Narrative:

On final approach when flaps were selected to the 25 degree position the crew received an EICAS message that the leading edge slats were in an asymmetric position also accompanied with a leading edge indicator light above the flap indicator. The flap indicator was indicating 25 degrees. The crew informed the tower that a problem existed with the aircraft slat system and needed to discontinue the approach at which time a published missed approach was initiated shortly followed by heading and altitude instructions from the control tower. The emergency checklist was complied with and all applicable actions taken. An emergency was declared and the aircraft landed without incident.
