SLAM REPORTS SOIL SAMPLES UP TO 0.466 G/T
GOLD AT JAKE LEE
Gold, Silver and Critical Elements in the Mineral-Rich Province of New Brunswick, Canada
For Release 7:23 EST, March 02, 2026
Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (“SLAM” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce gold assays up to 0.466 g/t gold from 766 soil samples collected on a detailed grid
around its recent gold discovery at Jake Lee . The samples were collected on a 50 by 25 meter grid in the
area around the recently discovered No. 1 gold vein. SLAM recently reported channel samples grading up
to 40.5 g/t gold and 63.30 g/t silver over 0.40 meters.
Figure 1 is a thematic view of the soil results and gold occurrences superimposed on a resistivity and
airborne conductor map derived from an airborne survey flown by previous workers. Anomalous gold soil
areas include t he 200 m eter by 400 meter area east of the JL No. 1 vein that appears to be related to an
airborne conductor.

The Company has plotted the results of channel samples cut across the No. 1 vein. Eleven samples each
0.40 meters in length were cut in 3 channels that cross the vein and extend into the wall rock on both sides.

Assays of the vein are 31.3 g/t gold, 12.3 g/t gold and 40.5 g/t gold plotted on the right side of the channel
along with 63.30 g/t silver, 23.2 g/t silver and 25.1 g/t silver plotted on the left side of each channel as
shown on Figure 3.

The 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”). SLAM’s exploration team recently mobilized back
to Jake Lee.
QA-QC Procedures: After cleaning and washing, 3 channels were sawn across the No. 1 vein and into the
wallrock. Channel JLCS2 and channel JLCS3 were spaced 3 and 4 meters respectively meters east of
channel JLCS1. Eleven channel samples were collected and delivered directly to Actlabs in Fredericton,
New Brunswick for analysis. In addition, 750 soil samples were collected and submitted. Actlabs analyzed
all the samples for gold using procedure 1A2 (fire assay with atomic absorption finish) and 1A3
(gravimetric finish) for over-limit samples. Actlabs also used the ICP 1E3 method to analyze all the samples
for multiple elements.

NBJMAP Program: The Company wishes to thank the Province and the New Brunswick Department of
Natural Resources & Energy for the award of $45,000 under the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance
Program in support of the work program completed at Jake Lee in 2025-26. An initial payment of 40% was
received in 2025 and the final payment of 6% is expected once the NBJMAP report is filed.

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
0.73% copper, 0.64% nickel and 0.05% cobalt for 2.19% Cu-Eq (copper-nickel-cobalt), including 1.11%
copper, 0.95% nickel, 0 0.07% cobalt for 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 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
