Gladiator Intersects 22m @ 4.24% Cu + 2.16 g/t Au within 36m @ 2.68% Cu + 1.35 g/t Au Expanding High Grade Mineralisation at Cub East Discovery

Gladiator expands the Cub East strike to 900m with high-grade copper-gold intercepts, targeting a maiden resource at Cowley in 2026.

Executive Summary
  • Gladiator Metals reported step-out drill results at the Cub East prospect, intersecting 22m @ 4.24% Cu and 2.16 g/t Au within a broader 36m @ 2.68% Cu interval.
  • The results confirm high-grade mineralization continuity extending over 80 metres north of previous sections, with the system remaining open in all directions.
  • A 3D IP survey indicates a potential 900-metre strike extent, significantly expanding the known geophysical footprint beyond the current drill grid.
  • The company outlined a 45,000-metre drilling program for 2026, including 8,000 metres of Class 3 resource delineation at Cowley to target a maiden NI 43-101 inferred resource later this year.
  • Drilling at Cub East has progressed from a maiden discovery in January 2026 to a robust, multi-directional system with exceptional grades.
Material Impact
  • The June 4, 2026 update represents incremental exploration progress rather than a paradigm-shifting event. It validates the company's geophysical targeting model and confirms the scale of the Cub East discovery.
  • While the grades are exceptional, the market has already priced in the high-grade nature of the Whitehorse Copper Belt through the stock's ~315% run-up from its 52-week low.
  • The news aligns with the previously announced 2026 drilling plan and does not introduce new capital requirements or regulatory milestones.
  • Consequently, the impact is categorized as Routine - Positive. It sustains momentum but lacks the unexpected catalyst required for a Material rating.
