SLAM USING NEW VTEM SURVEY TO GENERATE
COPPER NICKEL COBALT TARGETS ON THE
GOODWIN PROJECT
VTEM Survey Generating Critical Element Targets in the Mineral-Rich Province of New
Brunswick, Canada
For Release 7:23 EST, June 1, 2026 Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:
SXL) (“SLAM” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it is using the new VTEM survey over the
Goodwin copper-nickel-cobalt project to generate targets and to plan the 2026 diamond drilling program.
Mobilization for the 7,000 meter drilling program is in progress. From a total of 432 anomalies, the
Company has constructed plate models for 24 conductors that range in depth from 30 meters to 320
meters. All of these models are potential extensions to the known zones of mineralization and could
represent potential ovoid-type deposits with higher-grade mineralization at depth. The Goodwin copper-
nickel-cobalt project covers 14,000 hectares (35,000 acres) in the mineral-rich Bathurst Mining Camp
(“BMC”) of New Brunswick, Canada.
The 7,000 meter drilling program will test for potential extensions far below and beyond the 3 known
zones of copper-nickel-cobalt mineralization. The Company has drilled 25 holes on the Logan, Granges
and Farquharson zones. Significant copper, nickel and cobalt intercepts 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.
Figure 1 shows the VTEM profile and plate model with a strong conductivity of 230 siemens at a depth of
81 meters from Line 1300 flown directly over the Granges copper nickel cobalt zone. Figure 2 shows a
similar VTEM profile and plate model from Line 1120 with a strong conductivity of 220 siemens at a
depth of 44 meters flown over an untested conductor 2,000 meters northwest of the Granges copper nickel
cobalt zone.

Figure 3 shows a broader and deeper target on line 1300 that is a potential extension of the Logan copper
nickel cobalt zone as well as the more conductive target directly over the Granges zone. Figure 4 shows
an untested target on L1120 that is similar to the profile over the Granges zone.

A total of 432 anomalies were identified by the VTEM survey. Figure 5 is a map of conductivity with
individual conductors shown for the central area of the Goodwin project where the known deposits and
the most favourable anomalies occur:

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. These 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% copper equivalent (“Cu-Eq”), including
1.32% copper, 1.11% nickel and 0.09% 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 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
4
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.
