SLAM LAUNCHES COPPER NICKEL DRILLING CAMPAIGN

Diamond drilling On Historic Copper Nickel Zones at Goodwin

For Immediate Release October 11, 2024

Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”)

(TSXV-SXL) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized a drilling rig and crew for a 2,000

meter drilling program on its wholly owned Goodwin Project located 35 kilometers south of the

Caribou mine and mill complex in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of New Brunswick.

Trenching Targets: The drill is set up on hole GW24 -04, located 40 meters northeast of hole

GW24-03 which cut a 60.60 meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent as reported

August 12, 2024. This hole is designed to test the Farquharson zone above the previous intercept

and to define the dip of the zone on this section.

 The Farquharson Zone: The Company plans 4 additional diamond drill holes to test the

strike extent of a 60.60 meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent drilled in

hole GW24-03 as reported August 12, 2024.

 The Granges Zone: SLAM plans 4 additional diamond drill holes to test the strike and

dip extent of a 64.90 meter core interval grading 2.19% copper equivalent in hole GW24-

02 that was reported August 7, 2024. This copper nickel zone included a 31.20 meter core

interval grading 3.84% copper equivalent.

 The Logan Zone : The Company may test this historic copper nickel zone with up to 3

diamond drill holes. Targets include a 6 meter core interval of copper-rich massive

sulphides reported in hole NO60 -03 without assays. A 16.95 meter zone grading 0.37%

copper and 0.44% nickel with individual core samples grading up to 0.72% copper and

1.05% nickel over 2.10 meters in h ole MM71 -05B. (These results predate NI43 -101

regulations and can only be validated by additional drilling).

QA-QC Procedures : The Granges Zone and Farquharson Zone results described above were

previously reported by S LAM 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. The y can only be validated by additional trenching and

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 Decem ber 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.
