About Slave Lake Zinc Corp.
We are advancing plans for an airborne geophysical survey over our 100% -owned
O'Connor Lake property in the Northwest Territories to refine and prioritize drill targets
across our known zinc, lead, copper, silver, and gold showings. This upcoming survey —
which we are currently raising capital to fund —will allow us to image the regional
hydrothermal system to clearly define the highest -priority targets ahead of a future drill
program. These efforts build upon our recent work of expanding our land package and
interpreting first-pass data, continuing to support our core thesis that the O'Connor Lake
and Taltson magmatic zones hold significant potential for world -class base, precious, and
critical metals. While we finalize the survey schedule, we invite stakehold ers to download
our newly published investor deck (View Investor Deck) for a comprehensive overview of
our exploration strategy, and remind investors that our shares trade on the Canadian
Securities Exchange under the ticker SLZ .
