Commentary

"The Weepah purchase agreement negotiated by Sniper CFO John Cumming and I removed all uncertainty regarding title thereby significantly reducing the investment risk for both existing shareholders and future new investors," said Sniper President Scott Baxter. "Sniper will get clear title to 100% of Weepah without paying any cash. We are now clear to focus on raising capital that will devoted to a drill program which could commence as soon as funds are in hand. Additionally settling Sniper's only significant arm's length debt with stock will preserve all new cash raised for Weepah drilling. Management's opinion is that a prompt drill program at Weepah is the fastest path to increasing shareholder value and with title now secure I look forward to moving the project forward as soon as possible."
