SLAM Makes New Gold Discovery
Angular Quartz Boulders Grade Up To 118 g/t Gold On New Project
Miramichi, New Brunswick - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (OTCBB: SLMF) ("SLAM") is pleased to report a new bonanza gold discovery on its wholly-owned Menneval claims in New Brunswick. The new discovery is 30 km north of the Lavoie gold occurrence where trenching produced grab samples grading up to 493 g/t gold on SLAM’s NW Gold project as reported January 9, 2012.
SLAM has named this new discovery the “Maisie Zone”. It comprises 3 angular boulders of mineralized quartz with grab samples ranging from 5.16 to 118 g/t gold. These boulders are aligned with several other auriferous quartz boulders grading up to 0.367 g/t gold over a distance of 2500 m. Company geologists also found a quartz boulder grading 1.54 g/t gold that appears to represent a separate vein structure located at a distance of 5800 m. Assays are pending on additional prospecting samples.
The Company is very encouraged by this new discovery. SLAM geologists have identified the widespread presence of auriferous quartz boulders in the vicinity of the bonanza grade Maisie Zone boulders. Only preliminary, reconnaissance prospecting has been completed to date. The Company is now following up with more detailed prospecting in preparation for a trenching program.
Detailed prospecting is also in progress on the NW Gold project and is generating a number of new trenching targets in addition to the original Lavoie gold discovery. Both the Menneval and NW Gold projects have demonstrated significant gold potential. The Company will continue the prospecting campaign and expects to follow with trenching to test these sites.
About The Menneval Project: SLAM acquired by map-staking the original claim group based upon air- borne geophysical and topographic features. SLAM acquired additional claims after the Maisie zone discovery and now holds 100% interest in 11 contiguous claims covering 18,840 hectares all acquired by map-staking near Menneval in northwest New Brunswick. In addition to the Maisie zone, the property is host to 3 skarn deposits where exploration programs date back to 1965.
Previous workers have tested the skarn zones with approximately 27 diamond drill holes for a total of 4850 m. Copper was the main target and the most significant intercept was 0.57 % copper over 57.5 feet (17.5 metres) drilled in 1973. Reported higher grade intercepts include 2.20% copper + 1.88 opt (oz per ton) silver over 2.5 ft (0.76m) and 8.86% copper + 4.15 opt silver over 2.0 feet (0.6 m).
Claim Acquisition: The Company signed an agreement with Tim Lavoie to purchase an additional 4 claims covering 692 hectares subject to a 1.5% NSR. SLAM can buy down 0.5% NSR for C$0.5M and has right of first refusal on remaining 1%. These claims are contiguous to SLAM’s wholly owned Menneval Project.
The Company also owns 4 additional claim groups covering 3042 hectares in the Saint Quentin area.
About New Brunswick: New Brunswick is currently rated the world’s most attractive jurisdiction for mineral exploration and development, as announced by the Fraser Institute, February 23, 2012. The Province has demonstrated potential for large mineral deposits and can be expected to generate mining operations well beyond the world-class BMS No. 12 mine operated by Xstrata.

Tests Show Recoveries At 96% Zinc, 80% Copper, 75% Lead And 68% Silver
Miramichi, New Brunswick - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (OTCBB: SLMF) ("SLAM") is pleased to announce results from laboratory flotation tests completed on Nepisiguit A-Zone core samples. The tests were completed by RPC Science & Engineering (“RPC”) of Fredericton, NB and are summarized in a report by RPC titled: “Preliminary Metallurgical Scoping Study - Nepisiguit Drill Core”. The A-Zone is part of SLAM’s wholly-owned Nepisiguit Project where SLAM recently announced a new 3M tonne NI-43-101 compliant inferred resource in New Brunswick.
The RPC tests indicate recoveries of 96% zinc, 80% copper, 75% lead and 68% silver are attainable. The head grade of the test sample was 5.88% zinc, 1.53% lead, 0.43% copper and 52 g/t silver. A total of 9 flotation tests were carried out with a variety of recovery techniques. Results indicate that bulk copper/lead flotation followed by zinc flotation would be the best option for the treatment of the Nepisiguit deposit. This is consistent with other deposits in the Bathurst Mining Camp.
