Diamond drilling completed: a total of 396m in 6 holes. Holes OH02-01, 02, 04 and 05 tested the O'Hearn zone over a strike length of 100 m. Each hole intersected an interval of massive sulphides with very high grades ranging up to 1.61% copper, 21.12% lead, 27.75% zinc, 280 g/t silver and 0.65 g/t gold.

Slam Exploration has completed a diamond drilling program comprising 396 m in six holes on its O'Hearn-Strachans property near Bathurst, New Brunswick.
Four holes testing the O'Hearn zone over a 100 m strike length all intersected massive sulphide intervals with very high grades of up to 1.61% Cu, 21.12% Pb, 27.75% Zn, 280 g/t Ag and 0.65 g/t Au gold over 1.3 m. This diamond drilling confirmed the company's trenching results as well as diamond drilling by previous workers and the company has proposed further work to continue testing the VMS deposit potential on the property.
