SLAM Acquires Gold Claim With Float Up To 302.5 g/t Gold
MIRAMICHI, NB / ACCESS Newswire / March 27, 2025 / SLAM Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:SXL) ('SLAM' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement to acquire mineral rights for the 2640 hectare Love Lake gold claim where previous workers reported quartz float grading up to 302.5 grams per tonne ('g/t) gold. The claim is adjacent to Slam's wholly-owned Jake Lee gold project where Slam has discovered quartz float grading up to 39.3 g/t gold and gold-bearing soil samples up to 980 ppb gold.
Highlights of exploration results reported by previous workers and by Slam are as follows:
Visible gold in quartz boulders grading up to 302.5 g/t gold (Reference 1 below);
One soil sample grading 10,000 parts per billion ('ppb') gold previously reported by Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (Reference 2) and shown below on Figure 1;
Fifty four (54) soil samples grading from 20 ppb to 256 ppb gold (Reference 2);
Two hundred and twenty (220) soil samples grading from 10 ppb to 19 ppb gold (Reference 2);
Slam has detected similar gold bearing soil samples up to 980 ppb gold (Reference 3) on its wholly owned Jake Lee claims as shown on Figures 1 and 2;
Slam has discovered gold boulders grading up to 39.3 g/t gold (Reference 3) on its wholly owned Jake Lee claims as shown on Figure 2;
These gold occurrences trace out a gold system in soils, boulders and outcrop that trends easterly for 13,000 meters from the Edge 16 gold occurrence on Figure 1 to the CT vein on Figure 2. The pattern of soil anomalies suggests the gold may be associated with a set of northwest-trending structures.
The geological setting is similar to the nearby Clarence Stream Deposit where Galway Metals Inc. currently has NI43-101 compliant Indicated Mineral Resources of 922,000 ounces of gold and Inferred Mineral Resources of 1,334,000 ounces of gold. It should be noted that the presence of gold in this deposit nearby may not apply to the Love Lake or the Jake Lee claims.

Slam intends to commence the 2025 exploration program at Jake lee and Love Lake as soon as to weather conditions permit. The program will begin with prospecting on multiple gold soil targets grading up to 10,000 ppb on the Love Lake claim and up to 980 ppb gold on the Jake Lee claims. The main priorities are to find the bedrock source of the 302.5 g/t gold float on the Love Lake claim and the source of the 39.3 g/t float on the Jake Lee claim.

The Love Lake Agreement: The Company has signed a binding Term Sheet with Grindstone Resources Inc. ('Grindstone') (the 'Term Sheet') giving the Company the option to acquire an 80% interest in the Love Lake Property (the 'Property') in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada (the 'Project');
To acquire 80% interest, the Company has agreed to the following work expenditures and cash payments to Grindstone:
*Third year expenditures to include a 1,500 meter drilling program.
**Fourth year expenditures to include a 2,000 meter drilling program.
Upon completion of the work expenditures and cash payments, the Company will operate the Love Lake Property as an 80/20 joint venture (the 'JV') with Grindstone and both parties are to fund exploration and development as to 80% and 20% participation. If either party's interest falls below 10%, the interest will convert to a 2% NSR buyable down to 1% for 500oz gold or cash equivalent.

Modivcare Enters into Comprehensive Restructuring Agreement to Strengthen its Future, Reduce Debt and Inject Capital
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modivcare Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Modivcare') (Nasdaq: MODV), a technology-enabled healthcare services company providing a platform of integrated supportive care solutions focused on improving health outcomes, today announced that it has taken necessary and decisive action intended to strengthen its financial foundation while continuing to provide access to care, reduce costs, and improve outcomes for clients and members nationwide. Modivcare has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to implement a comprehensive restructuring transaction with the support of a supermajority of its key stakeholders. Through this process, Modivcare intends to build a stronger, sustainable organization, positioned for growth and well-equipped to meet the critical needs of members across its non-emergency medical transportation, personal care services and remote patient monitoring service lines. 'Modivcare sits at the center of the preventive healthcare ecosystem,' said Heath Sampson, Chief Executive Officer and President of Modivcare. 'This recapitalization strengthens our balance sheet and allows Modivcare to accelerate our investment in innovation by combining technology and data with high-touch member engagement. As the connector to care, our seamlessly connected platform improves access, quality and cost for payors, providers and facilities, while positioning us to lead the future of coordinated care.' More than 90% of First Lien Lenders and more than 70% of Second Lien Lenders have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement ('RSA') with the Company. Those lenders have committed to support the Company throughout this process and have agreed to provide $100 million in 'debtor-in-possession' ('DIP') financing to finance the restructuring process and to support ongoing operations during this expedited bankruptcy process. Upon the closing of the DIP loan, Modivcare will have liquidity in excess of $100 million. The restructuring will reduce the Company's total outstanding funded debt obligations by approximately $1.1 billion (which is more than 85% of its outstanding funded debt obligations) and will meaningfully reduce the Company's annual cash interest and transition ownership to a group of seasoned and well-funded investors who are committed to Modivcare's success. All of Modivcare's service lines will continue to operate in the ordinary course, and we expect no interruption or change in access to care and a continued focus on operational excellence. Modivcare intends to close this transaction quickly by exiting the restructuring process early in the fourth quarter of 2025. Modivcare remains committed to providing excellent service to clients and their members. The Company has filed customary motions that, once approved, will allow Modivcare to meet obligations to clients and critical vendors, including transportation providers, and pay employee wages and benefits as usual.

Special Stock Dividend Argo has completed the distribution of its Series A Preferred Shares under its previously announced Stock Dividend today (the "Distribution Date"). Pursuant to the Stock Dividend, all of the Company's holders of common shares (the "Common Shares") were entitled to receive one Series A Preferred Share for each Common Share held. The Common Shares started trading on a "due-bill" basis at the opening of trading on August 13, 2025 (the "Record Date") and will commence trading on an "ex-distribution" basis (i.e., without the entitlement to receive the Stock Dividend) at the opening of markets on August 21, 2025, the first trading day following the Distribution Date. A due bill attached to each Common Share between the opening of markets on the Record Date and the close of markets on the Distribution Date (the "Due Bill Period"). During the Due Bill Period, any seller of Common Shares was deemed to sell and assign the right to the Stock Dividend to the purchaser of such Common Shares. Accounts for registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders (i.e., those who hold Common Shares through an intermediary) have been, or will be, credited with the Series A Preferred Shares on or about the Distribution Date. The complete rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Series A Preferred Shares are set out in the articles of amendment of the Company, which are available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile on Conversion of the Debentures and Early Warning Reporting Disclosure As previously announced by Argo on February 8, 2024, the Company issued the Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $3,536,400 through a private placement.
