Exploration Underway At Lower 44

SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) ("SLAM" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has mobilized an excavator to its Lower 44 property located in the Bathurst Mining Camp ("BMC") of New Brunswick, Canada. The location is 20 km west of the former producing Brunswick No. 12 mine owned by Glencore and 18 km south of the Caribou mine owned and operated by Trevali Mining Corp. The property is host to 4 volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") occurrences including the former Wedge copper mine, the West Wedge zone, the Essex zone and the Tribag zone.

The excavator will dig for zinc-lead-silver mineralization in a series of trenches designed to test the strike extent of the West Wedge zone, the Essex zone and the Tribag zone. The trenching program is designed to expand upon positive drilling results by previous workers. The best drilling intercept to date is a 3.8 m core length grading 12.9% zinc, 5.35% lead, 0.78% copper, 70.6 g/tonne silver and 1.37 g/t gold reported from the West Wedge zone in 1983. The program will start from the known mineral occurrences and test for potential extensions indicated by soil geochemical anomalies and airborne geophysical conductors. These targets all occur within multiple fold repetitions of favourable strata that extend westward from the Wedge mine.

Joint Venture/Earn-In Opportunity: SLAM has a portfolio of zinc-lead-silver properties available for joint venture or earn-in agreements in the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick. These include Lower 44, Connector, Costigan and other properties with mineral potential demonstrated by previous drilling results as well as airborne and ground geophysical and geochemical surveys. For additional information, call Mike Taylor 506-623-8960.
