San Gold Corporation - one of Canada's most exciting new exploration companies and gold producers.
There were actually three closing dates for the PP financing. The first batch becomes free trading in the second week of September, but I cannot see much advantage to selling at current price levels as there is next to no gain to be had -- that is not why the buyers bought the shares.
The First Tranche closed May 6th:
May 06, 2008
Wildcat Exploration Ltd. (WEL: TSX-V) ("Wildcat" or the "Company") announces that the Company has closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement previously announced on April 25, 2008.
A total of 2,415,000 non flow through units, and 500,000 flow-through shares were distributed pursuant to this first tranche for total proceeds of $291,500. The flow-through common shares ("Flow-Through Shares") are being issued at $0.10 per share, and the units ("Units") are being issued at $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one non-flow through common share and one warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share for $0.20 for two years from the closing date.
All securities distributed pursuant to this first tranche will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day following closing.
The Second Tranche closed June 11th:

The third and final closing was June 23rd:

A total of 4,927,000 non-flow through Units have been issued in the third and final closing for gross proceeds of $492,700. To accommodate investor interest in the issue, the Company received regulatory approval for a second $200,000 increase in the amount of the previously announced private placement, bringing the total private placement to $1.4 million.
The proceeds of the private placement will be used to advance existing exploration properties, to generate and acquire new properties and to provide working capital to the Company.
