Ramp Metals Intersects 4.0 m of 4.84% CuEq within 28.23 m of 0.86% CuEq in Rush-019, Confirms a Second Mineralized Zone, and Expands the Rush System
Ramp’s Rush-019 hole hit the highest zinc grade to date in a new 250m strike Deep Zone discovery.
Ramp Metals Inc. (RAMP) has released final winter 2026 drill results from five holes at its Rottenstone SW VMS project in Saskatchewan. The company reported significant intercepts from the Rush program, highlighting a broad zone of mineralization that now extends over a confirmed strike length of approximately 250 meters. The mineralization remains open along strike and at depth, with the discovery of a second "Deep Zone" located roughly 70 meters west of the Main Zone.
Key intercepts from the five holes include:
- Rush-019: 4.0 m of 4.84% CuEq (1.18% Cu, 13.28% Zn, 9.7 g/t Ag) from 139-143 m, within a broader interval of 28.23 m at 0.86% CuEq (0.37% Cu, 1.34% Zn, 6.48 g/t Ag) from 123-151.23 m; also 1 m at 1.90% CuEq from 81-82 m.
- Rush-018: 22.5 m at 0.93% CuEq, including 2.0 m at 3.80% CuEq, and a separate 1.5 m at 3.16% CuEq.
- Rush-017: 3.35 m at 4.40% CuEq.
- Rush-016: 2.4 m at 2.74% CuEq, plus a new Deep Zone hit of 0.6 m at 7.77% CuEq (3.93% Cu, 12.17% Zn, 32.20 g/t Ag).
- Rush-014: 2.7 m at 2.76% CuEq in the Deep Zone.
In addition to the drilling updates, the company announced a small debt settlement involving the issuance of shares valued at $57,000 at a price of $0.28 per share.
Ramp Metals Inc. (RAMP) reported high-grade volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) intercepts that expand the strike length and identify a second mineralized zone, a development considered materially positive for the grass-roots explorer with a $12 million market capitalization. The Rush-019 drill hole returned a zinc grade of 13.3%, the highest reported to date, which strengthens the case for a potentially economic VMS cluster.
However, the lack of true width means tonnage potential cannot be estimated; the broad interval is low grade and may not be mineable. The Deep Zone is encouraging but is defined by only two narrow hits.
The stock had drifted from $0.35 in late May to $0.27 in late July. This news should, on its own, re-rate the equity modestly, but the absence of true width and CuEq assumptions will limit upside. The results de-risk the continuity of the Rush system and open a new exploration vector.
Ramp Metals Inc. (RAMP) is a junior explorer holding a 100% interest in the 32,715‑hectare Rottenstone SW project in Saskatchewan, situated within a volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS)‑prospective belt. The company currently holds no resources or reserves.
The flagship Rush Zn‑Cu‑Ag target has been drilled over 4,000 m in 19 holes, confirming VMS mineralization across 250 m of strike. Other early‑stage targets, including Ranger gold, Redridge Cu‑Ag, and Runway Ni‑PGE, add optionality to the portfolio.
As of March 31, 2026, the company held $3.3M in cash, with a small financing or flow‑through raise considered probable. The company carries a 2% net smelter return (NSR), which is 1% buyable for $1M. Management and the board possess significant VMS and discovery experience.
