Adit Resources raising private equity

Adit Resources Corp. of Reno hopes to raise $1.5 million through a private sale of equity to qualified investors.

The company said in a filing with the Security and Exchange Commission last week that it already has raised $1.24 million from about 70 investors.

In a press release late last year, Adit described itself as "a growth-oriented precious metals exploration and development company." It's particularly interested in a Mexican gold prospect.

Adit's president is Robert Wheatley of Reno.
