently by smart phones and other mobile devices.
The biggest advantages are in authentication and security. The Wocket uses biometric technology to provide identity protection and security. All information used with the Wocket is encrypted by the owner’s personal biometric stamp. NXT-ID is a pioneer in biometric technology, and the Wocket incorporates some of the most advanced biometric technology on the market (see our report, "Mobile Security Beyond the Password, for an in depth discussion of the technology). The device protects whatever information is stored in it so that it cannot be released to any other individual or device without the user’s permission.
All payment cards and other dynamic stripe cards are swiped directly into the Wocket during the initial set-up process. Barcodes and text, such as voter’s registration, loyalty and/or membership cards, may all be scanned or entered into the Wocket. All information is encrypted by the owner’s personal biometric stamp and can be accessed via a low power touch screen or optionally, a voice command.
Information is placed on a tamper-proof encrypted chip inside the Wocket rather than on anywhere in the cloud. Any attempt to access the encrypted chip will result in destroying any information stored on it.
If a Wocket or Wocket card is stolen, the company can guarantee that the Wocket is worthless to anyone besides its owner. The security technology incorporated by the Wocket zeroes out any relevant information on the card dynamically after each use. Hence, the card used with the Wocket becomes a blank piece of plastic to a thief. For added peace of mind, NXT-ID will be offering customers an insurance plan for stolen, misplaced, or lost Wockets.

The Wocket Smart Wallet

The Wocket can securely store up to 10,000 items including – debit/credit/loyalty/gift cards, health information, coupons, and miscellaneous records.
Battery life is expected to be one year or more, depending on frequency of use. A light will appear on the device weeks before the battery is due for replacement, so users can replace the conventional lithium ion battery that is widely available at a variety of retail stores around the world.
NXT-ID has an FAQ section on the Wocket website that addresses key questions and issues associated with the device (see: http://wocketwallet.com/).
NXT-ID has started taking pre-orders for the Wocket on their website, with plans to ship the first devices in September. Unlike many digital devices on the market today, the Wocket is being manufactured in America. NXT-ID is planning a significant promotional campaign this summer to increase customer awareness and drive more pre-sales.
Sales Projections and Intrinsic Valuation: Over the past year we’ve seen plenty of data showing that there is strong desire for a device like the Wocket. Consumers are still waiting for an actual product to buy and use. Initial sales volumes will depend on initial orders, and initially, on the ability of NXT-ID to ramp production and manage some longer lead time components.
After a review of our current projections and intrinsic valuation (IV) model, we don’t see anything that needs to be changed. However, extending the projections and model out an additional year allows us to publish a 2015 IV estimate of $20.55.
Our current estimate for sales in 2014 is 40K units, which grow fast in later years to reach nearly 1M units in 2018 and 1.5M units in 2019. These unit projections are still very low considering the small penetration rate needed to generate those numbers. If the Wocket is successful, unit growth can be much faster. Many investors were surprised by how quickly new categories like the iPad reached large numbers of units after consumer adoption. We won’t have any real visibility on these longer term projections until 2015, but have a credible working forecast to start with.
Although digital currencies are not the initial focus for the Wocket, we were impressed with the figures showing consumer adoption of bitcoin wallets grew from under 500K to over 5M in one year!

Conclusion: The official launch of the Wocket has certainly increased our confidence in the IV model shown below. As consumers begin to use the device in the real world, we’ll know much more.
There’s huge demand to use digital payments and have a secure digital wallet that is easy to use and genuinely safe. Consumers are nearly clamoring for it. Although other companies have done Kickstarter campaigns and showed slick videos, the NXT-ID Wocket will be helping to define this market in the next few months.
The stock has been holding steady after a major post-IPO run, but our IV clearly shows there is far more to go if the Wocket is delivered on time and consumers have a good experience with it.
