(\"SLAM\" or the \"Company\" on TSXV: SXL) is pleased to announce assay results ranging up to 8.64% zinc and 15.1% lead from a series of volcano-sedimentary boulders spread over 1,200 m along a prominent ridge 3.5 km south of the Portage zone.  Preliminary trenching has uncovered favourable volcano-sedimentary rock units and previous surveys indicate a number of untested airborne electromagnetic anomalies in the vicinity of this prospecting discovery. Assay results for 6 grab samples from selected boulders are shown in the following table:\n\n\n\n\nSample\n\n\nCopper %\n\n\nLead %\n\n\nZinc %\n\n\nSilver g/t\n\n\n\n1239023\n\n\n0.020\n\n\n0.395\n\n\n1.610\n\n\n2\n\n\n\n1239024\n\n\n0.039\n\n\n0.090\n\n\n8.640\n\n\n1\n\n\n\n1239025\n\n\n0.035\n\n\n0.077\n\n\n7.580\n\n\n1\n\n\n\n1239026\n\n\n0.076\n\n\n0.227\n\n\n5.900\n\n\n2\n\n\n\n1239027\n\n\n0.035\n\n\n15.100\n\n\n3.640\n\n\n185\n\n\n\n1239028\n\n\n0.177\n\n\n0.178\n\n\n0.056\n\n\n3\n\n \n\nSLAM dug several preliminary trenches in the vicinity of the mineralized boulders.  Trenching was hampered by fairly deep overburden but did uncover volcanic and sedimentary strata that are the likely source of the mineralized float.  Similar Tetagouche Group rocks host SLAM's Portage zone as well as Trevali's Restigouche deposit both located nearby in the northwest...
