The TSX Venture Exchange gained 2.55 points to 739.96 Friday, but it ended the month down 43.67 points. Judson Culter's shell graduate and Yellowknife gold explorer, Rover Metals Corp. (ROVR: $0.10), began trading today. It opened at 8.5 cents and closed at 10 cents on 129,000 shares. Rover holds options to acquire a 75-per-cent interest in the Up Town property and a 100-per-cent interest in the Cabin Lake property, both from Silver Range Resources Ltd. (SNG: $0.17).
Rover went public through Minaz Dhanani's capital pool shell, Royal Lifescience Corp. This shell listed in April, 2012, with a $400,000 initial public offering at 10 cents. Although Mr. Dhanani was a founding director of the shell, he was not the original promoter. That was Craig Thomas, a lawyer and a son of the late founder of West Coast Securities Ltd., Pat Thomas. Craig left the shell in 2016. He is currently not a director of any public company. Previously, he and Mr. Dhanani were fellow directors at a few public companies, including Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. (BGM: $0.455) when it was still under Frank Callaghan and understandably lively. Mr. Dhanani, an accountant, resigned on closing of the shell's QT and is no longer a director of any public company. The shell's IPO shareholders, who were rolled back 1 for 2.5 in 2016, need 25 cents to break even. They ought to get more than that, as a sort of compensation for being made to wait six years for a qualifying transaction, but so far they are reaping only disappointment.
