American Marconi Wireless News - SLAM IP Survey Identifies Deep Conductive Target Beneath Granges and Logan Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Zones at Goodwin and Appoints New CFO

MIRAMICHI, NB / ACCESS Newswire / July 18, 2025 / SLAM Exploration Ltd. ("SLAM" or the "Company") (TSXV:SXL) is pleased to announce the results from an Induced Polarization ("IP") survey conducted over the Granges, Farquharson and Logan copper nickel cobalt zones on its wholly owned Goodwin claims, located in the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick. The IP survey identified a highly chargeable deep conductor situated between the Granges and the Logan zone. As previously reported, drill hole GW2402 intersected a 64.90-meter core interval grading 1.49% copper equivalent ("CuEq"), from 23.60 meters to 88.50 meters, within the Granges zone.

The Company is encouraged by these exciting results. As shown on Figure 1, charge abilities ranging up to the 990 Mv/v define deep targets in the vicinity of the Granges zone. To further define these targets, the Company has designed on a grid of lines spaced at 100 meters to covering a 2,000 x 2,000 meter area over the Granges, Farquharson and Logan zones as well as potential extensions. The Company is requesting price quotes for linecutting and an IP survey over this grid.

Copper equivalent grades for hole GW24-02 were calculated using a recovery rate of 85%, based on assay results set out in the table below and previously disclosed in the Company's news releases dated August 7, 2024 (GW2402).

Results are pending on a second IP line L400E and the IP survey is in progress on the third line, L5300E. This line will run directly over hole GW24-03 on the Farquharson zone.

Preliminary IP chargeability and resistivity results for the first line (L200E) as described above are shown with inversions on Figure 1.

Assays are pending on additional samples collected from the same area.

About SLAM Exploration Ltd: SLAM Exploration Ltd. is a publicly traded resource company with a 40,000-hectare portfolio of mineral claim holdings in the mineral-rich province of New Brunswick. The Company commenced its 2025 exploration season with a new bedrock gold discovery on its Jake Lee Gold Project, reporting four samples grading between 18.50 g/t and 75.90 g/t gold (see news release dated May 20, 2025), followed by eight samples ranging from 7.42 g/t to 94.80 g/t ( see news release dated July 9, 2025).

The 2025 exploration program on the Company's Goodwin Copper-nickel-cobalt project is now underway, beginning with the IP survey designed to refine drill targets within and surrounding three mineralized zones where SLAM completed 15 diamond drill holes in 2024. Notably, drill hole GW2402 on the Granges Zone intersected a 64.90-meter core interval grading 1.49% CuEq, from 23.60 meters to 88.50 meters (CuEq calculated using an 85% recovery rate based on assay results disclosed in the Company's news release dated August 7, 2024).
