Van Sun says Panterra ex-directors face BCSC discipline

Saskatchewan Shale Gas

DEVELOPING OIL AND GAS ASSETS IN WESTERN CANADA

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Sincerely,

George et al

Van Sun says Panterra ex-directors face BCSC discipline

2009-01-19 09:09 ET - In the News

The Vancouver Sun reports in its Saturday edition that a West Vancouver lawyer's career is in tatters after he admitted misappropriating money from Panterra Resources.

The Sun's David Baines, writing in Securities, says that in November, Andrew Gordon Walker admitted his sins to the Law Society of B.C.

He has resigned as a lawyer and agreed not to apply for reinstatement for 10 years.

Now he and two former Panterra co-directors, Dale Paulson of Surrey and Giuliano Tamburrino of Edmonton, are facing disciplinary action by the B.C. Securities Commission.

It alleges that in February, 2005, Panterra transferred $86,380 from its bank account to the trust account of Mr. Walker's law firm. The trio then used the money to buy 614,470 shares from two Panterra shareholders and kept the shares for themselves.

The commission also alleges Panterra paid a $50,000 finder's fee to a company owned by an associate of Mr. Tamburrino, purportedly for finding a property in Alberta. However, the associate was never involved in the transaction.

Meanwhile, the commission says, Panterra filed documents with the commission falsely representing that it had spent $136,455 on the Alberta property and the finder's fee.
