SLAM ACQUIRES NEW LITHIUM PROJECT
ROAD ACCESSIBLE LITHIUM CLAIMS IN NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO
For Immediate Release, October 12, 2023
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV-SXL) is pleased to announce it
has entered into an arm’s length option agreement dated October 11, 2023, to acquire a 100%
interest in the Ear Falls lithium project, located in the vicinity of a new lithium discovery by
Beyond Lithium Inc. (BY on CSE) near Ear Falls in northwestern Ontario.
Project Highlights:
• New Lithium Discoveries : The project comprises 230 claim units covering 4,700
hectares in 2 claim groups (“Northeast” and “Southern”) respectively located 10
kilometres (km) northeast and 12 km south of a new 1,000 metre long spodumene
bearing pegmatite zone with grab samples up to 4.54% Li2O reported by Beyond Lithium
on their Ear Falls Project.
• Northeast Claim Group : The northeast group comprises 50 claims covering 1018
hectares located 10 k m along strike from new lithium discoveries by Beyond Lithium
who recently report ed. “New spodumene bearing pegmatites zone discovered at the Ear
Falls Project with grab samples up to 4.54% Li2O”.
• Mineral Trend: Beyond Lithium also reports “Favorable geology and a highly
fractionated sample located 2 km northeast of the new discovery spodumene zone ”…
This suggests a trend toward SLAM’s Northeast claims. This trend is supported by
aeromagnetic signatures.
• Southern Claim group : The southern group comprises 180 claim units covering 3,678
hectares located 12 kilometres south of the new lithium discovery. The Southern claim
group is underlain by sediments and granitic rocks that are prospective for pegmatites.
• Regional Lithium Play : The Ear Falls lithium project is underlain by volcano-
sedimentary and intrusive rocks transected by a splay of the Lake St. Joseph Fault, a
regional structure that cuts through the Root Bay are a where Green Technology Metals
(ASX-GT1) is drilling to expand a JORC c ompliant resource on the Root Bay an d
McCombe deposits. Pioneer Lithium ( ASX-PLN) recently announced a new pegmatite
discovery on its adjacent Root Bay claims.

• Infrastructure: Both claim groups are accessible through a network of logging roads and
secondary roads off Highway 105 that connects the mining town of Red Lake to the
Trans-Canada highway.
The Optionors: The Ear Falls Lithium Agreement was signed by Perry English and
Gravel Ridge Resources Ltd., jointly, the Optionors along with the CEO of SLAM.
SLAM President Mike Taylor states, “The new lithium discovery of 4.54% Li2O by Beyond
Lithium is very significant. The geological setting is similar to Root Bay where Green
Technology Metals recently announced drilling to expand its lithium deposits . SLAM wishes to
thank the Optionors for this opportunity and is planning an exploration program at Ear Falls. The
Company intends to continue its aggressive pursuit of new exploration opportunities espe cially
in the critical element space.”

About SLAM Exploration Ltd:
The Ear Falls lithium project i s a significant addition to SLAM’s mineral portfolio which has
been mainly focused on the mineral- rich province of New Brunswick where it holds a large
portfolio of gold, REE and base metal projects. E xploration for gold along regional fault
3
structures has resulted in significant gold discoveries. These include the Maisie gold vein system
at SLAM’s wholly owned Menneval project. In addition, SLAM has identified an area with high
potential for gold discoveries in southern New Brunswick where the Company acqu ired the
Shadow Lake, Jake Lee, Rogers Lake and Highway projects . These projects have potential for
Rare Earth Element (REE) minerals as well as cobalt, silver and base metals.
Targeting critical elements as well as gold, the Company aggressively pursues new exploration
opportunities such as the recent Ear Falls Lithium and the Mine Road base metal acquisitions.
The Company has experience in Ontario and generally familiar with the geology of northwestern
Ontario where it holds NSR royalties and may receive addition cash and share payments on the
Reserve Creek and Opikeigen gold projects.
The Company holds NSR royalties and expects additional cash and share payments on the
Wedge, Goodwin, Ra msay and Ferguson projects in the mineral rich Bathurst Mining Camp of
New Brunswick.
