SLAM DRILLING COPPER NICKEL SULPHIDE ZONE S
Stepping Out From 60 Meter Copper Nickel Core Interval at Goodwin
For Immediate Release October 18, 2024
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”)
(TSXV-SXL) is pleased to announce preliminary results from the drill ing campaign on its
wholly owned Goodwin P roject located 35 kilometers south of the Caribou mine and mill
complex in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of New Brunswick.
GW24-04 intersected a 7 6 meter zone of sulphide mineralization from 14 meters to 92 meters.
The Company has sawn 87 samples from this hole for shipment to ALS Chemex in Moncton.
This mineralization is similar to the zone in hole GW24- 03 that intersected 1.17% copper
equivalent over 60.60 m eters as reported August 12, 2024 . Hole GW24-04 is a 40 meter step
ahead (northeast) of GW24 -03 and drilled on the same section. The summary log reads as
follows:
Interval Meters Description Mineralization Hole GW24-04
0.00 – 12.00 Casing
12.00-14.00 Gabbro Pyrrhotite 1%
14.00-84.20 Mineral Zone - Gabbro Pyrrhotite 10% to 30%, chalcopyrite traces
84.20-85.60 Mafic Dyke
85.60-92.00 Mineralized Gabbro Pyrrhotite 5%
92.00-125.00 Quartz-Gabbro Pyrrhotite-Pyrite 1-2%
125.00 End Of Hole
GW24-05 intersected a 7 0.5 meter zone of sulphide mineralization from 35.9 meters to 106.4
meters. The Company is sawing 78 samples from this hole for shipment to ALS Chemex in
Moncton. The mineralization in GW 24-05 is similar to the zone in hole GW24 -03 that
intersected 1.17% copper e quivalent over 60.60 m eters as reported August 12, 2024 . Hole
GW24-05 is a 40 meter step out to the southeast of GW24- 04. The summary log reads as
follows:

Interval Meters Description Mineralization Hole GW24-05
0.00 – 12.00 Casing
12.00-35.90 Gabbro Pyrrhotite 0.5%
35.90-106.40 Mineral Zone - Gabbro Pyrrhotite 10% to 30%
106.40-110.00 Mineralized Gabbro Pyrrhotite 1-3%
110.00-131.00 Gabbro Pyrrhotite-Pyrite 1-2%

Previous diamond drill hole GW24- 03 is shown in black. Four holes drilled in the current
campaign are shown in green. They include holes GW24 -04 and GW24 -05 described above.
Holes GW24-06 and GW24-07 were drilled but logging and sampling are in progress. After hole
GW24-07, the drill was moved 1,100 meters northwest to test the Logan zone.

QA-QC Procedures: The core was delivered to a secure facility in Bathurst New Brunswick for
detailed logging and sampling. The core descriptions and the summary log for hole s GW24-04
and GW24-05 are based on visual observations of the core. The results for holes GW24- 01 to
GW24-03 were previously reported by SLAM in news releases dated between July 30, 2024 and
August 12, 2024. The historic results from previous workers are derived from New Brunswick
assessment files that predate NI43-101 regulations. They can only be validated by additional
drilling.
About SLAM Exploration Ltd: SLAM Exploration Ltd. is a public resource company with a
substantial portfolio of mineral claim holdings in the mineral- rich province of New Brunswick.
The Company recently completed three diamond drill holes on the Goodwin copper -nickel
project in the BMC of New Brunswick. Highlights include:
• A 60.60-meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent in hole GW24-03
• A 64.90-meter core interval grading 2.14% copper equivalent in hole GW24-02
• A 35-meter core interval grading 1.36% copper equivalent in hole GW24-01

Based on these drilling intercepts, the Company has expanded the Goodwin Project which now
comprises 194 units covering 4,239 hectares. Drilling resumed on October 10, 2024.
SLAM has discovered multiple gold veins on its wholly owned Menneval gold project. The
Company has reported gold- bearing core intervals, including 162.5 g/t gold over 0.2 meters and
56.90 g/t gold over 0.5 meters (news releases dated December 13, 2021, and November 22,
2022). Additionally, the Company reported quartz float grading up to 39.2 g/t gold on its Jake
Lee project, located near the Clarence Stream gold deposit, where Galway Metals Inc. is working
on a 2.3-million-ounce gold deposit in southern New Brunswick.
SLAM also owns the Mine Road copper -zinc-silver project, adjacent to the former producing
Heath Steele Mines property in the BMC. Previous workers have reported successful diamond
drill holes at Mine Road, including IL2014- 003, which intersected a 9- meter core interval
grading 14.51% zinc, 5.86% lead, 0.67% copper, and 139.9 g/t silver in the volcanogenic
massive sulphide Railroad Zone (Doe Run Canadian Exploration ULC; 2015, New Brunswick
Assessment Files, Report of Work 477877). The Railroad Zone is located 7,000 meters east of
the 20-million-tonne former producing Heath Steele B Zone.
The Company is a project generator and has received significant cash and share payments over
the last nine months, including:
• $150,000 cash and 50,000 shares from S2 Minerals Inc. (STWO) on December 19, 2023,
pursuant to the Reserve Creek gold agreement.
• 534,000 shares and 333,000 warrants (exercisable at $0.01) from Nine Mile Metals Inc.
(NINE) on March 1, 2024, pursuant to the Wedge Project agreement.
• $25,000 cash plus 2,500,000 shares of Lode Gold Resources Inc. (LOD) pursuant to the
Ramsay Gold agreement.
The Company holds NSR royalties and expects additional cash and share payments from the
Wedge copper-zinc project and the Ramsay, Reserve Creek, and Opikeigen gold projects.
