Connecting the dotsIt has been fun gang... But we are just getting started... Much more to come... Take a look at a quick review and thoughts on SLAMS crown jewels... Their NB properties... I have not gone into fine details on each prop, but have included links for further DD for anyone who is serious about their investment in SLAM...
My comments are at the bottom in pink highlight.
First -
SLAM's Nash
Zinc-Lead-Silver-Copper-Cobalt-Gold
Nash Creek Zinc-Lead-Silver
SLAM reported a tonnage estimate from its 100% owned Nash Creek deposit located 20 km west of the Belledune seaport in New Brunswick on 12 February 2009. Details of this estimate have been published in a 43-101 compliant Technical Report prepared by Wardrop Engineering Ltd. and can be viewed at

Then NEWS on deep mineralization...(very important)
https://www.slamresources.com/PDF/SLAM-11-Mar_01_NC_DDH.pdf
As well, we have as part of that news...(a major hint)
DMS Testing: Five of the samples representing 25.99m of mineralized core were submitted to the RPC
research facility for DMS testing. The DMS process is designed to separate the relatively dense zinc-lead
bearing sulphide mineralization from the lighter wall-rock based upon the difference in specific gravity.
This test may determine whether the Nash Creek ores can be upgraded prior to milling. Upon
production, this process would effectively increase the grade going to mill, thereby reducing energy
consumption and transportation costs as well as extending mine life.
Then we have : the TSN project...keep reading...
TSN Zinc-Lead-Silver-Copper-Cobalt-Gold
SLAM made a new discovery of volcanogenic massive sulphides in 2008 and drilled 3 diamond drill holes in early 2009 at SLAM's wholly owned TSN project
in the Bathurst Mining Camp. The initial hole intersected
widespread stringer mineralization comprising pyrrhotite and pyritye with local copper, lead and zinc. This hole tested a VTEM anomaly located near the occurrence of massive sulphides discovered in 2008.
Add to this: The Costigan deposit
Costigan Zinc-Lead-Silver
SLAM drilled 11 holes into the Costigan base metal sulphide deposit in 2008.
All 11 holes intersected sulphide mineralization over core lengths ranging from 3.0 to 28.4 metres and zinc + lead grades ranging from 1.85% to 9.96%. The deposit is open at depth and along strike.
Amazing, but we cannot forget: Nepisiguit
Nepisiguit Zinc-Lead-Silver-Copper
SLAM has drilled 15 holes to date on its
100% owned Nepisiguit zinc-lead-silver deposit. Zone A was tested by 13 holes. Eleven of these intersected massive sulphide intercepts over a strike length of 300 metres and to a depth of 150 metres. Estimated true widths range from 1.0 to 9.1 metres.
Drilled intervals include grades for zinc ranging up to 13.92% and lead up to 3.09%. Silver ranges from 13 to 117.5 g/t.
And Lastly for New Brunswick: SILVERJACK
https://www.slamresources.com/projects/new-brunswick/silverjack/ (this is a link to the table of results)
Silverjack
SLAM has announced results from all 20 holes in its 1780 metre drilling program on its Silverjack deposit located
adjacent to its wholly owned Nash Creek zinc-lead-silver deposit in northern New Brunswick. Several holes intersected high grade base metal sulphide mineralization with values ranging up to
2.69% copper, 14.60% zinc, 12.8% lead and 653 g/t silver (19.05 oz/ton)
Slam has all of these properties located within spitting distance from a major drilling program that the worlds largest zinc producers (Xstrata Zinc & Votorantim are behind... The other venture company involved (ELNINO) has quietly been moving higher. Take a look at the action... Someone has been accumulating shares there... Coincidently, we have Dominick accumulating SLAM big time for someone... As has already recently been discussed on the board here, major bucks are likely being dumped into upgrading Xstrata's NB assets https://www.xstrata.com/content/assets/pdf/xz_speech_201010131_lme.en.pdfLook at slide 16-21... Very interesting how they are adding Germany and Spain to the mix... Also of interest is the projections of efficiency for NB production vs other deposits... hmmmmmmm....I am long and strong on SLAM. I originally purchased SLAM as a result of DD completed on NB props. To me, as a result of what is happening in NB, and who is involved, NB assets remain, in my eyes, SLAMS crown jewel. RC is gravy, but NB is going to heat things up big time. PLEASE DO SOME DD. There are many good links in this post to put some pieces together... GLTA
