Yes a dead cat that sends me yearly statements that must cost that cat much more than it is making on the books! Why does anyone think Mr. Li would do that?????????? Someone wants these shares; next week will see just how much that someone is wiling to pay to own this company!
Something is up; we have voted the share increase down for the last few years! Mr Li for better or worse has fronted the company for a long time, along with other management. I do believe KMX does know what he is talking about, but then again why would management support a company that doesn’t make any money. Their must be an end to the game……not that I know what that is! Be it to save face or take over a public company for a relatively cheep price I don’t know. What I do know is that my million plus shares will once again be voted against an increase in shares. I have been a share owner for many years and see no reason to sell at the current level. If someone wants my shares it will cost them at least a few cents! Good luck to all us longs!

Buying opportunity... I wish I had my order in, but then again I'm long or nothing! Way cheep for what this could be!
CKL
I think we should vote against the increase, less shares = more $ for all share holders if and when Kiwa realizes her true potential. I do believe we just need to buy time until justice is done in regards to Ribotsky and NIR Group! This is no different then in the past; management is obligated to ask for the share increase due to the bond issue. Once NIR is brought to justice we should be sitting on shares that are worth many times what they are trading for today!

Scorpio Gold Announces Changes to Mineral Ridge Joint Venture
BY Marketwire - Canada
— 2:33 PM ET 08/05/2011
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 5, 2011) - Scorpio Gold Corporation (SRCRF) ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") today announced that Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. ("Golden Phoenix"), its 30% joint venture partner on the Company's Mineral Ridge project (the "Mineral Ridge Project"), has entered into a debt financing arrangement (the "GP Debt Financing") with Waterton Global Value, L.P. ("Waterton"), Scorpio's existing lender. In connection with the GP Debt Financing, Golden Phoenix has granted Waterton an option (the "Waterton Option") to acquire Golden Phoenix's interest in the Mineral Ridge Project. Scorpio has consented to the Waterton Option and agreed that upon the exercise of the Waterton Option, Waterton will become Scorpio's joint venture partner in the Mineral Ridge Project. In connection with the GP Debt Financing, Golden Phoenix and Scorpio have agreed to amend certain terms of their joint venture, as described below.
Under the original terms of the joint venture operating agreement in respect of the Mineral Ridge Project (the "Operating Agreement"), Scorpio had the right to increase its joint venture interest by 10%, to 80%, by providing 120% of the estimated costs of placing the Mineral Ridge Project into commercial production within 30 months of acquiring its interest in the Mineral Ridge Project, with commercial production being defined as operating the mine for a period of six consecutive months at 70% or more of the average life-of-mine production capacity, as set out in a feasibility study. Additionally, the Operating Agreement provided that if Scorpio increased its joint venture interest to 80%, it would have the right for a period of 24 months to buy-out Golden Phoenix's remaining 20% joint venture interest at the net asset value of such interest, as determined by an independent valuator (the "Buy-Out Right").
In connection with the GP Debt Financing, the Operating Agreement has been amended to provide that Scorpio may now increase its joint venture interest to 80% by funding 100% of the capital expenditures required to place the Mineral Ridge Project into commercial production, which is now defined as the production or processing of a minimum of at least 3,500 ounces per month of gold products from the Mineral Ridge Project for a period of four consecutive calendar months. A feasibility study is no longer required. In addition, Scorpio has agreed to waive the Buy-Out Right with respect to Golden Phoenix, or Waterton if Waterton acquires Golden Phoenix's interest in the Mineral Ridge Project pursuant to the Waterton Option.
Peter J. Hawley, President and CEO reports, "We are pleased that Waterton has chosen to get further involved in the Mineral Ridge Project. The changes made to the Operating Agreement will give Scorpio the ability to increase our joint venture interest in the Mineral Ridge Project to an 80% level more quickly, and we anticipate that if Waterton exercises its option to acquire Golden Phoenix's interest in the Mineral Ridge Project, Scorpio will gain a joint venture partner with the financial resources and experience to work with us to develop and expand the Mineral Ridge project to its full potential".
Cheryl Brandon, Portfolio Manager at Waterton, stated, "we are very pleased to have established the basis for a future joint venture partnership with Scorpio Gold (SRCRF). This partnership provides Waterton Global with the opportunity to work with an established mining team in the highly prospective Nevada region to further expand production from Mineral Ridge. As a result of our long term relationship with Scorpio Gold (SRCRF) as their project finance lender, we have a high level of confidence in management's ability to execute their expansion plans and reach commercial production in the near term. We look forward to further strengthening our relationship with Scorpio, not only as a lender but as a partner in the future development of Mineral Ridge."

