Hole GW24-03 Cuts 1.17% Copper Equivalent Over 60.60 Meter Core Interval

SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V-SXL) announces it drilled a 60.60 meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent from 72.90 meters to 133.50 meters in hole GW24-03. This interval is located 900 meters to the southeast of a 64.90 meter core interval grading 2.19% copper equivalent in hole GW24-02 that was reported August 7, 2024. GW24-03 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.

The Company drilled hole GW24-03 to test the Farquharson zone as shown on Figure 1 below. The Farquharson zone was discovered by previous workers in 1960 and approximately 30 holes were drilled by a series of companies during the 1960’s and early 1970’s. The drilling pattern suggests that a significant mineral zone was encountered but this historic drilling is not well documented.

The Company also drilled a 64.90 meter core interval grading 2.19% copper equivalent in hole GW24-02 as reported August 7, 2024. Hole GW24-02 was drilled to test the Granges zone at a site 900 meters to the northwest of hole GW24-03 and was drilled beneath hole GW24-01 as shown on Figure 1. The red dot at this site represents the probable location of the hole GR87-41 which was the 1987 discovery hole for the Granges zone. Holes GR87-41, GW24-01 and GW24-02 were drilled at azimuths of 045, 060 and 080 degrees respectively.

QA-QC Procedures: Core was collected from the drill in trays and delivered to a secure logging facility in Bathurst, New Brunswick. After logging, a total of 78 samples were sawn from 112.5 meters of core from hole GW24-03 using a diamond blade. 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 for multi-elements using their methods ME-ICP41 and PGM-ICP23.

The Company reported quartz float grading up to 39.2 g/t gold on its Jake Lee project in the vicinity of the Clarence Stream gold deposit where Galway Metals Inc. is working on a 2.3 M ounce gold deposit in southern New Brunswick.

The Company completed 3 diamond drill holes on the Goodwin copper nickel project in the Bathurst Mining Camp 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 and a 35 meter core interval grading 1.36% copper equivalent in hole GW24-01. Based on the drilling intercepts, the Company expanded the Goodwin Project which now comprises 194 units covering 4,239 hectares.

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

The Company is a project generator and has received significant cash and share payments over the last 9 months as follows; $150,000 cash and 50,000 shares from S2 Minerals Inc.
