Ramp Metals to begin fall exploration at Rottenstone SW

Executive Summary

• Ramp Metals Inc. is mobilizing field crews to begin a fall exploration program at the Rottenstone SW project starting Sept. 19, 2026.
• The program includes rock and soil sampling, ground geophysics, BHEM surveys, and preparation for an extensive drilling campaign pending permit approvals.
• Recent wildfire‑exposed bedrock and newly acquired airborne HTDEM data have identified five to seven high‑priority anomalies that will be targeted.

Key Details

• Field Mobilization: Teams will arrive on site Sept. 19; ground geophysics and BHEM surveys commence Sept. 21, conducted by Dias Geophysical (Saskatoon).
• Sampling Program: Rock and soil samples will be collected from both existing targets and newly identified anomalies highlighted by recent airborne HTDEM surveys.
• Geophysical Work: Completed Xcite HTDEM airborne survey (June 6, 2025) generated multiple high‑priority targets with signatures similar to known Rush, Ranger, and Rogue zones; ground magnetic and EM results now available for the remainder of the property.
• Target Prioritization: Five to seven new anomalies will be investigated alongside established gold‑copper zones; BHEM surveys planned at Rush anomaly and selected drill holes in Rogue and Ranger areas.
• Laboratory Update: Remaining samples, delayed by a backlog at BV’s Vancouver lab, have been transferred to the Timmins (ON) facility for accelerated processing; analysis is ongoing and results from 10 drill holes will be released when received.
• Permitting: An amendment submitted to existing permits seeks a two‑year extension, authorization for an additional 30,000 m of drilling, and approval for a temporary work camp; drilling program will commence once permits are granted.
• Qualified Person: Brett Williams, P.Geo., VP Operations & Senior Geologist (NI 43‑101 Qualified Person), has reviewed and approved the technical content.
