South American Silver Corp…………. announces that it has entered into an agreement with Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. (the “Lead Underwriter”), on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (together with Lead Underwriter, the “Underwriters”), to sell 6,350,000 Units (“Units”) at a price of $0.63 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $4.0 million, on a “bought deal”, private placement basis (the “Offering”).

Completion of the Offering is scheduled for July 12, 2010 and is subject to……
South American Silver Corp. (“South American Silver” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed 5,310,000 units, for gross proceeds of $3,345,300, of its previously announced bought deal private placement of an aggregate of 6,350,000 Units (“Units”), priced at $0.63 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $4,000,500 (the “Offering”).

Thusly, Wellington gets to sweat on whether it’ll be holding a bag full of paper this time next week. You gotta wonder whether the unpopularity of this bought deal has anything to do with this, inquiring minds and all that jazz………..
