SLAM is looking for cobalt as well as zinc-copper-lead-silver deposits in the Bathurst mp (“BMC”) where Trevali Mining Corp. operates the Caribou zinc mine in New Brunswick. SLAM’s flagship in this 39,000 hectare mineral portfolio is the Portage project.
SLAM acquired a new cobalt claim adjacent to its Portage VMS zinc project. The new claim is prospective for cobalt as well as zinc-lead-copper-silver. Anomalous cobalt levels range up to 499 ppm in stream sediments collected by government workers from the new claim and part of SLAM’s adjacent Portage property.
Ramsay cobalt: Previous workers drilled 9 diamond drill holes. Hole M04-04 cut a 0.8m core interval grading 0.96% cobalt within a 4.8m interval grading 0.35% cobalt. Hole M84-05 collared 50 m southeast intersected 2.0 m grading 0.81% cobalt within a 6.1 m interval grading 0.31% cobalt. The Ramsay cobalt claims cover 2500 hectares located on highway 180 and contiguous to our Portage zinc property. Click BMC for details.
Portage zone: Historic core intervals include 25.30m grading 3.27% zinc 0.52% lead 0.30% copper with 3.35m grading 5.81% zinc 2.97% lead 0.61% copper. The volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineral occurrence 25 km west of Trevali’s Caribou mine.

Osisko Metals may purchase the NSR at any time in return for a cash payment of $750,000. The Coulee comprises 1 claim covering 372 hectares located 6km southwest of the former producing Brunswick No. 6 mine and adjacent to the Flat Landing Brook zinc-lead-silver prospect owned by Osisko Metals.
The Company has acquired a portfolio of mineral claims in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”), a major zinc producing area inf New Brunswick, Canada. The Company now owns 12 projects covering 29,000 hectares of prospective land. SLAM selected these properties for acquisition based on a database that covers the entire BMC district.
The Menneval Gold project was the site of a new gold discovery made by SLAM’s advance scout team in 2012. The initial discovery of the Maisie vein yielded a bonanza grade chip sample grading 1100 g/t gold over 1.1 m from a trench in 2012. Since then we have drilled 64 holes with grades up to 121 g/t gold over 0.31 m. The deepest intercept to date is a core interval grading 44.53 g/t gold over 0.85m at a depth of 30 min hole MG13-63. The deposit is open at depth.
