First American Stock Transfer, Inc. issued these shares of Hunt Gold Corporation, registered to “Cede & Co.”, directly to “Cede & Co.” on Monday February 18, 2008, in order for “Cede & Co.” to allocate these shares to the eligible Brokers to allocate to their client accounts in respect of the aforesaid Stock Dividend Dates.
