SLAM LAUNCHES GOLD CAMPAIGN
Slam Exploration Ltd. has launched its 2025 gold campaign on its Jake Lee and Love Lake gold projects. Trenching is in progress on the initial target, where Slam previously discovered quartz float grading up to 39.3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (1). Other priority targets include a quartz float discovery grading up to 302.5 g/t gold reported by previous workers (2) on the newly acquired Love Lake project.
The company has identified 34 priority gold targets based on exploration results reported by previous workers, as well as by Slam.
Highlights include:
- Visible gold in quartz boulders grading up to 302.5 g/t gold (2);
- One soil sample grading 10,000 parts per billion (ppb) gold previously reported by Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (3);
- 54 soil samples grading from 20 ppb to 256 ppb gold (3);
- 220 soil samples grading from 10 ppb to 19 ppb gold (3);
- Slam has detected similar gold-bearing soil samples up to 980 ppb gold (4) on its wholly owned Jake Lee claims;
- Slam has discovered gold boulders grading up to 39.3 g/t gold (1) on its wholly owned Jake Lee claims;
- These gold occurrences trace out a gold system in soils, boulders and outcrop that trends easterly for 13,000 metres (m) from the Edge 16 gold occurrence to the CT vein;
- The geological setting is similar to the nearby Clarence Stream deposit where Galway Metals Inc. currently has National Instrument 43-101-compliant indicated mineral resources of 922,000 ounces of gold and inferred mineral resources of 1,334,000 ounces of gold. It should be noted that the presence of gold in this nearby deposit may not apply to the Love Lake or the Jake Lee claims.
