## Minestarters Atlas summary

SLAM Exploration has launched its 2026 diamond drilling campaign at the Jake Lee gold project in New Brunswick, supported by a new 7,000-meter drilling contract. The company is currently drilling hole JL26-01 to test the No. 1 gold vein, following historical high-grade channel samples of up to 40.5 g/t gold.

Reasoning: The company is launching a significant 7,000m drilling campaign and has signed a new contract, though the headline high-grade intercepts are historical channel samples rather than new drill assays.

- Positive factor: High-grade channel samples reported

- Positive factor: New 7,000m drilling contract signed

- Positive factor: Strategic proximity to Clarence Stream deposit

- Negative factor: Current drill results are historical re-releases

- Negative factor: New assay results for current drilling are still pending

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The project is positioned 25km from the Clarence Stream gold deposit.

Evidence · text

> The Jake Lee project is located 25 kilometers southeast of the Clarence Stream gold deposit

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release mentions that assay results were previously reported and refers to airborne surveys by previous workers.

Evidence · text

> The assay results discussed above were previously reported by the Company in News Releases

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
