Identification Of New High Grade Copper Skarn Targets At HAT Prospect

VANCOUVER - Gladiator Metals Corp. reported on regional exploration targeting the identification of new high-grade copper skarn drill targets in the HAT prospect area in the northern part of the Whitehorse Copper Project. Significant future exploration potential is indicated at the HAT copper skarn prospect by shallow historical drill results intersecting high-grade copper skarns, including: 1) 10.54m @ 4.99% Cu from 124.39m - HT-001. 2) 9.63m @ 1.14% Cu from 108.51m including 2.93m @ 3.13% Cu from 115.21m - HT-004. 3) 41.36m @ 0.58% Cu from 8.17m including 10.73m @ 1.07% Cu from 25.91m - HT-007.

These newly confirmed targets within the HAT prospect area have been defined through field mapping and sampling, historic data compilation and the incorporation of drone-borne aeromagnetic completed in 2024. This work at HAT has defined multiple undrilled high-magnetic anomalies, coincident with mineralization over more than 7km of strike and along strike from the historic War Eagle open pit mine.

CEO, Jason Bontempo, said, "Gladiator is pleased to have identified another priority work area from recently completed drone borne aero-magnetics, field mapping and data compilation of historic drilling datasets. Despite high-grade results including 10.54m @ 4.99% Cu, drilling in the HAT area remains shallow, and this data compilation highlights the opportunity of targeting the 7km anomalous magnetic trend with systematic exploration. We look forward to updating the market in the coming months with ongoing exploration targeting these known occurrences as well as initial results from Gladiators ongoing resource drill campaign at Cowley Park."
