BRADENTON, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 04/12/12 -- Management at Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (OTCBB: SFMI) would like to make reference to its current fully diluted share count, 789,162,405.
Since the publication of its 3rd quarter results, share dilution increased from 344,966,817 to 789,162,405.
The Company's 10-K published for the Year-Ending December 31, 2011, states under "NOTE 15" of the financials, a breakdown of current share issuances, http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1464830/000109181812000111/sfmi0410201210k.htm
Management wants shareholders to understand that the majority of the shares issued operate under Rule 144 and Section 16 US SEC rules, which are restricted from free-traded.
The breakdown between free traded shares and RESTRICTED shares are as follows (Please: reference NOTE 15 on the Company recent 10-K Filed, April 11, 2012).

TOTAL 266,469,444
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- As of 2/21/2012 the Company had a street FLOAT of 298,731,191-reported by CEDE & CO
- Certified shareholder count of 177,726,147 held in certificate form.
- Total outstanding on fully diluted basis, as of 03/13/2012, is 789,162,405.
Of the total 789,162,405 outstanding on fully diluted bases, the Officer/Directors/Major Shareholders held approximately 233,000,000 under RESTRICTEDRULE 144 and SECTION 16. SECTION 16 of the US SEC rule places further restrictions beyond Rule 144 for officer/director/major shareholders. Major shareholders are classified as holders of 10% or more of the fully diluted total aggregate shares.
Noteworthy, shares issued to Officer and Directors had been issued at prices higher than the current share prices.
Management wants to ensure that even though dilution has occurred that the vast majority of shares, except for 40,571,071, are held under both RESTRICTEDRULE 144 and Section 16 sale previsions. Thus, the street float went up approximately 40.5M to 298,731,191 since the Company's third quarter report filed 11-14-2011.
