What ownership stake does Cartier Silver (CRTIF) now hold in Minera Cartier Bolivia after the canceled sale?

Cartier Silver continues to hold a 98% equity interest in Minera Cartier Bolivia. According to Cartier Silver, the returned advance means ownership percentages remain unchanged and no dilution occurred from the proposed 15% transaction.

The US$500,000 advance was returned to the potential buyer after the transaction failed to close. According to Cartier Silver, the company repaid the advance and therefore did not record proceeds from the proposed sale.

Does the canceled 15% sale of Cartier Bolivia affect Cartier Silver (CRTIF) funding or cash position?
