Hi, Paul.

At least my total agrees. The 10000 is because the entitlement is for a
minimum of $2,000. If they were going to be hard to get, that was going
to be a sneaky way to get more - just have 250 holdings of 1000 shares.
:-) Actually, I learned last week that, because of that, if all LKO
shareholders took it up they would have to issue ~15 million shares more
than the prospectus said (but there was an oversubscription clause
specifically to allow for that).

What did you take up?

I think they fell for 2 reasons - firstly they went ex-entitlement, so
effectively from that date LKO only owns 1/3 of Gawler Gold instead of
100%, and secondly because there was an expectation that the entitlement
was going to offer a better deal for existing shareholders than it did
in the end. I thought it would.
