Trouble

DISCIPLINEThe British Columbia

Securities Commission

As part of a settlement agreement in an insider trading case, a B.C. man has agreed to pay $15,695 to the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC), the regulator announced October 14.

The agreement states that John Good sold shares of Abbastar Resources Corp. while in a special relationship with the company and in possession of material information that had not been generally disclosed. Good was a director of Abbastar, a resource exploration company that trades on the TSX Venture Exchange, during the period in question. At the time he made some of the trades at issue, Good was also Abbastar’s president and CEO.

In March and April of 2010, Good sold shares in Abbastar before assay results from one of the company’s projects, the Talbot Lake gold project in Ontario, had been generally disclosed. These assay results were known to Good prior to their public disclosure, and constituted material facts and material changes with respect to Abbastar.

In addition to paying $15,695, Good is also subject to several restrictions under the Securities Act. The executive director of the BCSC has ordered that Good be prohibited from purchasing or trading securities or exchange contracts of any issuer with whom he is in a special relationship for three years, and that he be prohibited from acting as a director or officer of any issuer for one year.