“In a world first, the consortium will use innovative fast pyrolysis technology developed by Dynamotive”
http://atwonline.com/eco-aviation/news/virgin-australia-engages-biofuel-development-partnership-0718
News from ATW’s Eco-Aviation Today: Virgin Australia announced that it is partnering with Sydney-based Renewable Oil Corp., Vancouver-based Dynamotive Energy Systems Corp. and Australia’s Future Farm Industries Co-operative Research Centre (CRC) to develop a sustainable aviation biofuel that benefits the Australian farming community and the environment.
In a world first, the consortium will use innovative fast pyrolysis technology developed by Dynamotive to process mallees, a eucalypt tree that can be grown sustainably in many parts of Australia.
The partnership brings together companies with special expertise in growing, harvesting and processing feedstock into aviation fuel to support the development of a full scale commercial plant in Western Australia.
Virgin Australia CEO John Borghetti told ATW’s Eco-Aviation Today that “over the past few years Virgin Australia has been working with stakeholders across the industry to research and develop bio-derived renewable fuels that can be used to progressively replace conventional aviation fuels. We believe this new project has great potential given the results with the technology and the availability of this unique Australian feedstock.
“It is also particularly attractive to Virgin Australia because it aligns with our commitment to supporting the Australian economy and environment, and encouraging Australian innovation.”
Dynamotive has invested in excess of A$100 Million ($107 million) and more than 10 years of work in developing its fast pyrolysis technology from bench-scale through to commercial-scale plants in Canada.
The plants are equipped to make pyrolysis oil for fuels and also produce biochar, for soil improvement and carbon sequestration.
Dynamotive CEO Andrew Kingston said in a statement: “We are very excited to join Virgin Australia, Renewable Oil Corporation and the CRC in this initiative and provide our technology. We have a great opportunity to develop a sustainable industry in Western Australia capable of producing second generation fuels that do not require food sources and have positive effects in land and water management.”
Leading the commercialization of mallees is the CRC, a national R&D joint venture with experts in breeding, growing and harvesting these trees.
CRC CEO Kevin Goss said that its “research shows that mallees can be planted in balance with profitable crop and livestock production in Australia’s wheatbelt region. As well as becoming a source of biomass for renewable energy they offer protection from wind erosion, help to avoid dryland salinity and provide improved livestock shelter. They even provide habitat for native birds and mammals.”
More than 1,000 farmers have planted mallees in belts on their farms, mainly in Western Australia.
Later this year the CRC partnership will bring the world’s first hardwood biomass harvester to Western Australia for wide-scale demonstrations.
Renewable Oil, which identified the mallee tree as a promising biofuel feedstock, is Dynamotive’s Australian partner and develops biofuel projects in Australia.
The consortium is finalizing plans for a demonstration unit that will make bio-fuels for testing, certification and public trials. The demonstration unit is intended to be operational in 2012, followed by the construction of a commercial-scale plant, which could be operational as early as 2014.

Australia's number two carrier has partnered with Melbourne based renewable oil corporation Australia's No.2 carrier has partnered with Melbourne-based Renewable Oil Corporation and Canada's Dynamotive Energy Systems to develop the potential replacement for traditional aviation fuel. Dynamotive has spent about $100 million over the past 10 years developing technology to produce fuel from the mallee eucalypt tree, grown across Australia, at commercial-scale plants in Canada.

