With their help and efforts we will be able to bring in the financing required to move into full scale production while maintaining our present drilling programs that will continue to enhance our reserves and resources at our Nolan Gold/Antimony Project in Alaska. This engagement will begin to anchor our efforts in the North American market and form a base to work from," said Garry Anselmo, President.

The engagement of D&D Securities was lead by Westridge Management International Ltd., "WMI", who Silverado has been working with since March 2009, and who enjoy a strong relationship with D&D.
