The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score for Thursday was a mediocre 91-94-125 as the TSX Venture Exchange fell four points to 962. Mike Taylor's Slam Exploration Ltd. (SXL) jumped 1.5 cents to eight cents on 631,000 shares Wednesday on word that it has drilled a 26.1-metre near-surface interval of massive sulphide mineralization at its Goodwin copper and nickel project in northeastern New Brunswick. Two narrow, just slightly deeper, intervals were noted in that hole, each of them spanning roughly two metres.

The highlight hole, the last of four with new assays, tested a geophysical conductor 100 metres southeast of another new hole. Slam geologizes that it intersected "medium-grained gabbro with a sustained and progressive increase in pyrrhotite mineralization with depth across a 27.85-metre interval ... demonstrating the strong association between the gabbro host rock and sulphide mineralization at this target." That hole was drilled 80 metres east of one completed two years ago that returned 1.54 per cent copper equivalent across 12.14 metres.
