Director and CFO Eugene Beukman of Vancouver, BC, has a wealth of experience in the management and advancement of public companies. Director John Martin, P. Eng of Miramichi, NB, is a metallurgist with a long and distinguished career involving management of exploration, mine development and production in both base metals and gold. Going forward, the new board is implementing cost control measures but will continue to direct the corporate focus on the advancement of the Maisie gold zone. With significant gold visible at surface, the Company believes that once the scope of the deposit is confirmed, a relatively low capital expenditure will be required to bring it to production.

About the Maisie Zone:

Since discovery in 2012, the Company has traced the Maisie zone over a 700 m strike length and to a depth of 45 m with trenching and drilling programs. Drill hole locations are shown at http://www.slamresources.com/projects/new-brunswick/menneval. During the 2012 trenching program, the Company reported numerous sites of visible gold with bonanza grade assays as it uncovered the vein system. Photos of selected drill core with visible gold can be viewed at http://www.slamresources.com/core-shack/.
