          Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) has completed the following sales of equity securities in transactions that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), and that have not been reported on our previous periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”):

          Regulation S

          The Company completed the transactions listed below on the basis that the securities were issued to investors pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Act on the basis that the sales of the securities were completed in an “offshore transaction,” as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. The Company did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the shares. Each investor represented to the Company that the investor was not a U.S. person, as defined in Regulation S, and was not acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. person.

The investors agreed by execution of the subscription agreement for the securities: (i) to resell the securities purchased only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act; (ii) that the Company is required to refuse to register any sale of the securities purchased unless the transfer is in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or an exemption from registration under the Act; and (iii) not to engage in hedging transactions with regards to the securities purchased unless in compliance with the Act.
