2 Dec 2008material agreement● NeutralMajor
Effective October 31, 2008 the company agreed to sell its 100% Nyinahin concession in Ghana (acquired in March 2007) to Sunergy Inc. for $1,000,000: $500,000 cash ($50,000 within 5 days, $200,000 by December 31, 2008, $250,000 by April 30, 2009) plus 2,000,000 Sunergy shares valued at $0.25. The company keeps a 5% net smelter return. This reverses the Ghana move made in 2007.
This lists share issues from July to October 2008: units at $0.15 and $0.10 raising small sums ($1,200 to $35,100), 170,000 shares as interest and an inducement for a loan, 521,000 shares for services, and 2,665,000 and 1,579,000 shares to consultants under a June 16, 2008 registration statement. Much of the issuance is for services and loan terms rather than cash. The filing shows a loan exists but gives no terms.
This lists many share issues from March to June 2008: units at $0.10 and $0.20, shares at $0.05-$0.06 in private placements, warrant exercises at $0.05-$0.125, and shares for services. The individual amounts raised are small, mostly $1,663 to $54,000. The company's address is now 615 Sierra Rose Drive, Reno. Shares were being sold at $0.05, well below the 2007 placement prices, so dilution is heavier per dollar raised (inference from the stated prices).
On April 8, 2008 the company issued 2,000,000 shares and 2,000,000 warrants ($0.25, 24 months) as pay for services to consultants and to officers and directors Larry Bigler, David Salari, Stephen Parent and Daniel Forbush. No cash was raised, and the new shares dilute existing holders.
On February 29, 2008 the company agreed with 635239 B.C. Ltd. to buy 100% of certain mineral claims in the Bannockburn Gold Property and rights to the Lloyd Patent in Madoc Township, Ontario, for $140,000 cash in instalments plus 700,000 shares and 700,000 warrants at $0.20 for two years. Missing the $75,000 payment due June 15, 2008 would rescind the deal. This is a new Ontario property alongside the Nevada and Ghana ones.
6 Nov 2007capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
The company closed a placement of 2,503,000 units at $0.20 on October 31, 2007, raising $500,600 from 20 accredited investors; each unit has one share and a $0.25 warrant. The company says the money is to continue Phase 1 drilling at the Independence Mine. This is the largest raise in this batch and it dilutes existing holders.
What it means for a shareholder
2.5m new shares at $0.200 to raise about $500,600. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
This amendment repeats the August 3, 2007 filing and corrects the warrant exercise price on the 216,000-unit placement from $0.025 to $0.25. The other figures are unchanged (52,470 shares for $6,558.75; $43,200 raised).
On August 3, 2007 the company issued 52,470 shares on warrant exercises for $6,558.75 and closed a placement of 216,000 units at $0.20 for $43,200. The warrants are stated here with a $0.025 exercise price, which a later amendment corrected.
What it means for a shareholder
216,000 new shares at $0.200 to raise about $43,200. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
This repeats the April 30 and May 17 placements and adds that, in May 2007, warrant holders exercised warrants for 3,064,532 shares ($267,340), 597,333 shares ($79,925) and 90,000 shares ($18,000). Bonus warrants at $0.25 (to April 30, 2008) were issued: 260,000, 265,000 and 90,000. A further 160,000 units were sold on May 30 for $25,000 and 'certain assets'. Cash came in but more shares and warrants are outstanding.
Two small private placements closed at $0.25 per unit (two shares plus one $0.125 warrant): 165,200 units for $41,300 on April 30, 2007 and 18,000 units for $4,500 on May 17, 2007. This is small additional dilution. The filing does not state the use of funds.
The company closed a private placement of 1,060,000 units at $0.25 for $265,000 on April 23, 2007; each unit has two shares and one warrant at $0.125. Canaccord Capital was paid $26,500 and 106,000 agent warrants. The release says proceeds fund the first part of Phase 1 drilling at the Independence Mine (Phase 1 budget $1,350,000) and the 8-K also says general corporate purposes. This answers the open question on the use of 2007 placement proceeds, and existing holders are diluted.
What it means for a shareholder
1.1m new shares at $0.250 to raise about $265,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
22 Mar 2007capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On March 15, 2007 the company agreed with Sanibel Investments Ltd. to buy all of Mikite Gold Resources Ltd., a Ghanaian company that holds the rights to the Nyinahin concession in Ghana, paying 1,000,000 shares and 1,000,000 warrants (exercise price $0.26, 2 years). This adds a Ghana exploration property to the Nevada Independence property and dilutes existing holders. It also issued 133,000 units at $0.075 under a consulting agreement.
What it means for a shareholder
133,000 new shares at $0.075 to raise about $9,975. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
9 Mar 2007capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
The company closed several private placements in February and March 2007. The largest was 3,893,996 units at $0.075 for $292,050, and another was 544,000 units at $0.125 for $68,000. A smaller one was 349,541 units at $0.075 for $11,215.58 plus 'certain assets'. It also issued 200,000 shares to settle debt and 100,000 units for services. Each unit includes a warrant or half-warrant, so existing holders are diluted. The filing does not state how the money will be used.
