This portfolio is built around the\nGoodwin Copper Nickel Cobalt project in the Bathurst Mining Camp (\"BMC\") of\nNew Brunswick. The Company drilled 10 holes in the 2025 diamond drilling\ncampaign on the Goodwin copper-nickel-cobalt project. These followed\nsignificant copper, nickel and cobalt intercepts from 15 diamond drill holes\nreported by the Company in 2024. These include a 64.90 meter core interval\ngrading 0.73% copper, 0.64% nickel and 0.05% cobalt for 2.19% copper\nequivalent (\"Cu-Eq\"), including 1.32% copper, 1.11% nickel and 0.09% cobalt\nfor 3.84% Cu-Eq over a 31.20 meter core interval from hole GW24-02 as reported\nin a news release August 7, 2024 (https://pr.report/m38k). Significant gold\nvalues were also reported with up to 3.31 grams per tonne over 0.5m in hole\nGW24-01.\n\nThe Company discovered a new gold vein at Jake Lee in 2025 and recently\nreported up to 40.5 g/t gold and 63.30 g/t silver from channel samples cut\nfrom the vein. A 200 meter by 400 meter soil anomaly with gold grading up to\n0.98 g/t gold lies adjacent to the east and north of the new gold vein. The\nJake Lee claims are located 25 kilometers southeast of the Clarence Stream\ngold deposit where Galway Metals Inc. Clarence Stream is host to a 12.4M tonne\nindicated resource of 922,000 ounces at a grade of 2.31 g/t gold plus an\ninferred resource of 16.1m tonnes with 1,334,000 ounces at a grade of 2.60 g/t\ngold. (Reference: \"Updated Mineral Resource Statement, Clarence Stream\nDeposits, New Brunswick, Canada, by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd., March 31,\n2022\").\n\nThe Company reported an expansion of the soil coverage on the Menneval gold\nproject on January 7, 2026. A gold soil anomaly extends approximately 3,000\nmeters by 2,500 meters with gold-bearing samples ranging from 0.005 grams per\ntonne (\"g/t\") to 0.683 g/t gold. The results indicate potential extensions to\na swarm of quartz veins previously discovered by SLAM. The Company previously\nreported core intervals include 3,955 g/t gold over 0.1m from the No. 18 vein\n(December 03, 2020 (https://pr.report/m38t)), as well as 162.5 g/t gold over\n0.2 m (December 13, 2021 (https://pr.report/m38u)) and 56.90 g/t gold over 0.5\nm (November 22, 2022 (https://pr.report/m38v)) from the Maisie vein.\n\nThe Company is a project generator and expects to receive significant cash and\nshare payments in 2026. SLAM received 1,200,000 shares plus cash from Nine\nMile Metals Inc. (NINE) in 2025 pursuant to the Wedge project agreement. Also\nin 2025, the Company received a cash payment of $60,000 as well as 180,000\nshares of a private company pursuant to the Ramsay gold agreement. The Company\nholds NSR royalties and expects to receive additional cash and share payments\non the Wedge copper zinc project and on the Ramsay gold project.\n\nTo view SLAM's corporate presentation, click SXL-Presentation\n(https://pr.report/m38o).
