SLAM ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Slam Exploration Ltd. has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to 13 million units issued at a price of nine cents per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1.17-million.

The offering will consist of:

• Up to 12.5 million flow-through CMETC units of the company issued at a price of nine cents per FT CMETC unit. Each FT CMETC unit is intended to be issued on the basis that the company will incur and renounce Canadian exploration expenses that are expected to qualify as flow-through mining expenditures that are critical mineral exploration expense eligible for purposes of the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit under the Income Tax Act (Canada);
• Up to 500,000 non-flow-through units of the company (each, an NFT unit) issued at a price of nine cents per NFT unit.

Each FT CMETC unit will comprise:

• One flow-through common share of the company issued as a flow-through share within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada);
• One-half of one common share purchase warrant, with two such half warrants being exercisable together as one whole common share purchase warrant.

Each NFT unit will comprise:

• One common share of the company;
• One warrant.

Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of 13 cents per common share for a period of two years following the closing date of the offering, subject to acceleration in certain events.

The gross proceeds received by the company from the issuance of the FT CMETC units will be used to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses (CEE) that are expected to qualify as flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and are intended to be spent on the company's Goodwin project. Such expenditures are expected to qualify as critical mineral exploration expense for purposes of the 30-per-cent Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit available under applicable law to eligible subscribers.

The company will renounce qualifying CEE to subscribers of FT CMETC units with an effective date no later than Dec. 31, 2026 (or such other date as may be permitted under applicable tax legislation).

The proceeds received by the company from the issuance of the NFT units, and any proceeds received on the exercise of warrants, will be used for general working capital purposes, corporate development activities and other business objectives as determined by management.

The offering is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and all other required regulatory approvals. All securities issued under the offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the offering in accordance with Canadian securities laws.

Finders' fees may be payable in connection with the offering in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Insiders of the company may participate in the offering. Any such participation will constitute a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The company expects to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 available under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, on the basis that the fair market value of the securities to be issued to related parties is not expected to exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.
