Ramp Metals drilling Rottenstone SW property, Saskatchewan
Ramp Metals Inc. [TSXV: RAMP] reported a 21-metre intercept grading 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn and 0.23% Pb over 21 metres from 50.5 to 71.5 metres in Rush-011 drill hole. Rush-011 was the first drill hole completed in the ongoing winter drill program at the company’s Rottenstone SW property in Saskatchewan.
Highlights: Rush-011 intercept of 21 metres (50.5-71.5m) of 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn, and 0.23% Pb, including 3 metres (51-54m) of 1.50% Cu, 24.15 g/t Ag, 0.15 g/t Au, and 0.51% Zn; also including 3.5 metres (59.5-63m) of 1.02% Cu, 21.00 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.39% Zn, and 0.33% Pb.
VMS style mineralization encountered in every hole drilled on the 1,100-metre long main Rush anomaly during the ongoing drill program.
Following up a successful 2025 drill campaign that resulted in the Rush VMS discovery, the company is currently conducting a drill program aimed at further delineating the mineralized zones at Rush. Preliminary results indicate continuity between the two zones identified in 2025 and have led to the identification of a new, deeper zone situated west of the previously known mineralization.
Drilled from the same location, drill holes Rush-011 and 012 were 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. These holes 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-011 and 012 both intersected significant intervals of VMS style mineralization. Rush-011 returned 21 metres (50.5-71.5m) grading 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn and 0.23% Pb, including 3 metres (51-54m) grading 1.50% Cu, 24.15 g/t Ag, 0.15 g/t Au, 0.51% Zn and 0.12% Pb.
Additionally, the interval included 3.5 metres (59.5-63m) grading 1.02% Cu, 21.00 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.39% Zn, and 0.33% Pb. This result extends previously identified mineralization at surface and in Rush-010 at depth and remains open.
Rush-012 tested below and along strike to the SE of Rush-010 mineralization. Rush-012 intersected a broad zone of VMS style mineralization (assays pending).
Rush-015 was 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 semi-massive and localized zones of massive sulphides over 4.1 metres from 129.60 to 133.70 metres.
Rush-018 was designed to test and extend the mineralization at depth beneath the Discovery Zone (Rush-001, 002, 003, 009), Rush-018 encountered a broad zone of VMS style mineralization ranging from disseminated to massive sulphides
Ramp Metals is a grassroots exploration company with a focus on a potential new Saskatchewan copper-gold district. The company currently has a high-grade gold discovery of 73.55 g/t Au over 7.5 metres, and a new Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag VMS discovery at its flagship Rottenstone SW property.
