You guys just love to make stuff up don't you. See the December announcements on the mine purchase. "Acquired" means "bought", "purchased" like "done deal". Nothing magic about January 6 except a target closing date.
Hemi, your 75 million shares include about 60 million restricted shares. I've done the count too. I expect about 83 million total once all announced shares are issued which may not be for a year or two unless there are more purchases (the count includes allocations for employee and contractor stock options).
