/Not for Distribution to U.S. Newswire Services or for Dissemination in the United States/
MIRAMICHI, NB, Dec. 8 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: SXL) ("SLAM") announces it plans to complete the second tranche of a non-brokered private placement to raise an additional $1,050,000 through the issuance of 5,000,000 flow-through units (FT Units) at a price of $0.21 per FT Unit. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share and 1/2 common share warrant ("Warrant"). Each full Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one non-flow-through common share at a price of $0.25 per share for a period of 12 months and at a price of $0.40 for an additional 12 months, expiring 24 months after issuance. The private placement remains subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company expects to close this financing on or about 15 December 2010. SLAM will pay a cash finder's fee equal to 5% of the proceeds raised by the MineralFields Group and will issue finders options equal to 7% of the number of FT Units subscribed for by the MineralFields Group. Each finders option is exercisable for non-flow-through units on terms similar to the FT Units.
Proceeds of the private placement will be used to fund drilling and other exploration activities on SLAM's gold, silver and base metal projects in Canada. The Company is currently drilling on both the Reserve Creek gold project and the Silverjack project. In accordance with applicable securities legislation, the FT Units are subject to a "hold period" of four months plus one day from the date of issuance of the FT Units. The financing and issuance of the FT Units are subject to regulatory approval.
"SLAM is encouraged by this continued support from MineralFields Group, especially in view of recent drilling results reported from Reserve Creek and Silverjack", said Mike Taylor, President and CEO, "This will bring our treasury over $5M and fund major drilling programs in 2011."
