SLAM Displaying At New York Conference - Silverjack Deposit Highlighted At
Mining World Resource Conference

MIRAMICHI, NB, April 23 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:SXL) ("SLAM") announces it will host a display booth at the Mining World Resource Conference at the Sheraton New York hotel on April 26 and 27. The display will provide an overview of SLAM's portfolio of gold properties in Ontario and silver, copper, lead and zinc properties in New Brunswick with particular emphasis on the new Silverjack deposit. SLAM drilled high grade core intervals in its initial program at Silverjack with up to 653 g/t (19.05 oz/ton) silver, 2.69% copper, 11.9% zinc and 9.8% lead as reported 16 February 2010.

Silverjack is located 12 kilometres southwest of the Belledune smelter/seaport and adjacent to SLAM's Nash Creek property which already contains a 43-101 compliant zinc-lead-silver deposit. SLAM has committed the majority of its 2010 exploration budget to the Silverjack and Nash Creek deposits and has recently announced drilling plans for Silverjack.

The Silverjack-Nash Creek area is about 80 km from the BMS No. 12 mine, a world-class producer of zinc, lead and silver operated by Xstrata. In addition to its rich mineral endowment and exploration potential, New Brunswick is a very attractive opportunity for mineral investment and development. New Brunswick ranks second, behind Quebec as the world's most attractive jurisdiction for mineral exploration and development according to the annual Survey of Mining Companies 2009/2010, recently released by the Fraser Institute.
