Athena closed the third and final tranche of the offering, raising CAD$131,000 more and completing CAD$1,054,000 total raised -- the last financing before the Libra transaction's Nova Athena redomestication vote scheduled for early 2025.
Athena increased that offering's size to CAD$1,250,000 and closed a second tranche, raising a further CAD$110,000 (2,200,000 units).
What it means for a shareholder
2.2m new shares at about C$0.050 to raise about C$110,000. That's 1.2% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 1.2% smaller. If you held C$1,000 of shares (20,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0108% to 0.0106% of the company. To keep it you'd need 237 more shares - about C$12 at the issue price.

Days after agreeing to acquire the Libra Lithium Ontario projects, Athena opened a new CAD$1,000,000 private placement and closed its first tranche -- CAD$600,000 from 12,000,000 units at CAD$0.05 -- raising cash alongside the pending change-of-control transaction.
An amended filing (filed to update exhibits) reports that on January 17, 2024 the company sold 5,000,000 units at CAD $0.04 for CAD $200,000, each with a two-year warrant at CAD $0.05. On January 2, 2024 it also issued 685,564 shares at CAD $0.05 to a creditor to settle a CAD $34,278.02 debt. Proceeds are for working capital. This continues the small, low-priced Canadian-dollar financings.
Athena raised CDN$200,000 (5,000,000 units at CDN$0.04) -- its lowest per-unit price yet, reflecting a weaker share price -- continuing routine financing.
What it means for a shareholder
5.0m new shares at C$0.040 to raise about C$200,000. That's 2.9% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 2.9% smaller. If you held C$1,000 of shares (25,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.015% to 0.0145% of the company. To keep it you'd need 748 more shares - about C$30 at the issue price.
Athena issued the 16,546,699 shares agreed on Dec 28, 2023 to 2176423 Ontario Ltd. in exchange for 10 million Nubian Resources shares, completing the cross-holding swap with its former Excelsior Springs partner.
Athena closed a non-brokered private placement of 14,500,000 units at CDN$0.07 for gross proceeds of CDN$1,015,000. Each unit carried one share and one two-year warrant at CDN$0.10, with proceeds to fund the 2023 Excelsior Springs drill program and general costs.
What it means for a shareholder
14.5m new shares at C$0.070 to raise about C$1.0m. That's 9.6% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 9.6% smaller. If you held C$1,000 of shares (14,286 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0105% to 0.00949% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,522 more shares - about C$107 at the issue price.
Athena granted 250,000 stock options to newly appointed technical advisory committee member George Mannard, a geologist credited with the Louvicourt base-metal discovery -- a credibility addition to the technical team as Excelsior Springs exploration continued.
A second amendment says the private placement closed on October 31, 2022 at CAD $704,616 from 8,807,700 units at CAD $0.08, which is CAD $40,000 more than previously announced because of an extra 500,000-unit subscription. The press release says a company insider bought 860,200 units for CAD $68,816. Each unit carries a warrant at CAD $0.12 for 24 months. This finalises the offering reported in the earlier amendment.
An amended filing reports the final closings of the company's (now Athena Gold) private placement in September 2022. The offering was raised from CAD $500,000 to CAD $650,000, and 8,307,700 units were sold in total for CAD $664,616. Each unit is one share plus a warrant to buy another share at CAD $0.12 for two years. Finder's fees were $14,748 in cash and 184,350 broker warrants, and proceeds are for exploration and working capital. This continues the Canadian-dollar financings that began in 2021.
What it means for a shareholder
8.3m new shares at about US$0.0602 to raise about US$500,000. That's 6.2% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 6.2% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (16,615 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0131% to 0.0123% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,090 more shares - about US$66 at the issue price.
A further CDN$304,800 raised (3,810,000 units at CDN$0.08) in the first tranche of a new offering, this time sold entirely to non-US investors under Regulation S.

3.8m new shares at C$0.080 to raise about C$304,800. That's 2.9% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 2.9% smaller.

Athena raised another CDN$500,000 (6,250,000 units at CDN$0.08) via the same Reg D/Reg S structure, paying finder's fees on part of the placement -- ongoing financing for Excelsior Springs exploration.

