Ramp Metals drills 7.4 metres of 1.01% Cu, 7.07% Zn, and 10.11 g/t Ag in 55-metre step-out at Rottenstone SW Project, Saskatchewan
Ramp Metals Inc. [TSXV: RAMP] reported a 7.4-metre intercept grading 1.01% Cu, 7.07% Zn, and 10.11 g/t Ag over 7.4 metres from 129.6 to 137 metres in the Rush-015 drill hole at the company’s Rottenstone SW property, Saskatchewan. Rush-015 represents a 55-metre step-out to the south from the mineralization intersected in Rush-012 which returned 0.72% Cu, 11.99 g/t Ag, 1.71% Zn, and 0.41% Pb over 25.9 metres from 42 to 67.9 metres. The Company has also been approved for a reimbursement of $150,000 from the 2025-2026 Targeted Mineral Exploration Incentive (TMEI) program in Saskatchewan.
Key Highlights: Rush-015: 7.4 metres (129.6-137m) of 1.01% Cu, 7.07% Zn, 10.11 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, and 0.11% Pb, including 4.1 metres (129.6-133.7m) of 1.55% Cu, 9.57% Zn, 9.47 g/t Ag, and 0.03 g/t Au.
Also intersected was 1 metre (147-148m) of 2.19 g/t Au outside of the main mineralized intercept and located 11 metres from the end of hole (158m).
Rush-012: 25.9 metres (42-67.9m) of 0.72% Cu, 11.99 g/t Ag, 1.71% Zn, and 0.41% Pb, including a 4.5-metre (43-47.5m) copper-rich zone grading 2.03% Cu, 22.83 g/t Ag, and 1.58% Zn, also including a 6-metre (54.5-60.5m) zinc-rich zone grading 5.04% Zn, 0.50% Cu, 12.60 g/t Ag, and 1.20%.
Rush-013: 4.0 metres (144.5-148.5m) of 0.78% Cu, 0.03% Zn, 15.18 g/t Ag, 0.29 g/t Au, and 0.01% Pb.
Also intersected 5 metres (122-127m) of 0.41% Cu, 0.04% Zn, 30.20 g/t Ag, 0.04 g/t Au, and 1.76% Pb.
“The mineralization intersected in Rush-015 represents the most significant high-grade intercept that we have intersected to date at Rush,” stated Garrett Smith, VP of Exploration for Ramp Metals. “The location of the mineralization is important, as it extends the mineralization at depth and demonstrates a potential link between the two zones we discovered in the 2025 program.”
The company has now completed its 2026 winter/spring drill program. A total of 16 drill holes comprising 3,817.06m was drilled over 72 days. Six different anomalies across the property were tested; Rush, Rush Satellite 1, Rush Satellite 2, Runway, Redridge, and Ranger.
Rush-012: Drilled from the same location as Rush-011, Rush-012 was designed to test below and adjacent to the mineralization encountered in the 2025 drill hole Rush-010, which intersected 27 metres (18-45m) of 0.78% Cu, 1.91% Zn, 0.53% Pb, 12.71 g/t Ag. Rush-012 targeted beneath an outcrop found during the Fall 2024 field season, resulting in surface rock samples that returned values of up to 1.61% Cu, 113 g/t Ag, and 0.79 g/t Au.
Rush-012 intersected a significant interval of mineralization ranging from disseminated to semi-massive sulphides. Assays returned 25.9 metres (42-67.9m) grading 0.72% Cu, 11.99 g/t Ag, 1.71% Zn, and 0.41% Pb, including a 4.5-metre (43-47.5m) copper-rich zone grading 2.03% Cu, 22.83 g/t Ag, and 1.58% Zn. Rush-012 also included a 6m (54.5m-60.5m) zinc-rich zone grading 5.04% Zn, 0.50% Cu, 12.60 g/t Ag, and 1.20% Pb. This result extends the previously identified mineralization in Rush-010 at depth and remains open.
Rush-013: Rush-013 intercepts include 5m (122-127m) grading 0.41% Cu, 30.24 g/t Ag, and 1.76% Pb, along with 4m (144.5-148.5m) grading 0.78% Cu, 15.18 g/t Ag, and 0.29 g/t Au. Two other reportable intercepts were also encountered in this hole where disseminated sulphides were noted in the core. These intercepts include 1.5m (152-153.5m) grading 0.51% Cu, 21.10 g/t Ag, 0.58 g/t Au, and 5m (181-186m) grading 0.45% Cu, 3.04 g/t Ag. This extends the mineralization at depth and further to the west. Mineralization remains open.
Rush-015: Designed to test between the Discovery Zone (Rush-001, 002, 003, 009) and the mineralization encountered in Rush-010, 011, and 012, Rush-015 intersected 7.4 metres from 129.6 to 137m of 1.01% Cu, 7.07% Zn, 10.11 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, and 0.11 % Pb, including 4.1 metres from 129.6 to 133.7m of 1.55% Cu, 9.57% Zn, 9.47 g/t Ag, and 0.03 g/t Au.
In addition, a 1-metre intercept of 2.19 g/t Au was returned from 147-148 metres, which is located outside the main intercept of mineralization. This 1m intercept is located only 11 metres from the end of hole, which terminated at 158 metres.
Rush-015 represents a 55-metre step-out to the South towards the Discovery Zone from the mineralized intercept in Rush-012. This extends the mineralization along strike and at depth. Mineralization remains open.
