SLAM DRILLS ANOTHER 60 METER COPPER NICKEL
CORE INTERVAL
Hole GWW24-03 Cuts 1.17% Copper Equivalent Over 60.60 Meter Core Interval
For Immediate Release August 12, 2024
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”) (TSXV-
SXL) announces it drilled a 60.60 meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent from 72.90
meters to 133.50 meters in hole GW24-03. This interval is located 900 meters to the southeast of
a 64.90 meter core interval grading 2.19% copper equivalent in hole GW24-02 that was reported
August 7, 2024. GW24 -03 is one of 3 holes drilled on SLAM’s wholly owned Goodwin claims
located 5 kilometers southwest of the Half Mile copper zinc silver deposit in the Bathurst Mining
Camp of New Brunswick.

The Company drilled hole GW24- 03 to test the Farquharson zone as shown on Figure 1 below.
The Farquharson zone was discovered by previous workers in 1960 and approximately 30 holes
were drilled by a series of companies during the 1960’s and early 1970’s. The drilling pattern
suggests that a significant mineral zone was encountered but t his historic drilling is not well
documented.
The Company a lso drilled a 64.90 meter core interval grading 2.19% copper equivalent in hole
GW24-02 as reported August 7, 2024. Hole GW24 -02 was drilled to test the Granges zone at a
site 900 meters to the northwest of hole GW24-03 and was drilled beneath hole GW24-01 as shown
on Figure 1. The red dot at this site represents the probable location of the hole GR87- 41 which
was the 1987 discovery hole for the Granges zone. Holes GR87-41, GW24-01 and GW24-02 were
drilled at azimuths of 045, 060 and 080 degrees respectively.

QA-QC Procedures: Core was collected from the drill in trays and delivered to a secure logging
facility in Bathurst, New Brunswick. After logging, a total of 78 samples were sawn from 112.5
meters of core from hole GW24-03 using a diamond blade. Sawn half-core samples were collected
in bags, labelled with sample tags and delivered to ALS Chemex Ltd. in Moncton New Brunswick.
SLAM inserted standards and blanks into the sample series. ALS Chemex analyzed all samples
for multi-elements using their methods ME-ICP41 and PGM-ICP23.

0.5 m (news releases December 13, 2021 and November 22, 2022). 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.

The Company completed 3 diamond drill holes on the Goodwin copper nickel project in the
Bathurst Mining Camp (“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 and a 35 meter core interval grading 1.36% copper
equivalent in hole GW24-01. Based on the drilling intercepts, the Company expanded the Goodwin
Project which now comprises 194 units covering 4,239 hectares.
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 has received significant cash and share payments over the
last 9 months as follows; $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
