Garry L. Anselmo, B.A., Chairman, CEO, President - Silverado Gold Mines Ltd.
Mr. Anselmo brings to the Company 46 years' experience in mining and financing. He has directed Silverado's growth since its inception; funding and spearheading a wide range of successful exploration, development, and mining programs. Mr. Amselmo's extensive experience includes field explorations with America Metals Climax, Anaconda American Brass, and Kennecott Copper where he began work on mineral explorations at age 17.

Garry has proven himself to be a survivor of the 1st magnitude & I for one wish to congratulate him on behalf of all the long faithful Silverado shareholders.

Working in the Alaskan wilderness for so long is a feat in itself. Staking out the claims on the 3 gold/antimony properties, the Nolan, Ester Dome & Eagle Creek and building up all the infrastructues - to-day worth at least 1/2 - 1 Billion dollars has been no small chore. If memory serves me correctly these 3 properties comprise some 30 sq. miles. Their ultimate richness in gold & antimony will prove to be one of the best in North America. Why else would respected companies like Domineck & Domineck & Westridge Management International be working so hard at this very moment to secure necessary financing to bring our dreams into a solid reality? Yes "the best is yet to come!"

One of Garry's greatest attributes, has been his uncanny ability to rise above all the negativity, unjustified bashing & second guessing that has occurred over the past many years. He has risen above the fray, taken the high road & keep his eye on the ball - focussing on what really is important. He has done his best to ignore all the Monday morning quarterbacks who might have played Sunday's game differently. He has adapted his game plan many times to adjust to ever changing financial conditions & restraints & he's still in the game.

In summary Garry, the faithful longs salute you, Irma & the rest of your hardworking staff for bringing this company into respectability & success. Your intelligence & perservance are greatly admired. You will indeed have the last laugh! You deserve it!
