Slam Exploration has reported the completion of two diamond drill holes at its Moose Lake Gold-Antimony-Silver Project in the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada.
The work follows recent trenching at the site that returned samples with elevated levels of antimony, gold and silver.

According to the company, the drill team mobilised to Moose Lake after activity at the Goodwin Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Project concluded.
The latest drilling campaign targeted the Moose Lake Fault Zone, which spans several known antimony occurrences and hosts mineralisation over approximately 4.7km.
The two NQ drill holes, designated ML26-01 and ML26-02, totalled 224.5m and were positioned beneath previously trenched areas containing antimony.
Drilling intersected faulted, brecciated, and altered rocks, with visible stibnite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite observed in core samples.
The company collected 145 samples for laboratory analysis, with results pending.
The drilling builds on a trenching and sampling programme carried out in 2026 across the Moose Lake and Skull occurrences, separated by about 3.5km along the fault zone.
Trenching at Skull produced samples with antimony grades up to 3.73%, along with 1.96g/t gold and 73.5g/t silver.
At Moose Lake, eight trench samples exceeded 0.5% antimony.
Slam stated that assay results from the trenching programme have pointed to the existence of metal zoning between antimony-rich and gold-silver-rich areas.
The company plans follow-up drilling to further investigate continuity and zoning, including possible extensions to the southeast, where additional antimony anomalies have been detected.
The 3,895ha Moose Lake Project was acquired under an option agreement signed in March 2026.
Slam president and CEO Jimmy Gravel said: “Our trenching crews have exposed antimony mineralization at two separate occurrences along the Moose Lake Fault Zone, both being hosted within a silicified breccia.
“At Moose Lake, we have antimony in trenches and outcrop over roughly 850m, and at Skull we see high-grade antimony sitting next to gold- and silver-rich quartz.
“With the Goodwin programme complete, the rig has moved onto a fault system with known mineral occurrences that has seen little historical exploration or drilling.”
