SLAM Acquires Portage VMS Mineral Occurrence

Key Acquisition Expanding SLAM's Footprint In The Bathurst Mining Camp

MIRAMICHI, NB,

Nov. 6, 2017

/CNW/ -

SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL)

("

SLAM

" or the "

Company

") is pleased to announce it

has signed an agreement to acquire the Portage zinc-lead-copper-silver property (the "New Property") from a private company. The new 3-claim

property comprises 38 claim units covering 827 hectares contiguous to the Portage mineral claims already owned by SLAM. The combined

properties cover 3004 hectares accessible by logging roads and located 2 km west and south of the Restigouche VMS deposit owned by Trevali

Mining Corp. in the Bathurst Mining Camp ("BMC") of

New Brunswick, Canada

.

The newly acquired property is host to the Portage volcanogenic massive sulphide occurrence discovered by previous workers in

1976. Approximately 15 diamond drill holes have been drilled on or near this historic mineral occurrence. Significant early results include hole

CP77-57 with a core interval of 3.35m grading 5.81% zinc 2.97% lead 0.61% copper within a 25.30m core interval grading 3.27% zinc 0.52%

lead and 0.30% copper. Mineralization was detected by drilling over a strike length of 450 m and to a depth of 250m and is open at depth with

potential for extensions along strike. The setting and style of mineralization is similar to the

Restigouche

deposit located 4km to the northeast. On

July 27, 2017

, Trevali Mining Corporation reported remaining indicated reserves of 861,882 tonnes grading 7.07% zinc, 5.25% lead 0.33%

copper and 78.16 g/t silver based on historic data for the

Restigouche

deposit. According to Trevali, these reserves remain after past production

of 755,978 tonnes by previous operators at

Restigouche

.

The signed option agreement gives SLAM the right to earn 100% interest in the Portage Lakes property by paying 1,000,000 shares and

C$115,000

cash in stages over a 3 year period. The Vendor retains a royalty of 1.5% Net Smelter return. The Company can buy back 1% of the

royalty for

$2,000,000

. The agreement and share issuance remain subject to approval by the TSXV.

The Company has launched a preliminary prospecting and trenching program to verify the locations of previous drill holes and determine the scope

of this VMS occurrence. This information will be useful in planning future drilling programs.

drilling results compiled from previous exploration workers and government sources. The Company continues with exploration activities to identify

drilling targets associated with historic occurrences and intends to focus on the zinc, lead, copper, silver and cobalt potential of this mineral

producing region.
