PR Newswire (US)
CHEYENNE, WY, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Equitable Mining
Corp. (EQUITABLE), a resource company trading as EQBM on
PinkSheets.com and E5W on the Frankfurt Exchange, has received its
NOBO report (Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners) and has compared it
to the DTC and transfer agent shareholders lists. After extensive
comparisons of the NOBO list with known share counts, management
has determined that there is an identified Shorted Share count of
over 100 millions shares. The tradable float is approximately 100
million shares when all restricted shares are accounted for.
Currently the NOBO report shows over 200 millions shares being
owned which clearly identifies a potential short position of
approximately 100 million shares. Additionally, an OBO report is
being ordered immediately to account for other potential shares.
This could further increase the shorted position. In addition to
this known verified short position, management has verified at
least three other individually known shareholder cases where share
counts were not reported back properly on the NOBO list. The
discrepancy in these three cases lessens the NOBO totals by up to
an additional 18 million shares and potentially increasing the
shorted share count. Management feels there could be others who
have requested to be on the NOBO list whose shares are not showing
up properly which makes the potential of shorted share amounts to
be significantly larger than reported here. The company also would
like to state that the current shares outstanding are 454,000,000
fully diluted. The company plans to retire a minimum of 50 million
shares in the near future. The company has no current plans of
financing or any dilution of its share capital except for a
possible acquisition or a major joint venture. "Short selling,
especially 'naked' short selling is a drain on the investment
community and takes millions of dollars from investors. It also
significantly reduces the ability of small cap companies to raise
capital for their operations. By identifying that there is a short
position, we hope to address the issue and see a more accurate
share price," stated Larry Skolnik, President of Equitable Mining
Corporation. Equitable management is taking steps to build
shareholder value, and to start to force the large position of
shorts to cover. The company has announced a Dividend and Warrant
Offering that management believes will build extensive shareholder
value. Full details of this offering will follow shortly. About
