SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) announces it drilled a 64.90 meter core interval grading 2.19% copper equivalent from 23.60 meters to 88.50 meters in hole GW24-02. This interval includes a 31.20 meter zone grading 3.84% copper equivalent and individual samples ranging up to 12.51% copper equivalent over 0.50 meters. GW24-02 is one of 3 holes drilled on SLAM’s wholly owned Goodwin claims located 5 kilometers southwest of the Half Mile copper zinc silver deposit in the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick.

Copper equivalent calculated from metal prices posted August 5th, 2024 on Daily Metal Price and https://www.kitco.com/ .

The above assay results are from 98 samples sawn from 141.4 meters of core in hole GW24-02 and delivered to ALS Chemex Inc. ALS Chemex analyzed all the samples with ME-ICP41 and PGM-ICP23 methods. Hole GW24-02 was drilled beneath hole GW24-01 and rotated 20 degrees as shown on the aeromagnetic gradient map below. Hole GW24-01 intersected 35 meters grading 1.36% copper equivalent as reported July 31, 2024. After hole GW24-02, the Company drilled hole GW24-03 at a site 900 meters to the southeast as shown on the aeromagnetic map.

Assays are pending on 78 samples that represent 112.5 meters of core sawn from hole GW24-03 including 58 meters of 15% pyrrhotite mineralization.

QA-QC Procedures: Core samples were delivered from the drill to a secure logging facility in Bathurst, New Brunswick. After logging, samples were sawn using a diamond blade saw. Sawn half-core samples were collected in bags, labelled with sample tags and delivered to ALS Chemex Ltd. in Moncton New Brunswick. SLAM inserted standards and blanks into the sample series. ALS Chemex analyzed all samples using the multi-element analyses using their methods ME-ICP41 and PGM-ICP23.
