MIRAMICHI, New Brunswick, Jan. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company on TSXV: SXL) is pleased to announce two additional gold-bearing float respectively grading 3.390 g/t and 2.420 g/t gold in the vicinity of a previously reported quartz boulder discovery grading 39.300 grams/tonne (“g/t”) gold on its Jake Lee gold project located 30 kilometres west of Saint John, New Brunswick.

In summary, three boulders grading 39.300 g/t gold, 3.390 g/t gold and 2.420 g/t gold respectively occur within a 10 m radius at a location 250 m south of an angular quartz float grading 1.49 g/t gold. Gold ranging from 0.0100 to 0.661 g/t gold was detected in 31 samples from a total of 186 samples that were submitted for assay. These samples were collected by SLAM’s advance scout team during prospecting expeditions conducted in the fall of 2022. The Company has already obtained approval to further test these gold discoveries with a trenching program as soon as weather permits.
