SLAM Exploration prospecting high grade silver mineralization
Historic silver grades up to 1565.14 g/tonne in diamond drill holes.
MIRAMICHI, NB,
Five samples of mineralized rubble collected from an old trench ranged from 9 to 315 g/t silver, 0.31 to 1.51 % copper, 1.02 to 2.91 % lead and 1.18 to 5.46 % zinc. This trench appears to be the site from which a bulk sample that was extracted in 1975 returned 51.05 oz/ton (1750.3 g/t) silver with 14.3% lead and 10.2% copper as reported by press release
Research indicates that Dome Mines Ltd. drilled 23 holes on this property over a strike-length of 2 km in 1960. According to Dome, 5 holes were drilled beneath or near the site of the above noted trench with mixed results. Nine holes were drilled on soil geochemical and geophysical anomalies also with mixed results. An additional 9 holes were drilled in the area of a soil anomaly located 200m west of the trench.
Significant silver and base metal values were reported from 3 of the nine holes as summarized in the following table. These represent a zone of high grade silver-copper-lead-zinc mineralization detected over a strike-length of 50 metres and open along strike to the northeast and southwest.

* The core distances and lengths and the silver g/tonne are calculated from Dome's original data using standard metric conversion factors. The core lengths are drilled intervals. True widths are not known. The drill sites have not been located in the field.
SLAM is planning a trenching program to test these high-grade silver and base metal targets over the next few weeks. A number of other targets will be tested including two sites of anomalous rare earth elements reported by press release
SLAM is exploring 60 claims covering 1023 hectares in the Mitchell area adjacent to SLAM's extensive Nash Creek property and 12 kilometres southwest of the Belledune smelter and seaport. The Mitchell claims include 57 wholly owned mineral claims formerly considered part of the Nash Creek claim group along with 3 Silverjack claims under option.
