Assays include 7.95% zinc, 4.71% lead, 118.57 g/t silver and 1.09 g/t gold; trenching continues to test airborne conductors and other targets
SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: SXL) (“SLAM”) announces trenching results from the new discovery at its TSN project. A total of 50 grab samples were collected from 5 trenches. The table below includes the more significant assay results.

These results were obtained from 4 trenches covering a strike length of approximately 400 metres at the TSN discovery. From a total of 50 samples, 6 samples of near-solid and stringer sulphide mineralization range from 1.58 to 7.95% zinc, 1.40 to 4.71% lead and 26.16 to 118.57 g/t silver. Thirty-eight of the 50 samples contain quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization ranging from 0.10 to 1.00% combined base metals and 6 samples contain quartz-pyrite mineralization with base metals in trace amounts ranging 0 to 0.10%.
The overburden depths vary from 2 to 6 metres in these trenches. The samples were collected from large slabs of loose excavated material. Individual samples may represent either basal till or bedrock. The trenching program is currently testing a series of airborne conductors and magnetic trends that strike for 14 km across the property. The purpose of this program is to discover additional sulphide mineralization beneath the extensive till cover in this area.
The wholly owned TSN property comprises 607 claims, covering 9712 hectares located 50 km west of Miramichi in the Bathurst Mining Camp. Although the area is underlain by highly prospective Miramichi and Tetagouche Group sedimentary and volcanic rocks, previous exploration has been limited due to lack of outcrop. The rock sequence appears similar and along strike to that hosting the 150 million tonne Brunswick Mining and Smelting No. 12 Mine located 50 km to the north.
The TSN property is part of SLAM’s strategy to discover and develop base metal resources within close proximity to the world-class Bathurst Mining Camp in New Brunswick. The Nash Creek zinc deposit remains the Company’s main focus. Work in progress includes an update of the Nash Creek resource estimate in a 43-101 Technical Report being prepared by Wardrop Engineering Inc.
