SLAM Exploration Ltd.

Logan Zone Core Interval From 128.3 Meters to 215.6 Meters

November 26th, 2024 – TheNewswire – Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”) (TSXV-SXL) is pleased to announce it has drilled an 87 meter zone of mineralization in hole GW24-15.  This hole is located 50 meters southeast of hole GW24-14 on the Logan zone. Both holes hit zones of pyrrhotite with visible copper mineralization in some intervals. These are the latest results from Slam’s wholly owned Goodwin Project located 35 kilometers south of the Caribou mine and mill complex in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of New Brunswick.

Hole GW24-15 intersected a 73 meter zone of 8 to 12% sulphides followed by a 14 meter zone of 30 to 40% sulphdes. Logging and sampling are in progress. GW24-15 is a 50 meter step out to the southeast of hole GW24-14.  The preliminary log is tabled below:

Figure 1 show the mineral zone comprised mainly of pyrrhotite with visible copper mineralization from 200 meters to 215 meters in diamond drill hole GW24-15. To our knowledge, this mineralization is deeper than any previously reported mineralization at Goodwin.

Figure 2 shows the Logan zone drilling plan. Assays are pending on holes GW24-08, GW24-09, GW24-13 and GW24-14. These 4 holes were drilled at a dip of 50 degrees and an azimuth of 060. Logging and sampling are in progress on hole GW24-15 which was drilled at a dip of 60 degrees toward azimuth 060. All 5 holes are shown below on an aeromagnetic gradient background derived from Slam’s Bathurst Mining Camp airborne survey flown by Fugro in 2003. The pink area is a zone of high magnetics.

According to historical records, 11 holes were drilled on the Logan zone from 1960 to 1997. The location of these holes is unknown with the exception of 2 holes ML97-03 and ML97-05 drilled in 1997 from points located northeast of hole GW24-15 as shown on the map above.

QA-QC Procedures: The core was delivered to a secure facility in Bathurst New Brunswick for detailed logging and sampling. The core descriptions and the summary log for hole GW24-15 and other holes are based on visual observations of the core. The results for holes GW24-01 to GW24-03 were previously reported by SLAM. The historic results from previous workers are derived from New Brunswick assessment files that predate NI43-101 regulations. They can only be validated by additional drilling.

About SLAM Exploration Ltd: About SLAM Exploration Ltd: SLAM Exploration Ltd. is a public resource company with a substantial portfolio of mineral claim holdings in the mineral-rich province of New Brunswick. The Company recently completed three diamond drill holes on the Goodwin copper-nickel project in the BMC of New Brunswick. Highlights include:

  • A 60.60-meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent in hole GW24-03 

  • A 64.90-meter core interval grading 2.14% copper equivalent in hole GW24-02 

The Company has reported an additional 12 holes drilled in a follow-up program currently in progress at Goodwin. Assays are pending on holes GW24-04 to GW24-15.

 

SLAM has discovered multiple gold veins on its wholly owned Menneval gold project. The Company has reported gold-bearing core intervals, including 162.5 g/t gold over 0.2 meters and 56.90 g/t gold over 0.5 meters (news releases dated December 13, 2021, and November 22, 2022). Additionally, the Company reported quartz float grading up to 39.2 g/t gold on its Jake Lee project, located near the Clarence Stream gold deposit, where Galway Metals Inc. is working on a 2.3-million-ounce gold deposit in southern New Brunswick.

SLAM also owns the Mine Road copper-zinc-silver project, adjacent to the former producing Heath Steele Mines property in the BMC. Previous workers have reported successful diamond drill holes at Mine Road, including IL2014-003, which intersected a 9-meter core interval grading 14.51% zinc, 5.86% lead, 0.67% copper, and 139.9 g/t silver in the volcanogenic massive sulphide Railroad Zone (Doe Run Canadian Exploration ULC; 2015, New Brunswick Assessment Files, Report of Work 477877). The Railroad Zone is located 7,000 meters east of the 20-million-tonne former producing Heath Steele B Zone.

Slam is a project generator and has received significant cash and share payments over the past year. The Company holds NSR royalties and expects additional cash and share payments from the Wedge copper-zinc project and the Ramsay, Reserve Creek, and Opikeigen gold projects.
