Okay here is a much better estimate of the dilution to DROOY:

Hargraves has around 110 million shares outstanding post the DMR acquisition, which I deduced from the press releases on their website. Drooy is issuing 1 share for every 7 shares of Hargraves for the 81% that it does not already own. This translates into 12.7 million new shares for the 81% of the company.

DROOY now has around 60 million shares. This means they are issuing 20% more shares to grow their production by 10%. But Hargraves should be able to double their production in time thanks to the Ivory Coast property picked up in the DMR acquisition. So IMO this deal is favorable to PATIENT DROOY shareholders since the production they are acquiring is much lower cost than DROOY's.

Now all they have to do is complete the previously aborted acquisition of Emperor Mines on similar terms and they will be in good shape for the next millenium!

Ram