Inferred resources for the A-zone and the C-Zone were estimated by Tetra Tech as reported by SLAM news release on June 5, 2012. The A-Zone is most significant with an Inferred Resource of 2,985,432 tonnes grading 3.13% zinc, 0.81% lead, 0.22% copper and 30.28 g/t silver based on a 1.5% zinc equivalent cut-off. The A-Zone is open at depth and in all directions, located near-surface and thought to be amenable to open-pit mining methods.
Recommendations
RPC recommends further studies to complete the technical feasibility of the Nepisiguit deposit. Tetra Tech has recommended a trenching and drilling program to upgrade and potentially increase the resource. SLAM intends to implement these recommendations and expects to begin an Environmental Impact Assessment process for a potential open pit mining operation.
About Nepisiguit: SLAM’s 100% owned Nepisiguit project comprises 121 claim units covering 2644 hectares located on highway 430 approximately 15 km southwest of the world-class BMS No. 12 mine operated by Xstrata. The deposit is approximately 30 km from the Caribou mill just purchased and being put into production by Trevali. Additional information about Nepisiguit can be viewed on SLAM’s website at http://www.slamresources.com/projects/new-brunswick/nepisiguit/.

Diamond drilling program underway at its wholly owned Goodwin project in northern New Brunswick. The Goodwin project is located 25 km southwest of SLAM's Nepisiguit copper-lead- zinc-silver deposit and 5 km south of the Halfmile lead-zinc-silver deposit currently being developed by Trevali Mining Corporation (TSE: TV) in the prolific Bathurst Mining Camp. The Company expects to complete 3 drill holes for an approximate total of 500 m. The initial hole, GW12-01 has collared into mineralized gabbro, cut a 3 m zone with visible sulphides from 6.0 m to 9.0 m (see photo) and is still in progress.
About Goodwin: SLAM's 100% owned Goodwin project comprises 120 claims covering 2,500 hectares located in the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick. The Goodwin Project is host to the Bruce copper-nickel deposit discovered by Rio Tinto Canadian Exploration (Rio) in 1955. Rio reported a chip sample grading 0.63% Ni and 0.60% Cu over 26.0 feet from a trench near the discovery and subsequently drilled 14 holes for a total of 2443 feet. The most significant drilling intercept was reported at a grade of 1.05% nickel, 0.36% copper and 0.038% cobalt over a 9.5 foot core interval. No samples were assayed for platinum, palladium, gold or silver. There is no record of drilling since 1955.
SLAM's 2004 MegaTEM aeromagnetic survey covering the entire Bathurst Mining Camp indicates a 900 m X 500 m magnetic anomaly associated with the Bruce deposit. A 2011 Mobile Metallic Ion geochemical survey outlines a nickel anomaly of similar dimensions. The deposit is associated with a layered mafic intrusive body with dimensions approximately 1400 m X 1400 m.
The Goodwin drilling program is consistent with the corporate objective of building assets in the mineral-rich Bathurst Mining Camp. Final results are pending from the 70 hole diamond drilling program completed at SLAM's wholly-owned Nepisiguit deposit at year end.

Slam Reports Grab Samples Up To 493 G/T Gold
Assays Confirm Bonanza Gold Veins At New Saint-Quentin Gold Discovery
TSXV: SXL US-OTC: SLMF
MIRAMICHI, NB, Jan. 9, 2012 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (US-OTC: SLMF) ("SLAM") is pleased to report assay results ranging up to 493 g/t gold from trenching at the recently acquired "Saint-Quentin" gold discovery in northwest New Brunswick. Nine grab samples collected from Vein 7 contain gold ranging from 0.5 g/t to 493 g/t gold. These include 5 bonanza grade samples in the range 244 to 493 g/t gold. Vein 7 was exposed and sampled over a strike length of 10 m. It ranges up to 1.2 m in width and is located approximately 90 m north of the original gold discovery.
