QUEST MINERALS+MNG (WKN: A0M92C) Produktionsstart?
Hab mal runtergebrochen von welcher Stückzahl ich auf die 95 komme. Und dann noch klargestellt, das er mit den R/S nur die Daytrader unterstützt.
Nütztwahrscheinlich nix, befreit aber. :-)
Ist schon krass was hier passiert ist, aber das Geld ist schon vor den letzten beiden R/S futsch gewesen.
Zumindest was mein Depot und mein Gedanken betrifft.
War nichts als Lehrgeld......mal wieder, leider.

Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Quest, commented, "I am pleased with the production reports of the last four days of mining at our Gwenco mining property. Even though we still have a few obstacles to overcome, we are now producing 800 to 1,000 raw tons per shift, and in the next couple of weeks we expect to reach our goal of 1,300 to 1,500 raw tons per shift as the height of the coal seam increases according to our core hole report indications. We also expect to have our third shuttle car underground this week, which will also increase production efficiency."

Gwenco on Track to Emerge From Chapter 11 in the Fourth Quarter of 2009
PATERSON, N.J., Sep 16, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Quest Minerals & Mining Corp. (Pink Sheets:QMIN) (Frankfurt:QMN9), a Kentucky based operator of energy and mineral related properties, today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky confirmed the Plan of Reorganization for Quest's subsidiary, Gwenco, Inc., setting the stage for Gwenco's emergence from Chapter 11 in the fourth quarter of 2009.
At yesterday's hearing, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Joseph M. Scott, Jr. ruled that all the necessary requirements have been met for Gwenco to implement its Third Amended Plan of Reorganization. Secured and non-priority unsecured classes of creditors voted to approve the plan, with over 80% of the unsecured claims in dollar amount voting for the plan, and over 90% of responding lessors supporting it.
"This is a great day for Quest and Gwenco. In reaching our confirmation, we have accomplished a major goal of restructuring our company and creating a stronger Quest," said Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Quest. "As we emerge, the recapitalization of Gwenco will be complete. We have restructured the legacy debt, improved our liquidity, and stabilized the operations. Our emergence also coincides with several other positive steps we have recently undertaken, which include the expansion of our board of directors, our increase in customer orders, our installation of newer and more reliable coal-producing equipment, and the retention of additional experienced operational personnel. As a result of these efforts, we are now consistently producing increased amounts of coal in a more efficient manner, and we anticipate that our efficiency and production will continue to improve as we reach increased coal seams. I want to thank our customers, vendors, creditors, and stockholders for supporting the company through this challenging period."
The Plan of Reorganization will be filed as an exhibit to a current report on Form 8-K, which will be available via the SEC's EDGAR system at www.sec.gov. The Plan of Reorganization will also be available via the court's website at www.kyeb.uscourts.gov. Please note that a PACER password is required to access the documents via the court's website. Gwenco's bankruptcy case number is 07-10081.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
Date and Purpose of Written Consent
On August 27, 2009, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of Quest Minerals & Mining Corp, or Quest, have taken action by written consent to amend Quest’s articles of incorporation to reduce the par value of our common stock from $0.001 per share to $0.0001 per share (the “Charter Amendment”).
Shareholders Entitled to Vote
Approval of the matters described herein requires the written consent of the holders of outstanding stock of each voting group entitled to vote on such matters. As of July 28, 2009, there were 1,156,945,271 shares of our common stock outstanding, 15,526 shares of our series A preferred stock outstanding; 48,284 shares of our series B preferred stock outstanding and 260,000 shares of our series C preferred stock outstanding. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of our series A and series B preferred stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares or series A and series B preferred stock held by such holder are convertible. The voting rights of the series C preferred stock are set forth below.
For the actions described herein, the series A, series B and series C preferred stock vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock determined by multiplying each share of series A preferred stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is $3.00 and the denominator of which is equal to the greater or $0.001 or 40% of the closing price per share of our common stock on the day preceding conversion. As such, as of July 28, 2009, the 15,526 shares of class A preferred stock are entitled to 46,578,000 votes.
Each share of series B preferred stock is convertible into 0.2588827 shares of common stock and as such the 48,284 shares of series B preferred stock are entitled to 12,500 votes.
Pursuant to the articles of amendment to articles of incorporation establishing the series C preferred stock, on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the common stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder of shares of the series C preferred stock shall be entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of the series C preferred stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis, as of the record date for the vote, or, if no such record date is established, as of the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, and (c) 0.000008.
Each share of series C preferred stock is convertible into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing each share of series C preferred stock by 100% of the 5 day average closing price of our common stock for the day immediately preceding conversion. As of July 28, 2009, our series C preferred stock was convertible into 56,521,739 shares. In addition, we have $5,207,595 on outstanding convertible notes (including accrued interest), convertible into our common stock based on a discount to our market price. As of July 28, 2009, these notes were convertible into 5,195,202,910 shares of our common stock. Thus, the series C is entitled to 13,309,376,416 votes.
- 4 -
Accordingly, there are 14,512,912,227 votes outstanding voting together as a single class. Shareholders of record at the close of business on August 27, 2009, will be entitled to receive this notice and information statement.
Proxies
No proxies are being solicited.
Consents Required
The Charter Amendment requires the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock, series A, series B and series C preferred stock voting together as a single class.
On August 27, 2009, Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., the holder of all of our series C preferred stock, who holds voting power consisting of 13,309,376,456 votes (91.70%) delivered a written consent to us adopting the proposal set forth herein. For a detailed breakdown of Mr. Chiaramonte’s holdings please see “COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.”

