Colonial Coal International Corp. {TSX.V: CAD} has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to 50 million units of the corporation at a subscription price of 15 cents per unit, for gross proceeds of up to $7.5-million.

Comment

Amazingly this is the very first financing ever done by Colonial Coal since their public listing. CAD has been prudently run by a management team focused on delivering shareholder value, and who hold a large shareholding in the company themselves.

CAD are rightly raising now, to refinance their treasury and finance a drill program on the highly prospective Flatbed property, where there is the prospect of adding significant tonnage with a relatively modest drill program.

A healthy treasury also deters bottom fishing predators, and ensures that any offers received are sensible.
