Assays Up To 6.86% Copper and 3.31 g/t Gold Over 0.5 Meters

July 31, 2024 – TheNewswire - Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”) (TSXV-SXL) announces assay results from the first hole including a core interval grading 1.93% copper equivalent over 16.20 meters in hole GW24-01. This interval includes individual assays ranging up to 6.86% copper over 0.50 meters and 3.31 grams/tonne (“g/t”) gold over 0.50 meters cut by diamond drill hole GW24-01. GW24-01 is one of 3 holes recently drilled on SLAM’s wholly owned Goodwin claims located 5 kilometers southwest of the Half Mile copper zinc silver deposit in the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick.

These assay results are from 38 samples of core samples sawn from hole GW24-01 and delivered to ALS Chemex Inc. ALS Chemex analyzed all the samples with ME-ICP41 and PGM-ICP23 methods.

Assays are pending on 98 samples that represent 141.4 meters of sawn core from hole GW24-02 including 31.80 meters of pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite mineralization. Assays are also pending on 78 samples that represent 112.5 meters of sawn core from hole GW24-03 including 58 meters of 15% pyrrhotite mineralization. According to previous workers, pyrrhotite mineralization at Goodwin generally contains nickel.

QA-QC Procedures: Core samples were delivered from the drill to a secure logging facility in Bathurst, New Brunswick. After logging, samples were sawn using a diamond blade saw. Sawn half-core samples were collected in bags, labelled with sample tags and delivered to ALS Chemex Ltd. in Moncton New Brunswick. SLAM inserted standards and blanks into the sample series. ALS Chemex analyzed all samples using the multi-element analyses using their methods ME-ICP41 and PGM-ICP23.
