SLAM Drills 121 g/t Gold Over 0.31 m

MIRAMICHI, NEW BRUNSWICK -- (Marketwire) -- 03/19/13 -- SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SXL)(OTCBB: SLMF) ("SLAM") is pleased to announce diamond drilling results grading up to 121.00 g/t gold over 0.31 m from the 17 hole Phase II drilling program recently completed at its wholly owned Menneval gold project in New Brunswick. This bonanza grade interval occurs in hole MG1363 within a 0.85 m interval grading 44.53 g/t gold with visible gold reported.

SLAM is very encouraged by these results. The Maisie vein extends over a strike length of 700 m and to a depth of 45 m. Drilling indicates that the bonanza shoots identified in surface trenches can be followed at depth. Results are pending from metallurgical testing of a 27 kg bulk sample by RPC of Fredericton, NB.

According to SLAM president Mike Taylor, "Even though the nugget effect makes it difficult to represent this type of bonanza vein by drilling, this project continues to exceed our expectations. The next step is to initiate a permitting and consultation process in preparation for a potential open pit mine. Like many gold mines in the past, this is expected to start out as a glory-hole type of operation."

The Phase II program comprised 17 holes numbered Mg1348 to MG1364 for a total of 582 m. This program follows the successful 47 hole Phase I program drilled in December, 2012. To view maps and exploration results to date you are invited to the SXL website at http://www.slamresources.com/projects/new-brunswick/menneval. Photos of drill core with visible gold can be viewed at http://www.slamresources.com/core-shack/. Selected results from the Phase II program along with the 8 hole Zone 9 program are summarized in the table below.

The intervals are core lengths. True thickness may vary.
Holes MG1348 to MG1359 were previously reported.

After the Maisie Zone, the Company completed an 8 hole drilling program for a total of 640 m on Zone 9, a swarm of quartz veins located 700 m south of the Maisie zone on SLAM's adjacent Border project. Results from holes BG1301 to BG1308 are included in the table above. Multiple vein intercepts grade up to 1.81 g/t gold over 0.4 m to depths of 55 m on Zone 9. This is a significant extension to the gold-bearing system on SLAM's wholly owned Menneval properties.

Qualifying Statements: Doug Clark, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical information contained herein. Drill cores were delivered from the drill to a secure site for logging and sampling. Selected samples were sawn and sent to Activation Labs in Ancaster, Ontario for analysis by fire assay with AA finish. This is followed by fire assay with gravimetric finish for gold values above 3.0 g/t. The Company uses blank and standard samples for quality assurance and control.

About The Menneval Project: SLAM holds 100% interest in 8 contiguous claims including 7 claims in the Menneval project and 1 claim referred to as the Border project that together cover 30,820 hectares all acquired by map-staking near Menneval in northwest New Brunswick.
