MIRAMICHI, NEW BRUNSWICK--(Marketwire - April 24, 2008) - SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SXL) ("SLAM") announces drilling results from 28 additional holes which continued to test the Hickey Zone at its wholly owned Nash Creek Project in New Brunswick.

Nineteen holes encountered sulphide mineralization from 2.0 to 44.11 metres thick at depths between 3.5 and 80.6 metres. The intersections range. The weighted average grades from 1.10% to 3.92% zinc as shown in the table below. These near-surface results continue to build tonnage with open pit potential thus expanding the deposit closer to SLAM's 20M tonne target at Nash Creek.

SLAM has drilled 156 holes since the resource estimation announced July 2007. Assay results have been received for 117 holes. Ninety of these have encountered significant intercepts of mineralization with assays pending on an additional 39 holes. The drilling program has expanded the Nash Creek deposit to a strike length of 1400 metres and width varying from 100 to 300 metres. Thickness ranges from 3 to 45 metres with flat-lying mineralization occurring at depths from surface to 130 metres. After completion of hole NC08-187 in April, drilling was shut down for a period of 1 month due to spring weather conditions. Drilling will resume in May. SLAM management is planning an independent resource estimate along with a scoping study in 2008 for Nash Creek.