In addition, trenching beneath the original discovery uncovered a quartz vein (the "Discovery Vein) with a strike length of approximately 10 m ranging up to 1.5 m in width. Visible gold was reported in a previous press release December 6, 2011. Six grab samples from the Discovery Vein contain gold ranging from 0.11 g/t to 21.6 g/t gold. It should be noted that grab samples are selective by nature and unlikely to represent average grades of the deposits.
TheCompanyalsouncoveredaseriesofquartzveinsintrenches250msouthofVein7. Ninegrabsamplescollectedfromthisareasamplescontainanomalous gold ranging from up 0.60 g/t gold. This suggests an extensive gold-bearing system and the Company is currently trenching to test for additional veining and mineralization in this area.
The Company drilled 4 holes beneath the gold-bearing quartz vein in trench 7. One hole NW11-02 intersected quartz veining with anomalous gold grading 0.04 g/t over 1.6 m. After drilling at St. Quentin, the drill was moved to Nash Creek to test a deep Induced Polarization target.
Mike Taylor, President and CEO states; "Considering that this is a brand new gold discovery, SLAM is very encouraged by these results and intends to exercise the next stage of its option. The trenching is generating spectacular gold grades and has extended the gold-bearing structure over a strike-length of 250 m. We plan to follow up with a program of soil geochemistry, prospecting and trenching designed to further trace this system and identify other gold-bearing structures within the extensive NW Gold property."
About The SAINT QUENTIN Gold Discovery: SLAM has an option to earn 100% interest in the NW Gold Project which comprises 251 units in 20 claims located near Saint Quentin, in northwest New Brunswick. Combined they cover 6275 hectares of highly prospective sedimentary rocks with favourable gold-bearing structures.

Slam Cutting Copper-Zinc-Lead-Silver at Depth
50 Holes Drilled on Expanded Program 15 Km from BMS No. 12 Mine
TSXV: SXL US-OTC: SLMF
MIRAMICHI, NB, Dec. 9, 2011 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: SXL) (US-OTC: SLMF) ("SLAM") is pleased to announce assay results from an additional 6 diamond drill holes NP11-18 to NP11-23 all drilled on the A-Zone at its wholly owned Nepisiguit project located 15 km west of the BMS No. 12 Mine operated by Xstrata in New Brunswick. Previously announced holes NP11-16 and 17 (press release October 27, 2011) combined with holes NP11-18 to NP111-20 extend the near-surface mineralization to a strike length of 350 m. Holes NP11-21 to 23 tested for deeper mineralization beneath previously drilled intercepts.
Hole NP11-23 intersected 14.6 m of massive sulphide mineralization including 10.99% zinc, 3.16% lead and 52.48 g/t silver over 2.9 m at a depth of 387.6 m. This is below any previous sulphide intercept and suggests significant potential to expand tonnage beyond the A-Zone at Nepisiguit.
Assays are pending on an additional 42 holes. These include 16 holes drilled on a pattern designed to define near-surface massive sulphide mineralization in the A-Zone. The primary objective of the program is to drill enough holes to define a near-surface NI43-101 compliant resource amenable to open-pit mining. After discovery of deeper mineralization in Hole NP11-23, a number of holes were drilled below NP11-23 as well as along strike to test the potential for a large VMS deposit at depth. The deepest intercept to date is an 11m core interval of massive sulphides intersected at a depth of 614m in hole NP11-39. The A-Zone is open at depth below this deep intercept.

H. M. VISAGIE REPORT POSTS COVERAGE ON SLAM - May Result In Significant Improvement in Economics For The Nash Creek Deposit
TSXV: SXL US-OTC: SLMF
MIRAMICHI, NB, April 28 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:SXL) (US-OTC:SLMXF) ("SLAM") was covered today in the "Daily Report - April 28, 2011" by H. M. Visagie with the following comment: "The ability to upgrade the low grade open pit feed using a DMS plant may result in a significant improvement in the economics for the Nash project. The improvement in economics will depend how the metallurgical response of the upgraded feed in the flotation circuit and the overall impact on capital and operating costs are impacted."
