05 March 2024 - 6:51AM
SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV-SXL)
(“
SLAM” or the “
Company”)
announces that CEO Mike Taylor is doing a presentation at The
Atlantic Edge Investors Program at PDAC at 3:00 PM Tuesday, March 5
about SLAM’s Mine Road zinc copper silver acquisition reported in a
news release September 6, 2023. The Mine Road project is host to 6
volcanic massive sulphide (“VMS”) occurrences spread over a 9.555
hectare group of mineral claims adjacent to the former producing
Heath Steele mine in the mineral-rich Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”)
of northern New Brunswick. For more information on the Atlantic
Edge Program, click the Atlantic Edge Investors Program.
Historic Mine Road Drilling:
Diamond drill hole IL2014-003 cored a 9 metre interval grading
14.51% zinc, 5.86% lead, 0.67% copper and 139.9 g/t silver on the
Railroad zone. Diamond drill hole IL2018-01 intersected 7.0 meters
of 0.9% copper on the Roche Trend, 5 kilometres southwest of the
Railroad Zone. This drilling data is a small sample of the wealth
of data resulting from $1,448,000 in exploration expenditures
applied to the Mine Road project during the past 12 years. Current
assessment work credits of $428,776 are available for future claim
renewals.
Drill-Ready VMS Targets At Mine
Road: The Railroad and Roche zones are open to test for
potential extensions at depth and along strike. Other targets
include the Island Lake, Captain West, Sandburn Brook and Brunsman
VMS occurrences along with a number of untested airborne conductors
and magnetic anomalies.
Infrastructure: The Mine Road
project is located on the Mine Road (Route 430) which connects the
former Heath Steele mine to the city of Miramichi 60 kilometres to
the southeast. The claims are accessed from this paved road and a
series of logging roads. Electric power is available from lines
that connect Heath Steele to the New Brunswick power grid.
Mine Road Project: SLAM has
acquired 3 additional mineral claims since acquisition of the Mine
Road project. The expanded project now covers 9,555 hectares of
mineral potential adjacent to the former producing Heath Steele
mine property where 21 M tonnes were mined from 1957 to 1996. A
total of 2,330 million pounds of zinc, 833 million pounds of lead,
446 million pounds of copper and 45 million ounces of silver were
processed. (For reference, these numbers are derived from:

SLAM holds a large portfolio of mineral claim holdings in the
mineral-rich province of New Brunswick. The flagship is SLAM’s
wholly owned Menneval gold project in northern New Brunswick. SLAM
has discovered multiple gold-bearing veins and previously reported
gold bearing core intervals including 162.5 g/t gold over 0.2 m and
56.90 g/t gold over 0.5 m (news releases December 13, 2021 and Nov
22, 2022) The Company has also reported significant gold
discoveries in southern New Brunswick on its Jake Lee and Highway
projects in the vicinity of the Clarence Stream gold deposit where
Galway Metals Inc. is working on a 2.3 M ounce gold deposit. The
Highway project has demonstrated polymetallic potential with 10
known mineral occurrences that include zinc, silver, copper,
cobalt, molybdenum and tin as well as gold.
The Company recently added the Mine Road zinc
silver project to its base metal portfolio in the mineral rich
Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick. Previous workers drilled
massive sulphide zones including with 2 massive sulphide intervals
in hole IL2014-003 with a 9 metre core interval grading 14.51%
zinc, 5.86% lead, 0.67% copper and 139.9 g/t silver and a 3 metre
interval grading 6.57% zinc, 2.78% lead, 0.46% copper, and 68.1 g/t
silver.
The Company holds NSR royalties and expects
additional cash and share payments on the Wedge copper zinc
project. SLAM also holds NSR royalties and may receive addition
cash and share payments on the Ramsay, Reserve Creek and Opikeigen
gold projects.
