HOLE GW26-29 FROM THE GOODWIN COPPER-NICKEL-COBALT

PROJECT

New Sulphide Discoveries Drilled On VTEM Targets Up To 2,000 Meters Along Strike From the Logan

And Granges Zones In The Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick

Miramichi, New Brunswick – August 14, 2026 – SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL, OTCQB: SXLXF )

(“SLAM” or the “ Company”) is pleased to report a 24.60 meter (“m”) core interval grading 1.19% copper

equivalent (“Cu-Eq”) from the massive sulphide zone previously reported in hole GW26- 29 (see news release dated

June 17, 2026). In addition, the Company has made several new discoveries by testing VTEM plate models. These

include a new discovery of massive sulphides in hole GW26- 36 located 2,000 meters northwest of the Logan zone.

This is a major extension of the copper -nickel cobalt potential at Goodwin. The Company has drilled 2,600 meters

in 12 holes (GW26-26 through GW26- 38), roughly 37% of the 2026 drilling program, and has submitted 992 core

samples for multi-element assay.

Diamond Drilling Highlights – Hole GW26-29:

Hole No. From (m) To (m) Length (m) Copper % Nickel % Cobalt % Cu Eq %

GW26-29 20.20 44.80 24.60 0.33 0.43 0.11 1.19

GW26-29 46.80 48.55 1.75 0.33 0.41 0.11 1.16

GW26-29 57.90 60.00 2.10 0.34 0.43 0.14 1.21

As previously reported, hole GW26- 29 is a 100 meter step-out along strike to the southeast of hole GW25- 15 on the

Logan zone. Cu Eq% values are recovered grades calculated using a 95% recovery rate and metal prices for copper,

nickel and cobalt published August 11, 2026 on Daily Metal Price . A total of 64 core samples were submitted for

assay from GW26-29.

Drilling Update: 12 Holes Drilled

The Company has drilled 12 holes, GW26-26 through GW26- 38, all designed to test VTEM plate model targets

along the Logan, Granges and Farquharson trend. Testing of these VTEM targets has been very successful and has

resulted in several new discoveries. All 12 holes have intersected the host gabbro with variable sulphide

mineralization ranging from disseminated to massive. Samples from all 12 holes have been submitted for assay.

total of 271 samples, including QA/QC standards and blanks, were submitted for assay.

GW26-33 (233 m)

GW26-33 intersected a 14.5 meter zone of semi-massive pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite mineralization from 33.15 to 47.6

m, including massive sulphide from 33.15–35 m and a semi-massive interval from 42.6–47.1 m, hosted in gabbro.

Background mineralization of 1–2% pyrrhotite continues through the remainder of the hole to 197.7 m.

GW26-36 (212 m)

GW26-36 intersected a broad mineralized zone from 124.4 to 191.8 m hosted in coarse -grained gabbro, containing

several massive sulphide intervals – including 126.5–128.6 m, 140.7–142.0 m, 142.35–142.4 m, 144.5–144.7 m and

151–151.7 m together with semi-massive zones at 157–158 m and 165.4–166.3 m. A shallower semi-massive

interval was also logged from 12.40–12.75 m. This new sulphide discovery is located 2,000 meters northwest of the

Logan zone.

NBJMAP Grant Of $60,000

SLAM Exploration Ltd. has been awarded a grant of $60,000 by the Province Of New Brunswick in support of the

2026 diamond drilling campaign on the Goodwin copper-nickel-cobalt project. The Company wishes to thank the

Sampling and QA/QC Procedures

A total of 992 core samples have been collected from the 12 completed holes (GW26- 26 through GW26-38,

certified reference standards and blanks, were inserted at regular intervals in accordance with industry -standard

protocols. All samples were collected, labelled and sealed by SLAM field personnel. Core is stored securely at the

Company's core logging facility in Bathurst. Assay results will be reported in subsequent news releases as they are

received.
