1 Aug 2011farm in farm out completion● NeutralMajor
Warren Energy acquisition completed for 2.2bn shares, giving 16% of Rock Creek and 8% of Duvernay Shale in Alberta; $1.5m placement at $0.001 secured. Anthony Short and David Ballantyne resign; Charles Morgan and Brett Mitchell join the board. About $1m acreage cost is repayable from the next raising.
June quarter: restates the Warren Energy deal (16% of Rock Creek, 8% of Duvernay Shale) and a syndicate commitment to raise at least $1.8m. Rock Creek drilling is targeted for Q4 2011, Duvernay farm-out or sale is being considered, and Lyons Point is due to spud late August.
Warren Energy purchase terms changed: vendors will receive 2.2bn ordinary shares directly, rather than 2.2m performance shares convertible into 2.2bn shares. Shares are escrowed 12 months. Shareholder meeting set for 25 July 2011.
Kilgore agrees to buy Warren Energy, holding a 16% interest in the Rock Creek tight oil play in Alberta, and to place up to 1.5bn shares at $0.001 ($1.5m) to a new investor syndicate that will lead strategy. A change of direction from its Gulf Coast focus.
Kilgore agrees to earn a 15% interest in the Lyons Point prospect in Louisiana, operated by Clayton Williams Energy, by paying 20% of costs. Target is 60 BCF gas and 3 MMBC; initial dry-hole share about US$1.14m. Spud expected late August 2011.

Letter to shareholders restating the rights issue: up to 2,094,400,024 shares at $0.001 to raise $2.094m, used to retire debt and fund working capital. A 78m-share placement follows; maximum shares after both would be 2,696,000,030. Timetable closes 29 December.

What it means for a shareholder
2.09bn new shares at about A$0.001 to raise about A$2.1m. That's 50% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 50% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (997,143 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0476% to 0.0238% of the company. To keep it you'd need 996,952 more shares - about A$1,000 at the issue price.
Clarifies that the rights issue timetable was indicative only. The prospectus will be lodged by month end, and the record date and other dates will be later than first shown.
