# SLAM Exploration Intersects New Discovery of Massive Sulphide Mineralization at Goodwin Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/slam-exploration-intersects-new-discovery-of-massive-sulphide-mineralization-at--7d0e6ff9-26e6-40ab-b0fa-00097aad2227 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SXL/news/4750043688610714/slam-exploration-intersects-new-discovery-of-massive-sulphide-mineralization-at- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-08-27T11:23:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: SLAM Exploration Ltd. - Ticker: SXL - Exchange: TSX - Region: New Brunswick - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Nickel, Cobalt - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-13 02:21:05 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary SLAM Exploration has reported a new discovery of massive sulphide mineralization at the Goodwin copper-nickel-cobalt project in New Brunswick. Three diamond drill holes \(GW26-36, GW26-37, and GW26-38\) intersected sulphide intervals, with significant visual observations of pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite mineralization. Assay results are pending. Reasoning: The release reports a new discovery of massive sulphide mineralization, but all results are currently based on visual logging and lack assay confirmation. - Positive factor: New discovery of massive sulphide mineralization - Positive factor: Sustained mineralized zone in GW26-36 - Positive factor: Multiple discrete massive sulphide intervals - Negative factor: No assay results yet to confirm grades - Negative factor: Visual observations only - Negative factor: True widths not determined Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: While the release mentions QA/QC procedures, it does not provide specific assay results to verify the quality of the current discovery intercepts. Evidence · text > Mineralization described in this release is based on visual observations made during core logging and has not been confirmed by assay. **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The release explicitly states that true widths have not yet been determined. Evidence · text > True widths have not yet been determined. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (5) ### GW26-36 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/slam-exploration-intersects-new-discovery-of-massive-sulphide-mineralization-at--7d0e6ff9-26e6-40ab-b0fa-00097aad2227#fact-drill-facts-0) Goodwin · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: GW26-36 - Project: Goodwin - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_nb - Reported Region: canada\_nb - Ticker: SXL #### Geometry - Intercept: 67.4 m - From: 124.4 m - To: 191.8 m - Hole Depth: 212 m - Intercept Depth: 124.4 m #### Classification - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: GW26-36:124.4-191.8 - Mining Method: unknown #### QA/QC - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
