GLAD · Price

Executive Summary

  • Gladiator Metals released assay results from 40 holes (8,121 m) of its Phase 2 drill program at the Cowley Park prospect, extending high‑grade copper skarn mineralisation >70 m down‑dip and revealing a new ~180 m wide zone of disseminated bornite–chalcopyrite hosted in granodiorite.
  • Multiple significant intercepts were reported, including 6 m @ 5.36 % Cu (CPG‑094) and several >2 % Cu intervals with accompanying Au, Ag, and Mo credits, underscoring the prospect’s potential for a high‑grade copper resource.
  • The results will be incorporated into a maiden NI 43‑101 compliant resource estimate slated for Q2 2026; drilling continues with two rigs on‑site and additional rigs targeting regional targets.

Key Details

  • Program scope: 40 drill holes, total depth 8,121 m (Phase 2).
  • New mineralisation style: ~180 m wide disseminated bornite/chalcopyrite zone in altered granodiorite (first observed in hole CPG‑092).

Highlight intercepts

  • CPG‑092 – 55 m @ 0.70 % Cu from 176 m; includes 21.9 m @ 1.27 % Cu, 0.02 g/t Au, 5.27 g/t Ag, 300 ppm Mo.
  • CPG‑094 – 70.5 m @ 1.13 % Cu from 95.5 m; includes:
  • 14.0 m @ 2.05 % Cu, 0.12 g/t Au, 10.61 g/t Ag, 757 ppm Mo
  • 20.0 m @ 2.15 % Cu, 0.04 g/t Au, 4.80 g/t Ag, 357 ppm Mo

  • 6.0 m @ 5.36 % Cu, 0.04 g/t Au, 7.13 g/t Ag, 33 ppm Mo (peak grade)

  • CPG‑074D2 – 12.35 m @ 2.66 % Cu from 50 m, 0.12 g/t Au, 20.75 g/t Ag, 46 ppm Mo.

  • CPG‑080D2 – 14.5 m @ 1.01 % Cu (31.5–46 m) and 12 m @ 0.67 % Cu (64–76 m).
  • CPG‑082D1 – 51.8 m @ 0.80 % Cu from 9 m; includes 25.3 m @ 1.24 % Cu, 0.13 g/t Au, 7.62 g/t Ag, 651 ppm Mo.
  • CPG‑090 – 29.5 m @ 1.21 % Cu from 94.5 m, 0.15 g/t Au, 8.46 g/t Ag, 425 ppm Mo.

Additional notable intercepts: CPG‑091 (multiple intervals up to 14 m @ 1.30 % Cu), CPG‑080D3, CPG‑080D4, CPG‑084D1, CPG‑087D2, etc., all showing consistent copper‑skarn mineralisation with Au/Ag/Mo credits.

  • Drilling status: Two rigs currently operating at Cowley Park; a third rig exploring regional targets (Valerie and Little Chief). Follow‑up holes (e.g., CPG‑095) planned for deeper down‑dip testing and 150 m lateral step‑outs.

  • Future work: Results will feed into the maiden resource estimate targeted for Q2 2026; continued drilling aims to define resource boundaries, test depth extensions, and evaluate co‑product potential (Mo, Au, Ag).

Notable Quotes

“Gladiator's first drillhole targeting mineralisation below 200 m at Cowley Park highlights the significant upside potential of the deposit… a new style of mineralisation was observed with disseminated bornite over more than 180 m…” – Jason Bontempo, President & CEO

Materiality: Material – Positive (significant drill intercepts that materially advance the prospect toward a high‑grade copper resource and impact future valuation).
