SLAM ACQUISITION EXPANDS ZINC COPPER
SILVER FOOTPRINT IN BMC
CORE INTERVALS TO 14.51% ZINC, 5.86% LEAD, 0.67% COPPER AND
139.9 G/T SILVER
For Immediate Release, September 6, 2023
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV-SXL) (“SLAM” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce it has entered into an arm’s length option agreement dated
September 01, 2023, to acquire a 100% interest in and to the Mine Road project, which is located
adjacent to the former producing Heath Steele mine in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of
northern New Brunswick.
Project Highlights:
• Railroad Zone: 14.51% zinc, 5.86% lead, 0.67% copper and 139.9 g/t silver over a 9.0
metre interval in diamond drill hole IL2014-003.
• Roche Trend: Diamond drill hole IL2018-01 intersected 7.0 meters of 0.9% copper on
the Roche Trend, 5 kilometres southwest of the Railroad Zone,
• Infrastructure: Paved road and high voltage powerline transect the property.
• Drill-ready project : Untested conductors, magnetic and soil anomalies as well as
priority targets on the Railroad and Roche Zones.
Previously drilled holes include IL2014-003 that cored 14.51% zinc, 5.86% lead , 0.67% copper
and 139.9 g/t silver over a 9.0 metre interval (7.8 metre true width ). This hole also intersected
6.57% zinc, 2.78% lead, 0.46% copper , and 68.1 g/t silver over a 3 m core interval (2.6 metre
true width). This was one of 5 holes drilled on the Railroad Zone in 2014.
On the Roche Trend, 5 kilometres southwest of the Railroad Zone, diamond drill hole IL2018-01
intersected 7.0 meters of 0.9% copper . This is the deepest intercept on the Roche T rend and
according to accepted models for VMS deposits, the increasing copper content may signify that
the core of the deposit lies below this hole.
SLAM President Mike Taylor states, “This is a drill ready project with a massive previous work
database that is available to design drilling programs to test for potential extensions and new
2
discoveries. The BMC was a prolific producer of zinc, lead, copper and silver and is long
overdue for such a discovery.”
Mine Road Project: The 7,500 hectare Mine Road project comprises 347 units in 2 mineral
claims adjacent to the former producing Heath Steele mine property . From 1957 and 1996, the
operator mined 21 million tonnes at Heath Steele with an average grade of 4.98% zinc, 0.36%
lead, 0.54% copper and 69.66 g/t silver. A total of 2,330 million pounds of zinc, 833 million
pounds of lead, 446 million pounds of copper and 45 million ounces of silver were processed.

and massive sulphides of the Bathurst Camp, New Brunswick; Geological Association of Canada

Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Occurrences: The Mine Road project contains 7 volcanogenic
massive sulphide occurrences including the R ailroad Zone described above. The Company
expects to generate additional targets once the Mine Road project database is integrated with
SLAM’s extensive Bathurst Joint Venture database. A total of $1,448,000 in exploration
expenditures have been applied to the Mine Road project during the past 10 years and
assessment work credits of $428,776 are available for future claim renewals.
Infrastructure: The Mine Road project is located on the Mine Road (Route 430) which
connects the former Heath Steele mine to the city of Miramichi which is 60 kilometres to the
southeast. The claims are accessed from this paved road and a series of logging roads. Electric
power is available from lines that connect Heath Steele to the New Brunswick power grid.
The Agreement: The Company can earn a 100% interest in and to the Mine Road project by
making the following cash payments and common share issuances:

About SLAM Exploration Ltd:
The Mine Road project is a significant addition to SLAM’s portfolio of wholly -owned BMC
projects that include the A’Hearn, Strachens and Portage volcanogenic massive sulphide
projects. The Company has extensive experience in the BMC and owns a huge database covering
the entire mining camp dating back to its participation in the Bathurst Joint Venture. The
Company holds NSR royalties and expects additional cash and share payments on the Wedge,
Goodwin, Ramsay and Ferguson projects in this mineral rich area.
Elsewhere in the mineral -rich province of New Brunswick, e xploration for gold along regional
fault structures has resulted in significant gold discoveries. These include the Maisie gold vein
system at SLAMs wholly owned Menneval project. With gold and copper trends up to 20 km
long, SLAM has identified an area with high potential for additional gold discoveries and
acquired the Shadow Lake, Jake Lee, Rogers Lake and Highway projects . Gold assays are
pending on 250 soil samples. These projects are associated with the Fundy fault zone and located
in southwestern New Brunswick where Galway Metals recently announced a 2.3- million-ounce
gold deposit at Clarence stream. Targeting critical elements as well as gold, the Company
aggressively pursues new exploration opportunities such as the recent Highway and Mine Road
acquisitions.