Athena closed the first tranche of a new CAD-denominated private placement -- CDN$500,000 from 6,250,000 units (share plus 3-year warrant) at CDN$0.08 -- its first raise priced in Canadian dollars, reflecting the growing Canadian investor base backing the Excelsior Springs gold story.
What it means for a shareholder
6.3m new shares at about C$0.080 to raise about C$500,000. That's 9.4% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 9.4% smaller. If you held C$1,000 of shares (12,500 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0207% to 0.0188% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,296 more shares - about C$104 at the issue price.
Freshly relieved of the Langtry-related Gibbs debt, Athena raised a further $97,500 selling 3,250,000 shares at $0.03 to five investors -- ordinary financing to keep the newly gold-focused company funded.
5 Jan 2021capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
A consolidated year-end filing bundled several transactions: Athena granted Stronghold Silver USA Corp an option (signed Dec 21, 2020) to acquire 100% of 36 unpatented Calico-district claims for $1 million by Dec 2025 -- a new counterparty over the Langtry-area silver ground, agreed just weeks before Athena transferred the entire Langtry-holding subsidiary to lender John Gibbs's TriPower Resources (Jan 14, 2021); how the two transactions interact isn't clear from this filing. Separately, Athena raised $123,000 cash, issued 5,000,000 shares to Nubian Resources under the new Excelsior Springs option, and converted $315,000 of 2012-era Gibbs advances plus $96,500 of accrued Power management fees into 9.1 million more shares -- clearing old insider debt right before the bigger TriPower settlement.
Director LeRoy Wilkes converted $16,500 in accrued director's fees into 330,000 shares at $0.05 -- a fraction of 2013's $0.26 price, reflecting years of decline while the Gibbs credit facility kept being extended in the background.
19 July 2012capital raising announcement▼ BadMajor
Athena formalized its insider financing with John Gibbs into the '2012 credit agreement': an unsecured $1 million facility at 5% interest, convertible into stock at $0.50/share, initially due July 2013. This is the facility later referenced through years of extensions and ultimately settled in Jan 2021 by handing Gibbs the entire Langtry-holding subsidiary. Athena also issued 25,000 shares for services.
Athena converted $286,831 of accumulated promissory notes and advances into 1,147,324 shares -- one of the largest debt-to-equity conversions yet, folding a big chunk of accrued insider financing into equity.
An amended filing says principal shareholder John D. Gibbs made a $25,000 unsecured advance, due on demand, on February 2, 2012. It also says the company sold warrants for 143,000 shares at $0.25 each, exercisable for five years, to GVC Capital under an advisor agreement, for $100. This continues the company's reliance on Gibbs for funding, ahead of the formal credit agreement signed in July 2012.
What it means for a shareholder
143,000 new shares at US$0.250 to raise about US$25,000. That's 0.439% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 0.439% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (4,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0123% to 0.0123% of the company. To keep it you'd need 18 more shares - about US$5 at the issue price.
Gibbs advanced Athena Minerals another $25,000, and the company issued GVC Capital warrants over 143,000 shares (exercise price $0.25) as a nominal-cost advisory fee, with GVC reallocating them to 14 associated persons.
Athena issued 24,000 shares for marketing services and a further 150,000 shares to settle accrued 2010-2011 accounting fees -- continued reliance on stock instead of cash to pay service providers.
Athena issued 375,337 shares to satisfy an option payment due under the March 2010 Langtry lease -- paying its exploration-stage rent in stock rather than cash.
23 Mar 2011capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Athena Silver announced it had completed a $607,500 private placement -- 2,430,000 shares at $0.25, well above the $0.10 price of its 2010 raises -- a step up in both raise size and per-share price suggesting improving investor interest in Langtry.
What it means for a shareholder
2.4m new shares at US$0.250 to raise about US$607,500. That's 7.6% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 7.6% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (4,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0136% to 0.0126% of the company. To keep it you'd need 331 more shares - about US$83 at the issue price.
An amended filing restates two November 15, 2010 share issues: 2,750,000 shares sold at $0.10 for $275,000 cash to four accredited investors (two affiliated with the company, two not), used for working capital, and 1,000,000 shares valued at $100,000 issued to two company affiliates to settle debt. This continues the small cash raises and debt-for-stock settlements with insiders, and dilutes existing holders.
