The first tranche of the Acadian investment closed: Acadian issued 17,053,205 shares to the company for C$447,457.34, giving it a 9.99% interest. This is smaller than the C$1.0 million (38,111,334 shares) first tranche described in the March announcement; the filing does not explain the difference.
Effective March 17, 2009 the company agreed to subscribe for up to 338,111,334 new shares of Acadian Mining Corporation (TSX: ADA) for up to C$10 million, which would give it 68.45% of Acadian if all tranches close. The first C$1.0 million tranche (38,111,334 shares) needs regulatory approval including the Toronto Stock Exchange and was expected around April 10, 2009; the remaining C$9 million needs Acadian shareholder approval and due diligence, and lapses if conditions are not met by July 1, 2009. The company says it intends to seek extra financing, possibly a private placement of its own shares, to fund this. This is a new direction beyond its Tahera and Committee Bay exploration.

9 Dec 2008capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On December 9, 2008 the company sold 100,000,000 new shares at US$0.005 each (US$500,000 total) to Fast Knight Nominees Pty Ltd, a company associated with President and CEO Joseph Gutnick. The money is for exploration and general corporate and administrative costs. This is the capital raising the company had been investigating since 2007; the new shares are a large addition to the 26,711,630 shares reported in 2007 and dilute other holders (inference), and the buyer is a Gutnick-linked party.
What it means for a shareholder
100m new shares at US$0.005 to raise about US$500,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
On October 3, 2008 the company said its June 30, 2007 financial statements should no longer be relied on, after SEC staff review led it to revalue 4,650,000 options granted in October 2006 using a US$0.30 share price instead of US$0.166. The restatement raises the fiscal 2007 net loss by A$313,000 and the cumulative loss since July 1, 2002 to A$9,560,000 from A$8,116,000. The filing says cash flows are unaffected and management believes the business and shareholders are not materially impacted.
A preliminary information statement says holders of 57.3% of the shares (companies tied to the Gutnick family, including Fast Night Nominees) consented on August 31, 2007 to raising authorized common stock from 100 million to 200 million shares. The company has 26,711,630 shares and 55,750,000 options outstanding, and says it is looking at capital raising for exploration and working capital. This follows the 100 million increase proposed in 2006; more shares could be issued without existing holders having preemptive rights, which could dilute them.

15 June 2006capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On June 9, 2006 the company sold RAB Special Situations Fund (Master) Limited 10,000,000 special warrants (each convertible to one share for no extra payment) plus warrants over 20,000,000 shares at US$0.1542 (to April 30, 2011) for US$1,542,000. Proceeds are intended for gold exploration on Tahera's Slave Craton properties and its Committee Bay tenements in northern Canada, and for general corporate costs. This is new outside money, but the shares and warrants it creates will dilute existing holders (inference).

9 May 2006capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Effective May 8, 2006, the company agreed to issue 10 million shares and options over 20 million shares (A$0.20 exercise price, expiring April 2011) to Fast Night Nominees, a company associated with President J. I. Gutnick, to repay A$2 million of loans from Wilzed Pty Ltd, another Gutnick-associated company. It also said it intends to seek approval to raise authorized shares to 100 million. For shareholders this removes the A$2 million debt but adds shares and options, which dilutes existing holders (inference).
