Further Drilling Planned At Best Chance Project After Evaluation Of Mineralization

VANCOUVER – Gladiator Metals Corp reported on its recent three hole (515m) drill program at its Best Chance prospect, that evaluated near surface high-grade copper skarn mineralization along the 2-km long Arctic Chief Trend, a high priority target within the Company’s 35km long Whitehorse Copper Belt.

Mineralized intercepts in first pass drilling point to an emerging discovery at the Best Chance prospect within the Arctic Chief trend; with further drilling planned to follow up.

ACG-009 returned 77.25m @ 0.70% Cu from 2.75m plus 0.04 g/t Au, 7.18 g/t Ag & 8 ppm Mo including: 18m @ 1.10% Cu from 28m plus 0.06 g/t Au, 12.04 g/t Ag & 4 ppm Mo. ACG-008 returned 13.38m @ 0.85% Cu from 7.62m plus 0.03 g/t Au, 4.46 g/t Ag & 33 ppm Mo including: 9.38m @ 1.00% Cu from 7.62m plus 0.02 g/t Au, 2.89 g/t Ag & 46 ppm Mo. ACG-008D1 returned 2.59m @ 3.95% Cu from 8.66m plus 0.08 g/t Au, 19.15 g/t Ag & 10 ppm Mo.

Noteworthy intercepts of unmined mineralization from historical drilling at Best Chance includes: 1) 51.66m @ 0.67% Cu from 12.13m – BCH-006. 2) 14.33m @ 1.33% Cu from 46.48m, and 3.05m @ 3.45% Cu from 80.28m and 20.18m @ 1.50% Cu from 88.51m – BCH-010. 3) 31.39m @ 1.04% Cu from 54.32m, including 9.14m @ 2.39% Cu – BCH 015. 4) 46.27m @ 1.01% Cu from 24.38m, including 25.30m @ 1.37% Cu – BCH 023. 5) 12.59m @ 1.09% Cu from 9.30m, and 15.94m @ 3.19% Cu from 29.96m, & 9.69m @ 1.15% Cu from 73.61m – BCH-024.

Recently processed gravity data further reinforce and solidify the emerging potential of the broader Arctic Chief Trend. Additional assay results for eleven drillholes (2,695m) has been recently completed at the Arctic Chief Prospect (which include historic mining open cut pits), with results expected soon.

CEO, Jason Bontempo, said, “Drill hole ACG-009 has significantly broadened the breadth and size of near surface, high-grade copper mineralization previously intersected from surface at Best Chance. Best Chance is now showing potential strike and width similar in size to the Cowley Park Prospect but with only 10 drill holes completed by Gladiator to date it has become an advanced priority prospect within the Whitehorse Copper Belt to unlock potential near surface high grade copper resources.
This result at Best Chance highlights the underexplored resource potential of the >2km Arctic Chief mineralized trend that has been mapped on surface but remains undrilled and sits within the highly prospective 35km long Whitehorse Copper Belt”.
