RE:Good Q out, divvy incr tooBeat on cfps .38 versus consensus .33
Miss on production, 9373 vs 9575

Dividend increased to .42 cents (5% increase)
Initial dividend paid September 16, 3.5 cents monthly.
Effective Annual Yield equals 8.3% based on $5.27 close price

And positive news from the field: in the first half of 2013, Surge delivered the best drilling program in the Company's history, with three significant exploration discoveries at its core properties of Valhalla, Nipisi and Silver, respectively.
