The Private Placement is offered to investors on a non-brokered basis.

Proceeds received from the Units will be used for general corporate purposes.  Proceeds received from the FT Units will be used to fund exploration on SLAM's gold and base metal projects in New Brunswick.  The main focus is the Menneval gold project where SLAM intends to continue its program to extract and process a 2,000 tonne bulk sample from the high grade Maisie gold vein.  The Company also intends to complete preliminary work that may include trenching and diamond drilling on its wholly owned Connector and Lower 44 zinc-lead-silver properties.
