American Marconi Wireless News - SLAM Reports Gold Assays From 7.42 to 94.80 g/t Gold and Announces Resignation of Director/CFO

MIRAMICHI, NB / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2025 / SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:SXL) ("SLAM" or the "Company") is pleased to report additional gold assay results from its wholly owned Jake Lee mineral claims, located in southwestern New Brunswick. The results were obtained from grab samples collected during the 2025 trenching program.

Eight grab samples were collected from a mineralized quartz vein exposed in bedrock within the first trench of the season (Trench JT25-01). These samples returned assay values from 7.42 grams per tonne ("g/t") to 94.80 g/t gold. The following table summarizes the assay results for all eight (8) samples:

*Abbreviations: Cp-Chalcopyrite, Py-Pyrite, Gn-Galena, Bn-Bornite.

Eight grab samples were collected from the newly identified gold vein previously reported by Slam on May 20, 2025. These samples were taken taken from a bedrock vein in Trench JT25-01 and returned assay values ranging from 7.42 g/t to 94.80 g/t gold. The new gold discovery occurs on the flank of a 2,800 meter long aeromagnetic anomaly as shown on Figure 1.

According to the NBDNRE website, the New River Gold Occurrence 587 is a placer gold occurrence that dates back to the 1960's. In 1998, a bedrock discovery by prospectors produced grab samples grading up to 5.35 g/t gold. Slam's Discovery Gold Vein is located 2,000 meters east of the New River gold occurrence as shown on Figure 1.

Additional samples collected during the 2025 prospecting and trenching program have been submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd. ("Actlabs") in Fredericton, New Brunswick, for gold analysis. Assay results for these samples are pending.

Cautionary Statement: Grab and float samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the overall mineralization on the property.

QA-QC Procedures: The eight reported grab samples were collected from exposed bedrock in trench JT25-01 and delivered directly to Actlabs in Fredericton, New Brunswick for analysis. All samples were processed using Procedure 1A2 (fire assay with atomic absorption finish). Samples exceeding detection limited were reanalyzed using Procedure 1A3 (gravimetric finish).

Exploration Update - Goodwin IP Survey

The Company is conducting an Induced Polarization ("IP") geophysical survey over the Granges, Farquharson and Logan zones located on SLAM's wholly owned Goodwin copper- nickel-cobalt claims in the Bathurst Mining Camp ("BMC") of New Brunswick.

This program follows encouraging results from the 2024 diamond drilling campaign, in which 15 drill holes intercepted significant copper, nickel, and cobalt mineralization. Highlights include:

• Granges Zone: Drill hole GW2402 returned a core interval of 64.90 metres grading 1.49% copper equivalent ("CuEq")

• Farquharson Zone: Drill hole GW2403 intersected 60.60 metres grading 0.84% CuEq.

These CuEq values incorporate an 85% recovery rate, as disclosed in the Company news release date June 30, 2025.

About SLAM Exploration Ltd: SLAM Exploration Ltd. is a publicly listed resource company with a 40,000-hectare portfolio of mineral claim holdings in the mineral-rich province of New Brunswick. The 2025 exploration campaign is in progress on SLAM's contiguous Jake Lee, Roger Lake and Love Lake projects. As reported above, the Company has made a new gold discovery with grab samples grading 7.42 to 94.80 g/t gold.

SLAM drilled 2 holes and cut multiple gold-bearing veins were on its wholly owned Menneval gold project in 2024. The Company 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 in news releases on December 13, 2021 and November 22, 2022.
