2 Aug 2018capital raising announcement▼ Bad
Timberline borrowed $300,000 from arm's-length lender William Matlack at a steep 18% annual interest rate (compounded monthly) to fund exploration and working capital - expensive debt reflecting how limited the company's financing options were after losing Talapoosa.

9 May 2018capital raising announcement▼ Bad
Timberline closed a private placement at just $0.08/unit - its lowest financing price yet - raising $600,000 from 7.5 million units, reflecting a much-depressed stock price after losing the Talapoosa project.
4 Apr 2018material agreement termination▼ BadMajor
Timberline lost its flagship Talapoosa gold project: unable to make the required $2 million payment (plus 1 million shares) due March 31, 2018, its option agreement with Gunpoint Exploration terminated automatically and ownership of Talapoosa reverted entirely to Gunpoint, which still holds an 8.3% stake in Timberline. The company pivoted back to re-exploring its older Eureka (Lookout Mountain) project in Nevada - a major reversal after three years of promoting Talapoosa's economics.

What it means for a shareholder
10.0m new shares at about $0.150 to raise about $1.5m. That's 29% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 29% smaller. If you held $1,000 of shares (6,667 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0278% to 0.0196% of the company. To keep it you'd need 2,777 more shares - about $417 at the issue price.

Separately, it sold its 50% interest in the Butte Highlands JV - the 50/50 venture formed in 2009 with Ron Guill's Highland Mining - to New Jersey Mining Company for $225,000 cash plus 3 million New Jersey Mining shares, shedding a non-core legacy asset as it consolidated around Talapoosa.
12 Jan 2016listing compliance notice▼ BadMajor
NYSE MKT warned Timberline it was out of compliance with the exchange's financial-condition listing standard - its losses and impaired finances raised doubts about its ability to continue operating - and demanded a compliance plan within a week, a serious going-concern-flavored listing threat.
