SLAM LAUNCHES DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM

DRILLING FOR COPPER AND NICKEL IN THE BATHURST MINING

CAMP

For Immediate Release, June 18th, 2024

Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV-SXL) is pleased to announce it

has mobilized a drilling rig and crew for a 500 meter drilling program on its wholly owned

Goodwin Project in the Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC) of New Brunswick . The first hole is

designed to test the Granges zone where previous workers drilled copper nickel intercepts up to

5.7 meters grading 1.79% copper plus 1.51% nickel . The Goodwin P roject is located 5

kilometers southwest of the Half Mile copper zinc silver deposit owned by Trevali Mining

Corporation in the BMC.

Goodwin Project Highlights: The Project is host to 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 . Prior to the Granges

discovery in 1987, two additional c opper nickel occurrences named the Farquharson zone and

the Logan zone had been discovered in drilling programs dating back to 1960.

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

Company deems these results to be useful to plan additional drilling.
