I'm more concerned with the 15m ounces of gold they have here and the 45m ounces in Africa. I could care less if they increase their o/s to pay down debt and drill more. There are lots of good companies out their in pink land for you to invest in that have billions of outstanding shares and make widgets, good luck to you.

Hey, you're more than welcome to have an opinion and state it despite the fact some of us simply don't agree. I would assume the share count has gone up and the company probably has raised some money just as it should have been expected to have. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. This business is inherently capital intensive.

I long stated I expected the eventual outstanding to be somewhere in the 300 million range when all was said and done. Unfortunately you can't operate a resource company without capital. We knew there was a lot of debt being converted to equity which in the big picture results in the company having a much cleaner and leveragable balance sheet.

Here is where I think your post is simply untimely, I think we've now already seen and experienced the effects of any dilution and debt conversion. I think it's now run its course for the most part. If accurate in my assumption, that which was holding the shares down should now abate allowing the shares to increase to a more equitable valuation. What you're pointing out is now already behind the company and it's that which has allowed some to take advantage of supply down here to build or add to positions. Someone has been soaking up a lot of stock down here and at thse prices, it doesn't take much money to amass a large position. Any dilution or debt conversions should have resulted in shares going from weak hands to much stronger hands looking for higher prices.

What you point out, even if valid in some ways, has only provided some with a longer time horizon a possible nice opportunity.

The cost for the mine will probably come through a joint venture. That and the uplisting were possibly two of the reasons for hiring a top tier law firm.
A mine can be put into limited production in 6 momths.
You might really be missing one of the opportunities of a lifetime. There aren't many good penny stocks, and you may be missing the one out of a thousand that could give big returns.
If any share dilution happened, it most likely will be compensated for with higher gold reserves.
Being wary is fine, but once in a while you might expand your horizons if the potential for reward is great and the risk is less than the average. Finally, no corporate management is perfect if that is your standard.

Valdai - Yep, I e-mailed twice and called three times (left voice mail)requesting the share structure and no response. Come on, its just a few numbers and estimates would be OK with me.