Richard Branson Australia Virgin-Australia hopes to have a commercial scale demonstrational unit up by next year with a commercial scale plant built by 2014. Such a move would put Virgin ahead of airlines that fly in the region including British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa and its main competitor Quantas. As the industry struggles to deal with rising fuel costs and increasing pressure to cut emissions which grey 110 per cent from 1990-2008. Virgin Australia would become a leader in its field and would expect to generate huge profits, making it the leading airline in Australia.
In Brisbane yesterday, Virgin founder Richard Branson said the development of cleaner sources of energy was a priority and "eucalyptus trees could be the fuel of the future".
Commenting on the unveiling of the Federal Government's carbon tax this weekend, Sir Richard also warned Australia against introducing a price on carbon without a global agreement. "Ideally it should be done on a global basis," he said.
Fuels derived from algae and waste foods are already being trialled and are considered by many commentators to be more sustainable than fuels produced from dedicated energy crops that may compete with food crops and could lead to shortages of key staples.
Mallees are thought to be a good feedstock for biofuel production because they offer protection from wind erosion, help to avoid dry land salinity, and provide habitat for native birds and mammals, as well as offering a source of biomass.
"We believe this new project has great potential given the results with the technology and the availability of this unique Australian feedstock," said John Borghetti, chief executive of Virgin Australia. "It is also particularly attractive to Virgin Australia because it aligns with our commitment to supporting the Australian economy and environment, and encouraging Australian innovation."
I would be happy to hold the .40 level. I can't wait till we get some news to see this really take off!
I changed mine to abstain at www.proxyvote.com I believe this counts as not in favor of the proposal. Be sure to vote for all of the proposals again, so your proxy is valid.
I would think your right the later date would be the one counted. I’m not sure it will matter due to the format the company has chosen for the proxy. I’m no expert but feel like we don’t really have a choice from what I read on the share holder education link on the proxyvote web site. Thanks for contacting the company and trying to resolve this.
Better question, I know the below is in regards to directors, but since KIwa is using the “plurality standard” does it only take one vote for proposal #3 to be approved?
Fidelity was unable to answer my question in regards to the electronic / mail in votes and which will be counted over the other. They only could refer me to Kiwa IR and company phone #’s. If I understand the below I don’t think our votes will matter due to the wording of the proxy. I hope the company has resolved the financing issue and can use the increase of shares, if approved, for the benefit of Kiwa not the manipulation of share price. As frustrated, as I am I still feel this company has great potential, best of luck to all of us!
The below is from https://www.shareholdereducation.com/voting_proxy.asp
Voting Your Proxy
Just as there are a variety of ways you can select to receive your proxy, you also have options when it comes to casting your vote. You can vote in person by attending the meeting, or you typically can vote via proxy by sending voting instructions to the company. You can do this online, by mail or by telephone.
Your Voting Options
You can vote “for,” “against” or “abstain” with respect to each of the proposals listed in the proxy materials.
You may notice slightly different wording for the election of directors. If your company uses a plurality standard, you will be given a choice to vote in favor of all directors or to “withhold” on all directors or a particular director. The plurality standard provides that a director nominee receive at least one share voted FOR in order to be elected.
Companies also have the option to choose a majority vote standard for their director elections. Under this scenario, a director would be elected only if he or she receives affirmative votes from a majority of either the votes cast at the meeting or the shares eligible to be voted at a meeting, depending on the company’s standard.
Since 2004, numerous companies have implemented majority voting for electing directors in various forms, generally as part of their corporate governance guidelines or other board policy.
Changing Your Vote
If you decide to change your vote on one or more proposals, you must reiterate all your voting choices for all proposals. Your previous votes will not stand if you make any changes to your vote. If you require another Proxy Card or Vote Instruction Form (VIF), contact your intermediary.
Will the www.proxyvote.com over ride mailed in votes? Or does this only over ride previous electronic votes?
My mail in Proxy had three options,(For, Against, Abstain) from what I have seen there were only two options “for” or “abstain / withhold”.
If “against” is null and void, can we over ride our mail in votes?
I had already marked against before I saw the note saying that I only had two choices and against wasn’t one of them. I just want to make sure my one million shares are counted not in favor of the increase! If that means “abstain” or “withhold” than fine, just make it clear to us shareholders so we can vote our shares accordingly.
Hugh, thanks for using your contacts to help clear this up
So the correct vote would be abstain? Then they would have to have a majority vote for (>50%) in order to pass the increase in shares?
If this is the case then will the online vote at the proxy website override the mailed proxy cards?
Hugh thanks for the help and great posts!
I too have voted my shares against the share increase, but I noticed the below middle note under the amendment to increase shares that states the only valid voting option is to vote “for” or “abstain”. I still voted against and want to know if this is a legal note? Will my shares be voted against the increase? Did anyone else notice this note? It is also on the last page of the documentation package that came along with my proxy statement. Thanks for any feedback.
