SLAM Acquires Gold Claim With Float Up To 302.5 G/T Gold
New Gold C laim Adjacent to Slam’s Jake Lee Gold Project
For Release 7:30 AM, March 27, 2025
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV-SXL) (“SLAM” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement to acquire mineral rights for the
2640 hectare Love Lake gold claim where previous workers reported quartz float grading up to
302.5 grams per tonne (“g/t) gold. T he claim is adjacent to Slam’s wholly -owned Jake Lee gold
project where Slam has discovered quartz float grading up to 39.3 g/t gold and gold-bearing soil
samples up to 980 ppb gold.
Highlights of exploration results reported by previous workers and by Slam are as follows:
• Visible gold in quartz boulders grading up to 302.5 g/t gold (Reference 1 below);
• One soil sample grading 10,000 parts per billion (“ppb”) gold previously reported by
Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (Reference 2) and shown below on Figure 1;
• Fifty four (54) soil samples grading from 20 ppb to 256 ppb gold (Reference 2);
• Two hundred and twenty (220) soil samples grading from 10 ppb to 19 ppb gold
(Reference 2);
• Slam has detected similar gold bearing soil samples up to 980 ppb gold (Reference 3) on
its wholly owned Jake Lee claims as shown on Figures 1 and 2;
• Slam has discovered gold boulders grading up to 39.3 g/t gold (Reference 3) on its
wholly owned Jake Lee claims as shown on Figure 2;
• These gold occurrences trace out a gold system in soils, boulders and outcrop that trends
easterly for 13,000 meters from the Edge 16 gold occurrence on Figure 1 to the CT vein
on Figure 2. The pattern of soil anomalies suggests the gold may be associated with a set
of northwest-trending structures.
• The geological setting is similar to the nearby Clarence Stream Deposit where Galway
Metals Inc. currently has NI43- 101 compliant Indicated Mineral Resources of 922,000
ounces of gold and Inferred Mineral Resources of 1,334,000 ounces of gold.

Slam intends to commence the 2025 exploration program at Jake lee and Love Lake as soon as to
weather conditions permit. The program will begin with prospecting on multiple gold soil targets
grading up to 10,000 ppb on the Love Lake claim and up to 980 ppb gold on the Jake Lee claims.
The main priorities are to find the bedrock source of the 302.5 g/t gold float on the Love Lake
claim and the source of the 39.3 g/t float on the Jake Lee claim.

On or before the 2nd anniversary $200,000.00 $60,000.00
On or before the 3rd anniversary* $600,000.00 $100,000.00
On or before the 4th anniversary** $800,000.00 $150,000.00
Total $1,675,000.00 $350,000.00
*Third year expenditures to include a 1,500 meter drilling program.
**Fourth year expenditures to include a 2,000 meter drilling program.

Upon completion of the work expenditures and cash payments, the Company will operate the
Love Lake Property as an 80/20 joint venture (the “JV”) with Grindstone and both parties are to
fund exploration and development as to 80% and 20% participation. If either party’s interest
falls below 10%, the interest will convert to a 2% NSR buyable down to 1% for 500oz gold or
cash equivalent. The Agreement is subject to approval from Slam’s Board of Directors.

Goodwin Copper Nickel Project: The Company has previously reported significant copper,
nickel and cobalt intercepts from 15 diamond drill holes completed on the Goodwin copper
nickel project in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of New Brunswick. Based on the drilling
results, the Company expanded the Goodwin Project to 11,450 hectares covering a 25 kilometer
stretch of aeromagnetic anomalies associated with gabbro bodies and potential copper nickel
occurrences.
Granges Copper Nickel Cobalt Zone : Goodwin drilling highlights include a 64.90 meter core
interval grading 2.14% copper equivalent drilled in hole GW24-02 on the Granges zone.
Logan Copper Nickel Cobalt Zone: All five holes on the Logan Zone cut copper nickel cobalt
mineralization including 12.14 meters grading 1.54% copper equivalent in hole GW24- 14 and
17.10 meters grading 1.22% copper equivalent in GW24-15.
Farquharson Copper Nickel Cobalt Zone : The 5 Farquharson holes define a consistent zone
of mineralization with dimensions 150 meters long by 50 meters thick by 100 meters deep . The
zone is open to expand along strike as well as at depth beneath a 60.60 meter core interval
grading 1.17% copper equivalent in Hole GW24-03.

mobilize its prospecting team search for the source of these gold boulders as soon as weather
conditions permit.
Slam drilled 2 holes and cut multiple gold- bearing veins were on its wholly owned Menneval
