Visible Gold In Hole MG1221
MIRAMICHI, NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec 28, 2012 (Menafn - MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --SLAM Exploration Ltd. ("SLAM") ispleased to report preliminary results for 9 additional diamond drillholes completed at its wholly owned Menneval gold project in NewBrunswick. Holes MG1215 to MG1223 all intersected a mineralizedquartz vein at hole depths ranging from 6 m to 29 m. The drilledthickness of the vein intercepts range from 0.1 m to 0.5 m.
Assays are pending on holes MG1201 to MG1223. A small fleck ofvisible gold occurs in a 0.2 m core interval of quartz veinintersected at a depth of 15.9 m in hole MG1221. This gold-bearinghole is located 250 m west of hole MG1201 which also contains visiblegold close to the original discovery site of the Maisie zone. Thecollar data is summarized in the following table:

After MG1223, the drilled moved 200 m east to line 4360E for holeMG1224, a 20 m step-out designed to test the zone between MG1206 andMG1201. The 50 hole drilling program continues to trace the MaisieZone on a pattern designed to delineate a potential near surfaceresource that would be amenable to open pit mining methods. A 40 x 20m grid has been established to provide spatial control for thedrilling sites. The target vein and control grid are shown on a mapat http://www.slamresources.com/projects/new-brunswick/menneval. TheCompany reported numerous sites of visible gold and bonanza gradeassays uncovered as it traced the vein system over a 700 m strikelength.
