-
The gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the CMETC FT units will be used to finance Canadian exploration expenses
that qualify as flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures

Exploration will be conducted on projects with demonstrated potential for critical metals and/or precious metals.
The offering is expected to close on or about Nov. 4, 2024, and is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including, but not limited to, acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

About Slam Exploration Ltd.
Slam Exploration 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-metre core interval grading 1.17 per cent copper equivalent in hole GW24-03;
-
A 64.90-metre core interval grading 2.14 per cent copper equivalent in hole GW24-02;
-
A 35-metre core interval grading 1.36 per cent 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 Oct. 10, 2024.
Slam Exploration has discovered multiple gold veins on its wholly owned Menneval gold project. The company has reported gold-bearing core intervals, including 162.5 grams per tonne gold over 0.2 metre and 56.90 g/t gold over 0.5 metre (news releases dated Dec. 13, 2021, and Nov. 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 Exploration 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 nine-metre core interval grading 14.51 per cent zinc, 5.86 per cent lead, 0.67 per cent 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 metres 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 past nine months, including:
-
$150,000 in cash and 50,000 shares from S2 Minerals Inc. on Dec. 19, 2023, pursuant to the Reserve Creek gold agreement;
-
534,000 shares and 333,000 warrants (exercisable at one cent) from Nine Mile Metals Inc. on March 1, 2024, pursuant to the Wedge project agreement;
-
$25,000 in cash plus 2.5 million shares of Lode Gold Resources Inc. pursuant to the Ramsay gold agreement.
The company holds net smelter return royalties, and expects additional cash and share payments from the Wedge copper-zinc project and the Ramsay, Reserve Creek and Opikeigen gold projects.
