Gladiator Intersects Multiple Copper-Gold Skarns at Arctic Chief Including 14m @ 0.82% Copper plus 2.06g/t Gold from 55m and 6m @ 2.16% Copper plus 2.13 g/t Gold from 95m

Executive Summary

• Gladiator Metals announced assay results from an 11‑hole, 2,695 m drill program at the Arctic Chief prospect, revealing multiple high‑grade copper–gold‑silver skarn intercepts, including up to 5.22 g/t Au and 2.16 % Cu over several metres.
• The results complement recent high‑grade intercepts from the nearby Best Chance prospect, indicating an emerging >2 km mineralized corridor within the Whitehorse Copper Belt.
• Company plans to continue fully funded 2025 drilling to delineate a near‑surface copper‑gold resource and target a maiden NI 43‑101 compliant resource by Q2 2026.

Key Details

• Arctic Chief – Hole ACG‑012D4: 25 m @ 0.59 % Cu, 1.24 g/t Au, 4.59 g/t Ag (44 m); includes 14 m @ 0.82 % Cu, 2.06 g/t Au, 7.39 g/t Ag (55 m) and 6 m @ 1.11 % Cu, 4.06 g/t Au, 13.23 g/t Ag (63 m).
• Arctic Chief – Hole ACG‑011D1: 22.1 m @ 0.76 % Cu, 0.51 g/t Au, 5.98 g/t Ag (202.41 m); includes 5.59 m @ 1.65 % Cu, 0.67 g/t Au, 14.45 g/t Ag and 3.50 m @ 1.35 % Cu, 1.88 g/t Au, 8.99 g/t Ag (218 m).
• Arctic Chief – Hole ACG‑012D1: 6.0 m @ 2.16 % Cu, 2.13 g/t Au, 21.4 g/t Ag (95 m) and 3.7 m @ 1.96 % Cu, 5.22 g/t Au, 5.17 g/t Ag (111.3 m).
• Arctic Chief – Hole ACG‑012D2: 5.0 m @ 1.54 % Cu, 0.38 g/t Au, 11.18 g/t Ag (79 m).
• Best Chance – Hole ACG‑009: 77.25 m @ 0.70 % Cu, 0.04 g/t Au, 7.18 g/t Ag (2.75 m); includes 18 m @ 1.10 % Cu, 0.06 g/t Au, 12.04 g/t Ag (28 m).

• Best Chance – Hole ACG‑008D1: 2.59 m @ 3.95 % Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, 19.15 g/t Ag, 10 ppm Mo (8.66 m).

• All intercepts are from shallow depths (<150 m), indicating near‑surface mineralization open in all directions.

• Gravity surveys completed May 2025 support the structural continuity of the Arctic Chief Trend and highlight a high‑density anomaly linking historic targets (Arctic Chief, Best Chance, Grafter).
• Exploration strategy: 29,000 m planned drill program for 2025 across Cowley Park, Chiefs Trend, Best Chance, Arctic Chief, and Cub Trend; aim to define resources and test continuity of skarn bodies.

Notable Quotes

“Initial drilling at the Arctic Chief trend has returned some of the most significant gold values returned by Gladiator to date… The multiple underexplored magnetite‑copper‑gold skarn bodies are close to surface and open in all directions.” – Jason Bontempo, President & CEO

Materiality: Material – Positive (high‑grade intercepts suggest a potentially significant near‑surface copper‑gold resource, supporting upcoming NI 43‑101 resource estimate.)
