For Release, 7:30 EST March 12, 2026
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (“SLAM” or the “Company”) is
pleased to report that it has closed the non-brokered private placement previously announced on February
18, 2026, upsized on February 20, 2026 (the “Offering”) and a final upsize on closing to 23,030,553 units
(the “Units”) issued at a price of $0.09 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,072,750.
The Offering consisted of:
• 18,141,664 flow-through CMETC units of the Company (each, a “FT CMETC Unit”) issued at a
price of $0.09 per FT CMETC Unit. Each FT CMETC Unit is intended to be issued on the basis
that the Company will incur and renounce Canadian exploration expenses that are expected to
qualify as flow-through mining expenditures that are critical mineral exploration expense eligible
for purposes of the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit under the Income Tax Act (Canada);
• 3,000,000 flow-through units of the Company (each, a “FT Unit”) issued at a price of $0.09 per
FT Unit. Each FT Unit is intended to be issued in respect of Canadian exploration expenses
expected to qualify as ‘Canadian exploration expense’ under the Income Tax Act (Canada); and
• 1,888,889 non-flow-through units of the Company (each, a “NFT Unit”) issued at a price of
$0.09 per NFT Unit.
Each FT CMETC Unit and FT Unit is comprised of:
• One (1) flow-through common share of the Company issued as a “flow-through share” within the
meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a “FT Share”); and
• One-half (1/2) of one common share purchase warrant, with two (2) such half -warrants being
exercisable together as one (1) whole common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant
being, a “Warrant”).
Each NFT Unit is comprised of:
• One (1) common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”); and
• One (1) Warrant.
2
Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price
of $0.13 per Common Share for a period of two (2) years following the closing date of the Offering,
subject to acceleration in certain events.
The gross proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of the FT CMETC Units will be used to
incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” (“CEE”) that are expected to qualify as flow -through
critical mineral mining expenditures (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and are intended to be
spent on the Company’s Goodwin project. Such expenditures are expected to qualify as “critical mineral
exploration expense” for purposes of the 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit available under
applicable law to eligible subscribers.
The gross proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of the FT Units will be used to incur
eligible CEE on the Company’s gold projects and are not expected to qualify as flow -through critical
mineral mining expenditures or for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit.
The Company will renounce qualifying CEE to subscribers of FT CMETC Units and FT Units with an
effective date no later than December 31, 2026 (or such other date as may be permitted under applicable
tax legislation).
The proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of the NFT Units, and any proceeds received
on the exercise of Warrants, will be used for general working capital purposes, corporate development
activities, and other business objectives as determined by management.
The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and all other
required regulatory approvals. All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold
period of four months and one day from the closing date expiring on July 12, 2026 in accordance with
Canadian securities laws.
The Company has issued 420,000 finder warrants (the “Finder Warrants”) and paid $ 37,800 in cash in
connection with the Offering . Each whole Finder Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one
additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.13 per Common Share for a period of two (2) years
following the closing date of the Offering, subject to acceleration in certain events.
Proceeds received from the FT Units will be used to fund exploration on SLAM's gold, zinc, copper and
nickel projects in New Brunswick, Canada.
Insider Participation: One Company insider participated in the Offering, paying $199,999.87 for
2,222,222 FT CMETC Units. The participation by such insider is a “related-party transaction” within the
meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61 -101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61 -101”). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI
61-101 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as
determined under MI 61- 101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for,
the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market
capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

About SLAM Exploration Ltd: SLAM Exploration Ltd. is a publicly listed resource company with a
40,000-hectare portfolio of mineral claim holdings in the mineral -rich province of New Brunswick. This
portfolio is built around the Goodwin Copper Nickel Cobalt project in the Bathurst Mining Camp
(“BMC”) of New Brunswick. The Company drilled 10 holes in the 2025 diamond drilling campaign on
the Goodwin copper -nickel-cobalt project. This followed significant copper, nickel and cobalt intercepts
from 15 diamond drill holes reported by the Company in 2024. These include a 64.90 meter core interval,
grading 2.19% Cu- Eq (copper -nickel-cobalt), including 3.84% Cu- Eq over a 31.20 meter core interval
from hole GW24- 02 as reported in a news release August 7, 2024 . Significant gold values were also
reported with up to 3.31 grams per tonne over 0.5m in hole GW24-01.
The Company discovered a new gold vein at Jake Lee in 2025 and recently reported up to 40.5 g/t gold
and 63.30 g/t silver from channel samples cut from the vein. A 200 meter by 400 meter soil anomaly with
gold grading up to 0.98 g/t gold lies adjacent to the east and north of the new gold vein. T he Jake Lee
claims are located 25 kilometers southeast of the Clarence Stream gold deposit where Galway Metals Inc.
Clarence Stream is host to a 12.4M tonne indicated resource of 922,000 ounces at a grade of 2.31 g/t gold
plus an inferred resource of 16.1m tonnes with 1,334,000 ounces at a grade of 2.60 g/t gold. (Reference:
“Updated Mineral Resource Statement, Clarence Stream Deposits, New Brunswick, Canada, by SLR
Consulting (Canada) Ltd., March 31, 2022”).
The Company reported an expansion of the soil coverage on the Menneval gold project on January 7,
2026. A gold soil anomaly extends approximately 3,000 meters by 2,500 meters with gold- bearing
samples ranging from 0.005 grams per tonne (“g/t”) to 0.683 g/t gold. The results indicate potential
extensions to a swarm of quartz veins previously discovered by SLAM. The Company previously
reported core intervals include 3,955 g/t gold over 0.1m from the No. 18 vein ( December 03, 2020 ), as
well as 162.5 g/t gold over 0.2 m ( December 13, 2021 ) and 56.90 g/t gold over 0.5 m ( November 22,
2022) from the Maisie vein.
The Company is a project generator and expects to receive significant cash and share payments in 2026.
SLAM received 1,200,000 shares plus cash from Nine Mile Metals Inc. (NINE) in 2025 pursuant to the
Wedge project agreement. Also in 2025, the Company received a cash payment of $60,000 as well as
180,000 shares of a private company pursuant to the Ramsay gold agreement. The Company holds NSR
royalties and expects to receive additional cash and share payments on the Wedge copper zinc project and
on the Ramsay gold project.
