SXL · Price

Executive Summary

  • Slam Exploration Ltd. has launched an 852-kilometre VTEM airborne electromagnetic survey over its Goodwin copper-nickel-cobalt project in New Brunswick, aimed at identifying deep-seated magmatic chambers and extensions of known zones.
  • The company reported final assay results from its 2025 drilling campaign, which consisted of 10 holes totaling 2,944 metres, following significant 2024 results that included a 64.90-metre interval grading 2.19% CuEq.
  • The Board approved the grant of 3.1 million stock options at $0.08 per share, while the company provided updates on the Jake Lee gold project (pending soil assays, strong channel sample results) and historic Menneval results.
