news out: http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/big-wind-capital-inc-enters-into-definitive-agreement-with-hill-top-security-inc-cse-bwc-2243778.htm

speculation only at this point:

- completion of private placements (probably NOT just this as past pp completion have not [do not] used halts); although depending on who you ask, the private placements were already complete a week or so ago
- completion of agreement with Hill Top: possible that name change is coming, plus some other major material news that DOES require a halt

on the flip side:

- possible that agreement has fallen through (unlikely) but is definitely a possibility (since we don't actually know anything [publicly at least])
- some other major material hurdle that wasn't expected

we'll just have to wait and see, but IMO should be all positive news.

FYI, ticker on the CSE has been halted at request of company

current outstanding ~192M
total diluted ~282M

fyi:

total diluted sharecount now at 478M (435 from before + 43M from this bought deal)

total current sharecount around 371M

FYI: John Fowler on Twitter:

We're not concerned. Sales will be complete before end of Q. It's a detailed audit and approval process to give buyers comfort

No US Exposure (Any More)

Looks like they've moved on from the project and are planning to sell the property for profit, at least according to someone on reddit who followed-up with Cam:

https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/6rgdxi/does_aurora_have_us_exposure/dl6dq8x/

they do have some US exposure (but they haven't done much or reported much on it as of late).

look up their "australis capital inc." subsidiary and their 50% stake in a venture in washington state under "australis holdings llp".

note that this press release was from a couple of years ago and according to some message boards, either terry or cam have noted (i believe last year or early this year) that they've effectively put this project on hold, but there hasn't been an official press/news release that i have been able to find.
