In its early stages a junior mining company is usually a private company with few shareholders. With this structure, small amounts of risk capital are raised by the principals(or the promoter) selling treasury shares to a small number of individuals without the company going public and issuing a prospectus. However, when the company reaches the stage that more capital is needed than can be raised privately, it will "go public" and raise funds through a Distribution to the Public of unissued treasury shares by prospectus or statement of material fact. 1, record 4, English, - junior%20mining%20company

À ses débuts, une petite société minière est habituellement une société comportant peu d'actionnaires et dont les actions ne sont pas détenues par le public. En raison de cette structure, elle se procure de petites quantités de capitaux par la vente directe (ou par l'intermédiaire d'un promoteur) de ses actions de trésorerie à un petit nombre de particuliers sans avoir à vendre ces actions dans le public et à émettre un prospectus. Toutefois, lorsqu'elle atteint le stade où elle a besoin de plus de capitaux qu'elle ne peut s'en procurer en s'adressant à ces particuliers, elle émettra des actions dans le public et se procurera des fonds au moyen d'une «distribution dans le public» d'actions de trésorerie non émises au moyen d'un prospectus ou d'une déclaration de faits essentiels. 1, record 4, French, - petite%20soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20mini%C3%A8re

Cet atelier d'une journée destiné aux gestionnaires et aux employés de Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada les aide à comprendre de quelle façon ils réagissent sur le plan personnel au changement. L'atelier leur donne l'occasion de mieux comprendre le changement et les aide à passer à l'étape de la prise en main personnelle en se libérant de la codépendance organisationnelle. Cela signifie découvrir leur identité actuelle si elle n'est pas définie par leur travail, leur permettre de découvrir ce qui est important pour eux (valeurs fondamentales) et décrire leurs aspirations (vision) et, finalement, définir quels moyens ils prendront pour atteindre leur but et quels seront leurs besoins à cet égard (fixation des objectifs, développement et amélioration des aptitudes). Cet atelier devrait donner lieu à l'amélioration de la productivité et au renouvellement de l'organisation. 1, record 6, French, - Faire%20face%20au%20changement%20et%20y%20survivre
