Hard to say given the patchwork of paperwork being filed but from the December 4, 2009 form 7 and prior to the below private placement, there were 58,689,700 shares out.

However, in the pp release, they stated to have 60,499,700 out. Add 4,999,333 from the pp and you get 65,499,033 which is what they reported in February 2010.

Biggest material change was between June and July where the shares out went from 65,499,300 to 69,844,030. Difference of 4,344,730.
Would have shown up on Canadian Insider if it was insider activity so it is most likely warrant conversion.