Mr. Visagie's comments follow a SLAM press release reporting successful Dense Media Separation (DMS) test results on 4 core sample from hole NC11-220 at its wholly owned Nash Creek property in New Brunswick with significant upgrades indicated on all samples. Sample 4, from the new zone beneath the NI43-101 deposit was enriched 2.7 times to 2.33% lead, 11.95% zinc and 63 g/t silver. For further information, refer to the press release issued 27 April 2011.
SLAM is very encouraged by the results of this program. The DMS results are very positive. The assay results include broad intervals of silver, lead and zinc mineralization beneath the known deposit indicating potential for a much larger deposit. The Company is planning additional work designed to further expand the deposit in 2011.
About The Nash Creek Deposit:
SLAM's 100% owned Nash Creek deposit contains an indicated resource of 468M lbs zinc, 95M lbs lead and 4.6M oz silver, plus inferred resource of 71.0M lbs zinc, 14M lbs lead and 0.7M oz silver.

DEEP MINERALIZATION INTERSECTED AT NASH CREEK
Mar. 1, 2011 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
Significant New Mineralization In Deep Hole Suggests Potential at Depth
TSX-V: SXL US-OTC: SLMF
MIRAMICHI, NB, March 1 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: SXL) ("SLAM") reports hole NC11-220 intersected 320m of mineralized core containing up to 20% sulphide mineralization. The 583m drill hole was angle drilled to the west at a dip of 62 degrees. The primary purpose was to recover mineralized core from the Nash Creek deposit to supply rock for Dense Media Separation (DMS) metallurgical testing. The hole was extended 260m beyond the original proposed depth of 320m because sulphide mineralization was intersected in sufficient amounts to warrant extension of the hole.
Assays are pending on 261 samples submitted for copper-lead-zinc-silver assay. The Nash Creek NI43-101 compliant deposit is represented by a 93m interval containing 10 to 20% sulphide mineralization from 145m to 238m and a 35.7m interval with 10 to 15% sulphide mineralization from 241.3m to 277m.
Additional mineralized zones occur below the base of the deposit including a 10m interval from 282m to 292m and a 115m interval from 323m to 438m each containing up to 10% sulphides. A deeper interval from 438m to 538m is variably mineralized with up to 5% sulphides suggesting significant potential for extensions of the Nash Creek deposit at depth.
DMS Testing: Five of the samples representing 25.99m of mineralized core were submitted to the RPC research facility for DMS testing. The DMS process is designed to separate the relatively dense zinc-lead bearing sulphide mineralization from the lighter wall-rock based upon the difference in specific gravity. This test may determine whether the Nash Creek ores can be upgraded prior to milling. Upon production, this process would effectively increase the grade going to mill, thereby reducing energy consumption and transportation costs as well as extending mine life.
Derek F. Brown, P.Geo. and consultant to SLAM is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein. All cores were delivered to a secure facility. Logging and sampling have been completed. Samples have been shipped for assaying and testing with results pending.
About Nash Creek:
SLAM's eastern flagship property boasts excellent infrastructure with a power-line, railway and major highway transecting the property. These links provide immediate access to the Belledune seaport and lead smelter located within 25 km as well as Xstrata's BMS No. 12 mine and mill within 75 km. Maple Minerals Caribou mine/mill complex, although not currently in operation, is approximately 90 km by road from Nash Creek.
Nash Creek's 43-101 compliant resource estimate includes 7.8 M tonnes of indicated resource comprised of zinc, lead and silver.

SLAM COMPLETES DRILLING AT SILVERJACK
Widespread Copper, Lead, Zinc and Silver Mineralization
MIRAMICHI, NB, Feb. 18 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) ("SLAM") announces it has completed a drilling program on its Silverjack property in New Brunswick with a total of 2884m drilled in 22 holes. After Silverjack the drill was moved to Nash Creek.
