SLAM DRILLS COPPER NICKEL MINERALIZATION
DRILLING CRITICAL ELEMENTS IN THE BATHURST MINING CAMP
For Immediate Release July 3rd, 2024
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV-SXL) (“SLAM” or the
“Company”) is pleased to report preliminary results from the third hole (GW24-03) drilled on its
wholly owned Goodwin Project in the Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC) of New Brunswick . The
Goodwin Project is located 5 kilometers southwest of the Half Mile copper zinc silver deposit
owned by Trevali Mining Corporation in the BMC.
Hole GW24 -03 highlights include a 23.55 meter core interval with 15% pyrrhotite starting at
72.90 meters, a 13.65 meter interval with 15% pyrrhotite mineralization starting at 94.8 meters
and a 20.85 meter zone with 15% pyrrhotite from 113.15 meters to 134.00 meters. These
intervals combine for 58 meters of pyrrhotite mineralization, which, according to previous
workers, generally contains nickel at Goodwin. GW24-03 was drilled from a site located 900
meters southeast of hole GW24-02. DDH GW24-03 was drilled at a dip of 50 0 toward azimuth
0400 to a depth of 248 meters. The summary log reads as follows:
Interval Meters Description Mineralization
0.00 – 4.50 Casing
6.00 - 24.60 Pegmatite gabbro Pyrrhotite traces
24.60- 62.90 Gabbro, coarse grained
56.60-62.90 Mineralized gabbro 15% pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite traces
62.90-72.90 Mafic volcanic
72.90-96.45 Mineralized gabbro, coarse
grained, local pegmatite
15% pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite traces
94.80-94.85 Mineralized gabbro 20% chalcopyrite
96.45-97.80 Felsic dyke
97.80-111.45 Gabbro coarse grained 15% pyrrhotite
106.75-106.85 Mineralized gabbro 75% pyrrhotite
111.45-113.15 Mafic volcanic
113.15-114.9 Mineralized gabbro 15% pyrrhotite
114.90-115.55 Mafic volcanic 10% pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite traces
115.55- 134.00 Gabbro 15% pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite traces
134.00 169.50m Gabbro, fine grained 2-5% pyrrhotite
169.50- 219.00 Gabbro Pyrrhotite traces
219.00-248.00 Mafic volcanic Pyrrhotite traces and films
248.00 End of Hole

The core has been delivered to a secure facility in Bathurst New Brunswick for detailed logging
and sampling.
Goodwin Project Highlights: The Company sawed 35 meters of mineralized core from hole
GW24-01 and bagged 38 samples. The sawn core samples were delivered to ALS Chemex Inc.
in Moncton New Brunswick for copper, nickel, silver, cobalt , bismuth, platinum, palladium and
gold analyses as well as other elements using ALS multi-element package ME -ICP41 and
method PGM-ICP23. Samples that run over 1% copper and/or 1% nickel will be analyzed using
an over-limit method ME-OG46.

Logging and sampling are in progress on diamond drill hole GW24- 02 and GW24- 03. Holes
GW24-01 and GW24 -02 tested the Granges zone where p revious workers cored a 5.7 meter
interval grading 1.79% copper plus 1.51% nickel in diamond drill hole GR87- 55. The core
length in meters may not equal the true width of this interval . HoleGW24-03 located 900 meters
southeast of hole GW24-02 was drilled to test for pyrrhotite and associated nickel mineralization
in the Farquharson zone which was discovered by Noranda in a 1960 drilling program . Upon
completion of GW24-03, the drill was de-mobilized.
The Goodwin Project consists of 8 original claims plus 5 recently optioned claims that combine
for 159 units that cover 3,474 hectares of prospective mineral ground. The project is underlain by
the Goodwin Lake gabbro, a 6,500 meter long body of intrusive rocks hosting the 3 copper
nickel occurrences referenced above. Permits are in place for a trenching and drilling program to
test for copper nickel mineralization as well as gold and platinum group metals. The Goodwin
project is accessible by logging roads from the Fraser Burchill road off Route 430 which
connects to the city of Miramichi 90 kilometers to the southeast.
QA-QC Procedures : The results described above are from news releases and reports that
predate NI43-101 regulations. The numbers can only be validated by additional drilling but the
4
Company deems these results to be useful to plan additional drilling. The core descriptions and
the summary log for hole GW24-03 are based on visual observations of the core.
About SLAM Exploration Ltd: SLAM Exploration Ltd. a public resource company with a
large portfolio of mineral claim holdings built around its wholly owned Menneval gold project in
the mineral -rich province of New Brunswick. SLAM has discovered multiple gold veins at
Menneval and previously 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 (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 holds the Goodwin copper nickel project and the Mine Road VMS copper zinc
silver project in the mineral rich Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick. Previous workers
discovered 3 copper nickel occurrences at Goodwin. Mineralized core intercepts were drilled
including 1.79% copper plus 1.51% nickel over 5.7 meters in diamond drill hole GR89-55 on the
Goodwin project.
Successful diamond drill holes 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 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 M tonne former
producing Heath Steele B Zone.
