MIRAMICHI, NB / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2025 / SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:SXL) ("SLAM" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that diamond drilling is underway at the Goodwin Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project, located in the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick. The drill is currently set up on hole GW25-16, targeting the Granges Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Zone. This zone was previously tested by GW24-02, which intersected a 64.90 meter core interval grading 0.73% copper, 0.64% nickel and 0.05% cobalt, as reported in the Company's news release dated August 7, 2024.

Hole GW25-16 is positioned approximately 40 meters east and 20 meters north of hole GW24-02 and designed to test the eastward projection of the Granges Zone. In addition, GW24-16 will evaluate an Induced Polarization anomaly at depth below the Granges Zone, as shown in Figure 1.