The final 2 holes at Silverjack were SJ11-41 and 42 drilled near the Doyle copper-silver occurrence. SJ11-41 intersected 4 zones containing sulphides and copper mineralization over drill core intervals ranging from 0.3 to 1.33m, the latter at a depth of 108.1m. Assays are pending on these copper intercepts. This hole is beneath a trench dug by previous workers. During the 2010 prospecting program, SLAM collected 2 grab samples from rubble beside the trench that assayed 8.67% copper with 171 g/t silver and 4.99 % copper with 150 g/t silver respectively.
A 2500m long aeromagnetic trend is associated with this copper zone. It occurs within sediments and limestones similar to the Silverjack deposit 1,000m to the east where SLAM previously reported high grade drilling results ranging up to 653 g/t (19.05 oz/ton) silver, 2.69% copper, 11.9% zinc and 9.8% lead (news release 16 February, 2010). Both the Doyle and Silverjack zones are historic occurrences acquired through agreements with prospectors.
Holes SJ10-32 to SJ11-38 were drilled to test for potential extensions up to 1600m south of the Silverjack zone. These holes intersected limestones and sediments with local zones of lead-zinc mineralization. The most significant intercepts were in hole SJ11-38 with individual samples ranging up to 12.36% lead-zinc over 0.3m and anomalous intervals up to 0.75% lead-zinc over 18.7m. Holes SJ11-35, 39 and 40 tested a copper occurrence discovered in the 2010 prospecting program. Hole SJ11-35 intersected 5.23% copper, 42 g/t silver and 1330 g/t cobalt over 0.3m.
The significant grades combined with multiple occurrences over a large area suggest the presence of a large scale mineralized system. The Company plans additional trenching and drilling in 2011 to test for extensions to high grade silver, copper, lead and zinc mineralization at both the Silverjack and Doyle occurrences.
Mike Taylor, P.Geo. President & CEO is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein. Drill cores were delivered from the drill to a secure site for logging and sampling. Selected drill cores were split or sawn and one half sent to Activation Laboratories.

The large greenstone belt surrounding Fort Hope has many similarities to the prolific Red Lake gold mining camp and has potential to be a major gold producing area. The Red Lake, Pickle Lake and Fort Hope gold areas are part of the Uchi subprovince, a major system of greenstone belts extending from Lake Winnipeg to the Hudson Bay lowlands.
The Reserve Creek drilling activities are being conducted in consultation with Eabametoong First Nation ("EFN") in accordance with a mutual Exploration Agreement. This Agreement calls for EFN and SLAM to work cooperatively to advance the gold potential of Reserve Creek and other projects in the Fort Hope area of Ontario.

SLAM DRILLING MORE INTERCEPTS AT RESERVE CREEK GOLD PROJECT
Stepping West From High Grade Gold Intercepts Ranging Up To 27.43 g/t Gold Over 1m
MIRAMICHI, NB, Feb. 2 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) ("SLAM") announces completion of 9 diamond drill holes since it resumed activity at its wholly owned Reserve Creek gold project in the Fort Hope gold area of Ontario. Assays are pending on 355 samples shipped to the lab from the first 5 holes. The Company drilled 6 holes in the vicinity of hole RS10-25 and 3 holes to test the strike extent of the mineralized zone up to 90m east of hole RS10-16. This hole intersected bonanza grade gold mineralization up to 274 g/t gold over 0.5m within a 16.85 m interval grading 16.45 g/t gold (news release 17 August 2010).
The Company is now drilling hole RS11-35 on a section 15 m west of hole RS10-25 which cut a 10.4 m core interval of grading 7.68 g/t gold (0.22 oz/t) with individual samples ranging up to 27.43 g/t gold over 1.0 m (news release 21 January 2011). Hole RS11-35 is the westernmost hole drilled to date and is designed to extend the zone along strike.
Based upon drilling results in December, the Company staked an additional 157 claim units in 12 claims covering 2512 hectares of property mainly on Eabamet Lake. Airborne geophysical surveys indicate that Reserve Creek geology and structures extend over these claims.
