The core intervals described above are drilled intervals. True thicknesses are unknown. Holes RS10-16 is the last of 3 diamond drill holes completed at Reserve Creek. Holes RS10-14, 15 and 16 were drilled from the same site at angles of 50 degrees, 60 degrees and 72 degrees respectively. All 3 holes intersected mineralized iron formation and volcanics with visible gold.

Reserve Creek gold mineralization is hosted within iron formations and mafic volcanics similar to the rocks hosting the historic Pickle Crow gold mine near Pickle Lake, Ontario. These volcano-sedimentary sequences are part of the Uchi Subprovince, a huge system of greenstone belts extending from Lake Winnipeg to the Hudson Bay lowlands hosting the world-famous Red Lake gold mining camp as well as the Pickle Lake and Fort Hope gold areas in Ontario.

President and CEO Mike Taylor comments: "SLAM's objective in the Fort Hope area is to develop high grade Red Lake style gold deposits. Although still in an early stage of testing, results to date clearly suggest a high grade zone of gold mineralization within the auriferous envelope at Reserve Creek. The next stage will be a series of step-out fan drilling to better define the high grade system in three dimensions. "

All drill cores were delivered from the drill sites to a facility in Fort Hope for logging and sampling. Selected cores were split or sawn with half retained for reference. Sampled halves were shipped to Act-Labs in Thunder Bay for gold assay. Standards and blanks were inserted in the sample batches to augment the Quality Assurance and Quality Control program of duplicates and standards utilized by the laboratory. Michael R. Taylor, P.Geo. President and CEO of SLAM is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein.

The drilling activities have been performed in consultation with Eabametoong First Nation ("EFN") in accordance with a recently signed Exploration Agreement. This Agreement calls for EFN and SLAM to work cooperatively to advance the gold potential of the Fort Hope area.
