Magnum Hunter raised $30.1 million in a private placement of 4.3 million common shares to institutional investors, earmarked for its Marcellus/Utica Ohio and West Virginia leasehold buildout and related gas-transportation letters of credit - funding the Appalachian growth even as it kept selling off North Dakota, Eagle Ford and Canadian assets.
