Four board members took part.

On June 17, 2019 the company closed a working interest offering for the Moe-35 horizontal well, raising $1,640,000 from 17 accredited investors, each also getting four common shares per dollar invested.

What it means for a shareholder
6.6m new shares at about $0.250 to raise about $1.6m. That's 6.5% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 6.5% smaller. If you held $1,000 of shares (4,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00425% to 0.00397% of the company. To keep it you'd need 279 more shares - about $70 at the issue price.
On January 10, 2019 the company closed a working interest offering raising $1,260,000 from 13 accredited investors, who get a share in the WWJD#31 horizontal well program plus one common share per $2 invested.

A press release attached says the WWJD #31H well, the first horizontal San Andres well, reached total depth.
What it means for a shareholder
630,000 new shares at about $2.00 to raise about $1.3m. That's 0.735% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 0.735% smaller. If you held $1,000 of shares (500 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000588% to 0.000583% of the company. To keep it you'd need 4 more shares - about $8 at the issue price.

This is new cash for the company and more shares outstanding, so existing holders are diluted. It follows the smaller $0.26 placement of March 2017.
What it means for a shareholder
13.6m new shares at $0.250 to raise about $3.4m. That's 15% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 15% smaller. If you held $1,000 of shares (4,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00521% to 0.00442% of the company. To keep it you'd need 710 more shares - about $178 at the issue price.

8 July 2015capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On July 1, 2015 the company completed an exchange of 21,215,038 restricted common shares for 9,207,303 Amazing Energy, Inc. shares, making AEI a wholly owned subsidiary. This continues the October 2014 AEI deal by bringing in more AEI holders, and issues more shares.
On September 9, 2008 Cougar Gold told Gold Crest it would not enter an agreement on the Idaho properties. The company must now issue Cougar 500,000 extra shares at no additional cost. This resolves the Idaho joint venture proposed in June: it did not go ahead. The same filing does not discuss the remaining $500,000 share purchase, which was tied to that deal.
Cougar's due diligence on the Idaho properties ran past the original period. The company says it needs cash for items including claim maintenance fees. Cougar bought 500,000 shares for $50,000 at $0.10, and exclusivity was extended to October 15, 2008. If no Idaho deal is reached by then, the company issues another 500,000 shares at no cost. The $50,000 is credited against Cougar's required payments under the Golden Lynx joint venture. The remaining $500,000 from the June subscription is not mentioned as received.
What it means for a shareholder
500,000 new shares at $0.100 to raise about $50,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
18 June 2008capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Cougar Gold agreed to buy 8,000,000 shares at $0.10 ($800,000). The first $300,000 closed June 16, 2008; the other $500,000 depends on a proposed deal and is expected by August 13, 2008. That deal is a letter of intent for Cougar to earn 60% of the Idaho properties by spending $4,500,000 over four years, with the option to reach 85%. It is subject to due diligence and a definitive agreement, and this raises Cougar's stake in the company after its April share purchase.
What it means for a shareholder
8.0m new shares at $0.100 to raise about $800,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
