Ramp completes fall exploration at Rottenstone SW

Mr. Jordan Black reports RAMP METALS COMPLETES FALL EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERS NEW MINERALIZED TARGET Ramp Metals Inc. has completed its fall 2025 field program at its Rottenstone SW project in Saskatchewan. A mapping and sampling program was undertaken over the new and existing electromagnetic (EM) anomalies highlighted in the most recent HTDEM (helicopter-borne time-domain electromagnetic) geophysical survey. During the field program, a total of 213 rock samples and 343 soil samples were taken, and ground FLTEM (fixed-loop time-domain electromagnetic) and borehole EM (electromagnetic) surveys were completed. Key highlights Ramp Metals is pleased to share key highlights from its continuing exploration efforts and upcoming plans at its flagship Saskatchewan project: Ranger: newly exposed shear zone located approximately 325 metres (m) northeast of the Ranger-001 discovery hole; Redridge: newly identified 2.4-kilometre-long (km) EM anomaly located approximately five km south of Ranger; heavily oxidized with excellent outcrop exposure; Rush: ground FLTEM geophysical survey completed and three new satellite targets identified; Available capital: Ramp Metals currently has more than $4.5-million in its treasury. "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. Ranger As a result of the recently extinguished wildfires, teams were able to locate a newly exposed shear zone located approximately 325 m northeast of the Ranger-001 discovery hole. The northeast-southwest-striking shear zone ranges from 50 to 70 m wide and is covered by heavily oxidized soils with a deep red colour. A total of 30 soil and 29 rock samples were taken at Ranger. Sulphides were noted in strongly altered migmatite and mafic volcanic outcrops throughout the shear zone. Quartz veins were also found within the shear zone, with the largest being up to 1.5 m wide. Redridge Redridge is a newly identified 2.4 km long EM anomaly located approximately five km south of Ranger. The anomaly was called Redridge due to the presence of a highly oxidized outcrop ridge and red soils found over a portion of the anomaly within the shear zone. The fires at Redridge revealed extensive outcrop exposure, enabling teams to identify altered mafic volcanic outcrops and scattered subangular boulders across the anomaly. Malachite staining, peacock weathering and sulphides were observed in multiple samples. Additionally, a large shear zone was observed running northeast-southwest across the anomaly. A total of five soil and 75 rock samples were taken at Redridge during the field program. Rush A soil grid was completed over the entire Rush anomaly at 50 m spacing with teams prospecting while completing the soil grid. A total of 276 soil and 18 rock samples were taken over the main Rush anomaly. Additionally, three satellite anomalies located within one km of the main Rush anomaly were investigated. These anomalies show comparable rock types and alteration patterns to those observed at the surface of the primary Rush anomaly. Dias Geophysical completed a ground FLTEM geophysical survey to cover the 1,200 m long main Rush anomaly. Borehole EM was also completed on Rush-001, Rush-003, Rush-006, Rush-007, Rush-008, Rush-009 and Rush-010. Rogue Borehole EM was conducted on Rogue-001 and Rogue-002. In addition, a 100 m grid with 30 soil samples was completed over the section of the Rogue anomaly that remained outside the coverage of the 2024 program. Even with the recent fire in the area, outcrop exposure over Rogue is extremely limited or nonexistent as till and topsoil covers the top five to 10 m of the anomaly. Update on 2025 drill results Ranger and Rogue No significant gold values were intercepted in the remaining holes from the 2025 drill program at Ranger and Rogue. Drill holes returned anomalous gold values up to 0.143 gram per tonne (g/t) over one m at Ranger. Despite this, the company intends to continue gold exploration activities in the Ranger area, supported by promising results obtained from the recent 2025 fall field program. All drill collar locations from the winter 2025 drill program can be found in table 1. Rush Mineralization was intersected in eight out of 10 holes drilled at Rush during the drilling program. Table 2 features key intercepts from the remaining drill holes at Rush. First-pass drilling has shown that the interpreted VMS-style (volcanogenic massive sulphide) mineralization can be found along the full length of the Rush anomaly. The company believes that the relationship identified between the mineralized intercepts and the recently conducted FLTEM and BHEM surveys could inform and enhance targeting in future drilling programs. Permits and drilling As mentioned in the Aug. 5, 2025, new release, the company has submitted an amendment to its existing permits, requesting a two-year extension, authorization for an additional 30,000 metres of drilling and approval to establish a temporary work camp. The company will provide an update on the status of the amendment to the market once received. QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) and geochemical sampling procedure All drill core samples were logged, photographed and bagged on site. All rock and soil samples were taken, described, photographed and bagged on site. Control samples consisting of certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the company's QA/QC protocol at a rate of 1:15 or better. All samples were transported by Manitoulin Transport to Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (BV), an internationally recognized and ISO 17025:2017-accredited analytical services provider, at its Vancouver, B.C., laboratory. The company's QA/QC protocol is in addition to BV's QA/QC standard procedure. Drill core samples were prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where samples were weighed, dried and crushed to greater than 70 per cent passing a two-millimetre (mm) sieve, then pulverized to greater than 85 per cent passing 75 microns. Samples from Rush and Rogue were analyzed in accordance with BV's FA330 (Au (gold), Pt (platinum), Pd (palladium)) and MA300 packages, for both gold, platinum and palladium analysis by fire assay (30-gram (g) fire assay with AAS (atomic absorption spectroscopy) finish) and multielement ICP (inductively coupled plasma) analysis (0.25 g, multiacid and ICP-ES (inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy) analysis). Samples from Ranger were analyzed in accordance with BV's FA330-Au and MA300 packages, for gold by fire assay (30 g fire assay with AAS finish) and multielement ICP analysis (0.25 g, multiacid and ICP-ES analysis). Gold returning more than 10 parts per million (ppm) is automatically analyzed by gravimetric method in accordance with BV's standard of practice. Copper, zinc and lead overlimits were reassayed using BV's MA370 package, a multiacid digestion with ICP-ES finish. Rock and soil samples from this field program have been submitted to BV using the following packages and procedures. Rock samples are prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where samples are weighed, dried and crushed to greater than 70 per cent passing a two mm sieve, then pulverized to greater than 85 per cent passing 75 microns. Samples are then analyzed in accordance with BV's FA330 and MA300 packages, for both gold, platinum and palladium analysis by fire assay (30 g fire assay with AAS finish) and multielement ICP analysis (0.25 g, multiacid and ICP-ES analysis). Gold returning more than 10 ppm is automatically analyzed by gravimetric method in accordance with BV's standard of practice. Soil samples are prepared using BV's SS80 package, where samples are dried at 60 C and sieved to depletion to minus 180 microns (80 mesh). Samples are then analyzed in accordance with BV's AQ251-plus-PGM package, an ultratrace by ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) analysis where aqua regia digestion is used for low to ultralow determination on soils followed by a 37-element (including gold) ICP-MS with the platinum, palladium add on for analysis of a 15 g sample.
