Logan Zone Extensions at Depth of 200 Meters in GW24-14
November 20th, 2024 – TheNewswire - Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”) (TSXV-SXL) is pleased to announce it has drilled massive sulphides at the bottom of a 62 meter zone of net textured sulphides in hole GW-14. The Company also reports a 30 meter mineral zone in hole GW24-13. Both holes were drilled on the Logan zone 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.
GW24-13 intersected a 30 meter zone of disseminated to net-textured sulphide mineralization. Hole GW24-13 was 35 meter step ahead of hole GW24-09. Hole GW24-14 intersected a 9.30 meter zone of 40% to 85% sulphides at the bottom of a 62.00 meter mineral zone of net textured pyrrhotite.GW24-14 was set up 60 meters behind hole GW24-09 and designed to test the depth extent of the mineral zone previously reported in GW24-09. Assays are pending on 166 samples from holes GW24-13 and GW24014. The summary logs are tabled below:

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 holes GW24-13 and GW24-14 are based on visual observations of the core. The results for holes GW24-01 to GW24-03 were previously reported by SLAM in news releases dated between July 30, 2024 and August 12, 2024. 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:
The Company has reported additional holes drilled in a follow-up program currently in progress at Goodwin. Assays are pending.
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.
