I think this is what ALK trading is reminding me of :-
CORNISH METALS SUCCESSFULLY CLOSES £40.5 MILLION FINANCING
May 24, 2022
Cornish Metals Inc. (TSX-V/AIM: CUSN) ("Cornish Metals" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration and development company focused on tin / copper projects in Cornwall, United Kingdom, is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced £40,500,000 (approximately C$64,800,000 based on the Bank of Canada's closing exchange rate for May 20, 2022 of C$1.6005/£) unit offering (the "Offering") (see news release dated March 28, 2022).
Richard Williams, CEO of Cornish Metals, stated; "The completion of this financing allows Cornish Metals to push ahead with the dewatering of the mine and delivery of a Feasibility Study in order to make a production decision for the South Crofty tin project.
"We welcome Vision Blue Resources as a major shareholder and partner in this venture. We are all very excited about the prospects of seeing South Crofty back in production in the coming years and look forward to enjoying continued support from our stakeholders in the local community."
Details of the financing
Each unit ("Unit") issued under the Offering was priced at 18pence ("p") (C$0.30 for Canadian investors) per Unit, with each Unit comprising one common share of the Company ("Common Share") and one warrant to purchase one additional Common Share exercisable at a price of 27p (C$0.45 for Canadian investors) for a period of 36 months (each, a "Warrant"). On May 19, 2022, the Company received the necessary approvals from the shareholders of the Company at a Special Meeting of the Shareholders (see news release dated May 20, 2022) and from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") to proceed to close the Offering.
I added £10k based on the drop from the longer average of 20-24p, once the price dropped to 17.5p.
Within 5 days I sold the £10k + profit at 26p. It hit 27p to trigger the warrents and within a week was back to the previous long term average around 22-23p.
For no explained reason the US investment got 18p in legal issue , the sp thus dropped and then when the warrents were disclosed at 27p and it started to rise up from the oversell to 16.5p, it was too good an sp to pass up. I got lucky - very very rare - but WHY and HOW did it get triggered to rise SO fast up 10p on no real news as it was released ( as you rightly point out on 28th March ) ?
ALK had a bit of history here.
Only back in December it was up around £3.00 and dropped as low as £1.90 to sell. At the time I doubled my holding which was originally £1.08p ave. with the intention of seeing atleast £5.00++ within 6-18 months.
With offtake looking like being finalised very soon and the market officially being infirmed, this drop seriously has not sense, infact it seems like nonsense to me. I'm not worried at all as my gut feeling is now looking at funding being issued by another US funding company u
