"Having received conditional approval of the TSX, the Company is planning to raise a further $600,000 (total of $2,400,000) and will entertain interested parties for a portion of this addition. All funds are earmarked for Woodrush operations and general working capital which excludes any cash interest payments in respect of remaining corporate debt. Both the Company's CEO and Chairman, the two largest stockholders, are committed to continue to significantly reduce corporate debt and will never receive any future cash compensation, thus ensuring their return on investment in the Company's shares will derive from share appreciation like all other shareholders," Matheson continues.
