Athena Silver raised another $200,000, selling 2,000,000 shares at $0.10 to a mix of related parties and outside investors for working capital -- continued funding of the Langtry exploration push.
What it means for a shareholder
2.0m new shares at US$0.100 to raise about US$200,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
Athena Minerals signed the definitive 20-year Lease and Option to Purchase for the 413-acre Langtry property, superseding a preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement from December 2009 -- formalizing the deal underpinning Athena's new silver-mining identity. 220,000 shares were issued as part of the consideration.
Newly renamed Athena Silver Corporation sold the first tranche of a private offering -- 1,095,000 shares at $0.10 for $109,500 cash -- the first capital raised under the new mining identity, with a further tranche to follow.

Outside counsel Clifford Neuman converted $100,000 in accrued fees and a convertible debenture into 2.5 million shares priced at a 20% discount to market -- the brewery paying off an insider with deeply discounted stock as cash ran out, shortly before the business was wound down and repurposed as a mining shell.
Golden West's brewing subsidiary borrowed $200,000 via a 6% convertible debenture secured by essentially all its tangible and intangible assets -- a sign of tightening finances as the brewery's viability came into question, about a year before it was abandoned for mining.
President John Power assigned $225,000 of advances the brewery owed him to two entities, Shana Capital and Webquest, which converted the debt into 300,000 shares of newly authorized Series A Convertible Preferred Stock -- the first instance of insider debt being restructured into equity, a maneuver the company (later Athena Silver, then Athena Gold) repeated for the next decade under the same CEO.
Golden West sold 282,000 shares for $93,060, with about a fifth of that paid not in cash but as a credit against its open legal bill with counsel Clifford Neuman -- an early instance of the stock-for-services pattern that recurred throughout the company's history.
Golden West Brewing raised $140,000 selling 400,000 units (stock plus two-year warrants) at $0.35 each to three accredited investors -- ordinary equity financing for the still-operating brewery.
What it means for a shareholder
400,000 new shares at about US$0.350 to raise about US$140,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
Golden West Brewing Company (the shell that later became Athena Gold) granted 400,000 stock options to five directors, employees and consultants at $0.50/share -- routine non-cash compensation during the brewery's early years, before any mining pivot.
