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:
3
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.
