Spinco Proposed Seed Financing MOA shareholders are welcome to participate in Spinco seed financing

Spinco will require additional financing:

Marathon and Mountain Lake management are investing cash of

$300,000 and $200,000, respectively, in seed financing for Spinco

The above seed financing was done at $0.20 per unit consisting of

one share and one-half share purchase warrant

Some additional financing is required so Spinco will have sufficient

working capital to apply for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange

It is proposed that up to an additional $1,500,000 in seed financing

be raised for Spinco - $300,000 at the same $0.20 per unit and

$1,200,000 in flow through at $0.25 per FT unit
