Drilling In Progress On Zinc-Lead-Silver Deposit

MIRAMICHI, NB , Feb. 11, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (SXL.V) (the "Company") announces it has mobilized a rig to commence diamond drilling on its wholly-owned Superjack zinc-lead-silver deposit in the Bathurst Mining Camp ("BMC") of New Brunswick.  The primary target is a deep massive sulphide zone discovered by SLAM in its 2011-2012 program.  This deep zone was drilled in 2011 by 2 holes spaced 100 m apart with results as follows:

NP15-86, the first 2015 drill hole, is designed to test the lateral extent of mineralization 50 m west of the high grade NP11-39 interval listed in the table above.  The hole is currently at a depth of 23 m, with the expected target at 510 m.  This target is well below the limits identified by previous workers and has potential for significant new extensions at depth.

About Superjack:

The Superjack project is comprised of 2 claims covering 1680 hectares of highly prospective volcano-sedimentary strata located 15 km west of Glencore's Brunswick No. 12 mine which processed 150 million tonnes prior to closure in 2013.  Although SLAM acquired the property by staking in 2002, exploration dates back to 1957 when previous workers discovered 3 zones then known as Nepisiguit A, B and C zones.  The deepest intercept by previous workers was drilled in 1994 at a vertical depth of 230 m in Zone A.

The deepest intercept by SLAM comprises a 4.1 metre core interval of massive sulphides grading 10.11% zinc, 1.24% lead, 0.30% copper and 32.84 g/t silver at a vertical depth of 460 m in hole NP11-39. This intercept is 230 m below any previous drilling intercepts and is open laterally and at depth.  Superjack Zone A is a VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) deposit similar to large deposits in this area including Brunswick No. 12.