The Company has extended the initial 2,000m drilling contract begun in December to a total of 5,000m. With approximately $5M cash in the treasury the Company expects to expand the drilling program beyond the 5,000 m contract.
The core intervals described are drilled intervals. True thicknesses are unknown. All drill cores were delivered from the drill sites to a facility in Fort Hope for logging and sampling. Selected cores were split or sawn with half retained for reference. Sampled halves were shipped to Accurassay in Thunder Bay for gold assay. Standards and blanks were inserted in the sample batches to augment the Quality Assurance and Quality Control program utilized by the laboratory. Michael R. Taylor, P.Geo. President and CEO of SLAM is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein.

Trenching Copper, Silver And Cobalt As Well As Lead-Zinc Mineralization
Dec. 10, 2010 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
http://newsystocks.com/news/3853853
MIRAMICHI, NB, Dec. 10 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) ("SLAM") announces trenching results from its Silverjack property in New Brunswick. A total of 14 trenches were completed for a total of 2600 linear metres. Fifty grab samples were collected from 13 trenches where copper, lead and or zinc mineralization were observed.
Two trenches were dug on copper occurrences. A copper vein newly discovered during the summer by SLAM's exploration team 1000 m south of the Silverjack zone was excavated over a strike length of 80 m. The vein ranges up to 30 cm wide and is open along strike and at depth. Eight grab samples from this trench returned values ranging up to 8.0 % copper, 86 g/t silver, 1480 ppm cobalt, 1.82 ppm indium and 222 ppb gold. The other copper occurrence is near the historic Doyle vein located 1200 m west of the Silverjack zone. Trench number 13 uncovered this vein along strike west of the historic occurrence. Four grab samples over a strike length of 40 metres grade from 0.35% to 2.4% copper and from 12 g/t to 263 g/t silver.
The remaining 11 trenches uncovered 4 separate mineralized horizons ranging from 0.5 to 5 m wide up to 1600 m south of the Silverjack zone. Grab samples from these trenches range from 0.63 to 7.76% zinc and 0.85 to 4.66 % lead with minor values in copper(up to 0.5%) and silver(up to 33 g/t).
These mineralized horizons are associated with altered limestones, conglomerates and sandstones similar to those hosting the Silverjack zone where SLAM previously drilled high grade core intervals ranging up to 653 g/t (19.05 oz/ton) silver, 2.69% copper, 2.00% zinc and 2.34% lead over a 0.75m core interval. This high grade sample occurs within a 6.6 m interval grading 268.20 g/t silver (7.82 oz/ton), 1.27 % copper, 5.65% zinc and 4.53% lead as announced by press release 16 February 2010.
SLAM has completed 2100 m of the 3000 m drilling program. The initial focus was to extend the high grade Silverjack zone with a series of 12 shallow holes testing 4 sections spaced at 20 m intervals. Assays are pending on these holes. Hole SJ10-36, drilled beneath the new copper discovery, intersected a 0.4 m interval of semi-massive sulphide mineralization at a depth of 20 metres. The drill is currently testing a soil anomaly in the vicinity of the lead-zinc bearing horizons identified by trenching 1600 m south of the Silverjack zone. Additional targets include step-outs from hole 36 to further test the new copper occurrence as well as the Doyle copper occurrence.
The recently expanded Silverjack property comprises 160 wholly owned mineral claims plus 13 claims under option for a total of 3715 hectares. The property is 4 kilometres from the Belledune smelter and seaport and is adjacent to SLAM's Nash Creek property comprised of 406 mineral claims covering 6,496 hectares. The trenching and drilling program are being funded in part by a provincial grant of $35,000 under the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program.

