SLAM Receives Share and Cash Payments

SLAM Seeking Zinc-Lead-Copper-Silver VMS and Cobalt IOCG Deposits

TSXV: SXL 

MIRAMICHI, NB, June 6, 2018 /CNW/ - SLAM Exploration Ltd. ("SLAM" or the "Company" on TSXV: SXL) announces that it has received payment of 500,000 shares and $25,000 cash from Callinex Mines Inc. ("Callinex", TSXV: CNX) in accordance with the agreement allowing Callinex to purchase the Superjack and Nash base metal properties located in the Bathurst Mining Camp ("BMC") of New Brunswick, Canada, as announced on May 18, 2016.

The Portage Zinc-Lead-Copper-Silver Property:
The 2018 exploration program is in progress on the Portage zinc-lead-copper-silver property located in the BMC of New Brunswick. As previously announced, this program is intended to focus on the Portage volcanogenic massive sulphide occurrence discovered by previous workers in 1976. SLAM's prospecting team has found mineralized boulders that suggest potential for additional zinc-lead-silver-copper discoveries on the Portage property. Historic geochemical surveys suggest potential for cobalt as well.

The Portage property covers 5000 hectares comprising 4 mineral claims acquired through a prospector agreement and 7 mineral claims acquired by staking. The property is accessible by logging roads and located 1 km south and west of the Restigouche VMS deposit owned by Trevali Mining Corp. Trevali's Caribou mine is in continuous operation 25 km to the east.

Royalties Held By SLAM:

• The Company retains a 1% NSR on all future production from the Superjack and Nash Projects (the "Royalties"). The Royalties increase by 0.25% NSR if zinc prices exceed US $1.25 per pound and US $1.50 per pound respectively. Callinex may purchase one-half of the Royalties at any time for $500,000.
  
  
• SLAM retains a 1% NSR on any future mineral production from the Coulee property in the BMC of New Brunswick. Osisko Metals Incorporated may purchase the NSR at any time in return for a cash payment of $750,000.
  
  
• SLAM retains a 2% NSR royalty on future production from the Ramsay Cobalt Property. International Cobalt Corp. (Listed on CSE: CO) may buy down 1% NSR at any time for $1M.
