TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - February 04, 2016) - Peat Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE: PET) announces it has granted stock options to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,500,000 common shares of Peat Resources Limited to four directors and one consultant. The options are exercisable at $0.05 per share and will expire on February 4, 2021. The Company has 99,097,236 issued and outstanding common shares and will have 8,600,000 options issued under its rolling 10% stock option plan.

This is a pennystock company under restructuring. Interesting that Pat Mennard (Chair and CEO) is connected to the Kings thru her other company Darnley Bay Resources (another penny stock). Both appear to be going thru a restructuring recently. My GUESS is that Sam will be taking this down a tech energy path possiby related to solar???
