Question
Regarding Wild River Resources. Apparently there was a reverse takeover in 2009 of Crescent Point Energy by Wild River Resources Ltd. Is this the same Wild River Resources that changed it's name to OSE Corp? I own 2000 shares purchased in 1996 and am confused. Thanks

Answer
Bill, it appears that it is not. The first Wild River Resources was Wild River Resources Inc., incorporated in Ontario, which changed its name several times. The other company is Wild River Resources Ltd., and is not related. Similar names are very common in Canada, which is why you have to look at the specific name (in this case, the Inc. and Ltd. tell you they are different) as well as the Place of Incorporation.
