Ramp completes fall exploration at Rottenstone SW

Executive Summary

• Ramp Metals Inc. completed its fall 2025 field program at the Rottenstone SW project in Saskatchewan, identifying new mineralized targets and completing geophysical surveys.
• The company reported negative drilling results from the remainder of the 2025 program at Ranger and Rogue, with no significant gold intercepts, though anomalous values up to 0.143 g/t Au were noted.
• Positive drilling results were confirmed at the Rush target, where mineralization was intersected in 8 out of 10 holes, supporting the interpretation of VMS-style mineralization along the full length of the anomaly.

Key Details

• Field Program Overview:
  • Conducted mapping and sampling over new and existing EM anomalies highlighted by HTDEM surveys.
  • Collected 213 rock samples and 343 soil samples.
  • Completed ground FLTEM and borehole EM surveys.
• New Targets Identified:
  • Ranger: A newly exposed NE-SW trending shear zone located ~325 m northeast of the Ranger-001 discovery hole. The zone is 50–70 m wide, covered by heavily oxidized red soils, and contains sulphides in altered migmatite/mafic volcanic outcrops. Quartz veins up to 1.5 m wide were observed. 30 soil and 29 rock samples taken.
  • Redridge: A newly identified 2.4 km long EM anomaly located ~5 km south of Ranger. Features heavily oxidized outcrop exposure, altered mafic volcanic outcrops, malachite staining, peacock weathering, and sulphides. A large shear zone runs NE-SW across the anomaly. 5 soil and 75 rock samples taken.
  • Rush: Ground FLTEM survey completed over the 1,200 m main anomaly. Three new satellite targets identified within 1 km. 276 soil and 18 rock samples taken over the main anomaly. Borehole EM completed on holes Rush-001, 003, 006, 007, 008, 009, and 010.
  • Rogue: Borehole EM conducted on Rogue-001 and 002. 100 m grid with 30 soil samples completed over the section outside 2024 coverage. Outcrop exposure is limited due to till/topsoil cover.
• 2025 Drill Results:
  • Ranger & Rogue: No significant gold values intercepted in remaining holes. Anomalous gold values up to 0.143 g/t Au over 1 m returned at Ranger.
  • Rush: Mineralization intersected in 8 out of 10 holes. First-pass drilling confirms VMS-style mineralization along the full length of the Rush anomaly.
• Permits and Future Plans:
  • Company has submitted an amendment to existing permits requesting a two-year extension, authorization for an additional 30,000 meters of drilling, and approval for a temporary work camp.
  • CEO Jordan Black stated the team will launch an "aggressive drilling program" once drill permits are secured.
• Financial Position:
  • Ramp Metals currently has more than $4.5 million in its treasury.
• QA/QC and Laboratory:
  • Samples analyzed by Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (BV) in Vancouver, B.C.
  • Drill core samples prepared using PRP70-250 package; analyzed via FA330 (Fire Assay with AAS finish) and MA300 (ICP-ES). Gold >10 ppm reassayed gravimetrically.
  • Rock samples analyzed via FA330 and MA300.
  • Soil samples prepared using SS80 package; analyzed via AQ251-plus-PGM (Ultratrace ICP-MS with Aqua Regia digestion).
  • QA/QC protocol includes certified reference and blank samples at a rate of 1:15 or better.

Notable Quotes

• "Ramp has completed another successful exploration program, identifying several promising targets. A newly exposed NE-SW trending shear zone at Ranger could provide fresh insights into the area's gold sources. Additionally, Redridge shows tremendous potential, with multiple samples displaying malachite staining and peacock weathering. Once drill permits are secured, our team will launch an aggressive drilling program," commented Jordan Black, chief executive officer of Ramp Metals.
