Slave Lake Zinc Confirms High-Grade District Potential at O'Connor Lake, Assays Return Up to 7.75% Lead and 6.62% Zinc

About this update from Slave Lake Zinc Corp

Vancouver, British Columbia - Slave Lake Zinc Corp. (CSE: SLZ) ('the Company' or 'SLZ') is pleased to announce encouraging geochemical results from its late 2025 geologic review at the O'Connor Lake exploration property in the South Slave area, Northwest Territories. The program has successfully validated the Company's regional exploration model, identifying high-grade mineralization in multiple new structures several kilometres distant from the historic Shaft Zone. Highlights of the 2025 Program High-Grade Mineralization Confirmed: Assays from recently identified vein systems returned grades of up to 7.75% Lead (Pb) and 6.62% Zinc (Zn). Widespread Mineralization: Results validate the presence of a district-scale hydrothermal system with multiple mineralized structures identified outside the known Shaft Zone deposit. Significant Byproduct Potential: Sampling revealed widespread copper values ranging from 0.17% to 0.92% Cu, along with elevated silver values (up to 19.5 g/t Ag), suggesting multi-element potential including precious metals. Geological Validation: Fieldwork confirms that the new vein systems share a similar orientation and appearance to the historic Shaft Zone, supporting the hypothesis of a large, deep-seated hydrothermal origin. Strategic Advancement: The program was successfully supported by the Northwest Territories Government's Mineral Incentive Program (MIP). Program Overview and Geological Context During late September and early October 2025, Slave Lake Zinc contracted Aurora Geosciences Ltd. of Yellowknife to conduct a short 10-day geological reconnaissance program of the O'Connor Lake property. Operating from a float aircraft-supported tent camp, the field crew concentrated on evaluating historic showings along structural corridors located several kilometres from the historic 'Shaft Zone.' The results from this program help transform the Company's regional strategy into reality. The similarities in orientation and mineralogical character between these new discoveries and the original Shaft Zone vein strongly validate the hypothesis that the O'Connor Lake property hosts a regional-scale mineralizing system. The multi-element nature of the assays-highlighted by high-grade lead and zinc paired with significant copper and silver mineralization-points to a complex and fertile hydrothermal system capable of hosting substantial tonnage.
