SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL)

("

SLAM

" or the "

Company

") is pleased to announce

results from its prospecting and trenching program at Lower 44 and Connector. These zinc projects are part of SLAM's mineral portfolio in the

Bathurst Mining Camp ("BMC") of

New Brunswick

, Canada. The first five samples listed below represent grab samples collected from trenches

on the Tribag zone at Lower 44.

The trenching program accurately located the Tribag zone which was discovered and drilled in 1962. Five grab samples 535401 to 435405 were

collected from excavated bedrock material in the trenches. The zinc, lead, copper and silver values are significant because no assay results were

published with the 1962 drilling report. All 5 samples derive from a mineralized chert that is consistent with historic records and similar to the West

Wedge zone located 700 m to the north. The West Wedge zone was discovered in 1983. The best drilling intercept to date is a 3.8 m core

length grading 12.9% zinc, 5.35% lead, 0.78% copper, 70.6 g/tonne silver and 1.37 g/t gold reported from the West Wedge in 1983. Both

Tribag and West Wedge represent priority drilling targets on the 3226 hectare Lower 44 project.

Sample 535406 is from a 2 kg boulder found at Connector. The zinc, lead and silver values may be significant because of its location along strike

from the former producing Brunswick No. 6 mine. SLAM's Connector property comprises 1350 hectares located between the former producing

Brunswick No. 6 and No. 12 mines owned by Glencore. No 6, discovered in October, 1952 was the first major discovery in the Bathurst Mining

Camp. The massive Brunswick No 12 deposit was discovered in 1953 and operated continuously from 1964 to 2013. It produced 150 million

tonnes of ore grading 8.46% zinc, 3.33% lead, 0.37% copper, and 99 g/t silver. The Company intends to complete additional prospecting and

trenching.

QA-QC Procedures:

Five grab samples 535401 to 535405 were collected from mineralized bedrock material excavated from trenches at the

Lower 44 project. Sample 535406 was a 2 kg boulder found on the Connector property. All 6 samples were tagged and numbered then

delivered to a secure worksite where they were examined and packed for shipping. The samples were shipped to AGAT Laboratories of

Mississauga, Ontario

and analyzed using a Sodium Peroxide Fusion method with ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish. The Company relied on AGAT for

QA-QC procedures at the laboratory.

Other BMC Properties:

The Company owns 12 projects covering 20,000 hectares of mineral land acquired for volcanogenic massive sulphide

potential in the BMC. These include the Lower 44, Connector, North Rim, Satellite and LBM projects and others selected for acquisition based

on a database that covers the entire BMC district. The database includes airborne and ground geotechnical surveys as well as previous drilling

results compiled from previous exploration workers and government sources. The Company continues with exploration activities to identify drilling

targets associated with historic occurrences and intends to focus on the zinc, lead, copper and silver potential of this mineral producing region.

Joint Venture/Earn-In Opportunity:

SLAM has a portfolio of zinc-lead-silver properties available for joint venture or earn-in agreements in the

Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick. These include the properties described above as well as Costigan and other properties with mineral

potential demonstrated by previous drilling results. For additional information, call
