Drilling to test high grade silver- copper-lead-zinc deposit
MIRAMICHI, NB, Nov. 2 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) ("SLAM") announces it is mobilizing a drill to its Silverjack property in New Brunswick and expects to start producing core by Wednesday. The primary target is the historic Silverjack deposit where SLAM previously drilled high grade core intervals ranging up to 653 g/t silver, 2.69% copper, 2.00% zinc and 2.34% lead over 0.75m. This high grade sample occurs 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 will expand southward to test for potential extensions along SLAM's airborne VTEM conductor extending from the Silverjack deposit. Targets include lead and zinc mineralization associated with this conductor and a copper-silver-cobalt vein uncovered by the trenching
program.
Mike Taylor states, "SLAM drilled spectacular silver intercepts at Silverjack last winter. Drilling will test for extensions as well as widespread lead-zinc mineralization and a new high grade copper-silver-cobalt vein discovered by the 2010 trenching program."
To support the drilling program, the Company has been awarded a provincial grant of $35,000 under the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program. The Silverjack property comprises 63 wholly owned mineral claims plus 13 claims under option for a total of 1290 hectares. This property is located 12 kilometres southwest of the Belledune smelter and seaport and adjacent to SLAM's Nash Creek property comprised of 406 mineral claims covering 6,496 hectares.
