Ramp Metals Announces Receipt of Exploration Permit and Commencement of 2024/25 Gold Exploration Campaign
Ramp Metals Announces Receipt of
Exploration Permit and Commencement of
2024/25 Gold Exploration Campaign
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 3, 2024) - Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP)
("
Ramp Metals
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce the receipt of necessary permits to
continue exploration at the Company's Rottenstone SW project. The Company will focus on its Ranger
target where
73.55 g/t Au over 7.5m
was discovered. Mobilization of the field crew for the mapping and
sampling program will occur on October 7, 2024.
"The Ramp Metals team hit a world class gold intercept after only one exploration season on site.
Historically, the Rottenstone SW property has not been explored in detail. Saskatchewan is very
underexplored in general, which shows the potential for a new gold district. The team will use the data
from this mapping and sampling program to help prioritize areas for drill targeting," commented Jordan
Black, CEO and Director of Ramp Metals Inc.

The goals of this program will be to attempt to find and trace the mineralized
high-grade
Quartz-Diorite
at surface, and to follow up on the two samples (5.11 g/t and 1.09 g/t) from October 2023 which were
found in a more mafic rock package.
Due to the presence of mineralization in two different rock packages, multiple samples will be taken from
all lithologies encountered during the program. This has the potential to highlight more packages of
interest and generate additional drill targets. Mapping and sampling of the surface bedrock units is
critical to build a database of information essential for modeling important units and targeting
mineralization accurately for the upcoming drill program.
The Ranger target has bedrock exposed at surface; therefore, the focus will be on collecting rock
samples and mapping of bedrock. In lower lying areas of interest, where cover is thick and no outcrop is
visible, soil samples will be taken.
The lower priority zones in Figure 1 are targets generated from our 2023 EM and Magnetic geophysical
survey and will be visited if time allows. Bedrock exposure around the Rogue target is minimal and
covered by 1-10m of overburden.
The Company is currently permitted for mapping, sampling and geophysics until December 2025. An
amendment to allow up to 5000m of drilling has been submitted to the Saskatchewan Ministry of
Environment.
In addition, Ramp Metals also announces that the Company has adopted a stand-alone restricted share
unit plan (the "
RSU Plan
") in order to supplement its existing stock option plan, and granted an
aggregate of 720,000 restricted share units (or RSUs) to certain directors, officers and consultants of the
Company. Both the RSU Plan and the Company's existing stock option plan are "rolling up to 10%"
plans, and the RSU Plan remains subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders as well as the
acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "
TSXV
").
In accordance with the policies of the TSXV,
none of the RSUs will vest until the date that is 12 months following the grant date, subject to certain
limited exceptions.
