Ramp Metals Completes Fall Exploration and
Discovers New Mineralized Target
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 21, 2025) - Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP)
("
Ramp Metals
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce the completion of the Company's fall 2025
field program at its Rottenstone SW project in Saskatchewan.
A mapping and sampling program was
undertaken over the new and existing electromagnetic (EM) anomalies highlighted in the most recent
HTDEM geophysical survey. During the field program, a total of 213 rock samples and 343 soil samples
were taken (
Figure 1
) and Ground FLTEM and borehole EM surveys were completed.
Key Highlights:
Ramp Metals is pleased to share key highlights from its ongoing exploration efforts and upcoming plans
at its flagship Saskatchewan project:
Ranger: Newly exposed shear zone located approximately 325m NE of the Ranger-001 discovery
hole.
Redridge: Newly identified 2.4 km long EM anomaly located approximately 5km south of Ranger.
Heavily oxidized with excellent outcrop exposure.
Rush: Ground FLTEM geophysical survey completed, and three (3) new satellite targets identified.
Available Capital: Ramp Metals currently has more than $4.5 million in its treasury.
"Ramp has completed another successful exploration program, identifying several promising targets. A
newly exposed NE-SW trending shear zone at Ranger could provide fresh insights into the area's gold
sources. Additionally, Redridge shows tremendous potential, with multiple samples displaying malachite
staining and peacock weathering. Once drill permits are secured, our team will launch an aggressive
drilling program," commented Jordan Black, CEO of Ramp Metals.

Ranger
As a result of the recently extinguished wildfires, teams were able to locate a newly exposed shear zone
located approximately 325m NE of the Ranger-001 discovery hole (
Figure 2)
. The NE-SW striking shear
zone ranges from 50-70m wide and is covered by heavily oxidized soils with a deep red colour (
Figure
3
). A total of 30 soil and 29 rock samples were taken at Ranger. Sulphides were noted in strongly altered
migmatite and mafic volcanic outcrops throughout the shear zone. Quartz veins were also found within
the shear zone, with the largest being up to 1.5m wide (
Figure 4
).

Redridge
Redridge is a newly identified 2.4 km long EM anomaly located approximately 5km south of Ranger
(
Figure 5
). The anomaly was called "Redridge" due to the presence of a highly oxidized outcrop ridge
(
Figure 6
), and red soils (
Figure 7
) found over a portion of the anomaly within the shear zone. The fires at
Redridge revealed extensive outcrop exposure, enabling teams to identify altered mafic volcanic
outcrops and scattered sub-angular boulders across the anomaly. Malachite staining, peacock
weathering, and sulphides were observed in multiple samples. Additionally, a large shear zone was
observed running NE-SW across the anomaly. A total of five (5) soil and 75 rock samples were taken at
Redridge during the field program.

Rush
A soil grid was completed over the entire Rush anomaly at 50m spacing with teams prospecting while
completing the soil grid. A total of 276 soil and 18 rock samples were taken over the main Rush anomaly
(
Figure 8
). Additionally, three satellite anomalies located within 1 km of the main Rush anomaly were
investigated. These anomalies show comparable rock types and alteration patterns to those observed at
the surface of the primary Rush anomaly.
Dias Geophysical completed a ground FLTEM geophysical survey to cover the 1200m long main Rush
anomaly. Borehole EM was also completed on Rush-001, 003, 006, 007, 008, 009, and 010.

Rogue
Borehole EM was conducted on Rogue-001 and Rogue-002. In addition, a 100-meter grid with 30 soil
samples was completed over the section of the Rogue anomaly that remained outside the coverage of
the 2024 program (
Figure 9
). Even with the recent fire in the area, outcrop exposure over Rogue is
extremely limited or nonexistent as till and topsoil covers the top 5-10m of the anomaly.

Update on 2025 Drill Results
Ranger and Rogue
No significant gold values were intercepted in the remaining holes from the 2025 drill program at Ranger
and Rogue. Drill holes returned anomalous gold values up to 0.143 g/t over 1m at Ranger. Despite this,
the Company intends to continue gold exploration activities in the Ranger area, supported by promising
results obtained from the recent 2025 fall field program.

Rush
Mineralization was intersected in 8 out of 10 holes drilled at Rush during the drilling program.
Table 2
below features key intercepts from the remaining drillholes at Rush. See
Figure 10
for an overview of
select key intercepts from Rush drilling to date. First pass drilling has shown that the interpreted VMS
style mineralization can be found along the full length of the Rush anomaly. The Company believes that
the relationship identified between the mineralized intercepts and the recently conducted FLTEM and
BHEM surveys could inform and enhance targeting in future drilling programs.
