SLAM DRILLS 117.6 METER ZONE AT 0.54% COPPER
EQUIVALENT INCLUDING NEW 17.1 METER HIGH GRADE
ZONE AT 1.1% COPPER EQUIVALENT IN GW24-15
Copper Nickel Cobalt Zones Show Improving Grade At Depth
For Immediate Release, February 12, 2025
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”)
(TSXV-SXL) is pleased to announce it drilled a 117.6 meter core interval grading 0.54% copper
equivalent including a new high grade zone of 17.1 meter s grading 1.1% copper equivalent in
hole GW24-15 in the Logan Zone. GW24-15 is 450 meters north of a 64.9 meter interval grading
2.00% copper equivalent drilled in hole GW24-02.
The Farquharson, Logan and Granges zones are hosted within sill- like gabbro units with
potential for ovoid bodies and other structural traps that could host large accumulations of
copper, nickel and cobalt mineralization located on Slam’s wholly owned Goodwin claims in the
mineral-rich Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick. All 3 zones are all open along strike as
well as at depth and represent high priority targets for the 2025 drilling campaign.
The new high grade zone in GW24 -15 is the deepest intercept to date on the Logan zone . It is
1,000 meters northwest of a 6 0.6 meter interval grading 1.11% copper equivalent drilled in hole
GW24-03 on the Farquharson zone. This is the deepest and highest grade intercept on the
Farquharson zone. High grade mineralization occurs near surface in the Granges zone. All 3
zones are open along strike and at depth.
The grade of the Logan copper nickel zone is increasing at depth a s shown in 3 holes drilled on
one line and portrayed on the cross section below:

The new high grade zone at a depth of 200 meters in hole GW24- 15 is a repeat of a similar
copper nickel zone at the same depth in GW24 -14. It is a 50 meter step -out to the southeast of
GW24-14 as shown on the drill plan map below. The Logan zone is open at depth and along
strike.

The Logan Zone: The Logan copper nickel zone is located 450 meters north of the Granges
zone where Slam previously reported 2.00% copper equivalent over 64.9 meters in hole GW24 -
02. Slam also reported 1.49% copper equivalent over 47.00 meters in hole GW24- 03 on the
Farquharson copper nickel cobalt zone 1,000 meters southe ast of the Logan zone . Selected
results are tabled below:

The Farquharson Z one: All 5 holes on the Farquharson zone intersected copper nickel
mineralization over core intervals ranging from 46 meters to 75 meters and grades ranging from
0.75% to 1.26% copper equivalent as previously reported. These holes define the Farquharson
zone over a strike length of 140 meters and to a downhole depth of 130 meters. A s in the Logan
zone, the grade of the Farquharson zone is increasing with depth. The best Farquharson interval
was drilled in GW24-03 as shown on the cross section below:

The Goodwin project also includes the Bruce copper nickel occurrence acquired in 2024 and a
block of claims recently staked to cover a large area of aeromagnetic anomalies associated with
gabbro intrusive bodies. The Goodwin project now covers 11,450 hectares of prospective ground
extending from the Bruce occurrence for 25 kilometers westward to a copper nickel float
occurrence located on a prospector’s claim.

and about Slam, visit Booth 3228 from Sunday March 2 to Wednesday March 5, 2025 at the
Metro Toronto Convention Center.
Canada’s Atlantic Edge Session: Mike Taylor will participate in this session with a
presentation titled “The Goodwin Copper Nickel Project” at 11:55 AM on Tuesday, March 4,
2025 at Ballroom A of the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Toronto.
QA-QC Procedures: Core was collected from the drill in trays and delivered to a secure logging
facility in Bathurst, New Brunswick. After logging, samples were sawn using a diamond blade .
Sawn half-core samples were numbered, collected in bags, tagged and delivered to Activation
6
Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) in Fredericton for multi-element analysis using their methods assay
method AR-ICP. Samples that were over-limit (above 1%) for the ICP method were re -analyzed
using method 8-AR.
About SLAM Exploration Ltd: SLAM Exploration Ltd. is a public resource company with a
large portfolio of mineral claim holdings in the mineral- rich province of New Brunswick. The
Company has reported significant copper, nickel and cobalt intercepts from 15 diamond drill
holes completed on the Goodwin copper nickel project in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of
New Brunswick. Highlights include a 64.90 meter core interval grading 2.14% copper equivalent
in Granges zone hole GW24- 02, a 60.60 interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent in
Farquharson zone hole GW24-03 and 117.6 meters grading 0.54% copper equivalent including a
new high grade zone of 17.1 meters grading 1.1% copper equivalent in hole GW24- 15 meters on
the Logan zone. Based on these significant drilling results, the Company expanded the Goodwin
Project to 11,450 hectares covering a 25 kilometer stretch of aeromagnetic anomalies associated
with gabbro bodies and potential copper nickel occurrences.
Gold assays are pending on 117 core samples sawn from 2 holes drilled by Slam on its wholly
owned Menneval gold project and submitted for fire assay to Actlabs. SLAM has previously
discovered multiple gold veins on its wholly owned Menneval gold project . The Company
reported gold bearing core intervals including 162.5 g/t gold over 0.2 m and 56.90 g/t gold over
0.5 m in news releases on December 13, 2021 and November 22, 2022.
In 2023, the Company reported quartz float grading up to 39.2 g/t gold on its Jake Lee project in
the vicinity of the Clarence Stream gold deposit where Galway Metals Inc. is working on a 2.3
M 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 . Successful diamond drill holes at Mine Road by
previous workers include IL2014- 003 with a 9 -meter core interval grading 14.51% zinc, 5.86%
lead, 0.67% copper and 139.9 g/t silver on the volcanogenic massive sulphide Railroad zone at
Mine Road. ( Doe Run Canadian Exploration ULC ; 2015, New Brunswick Assessment Files,
Report of Work 477877 ), The Railroad zone is 7,000 m east of the 20 million tonne former
producing Heath Steele B Zone.
The Company is a project generator and received significant cash and share payments over the
last 12 months as follows; 534,000 shares and 333,000 warrants (exercisable at $0.01) issued by
