Ramp Metals Drills 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.73% Zn over 21m in Rush-011
Ramp Metals Drills 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag,
0.73% Zn over 21m in Rush-011
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2026) - Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP)
("
Ramp Metals
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to report a 21m intercept grading 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t
Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn, 0.23 % Pb over 21m from 50.5 to 71.5m 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.
Key Highlights:
Rush-011 intercept of 21m (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 3m (51-54m) of 1.50% Cu, 24.15 g/t Ag, 0.15 g/t Au, and 0.51% Zn.
also including 3.5m (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 1100m 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 (

Rush-011 and 012
Drilled from the same location, Rush-011 and 012 were designed to test below and adjacent to the
mineralization encountered in the 2025 drill hole Rush-010, which intersected 27m (18-45m) of 0.78%
Cu, 1.91% Zn, 0.53% Pb, 12.71 g/t Ag (
August 5
th
2025 News Release
). 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 (
January 20
th
, 2025 New Release
).
Rush-011 and 012 both intersected significant intervals of VMS style mineralization. Rush-011 returned
21m (50.5-71.5m) grading 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn, 0.23% Pb. Including 3m (51-
54m) grading 1.50% Cu, 24.15 g/t Ag, 0.15 g/t Au, 0.51% Zn, 0.12% Pb. Additionally, the interval
includes 3.5 meters (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). Examples of the mineralization encountered in
Rush-012 can be seen in

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 semi-massive and localized zones of
massive sulphides over 4.1m from 129.60 to 133.70m (

Rush-018
Designed to test and extend the mineralization at depth beneath the Discovery Zone (Rush-001, 002,

QA/QC and Geochemical Sampling Procedure
All drill core samples are logged, photographed, and bagged on-site. Control samples consisting of
certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and
analyzed as part of the Companies QA/QC protocol at a rate of 1:15 or better. Samples are transported
by Manitoulin Transport to Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd.("BV"), an internationally
recognized and ISO 17025:2017 accredited analytical services provider, at its Vancouver, British
Columbia laboratory. The Company's QA/QC protocol is in addition to BV's QA/QC standard procedure.
Drill core samples were prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where samples are weighed, dried,
and crushed to greater than 70% passing a 2mm sieve, then pulverized to greater than 85% passing 75
microns. Samples from Rush are analyzed in accordance with BV's FA330 (Au) and MA300 packages,
for gold analysis by fire assay (30g fire assay with AAS finish) and multi-element ICP analysis (0.25 g,
multi-acid and ICP-ES analysis). Gold returning >10ppm is automatically analyzed by gravimetric
method in accordance with lab standard of practice. Copper over limits were re-assayed using BV's
MA370 package, a multi-acid digestion with ICP-ES finish.
