(via TheNewswire)

Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”) (TSXV-SXL) is pleased to announce preliminary drilling results from holes GW24-06 and GW24-07 on its wholly owned Goodwin Project located 35 kilometers south of the Caribou mine and mill complex in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“ BMC ”) of New Brunswick.

GW24-06 intersected a 47.6 meter zone of sulphide mineralization from 45.45 meters to 93.05 meters. The Company has sawn 56 samples from this hole for shipment to ALS Chemex in Moncton. This mineralization is similar to the zone in hole GW24-03 that intersected 1.17% copper equivalent over 60.60 meters as reported August 12, 2024 . Hole GW24-06 is a 40 meter step-out southeast of GW24-05 as shown on Figure 1. The summary log reads as follows:

GW24-07 intersected a 39.48 meter zone of sulphide mineralization from 18.05 meters to 57.53 meters and another zone of 14.53 meters from 72.12 meters to 88.65 meters. The Company is sawing 61 samples from this hole for shipment to ALS Chemex in Moncton. The mineralization in GW24-07 is more massive than the zone in hole GW24-03 that intersected 1.17% copper equivalent over 60.60 meters as reported August 12, 2024 .  Hole GW24-07is a 40 meter step out to northwest of GW24-04. All 5 Farquharson holes have been drilled at a dip of -50 degrees toward an azimuth of 040 degrees. The summary log reads as follows:

Figure 1 shows the Farquharson zone drilling plan over a background of gradient aeromagnetics. Previous diamond drill hole GW24-03 is shown in black. Four holes shown in green were drilled in the current campaign. All 4 holes cut Farquharson zone intercepts over a strike length of 120 meters. Assays are pending on holes GW24-04 and GW24-05. Logging and sampling are near completion on GW24-06 and GW24-07. After hole GW24-07, the drill was moved 1,100 meters northwest to test the Logan zone.

QA-QC Procedures : The core was delivered to a secure facility in Bathurst New Brunswick for detailed logging and sampling. The core descriptions and the summary log for holes GW24-04 and GW24-05 are based on visual observations of the core. The results for holes GW24-01 to GW24-03 were previously reported by SLAM in news releases dated between July 30, 2024 and August 12, 2024. The historic results from previous workers are derived from New Brunswick assessment files that predate NI43-101 regulations. They can only be validated by additional drilling.

About SLAM Exploration Ltd: SLAM Exploration Ltd. is a public resource company with a substantial portfolio of mineral claim holdings in the mineral-rich province of New Brunswick. The Company recently completed three diamond drill holes on the Goodwin copper-nickel project in the BMC of New Brunswick. Highlights include:

• A 60.60-meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent in hole GW24-03  

• A 64.90-meter core interval grading 2.14% copper equivalent in hole GW24-02  

• A 35-meter core interval grading 1.36% copper equivalent in hole GW24-01  

Based on these drilling intercepts, the Company has expanded the Goodwin Project which now comprises 194 units covering 4,239 hectares. Drilling resumed on October 10, 2024.

SLAM has discovered multiple gold veins on its wholly owned Menneval gold project. The Company has reported gold-bearing core intervals, including 162.5 g/t gold over 0.2 meters and 56.90 g/t gold over 0.5 meters (news releases dated December 13, 2021, and November 22, 2022). Additionally, the Company reported quartz float grading up to 39.2 g/t gold on its Jake Lee project, located near the Clarence Stream gold deposit, where Galway Metals Inc. is working on a 2.3-million-ounce gold deposit in southern New Brunswick.

SLAM also owns the Mine Road copper-zinc-silver project, adjacent to the former producing Heath Steele Mines property in the BMC. Previous workers have reported successful diamond drill holes at Mine Road, including IL2014-003, which intersected a 9-meter core interval grading 14.51% zinc, 5.86% lead, 0.67% copper, and 139.9 g/t silver in the volcanogenic massive sulphide Railroad Zone (Doe Run Canadian Exploration ULC; 2015, New Brunswick Assessment Files, Report of Work 477877). The Railroad Zone is located 7,000 meters east of the 20-million-tonne former producing Heath Steele B Zone.

The Company is a project generator and has received significant cash and share payments over the last nine months, including:

• $150,000 cash and 50,000 shares from S2 Minerals Inc. (STWO) on December 19, 2023, pursuant to the Reserve Creek gold agreement.  

• 534,000 shares and 333,000 warrants (exercisable at $0.01) from Nine Mile Metals Inc. (NINE) on March 1, 2024, pursuant to the Wedge Project agreement.  

• $25,000 cash plus 2,500,000 shares of Lode Gold Resources Inc. (LOD) pursuant to the Ramsay Gold agreement.  

The Company holds NSR royalties and expects additional cash and share payments from the Wedge copper-zinc project and the Ramsay, Reserve Creek, and Opikeigen gold projects.
