SLAM DETECTS BHPEM ANOMALY IN ZINC DISCOVERY HOLE

For Immediate Release, December 12, 2018

Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “ Company” on TSXV: SXL ) is

pleased to announce that a bore hole pulse electromagnetic (“BHPEM”) survey down diamond drill hole

(“DDH”) PZ-18-01 detected an in-hole anomaly in the vicinity of the Upper Road Zone on SLAM’s Portage

project in the mining-rich province of New Brunswick, Canada.

The Upper Road Zone is a new volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) discovery grading 12.61% zinc,

12.94% lead, 0.21% copper and 133 g/tonne silver over a core length of 1.35 m (estimated true width is

1.2 m). This new discovery occurs at a depth of 147 m in DDH PZ18 -01 drilled in SLAM’s 2018

exploration program and reported by news release on September 25, 2018 . The new discovery is

spatially associated with a BHPEM anomaly identified in a down -hole geophysical survey completed by

Eastern Geophysics Limited on behalf of SLAM.

The BHPEM anomaly was identified by Crone Geophysics & Exploration Ltd. (“Crone”) who completed

data interpretation on the results from the BHPEM down -hole geophysical survey. A ccording to Crone,

“The EM data features a prominent in -hole anomaly near a hole depth of approximately 160m, which is

consistent with a noted mineralized inter val. The source exhibits a moderate to low conductivity, which

is expected for a min eralized interval consisting of sphalerite, pyrite, and galena, with only small

amounts of pyrrhotite. ” Crone states that the anomaly extends beneath the hole and to the south of

the hole. SLAM considers this to be a high priority drilling target.

The Portage Zinc Project: The expanded a nd re -grouped Portage property covers 7100 hectares

comprising 4 mineral claims acquired through prospector agreements and 3 mineral claims acquired by

staking. The property is accessible by logging roads and located 1 km south and west of the Restigouche

VMS deposit owned by Trevali Mining Corp. The Portage zinc -lead-copper-silver property is SLAM’s

flagship project in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of New Brunswick, Canada.

$50,000 NBJMAP Grant : The Portage drilling program was supported in part by a grant of $50,000

under the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program (“NBJMAP”). The Company wishes to thank

the Province for this recognition of the Portage project and its importance to the mining industry in New

Brunswick.