SLAM DRILLS MORE INTERCEPTS AT RESERVE CREEK GOLD DEPOSIT
Dec. 9, 2010 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
Mineralized Zone Over Significant Intervals In First Three Holes
MIRAMICHI, NB, Dec. 9 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) ("SLAM") announces visible gold in 2 of the first 3 diamond drill holes in a 2,000 m program at its wholly owned Reserve Creek project in the Fort Hope area of Ontario. All 3 holes RS10-17 to 19 intersected silicified tuffs with pyrrhotite-pyrite mineralization similar to hole RS10-16 drilled in June 2010. SLAM reported bonanza grade gold mineralization with individual samples up to 274 g/t gold over 0.5 meters within a 16.85 m core interval grading 16.45 g/t gold from hole RS10-16 (news release 17 August 2010).
Hole RS10-17 intersected a 14 m core interval of silicified tuff containing pyrrhotite-pyrite mineralization from 21 m to 35 m and specks of visible gold at 31.2 m. RS10-18 intersected similar mineralization over a 34.5 m core interval from 30 to 64.5 m. Hole RS10-19 intersected an 11 m mineralized core interval from 53.0-64.0 m with fine specks visible gold at 53.4 and 53.6 m.
Holes RS10-17 to 19 were drilled from same set-up at 45 o, 60 o and 70 o and to depths of 60.96m, 85.34m and 140.21m respectively to define a section 15 m east of bonanza hole RS10-16.

(TSX-V: SXL) ("SLAM") announces it plans to complete the second tranche of a non-brokered private placement to raise an additional $1,050,000 through the issuance of 5,000,000 flow-through units (FT Units) at a price of $0.21 per FT Unit. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share and 1/2 common share warrant ("Warrant"). Each full Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one non-flow-through common share at a price of $0.25 per share for a period of 12 months and at a price of $0.40 for an additional 12 months, expiring 24 months after issuance. The private placement remains subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company expects to close this financing on or about 15 December 2010. SLAM will pay a cash finder's fee equal to 5% of the proceeds raised by the MineralFields Group and will issue finders options equal to 7% of the number of FT Units subscribed for by the MineralFields Group. Each finders option is exercisable for non-flow-through units on terms similar to the FT Units.
Proceeds of the private placement will be used to fund drilling and other exploration activities on SLAM's gold, silver and base metal projects in Canada. The Company is currently drilling on both the Reserve Creek gold project and the Silverjack project. In accordance with applicable securities legislation, the FT Units are subject to a "hold period" of four months plus one day from the date of issuance of the FT Units. The financing and issuance of the FT Units are subject to regulatory approval.
"SLAM is encouraged by this continued support from MineralFields Group, especially in view of recent drilling results reported from Reserve Creek and Silverjack", said Mike Taylor, President and CEO, "This will bring our treasury over $5M and fund major drilling programs in 2011."

SLAM DRILLING MORE GOLD AT RESERVE CREEK - Visual Results Indicate Successful First Hole
Dec. 7, 2010 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
MIRAMICHI, NB, Dec. 7 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) ("SLAM") announces visible gold reported from the first diamond drill hole in a 2,000 m program at its wholly owned Reserve Creek project in the Fort Hope area of Ontario. Hole RS10-17, the first of a planned 12 holes intersected approximately 14 m of mineralized iron formation with quartz stringers from 21 m to 35 m. Specks of visible gold were noted at 31.5 m. This mineralized interval is 15 m east of a 13.41 m core interval grading 3.07 g/t gold in hole RS10-14 drilled in June 2010. SLAM reported bonanza grade gold mineralization with individual samples up to 274 g/t gold over 0.5 meters within a 16.85 m core interval grading 16.45 g/t gold from hole RS10-16 which was drilled beneath RS10-14 (news release 17 August 2010).
After hole RS10-17, the Company steepened the drill from 45 o to 60o for the second hole RS10-18 which places it directly beneath hole RS10-17. This is a similar pattern to previous holes RS10-14, 15 and 16 that produced bonanza grade results in SLAM's successful program of June 2010. The Company will continue with a similar series of holes stepping out laterally to potentially expand the bonanza gold zone along the 350 m strike length of mineralized, gold-bearing iron formation indicated by previous drilling. SLAM expects to complete the 2,000 m drilling program at Reserve Creek by year-end and, with $4M in the treasury, plans additional drilling in 2011.
