For Release 7:23 EST, September 16, 2026
Miramichi, New Brunswick - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (OTCQB: SXLXF) (“SLAM” or
the “Company”) is pleased to report a 14.45 meter (“m”) core interval grading 1.60% copper equivalent
(“Cu-Eq”) from a semi -massive zone in hole GW26 -33. This is in addition to the Company’s new
discoveries that resulted from testing VTEM plate models including the new discovery of massive sulphides
2,000 meters northwest of the Logan Zone in drillhole -GW26-36 reported in the August 14, 2026 news
release.
Analytical results from Diamond Drill Hole GW26-33 include the following:
Cu Eq% values for GW26-33 are recovered grades calculated using a 95% recovery rate and metal prices
for copper, nickel, and cobalt published September 14, 2026 on Daily Metal Price. Core was collected from
the drill in trays and delivered to a secure logging facility in Bathurst, New Brunswick. After logging,
samples were sawn using a diamond blade. Sawn half -core samples were numbered, collected in bags,
tagged, and delivered to ALS in Moncton, NB for multi-element analysis. Samples that were over-limit for
the ICP method were re-analyzed using method OG46. A series of blanks and standards samples are

included at specific intervals for quality assurance. A total of 18 samples were collected from hole GW26-
33.
Hole GW26-33 encountered the mineralized zone beginning at 33.15 core-meters from surface with initial
1.9 core-meter interval of mineralized zone grading 3.48% CuEq between 33.15-35.05 core-meters from
surface. An additional sub-zone between 42.7-47.6 core-meters from surface returned 2.61% CuEq over
4.9 core meters. These intercepts are below the Granges zone.
The Company is pleased with the results and is awaiting assay results from hole GW26-36 that intersected
a broad mineralized zone from 124.4 to 191.8m hosted in a coarse -grained gabbro. The mineralized zone
contains several massive sulphide intervals including 126.5-128.6m, 140.7-142.0m, 142.35-142.4m, 144.5-
144.7m, 151.0-151.7m along with semi-massive zones at 157.0-158.0m, 165.4-166.3m. This new sulphide
discovery is located 2,000 meters northwest of the Logan zone.

MOOSE LAKE GOLD-ANTIMONY PROJECT
The Company has begun trenching on the Moose Lake gold-antimony project with a series of trenches on
the Skull gold antimony occurrence. The Company uncovered the Skull zone with 8 trenches over a strike
length of 250 meters. After the Skull was uncovered, the excavator moved southeast to the Moose Lake
gold-antimony occurrence. The Company has traced the Moose Lake gold antimony zone over a strike
length of 500 meters. According to preliminary fiel d observations, the Skull and Moose Lake zones are
epithermal quartz breccia deposits with visible stibnite (antimony) and arsenopyrite mineralization. Assays
are pending on the first batch of 14 samples collected from Skull and submitted to ALS in Moncton for
Multi-Element-ICP and Gold Fire-Assay-AA. The Moose Lake zone is open in all directions and trenching
continues.
SLAM RESUMES DRILLING AFTER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
SLAM has recently resumed drilling on the Goodwin Project after a scheduled two- week break for
maintenance on the contractor’s drill rig and associated equipment. The Company utilized this time to assess
the current drilling results, and field reconnaissance of future drilling locations, accessibility, and drill pads.
The Company is currently testing an anomaly 200- meters north of GW26- 33. To date, the 2026 drilling
program has drilled 2,754 meters on the Goodwin Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project along with an additional
554 meters on the Company’s wholly owned Jake Lee Gold Project. A total of 1,014 samples has been
collected from the Goodwin Project to date. In a May 27, 2026, news release, SLAM announced a 7,000-
meter diamond drill contract for the 2026 Exploration season. The aim of the Company’s Goodwin drilling
program is to target anomalies identified from the 2026 VTEM Airborne Survey results. Each hole to date
has successfully intercepted sulphide mineralization within the modelled plate anomalies save for hole
GW26-35 that was abandoned due to poor ground conditions at 44-core-meters below ground surface. The
Company is pleased with the results from the VTEM survey to date and have been able to identify numerous
anomalous trends within the Project.

NBJMAP Grant Of $60,000
SLAM Exploration Ltd. has been awarded a grant of $60,000 by the Province of New Brunswick in support
of the 2026 diamond drilling campaign on the Goodwin copper-nickel-cobalt project. The Company wishes
to thank the Province for its continued support and recognition of the strategic mineral potential at Goodwin.
Sampling and QA/QC Procedures
A total of 992 core samples has been collected from the 12 completed holes (GW26-26 through GW26-38,
excluding the abandoned GW26- 35) and submitted to ALS Chemex laboratory in Moncton for multi -
element analysis using ME-ICP41. Quality control samples, comprising certified reference standards and
blanks, were inserted at regular intervals in accordance with industry-standard protocols. All samples were
collected, labelled and sealed by SLAM field personnel. Core is stored securely at the Company's core
logging facility in Bathurst. Assay results will be reported in subsequent news releases as they are received.
About the Goodwin Project
The Goodwin copper -nickel-cobalt project covers 14,000 hectares (35,000 acres) in the mineral -rich
Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of New Brunswick, Canada. Background on the VTEM survey, target
generation and the design of the current 7,000 meter program is set out in the Company's news releases
dated June 1 and June 17, 2026. Significant historical intercepts on the property include a 64.90 meter core
interval grading 2.19% Cu-Eq, including 3.84% Cu-Eq over a 31.20 meter core interval, from hole GW24-
02, as reported in a news release dated August 7, 2024.
About SLAM Exploration Ltd.
SLAM Exploration Ltd. is a publicly listed resource company with a 40,000- hectare portfolio of mineral
claim holdings in the mineral-rich province of New Brunswick. The portfolio is built around the Goodwin

also holds the Jake Lee gold project, where a new gold vein discovered in 2025 has returned up to 40.5 g/t
gold and 63.30 g/t silver from channel samples, and the Menneval gold project, where a soil anomaly
measuring approximately 3,000 by 2,500 meters has returned gold-bearing samples up to 0.683 g/t gold.
SLAM is a project generator and expects to receive further cash and share payments in 2026. In 2025, the
Company received 1,200,000 shares plus cash from Nine Mile Metals Inc. (NINE) pursuant to the Wedge
project agreement, and a cash payment of $60,000 plus 180,000 shares of a private company pursuant to
the Ramsay gold agreement. The Company holds NSR royalties and expects additional cash and share
payments on both the Wedge copper-zinc project and the Ramsay gold project.
