SLAM Launches Gold Exploration Program
25 April 2023 - 4:38PM
SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“
SLAM” or
the “
Company”
on TSXV: SXL) is
pleased to announce the start of its 2023 gold exploration program
on its Jake Lee gold project located 30 kilometres west of Saint
John, New Brunswick. SLAM’s exploration team is prospecting and
trenching to test the area of gold-bearing boulders respectively
grading 39.300 grams/tonne (“g/t”) gold, 3.390 g/t gold, 2.420 g/t
gold and 1.49 g/t gold discovered during prospecting expeditions
conducted in October-November, 2022. The Company also intends to
conduct preliminary trenching program on the CT vein where SLAM’s
team discovered a 6 m wide quartz vein in outcrop. A train of
angular float north and south of this outcrop suggest a
strike-length of at least 700 m. As reported November 17, 2022,
thirteen grab samples collected from angular float associated with
the CT vein contain anomalous levels of gold ranging from 0.004 g/t
to 0.125 g/t gold. The Company has obtained approval to further
test these gold discoveries with a trenching program and to follow
with diamond drilling if warranted. For SLAM’s corporate
presentation including more information about the Jake Lee gold
project click SXL Deck.
Marketing - Stockhouse
Engagement
SLAM has signed a 12-month contract to engage
Stockhouse for marketing and public awareness. Stockhouse, a
division of The Market Herald, will broaden the audience for SLAM
and ensure that its ongoing saga of exploration and discovery is
effectively communicated to the Stockhouse community of highly
targeted smallcap-microcrocap investors. Stockhouse will be paid an
aggregate cash amount of C$62,000 for its services. SLAM intends to
ramp up its shareholder and public communications to improve the
volume and share price to match an accelerated level of exploration
activities that could lead to additional discoveries of gold as
well as critical elements.
The Jake Lee Gold Project:
SLAM’s Jake Lee gold project comprises 6 claims covering 9,508
hectares spread over a 20 km stretch of volcano-sedimentary rocks
along the Wheaton Brook and Belleisle Bay fault zones. Five of the
6 mineral claims are wholly owned by SLAM. The Roger Lake claim is
subject to completion of cash and share payments over a 4-year
period and a 2% NSR royalty. The Company may purchase one half of
the royalty for $1,000,000 at any time and the remaining half of
the royalty for $2,000,000 at any time (SLAM news release Nov
2, 2022). The Lepreau river placer gold occurrence (reference 563 -
New Brunswick Mineral Occurrence database) lies within the Roger
Lake claim. In addition, gold was detected in one soil sample
containing 16.200 g/t gold and 121 samples ranging from 0.010 to
0.173 g/t gold by a soil geochemical survey of 1904 samples
collected in 2021.
About SLAM Exploration Ltd:
The Company explores for critical elements as
well as gold and pursues an aggressive property acquisition
strategy. SLAM researches new mineral properties and claim staking
opportunities to generate projects and then follow with exploration
programs. The Company is currently testing recent gold discoveries
reported at Jake Lee by prospecting and trenching. Prospecting is
also planned on the recently acquired Highway project as well as
the Mount Victor and Mount Blair projects. These projects have
potential for gold and critical elements targets in southwestern
New Brunswick where Galway Metals recently announced a 2.3 million
ounce gold deposit at Clarence stream. The Company plans further
work at its drill-ready Menneval gold project in northern New
Brunswick and intends to explore cobalt, nickel and copper
geochemical anomalies on its Portage project in the Bathurst Mining
Camp (“BMC”) later in 2023. The Company is evaluating the
Cumberland Bay rare earth element (REE) project in central New
Brunswick and the Keezhik gold project in Ontario.
The Company continues to generate cash and
collect securities from mineral property option agreements with
other companies. The Company raised proceeds of $76,500 in a
December flow-through financing and has sufficient funds for the
work currently in progress. To view SLAM’s corporate

QA-QC Procedures:
SLAM collected grab samples from boulders and
outcrop during prospecting expeditions in October and November,
2022. A total of 49 samples were submitted to AGAT Laboratories of
Mississauga, Ontario for gold analysis using Fire Assay with AAS
finish. One sample above the 10 g/t detection limit was re-assayed
using a gravimetric method. In addition, 137 samples were submitted
to ALS Chemex for sample prep in Moncton, New Brunswick followed by
gold analysis using fire assay with AAS finish (Au-AA23).
