Message: KWG Board Expanded to Include Donald Sheldon

KWG is preparing for the next step, coming soon, when Matawa, Ontario and Deloitte divulge their ROF infrastructure plans. It will require the services of Mr. Sheldon, a mining securities lawyer and a professional engineer, practicing corporate and commercial law for over 30 years with an emphasis on corporate finance and securities regulation. One would think a move to the TSX is required.

'Crisis’ at the TSX Venture The Venture Capital Markets Association argues the juniors’ case for regulatory reform (Toronto Resource Investment Conference 2013)

by Ted Niles

...It’s absolutely mind-boggling all the things you’re required to do to raise a half-million dollars—which means that half of that half-million will go to lawyers.

In particular, the rules suggest that graduating to the main exchange could be challenging for the many junior companies in Northern Ontario’s “Ring of Fire”, a huge source of chromite. Rough estimates have suggested that the Ring holds $50-billion or more of mineral content, but the key issues around transporting the ore are unresolved. For now, the market is ascribing minimal value to Ring of Fire projects.
