Dear Shareholder,
As part of our activities to advance the Montanore Silver-Copper Project toward development, we urgently request your vote in order to fulfill certain requirements of our successful financing which closed in July 2014.
Due to the need for increased communications with shareholders as compared to our regular Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, we have authorized Alliance Advisors to communicate with you. Alliance Advisors is also authorized to accept your vote over the phone in anticipation of the special shareholders’ meeting, which has been adjourned until Tuesday, October 28, 2014.
We encourage you to give Alliance Advisors a call at 877-777-8133 to vote your proxy, as indicated in Alliance’s instructions, or feel free to utilize the instructions on the proxy card to vote online or over the telephone.
Successful completion of this meeting, and approval of both proposals, will assist us in meeting the requirements of our financing. The Proxy Statement describes the proposals that we are asking you to approve. We are also available if you have any questions.
We greatly appreciate your ongoing support and consideration to assist in this matter by voting in favor of the proposals.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Glenn M. Dobbs