THE PROPOSALS
PROPOSAL 1
AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION TO REDUCE OUR PAR VALUE
FROM $0.001 PER SHARE TO $0.0001
Introduction
On July 29, 2009, our board of directors unanimously adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to amend our certificate of incorporation to reduce the par value of our common stock from $0.001 per share to $0.0001 per share (the “Charter Amendment”). Our board of directors further directed that this Charter Amendment be submitted for consideration by our stockholders. On August 27, 2009, the holders of our voting stock approved the Charter Amendment.
Effective Time of the Charter Amendment Reducing the Par Value of our Common Stock
We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this information statement is sent to our stockholders, the Charter Amendment effectuating the reduction of the par value of our common stock with the Utah Secretary of State. This Charter Amendment will become effective at the close of business on the date the Charter Amendment is accepted for filing for the Utah Secretary of State. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made on or after October 16, 2009.
A copy of the Charter Amendment is attached to this information statement as Appendix A.
Reasons for Reducing the Par Value of our Common Stock
We have a substantial amount of convertible securities (currently $5,207,595) and many of these securities have conversion prices based on market price or a discount thereof. On July 29, 2009, our stock price was trading at $0.0004. To the extent that our common stock trades below par value, it impedes our ability to effectuate conversions as we cannot honor conversions at an amount below our par value. Accordingly, our note holders are reluctant to convert their notes when our stock price is trading below par value. Furthermore, under some of these notes, we have affirmatively agreed to reduce our par value to $0.0001 per share and failure to do so would result in a default under these notes. Any default under the notes would give such holders the right to declare their notes immediately due and payable. We do not currently have sufficient funds to repay the notes in full.
In addition, on January 28, 2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gwenco, Inc. commenced a bankruptcy case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern Division of Kentucky, Ashland Division. We are currently overseeing Gwenco’s operations as a debtor in possession, subject to court approval of matters outside the ordinary course of business. On January 2009, the holders of Gwenco’s existing debt obligations agreed on terms of an exit financing facility to be provided subsequent to confirmation of Gwenco’s plan of reorganization. The terms of this facility require us to reduce the par value of our common stock to $0.0001 per share. Failure to comply with this condition could cause the exit facility financier to declare a default and request the bankruptcy court to convert Gwenco's petition to Chapter 7 and liquidate all of Gwenco's assets. In addition, we might be forced to file for protection under Chapter 11 as we are the primary guarantor on a number of Gwenco's contracts.
Accordingly, we believe it is important to have a reduced par value to satisfy our obligations to our note holders and to facilitate the approval of Gwenco’s petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11.

