Attention Business/Financial Editors: SLAM RECEIVES ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT SUPPORT FROM PINETREE CAPITAL
Funding To Drill Bonanza Grade Gold Deposit At Reserve Creek
MIRAMICHI, NB, Sept. 30 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: SXL) pleased to announce that one of its major shareholders, Pinetree (TSX-PNP) ("Pinetree") has demonstrated continued support for SLAM ownership of an additional 5,000,000 common shares ("Common
("SLAM") is Capital Ltd by acquired Shares") and 5,000,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") through participation in the private placement announced by SLAM in a news release on 23 September 2010. Pinetree reports it now holds 17% of SLAM shares on a partially diluted basis.
SLAM is encouraged by the support from Pinetree and other participants in the private placement which raised a total of $2,263,900. The majority of proceeds from the private placement will be used for the Reserve Creek gold deposit where SLAM expects to start drilling on or about 15 October 2010. The drilling program will step out from intercepts recently drilled at SLAM's wholly owned Reserve Creek gold deposit as reported by news release on 17 August, 2010. Highlights include a 16.85 m core interval grading 16.45 g/t gold with individual samples ranging up to 274 g/t gold over 0.5 m. More information about Reserve Creek including maps can be viewed at this site: http://www.slamresources.com/projects/ontario/reserve-creek-gold/.
Pinetree describes its significant position in a news release on 29 September, 2010 as follows: "As a result of this transaction, Pinetree held, as at September 28, 2010, an aggregate of 18,235,500 common shares of SLAM, including the Common Shares and rights to acquire an additional 9,350,000 common shares of SLAM upon exercise of certain convertible securities (the "Convertible Securities") including the Warrants. In the event that the Convertible Securities are fully exercised, the holdings of Pinetree represents a total of 27,585,500 common shares of SLAM, or approximately 17.0% of all issued and outstanding common shares as at September 28, 2010, calculated on a partially diluted basis assuming the exercise of the Convertible Securities only. This transaction was made for investment purposes and Pinetree could increase or decrease its investment in SLAM depending on market conditions or any other relevant factor."
