Ramp Metals Mobilizes Drill Rig to Its Cu-Zn-Ag-Au VMS Property

RAMP · Price

Executive Summary

  • Ramp Metals has mobilized a drill rig to the Rottenstone SW project in Saskatchewan to test its primary targets (Rush, Ranger, Redridge, Runway).
  • The project remains fully permitted through December 2027 for up to 150 drill holes, enabling an extensive upcoming drilling campaign.
  • Prior historic intercepts at Rush and surface sampling results at Redridge and Runway underscore the exploration potential of the property.

Key Details

  • Drill Mobilization: Rig deployed to Rottenstone SW; focus on four main targets (Rush, Ranger, Redridge, Runway).
  • Permitting: Fully permitted through Dec 2027; allowance for up to 150 drill holes.
  • Historical Intercepts – Rush:
  • Rush‑001: 1.21% Cu, 9.34% Zn, 5.59 g/t Ag over 3.53 m.
  • Rush‑010: 0.78% Cu, 1.91% Zn, 0.53% Pb, 12.71 g/t Ag over 27 m.
  • Ranger: Newly exposed shear zone adjacent to the original discovery area (no quantitative results disclosed).
  • Redridge Surface Sampling: Soil samples up to 245 ppm Cu and 852 ppb Ag at surface.
  • Runway Surface Grab Samples: 0.183 g/t Pt, 92 ppb Pd, 825 ppb Ni at surface.
  • Exploration Strategy Comment (Garrett Smith, VP Exploration): Emphasizes transition from airborne‑geophysics‑driven programs to integrated ground, borehole, and airborne data to improve drilling accuracy and expand known mineralization.
  • Qualified Person: Brett Williams, P.Geo., VP Operations & Senior Geologist, has reviewed and approved the technical content per NI 43‑101 standards.

Notable Quotes

“Our original drill programs were primarily based on airborne geophysics and limited prospecting,” said Garrett Smith, Ramp Metals' VP of Exploration. “The property has now seen three seasons of prospecting, combined with ground, borehole, and airborne geophysics. This data should greatly improve the accuracy of drilling. We look forward to expanding upon the mineralization discovered during last year's program and testing new targets across the property.”
