The short version

James McInnes is listed as a director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Dec 2009 and Mar 2013: ALMADEN MINERALS LTD (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2013; $8.93M reported sold to 249 investors) and WILLIAMS CREEK EXPLORATIONS LTD (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — industry reported as "Other" — 2010; $1.92M reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $10.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Barry Smee (3 shared filings), Brian Mitchell (3 shared filings), Clark Lindley (3 shared filings), Gerald Carlson (3 shared filings), HANS BLACK (3 shared filings) and 13 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around James. Each name links to their own page.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Almadex (3 issuers, $6.38M reported sold, 2009–2020).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Almadex has 3 companies on file and $6.38M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 6 public filings for James McInnes and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: PI Financial (US) Corp; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Global Market Development LLC; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

8 differences found between the filings for James McInnes — 2 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 29, 2010

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: PI Financial (US) Corp. — ALMADEN MINERALS LTD

PI Financial (US) Corp. is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Oct 29, 2010) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Worth asking · Dec 23, 2009

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Global Market Development LLC — ALMADEN MINERALS LTD

Global Market Development LLC is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Dec 23, 2009) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Note · Sep 22, 2010 – Oct 29, 2010

Form D filed 37 days after the first sale — ALMADEN MINERALS LTD

The filing says the first sale was Sep 22, 2010. The Form D was filed Oct 29, 2010 — 37 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 22 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Dec 23, 2009 – Mar 7, 2013

Reported revenue range changed between filings — ALMADEN MINERALS LTD

"No Revenues" (Dec 23, 2009); then "$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Oct 29, 2010); then "$1 - $1,000,000" (Mar 7, 2013).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
Note · Oct 17, 2022

Same name, different state: "James McInnes" (A6) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is A1. A separate record, "James McInnes" with address state A6, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Odd Burger Corp (Oct 17, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Dec 23, 2009 to Mar 7, 2013; the other has one filing dated Oct 17, 2022.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Address moved from Whistler, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) to Montreal, Quebec, Canada (as filed: A8) — WILLIAMS CREEK EXPLORATIONS LTD

The people listed on the Sep 27, 2010 filing give Whistler, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1); on the Oct 7, 2010 filing they give Montreal, Quebec, Canada (as filed: A8). The address now on file (666 Burrard Street, Suite 600, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1)) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 46 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