Reserve Creek gold mineralization is hosted within iron formations and mafic volcanics similar to the rocks hosting the historic Pickle Crow gold mine near Pickle Lake, Ontario. These volcano-sedimentary sequences are part of the Uchi Subprovince, a huge system of greenstone belts extending from Lake Winnipeg to the Hudson Bay lowlands hosting the world-famous Red Lake gold mining camp as well as the Pickle Lake and Fort Hope gold areas in Ontario.
Michael R. Taylor, P.Geo. President and CEO of SLAM is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein. The core intervals described are drilled intervals. True thicknesses are unknown. Reserve Creek drilling activities will be done in consultation with Eabametoong First Nation ("EFN") in accordance with a recently signed Exploration Agreement. This Agreement calls for EFN and SLAM to work cooperatively to advance the gold potential of the Fort Hope area.
About SLAM: SLAM is a mineral resource company based in Miramichi, New Brunswick and is currently drilling for gold in Ontario and for silver-copper-lead-zinc in New Brunswick.

SLAM DRILLING WIDESPREAD SILVERJACK MINERALIZATION
Dec. 3, 2010 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
Now drilling new copper showing 1000 m south of Silverjack
MIRAMICHI, NB, Dec. 3 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) ("SLAM") announces it has drilled 14 holes to date for a total of 1620 m on its Silverjack property in New Brunswick. Thirteen of the holes intersected visible lead, zinc and/or copper mineralization over core intervals ranging from 0.3 m to 10.0 m at depths ranging from 30 to 90 metres. Assays are pending on 190 samples representing 170 m of mineralized core.
The most significant hole is SJ10-27 with visible copper-lead-zinc mineralization over a 10 m core length at a depth of 60 m hosted within altered limestone. This hole is 70 m northeast of hole SJ09-14 which intersected 653 g/t silver, 2.69% copper, 2.00% zinc and 2.34% lead over a core interval of 0.75 m within a 6.6 m interval grading 268.20 g/t silver, 1.27 % copper, 5.65% zinc and 4.53% lead as announced by press release 16 February 2010.
The drilling program has traced the mineralization 400 m northeast of the Silverjack zone with a lead-zinc bearing core interval of 4 m in hole SJ10-33. This hole is 200 m northeast of the 200 m northeast of the Knowles vein. Hole SJ10-34 drilled beneath the Knowles vein intersected a sequence of altered sediments similar to those hosting the Silverjack zone.
The drill is now testing a copper showing 1000 m south of the Silverjack zone in the same sequence of altered limestone and conglomerate. This new copper vein was discovered during the summer by SLAM's exploration team and excavated over a strike length of 80 m by trench TR10-03. Grab samples from the trench range up to 8.0 % copper, 86 g/t silver, 1480 ppm cobalt, 1.82 ppm indium and 222 ppb gold as reported by press release 28 October 2010.
The Company expects to complete this 3,000 m phase of drilling on or about 15 December, 2010. To support the drilling program, the Company has been awarded a provincial grant of $35,000 under the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program. Additional information about Silverjack can be viewed at: www.slamresources.com/projects/new-brunswick/silverjack.
The recently expanded Silverjack property comprises 160 wholly owned mineral claims plus 13 claims under option for a total of 3715 hectares. The property is 4 kilometres from the Belledune smelter and seaport and is adjacent to SLAM's Nash Creek property comprised of 406 mineral claims covering 6,496 hectares.
Derek F. Brown, P.Geo. and consultant to SLAM, is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein. The lengths tabulated above are measured core intervals in metres. The true thicknesses are unknown. Drill cores were delivered from the drill to a secure site for logging and sampling. Selected drill cores were split and one half sent to Activation Laboratories. Activation Labs analyzed the samples using code 8AR for silver, copper, zinc, lead and code Ultratrace 2 for multi-elements. The Company used blank and standard samples for quality assurance and control.