Within the limits imposed by applicable law, described below, shares of common stock could be issued in one or more transactions. Depending upon the nature and terms thereof, such a transaction or transactions could make a takeover of Quest more difficult and, therefore, less likely. An issuance of additional shares of common stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of existing shares of common stock and diluting the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Quest. The board of directors has no present plans, understandings, or agreements to issue the additional shares to be authorized.
Our charter currently provides that preferred stock may be issued in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, to determine the designation of any such series and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications and limitations of such preferred stock. Depending upon the nature and terms of any such designated and issued preferred stock, such issuance could make a takeover of our company more difficult and therefore, less likely. An issuance of any shares of preferred stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of existing shares of common stock. The board of directors has no present plans, understandings, or agreements to issue any preferred stock. Other than our preferred stock as discussed above, there are no provisions of our articles, bylaws, employment agreements or credit agreements that have material antitakeover consequence.
The board of directors does not currently intend to propose any amendments to Quest’s articles of incorporation which might be deemed to have the effect of discouraging takeover attempts, although such amendments or other programs may be considered by the board in the future if it believes the interests of the stockholders would be protected thereby. Management might be able to use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent shareholders. However, it should be noted that management and its family members currently control 92% of the outstanding votes and consider a hostile takeover attempt very unlikely.

Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On September 15, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky confirmed the Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) for Quest Minerals & Mining Corp.’s wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary, Gwenco, Inc. (All defined terms shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.) The Court entered the Order confirming the Plan on September 30, 2009. Secured and non-priority unsecured classes of creditors voted to approve the plan, with over 80% of the unsecured claims in dollar amount voting for the plan, and over 90% of responding lessors supporting it. The Plan will become effective when the Confirmation Order becomes a Final Order.
There are 5 classes of Claims under the Plan: (i) Class 1—The Interstellar Duke claim, in the aggregate amount of approximately $998,470 (with interest accruing thereon); (ii) Class 2—Priority Claims, consisting of an IRS claim in the amount of $20,000; (iii) Class 3—General Unsecured Claims, in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,394,876; (iv) Class 4-Subordinated Claims, consisting of claims of affiliates of the debtor totaling $2,750,000 and (v) Class 5—Equity Holder Interest.
The Class 1 Claim will be satisfied by the issuance to Interstellar Holdings, LLC of a 5 year secured convertible promissory note, which note is convertible into stock of Quest Minerals & Mining Corp., at a rate of the lower of (i) $0.01 per share and (ii) 40% of the average of the three lowest per shares market values of Quest during the 10 trading days before a conversion, provided that Interstellar shall be prohibited from converting if such conversion would result in it holding more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of Quest Minerals & Mining Corp.
The Class 2 Claims are to be paid in full on the Effective Date of the Plan, unless the Holder of a Class 2 Claim has agreed to different treatment under the Plan.
The Class 3 Claims will be satisfied by cash payments equal to the value of their claim on the earlier of (i) the 60th month after the effective date of the Plan or (ii) the date on which, in Gwenco’s sole discretion, proceeds from the exit facility are sufficient to satisfy the claims. Further, Class 3 Claimholders shall receive their pro-rata share of royalty payments to reduce their claims beginning in the month following the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain creditors in this Class negotiated settlements as more specifically set forth in the Plan and in certain settlement agreements approved by the Court.
The Class 4 Claims will be paid after holders of all allowed claims in other classes have been paid in full. The Class 5 Claims were deemed unimpaired.
Gwenco, as a reorganized debtor, will operate its coal mining business and will use current and future income from operations to meet current and future expenses and to make payments called for under the Plan. In addition, the Court approved an exit facility under which Interstellar Holdings LLC will provide up to $2 million in financing to Gwenco.

Aber für ein Volumen von 27 Millionen Shares eher ein bißchen dürftig.
Da dürften schätzungsweise wieder 10 Millionen shares diluted worden sein. Andernfalls müssten ja alle O/S gestern den Eigentümer gewechselt haben??
Wie siehst du das ganze, heshes??
