SLAM ACQUIRES THREE NEW ANTIMONY
SHOWINGS IN BATHURST MINING CAMP
Gold and Critical Elements in the Mineral-Rich Province of New Brunswick, Canada
For Release 7:23 EST, April 07, 2026
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (“SLAM” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce it has acquired the Moose Lake antimony project through an option agreement
signed March 30, 2026. The project comprises 2 separate claims with three antimony showings that grade
up to 4.32% antimony and 0.894 g/t gold according to previous workers. Contiguous to Moose Brook,
SLAM’s wholly -owned Slacks Lake claim group covers a number of antimony anomalies detected in
regional till surveys. Together the Moose Lake and Slacks Lake claims cover 3,567 hectares of road-
accessible mineral potential underlain by volcano-sedimentary rocks located in the mineral -rich Bathurst
Mining camp of New Brunswick, Canada.
The Moose Lake project covers t he Moose Lake , Stewart and Skull antimony gold showings all
discovered in 1986. At Skull, trenches dug by previous workers uncovered a highly silicified breccia zone
with grab samples ranging up to 4.32% antimony and 0.894 g/t gold. The breccia zone was traced over a
strike length of 120 meters, a width of 20 meters and to a depth of 120 meters by trenching and drilling.
The Skull showing is located on claim 3499 as shown on Figure 1.

Previous workers reported grab samples ranging up to 1.67% antimony and 0.16 g/t gold at the Moose
Lake occurrence, located 3,700 meters southeast of the Skull showing. The Moose Lake occurrence is a
similar breccia zone and was traced over a 300 meter strike length by historic trenches . The Moose Lake
occurrence is listed as number 796 in the NBDNRE Mineral Occurrence database.
The Stewart showing (NBDNRE 795) is located 4,700 meters southeast of the Skull antimony
occurrence. Previous workers trenched an area 60 m by 20 m and chip samples were taken over widths
from 0.4 to 1.5 meters with a maximum value of 0.57% antimony.
Several antimony till anomalies occur southeast of the Stewart showing as shown on Figure 2. These
anomalies are located on claim 11731 which is wholly owned by SLAM. The Company intends to
explore these anomalies in addition to the newly acquired antimony showings in 2026.

The Stewart, Moose Lake and Skull antimony showings are numbered 795, 796 and 797 in the Mineral
Occurrence Database of the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy (“NBDNRE”).
The initial discovery and exploration is discussed in Assessment Report 47 3436, “Report of Geology,
Geochemistry and Geophysics, Slacks Lake Property, Falconbridge Ltd.” by Richard Cote, 1987.
To acquire the claims, the Company entered into an arm’s length option agreement with prospectors (the
“Optionors”) on March 30 , 2026 (the “ Agreement”), to acquire a 100% int erest in 2 mineral claims
known as the Moose Brook antimony claims (the “ Property”) located in the Bathurs t Mining Camp of
New Brunswick. To acquire a 100% interest in and to the Property, SLAM must, over a period of three
years, pay the Optionor s an aggregate of CAD $80,000 and issue to the Optionor s a total of 600,000

On or before 2nd anniversary of the Agreement 140,000 $20,000
On or before 3rd anniversary of the Agreement 240,000 $40,000
Total 600,000 $80,000

Upon SLAM earning 100% interest, the Optionor will retain a 2% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on
the Property. SLAM shall have the right to buy back one-half of the Royalty equal to 1.0% NSR for one
million dollars ($1,000,000) at any time and the right of first refusal on the remaining NSR.
The Agreement and proposed share issuances remain subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
All security issuances will be subject to a statutory hold period of four (4) months and one (1) day from
issuance in accordance with Canadian securities laws. No finders’ fees were paid on this Agreement.
Warrant Extension: The Company also announces that it plans for a one (1) year extension (the
“Warrant Extension ”) to extend the expiry dates of 2,700,000 share purchase warrants (the
“Warrants ”), originally granted pursuant to a private placement that closed in two (2) tranches on April
25, 2024 and May 22, 2024 (the “Amended Warrants”).
The Company is in the process of distributing written consents to the warrant -holders and
anticipates receiving the executed consents by the end of next week. The Amended Warrants will be
exercisable until April 25, 2027 (instead of April 26, 2026) and May 22, 2027 (instead of May 22,
2026). Each Amended Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share at a price of

other terms of the Amended Warrants remaining the same. The proposed Warrant Extension is subject to
approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
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. This
portfolio is built around the Goodwin Copper Nickel Cobalt project in the Bathurst Mining Camp
(“BMC”) of New Brunswick. The Company drilled 10 holes in the 2025 diamond drilling campaign on
the Goodwin copper -nickel-cobalt project. This followed significant copper, nickel and cobalt intercepts
from 15 diamond drill holes reported by the Company in 2024. These include a 64.90 meter core interval,
grading 2.19% Cu- Eq (copper -nickel-cobalt), including 3.84% Cu- Eq over a 31.20 meter core interval
from hole GW24- 02 as reported in a news release August 7, 2024 . Significant gold values were also
reported with up to 3.31 grams per tonne over 0.5m in hole GW24-01.
The Company discovered a new gold vein at Jake Lee in 2025 and recently reported up to 40.5 g/t gold
and 63.30 g/t silver from channel samples cut from the vein. A 200 meter by 400 meter soil anomaly with
gold grading up to 0.98 g/t gold lies adjacent to the east and north of the new gold vein. T he Jake Lee
claims are located 25 kilometers southeast of the Clarence Stream gold deposit where Galway Metals Inc.
Clarence Stream is host to a 12.4M tonne indicated resource of 922,000 ounces at a grade of 2.31 g/t gold
plus an inferred resource of 16.1m tonnes with 1,334,000 ounces at a grade of 2.60 g/t gold. (Reference:
“Updated Mineral Resource Statement, Clarence Stream Deposits, New Brunswick, Canada, by SLR
Consulting (Canada) Ltd., March 31, 2022”).
The Company reported an expansion of the soil coverage on the Menneval gold project on January 7,
2026. A gold soil anomaly extends approximately 3,000 meters by 2,500 meters with gold- bearing
samples ranging from 0.005 grams per tonne (“g/t”) to 0.683 g/t gold. The results indicate potential
extensions to a swarm of quartz veins previously discovered by SLAM. The Company previously
reported core intervals include 3,955 g/t gold over 0.1m from the No. 18 vein ( December 03, 2020 ), as
well as 162.5 g/t gold over 0.2 m ( December 13, 2021 ) and 56.90 g/t gold over 0.5 m ( November 22,
2022) from the Maisie vein.
The Company is a project generator and expects to receive significant cash and share payments in 2026.
SLAM received 1,200,000 shares plus cash from Nine Mile Metals Inc. (NINE) in 2025 pursuant to the
Wedge project agreement. Also in 2025, the Company received a cash payment of $60,000 as well as
180,000 shares of a private company pursuant to the Ramsay gold agreement. The Company holds NSR
5
royalties and expects to receive additional cash and share payments on the Wedge copper zinc project and
on the Ramsay gold project.
