Ramp Metals Intersects Mineralization in All Drillholes at Rush
Ramp Metals Intersects Mineralization in All
Drillholes at Rush
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2026) - Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP)
("
Ramp Metals
" or the "
Company
") is pleased provide an update on its ongoing 2026 winter drill
program. The Company has completed a total of nine (9) holes over 2,199 meters to date. All drilling to
date has taken place on the 1100m long main Rush anomaly at the Company's Rottenstone SW
property, and every drill hole has intersected significant VMS style mineralization.
Key Highlights:
All 9 drill holes have intersected VMS style mineralization ranging from disseminated to
semi-massive and massive sulphides.
Broad zones of mineralization were encountered in multiple holes including Rush-011,
012, 018, and 019.
New mineralized zone discovered approximately 70m west of known mineralization trend
and deeper than previous known mineralization
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.
A total of nine (9) holes covering 2,199 meters have been drilled to date. Examples of the mineralization
encountered can be seen below (
Figures 1-5
). The Company has dispatched a total of four (4)
shipments to Bureau Veritas Commodities Ltd. in Vancouver, BC, for analysis. These shipments
comprise holes Rush-011, 012, 013, 014, and 015. Core cutting and processing are progressing
smoothly, and shipments are dispatched promptly after the completion of each drill hole.
The Company has concluded drilling activities at Rush and is preparing to evaluate additional anomalies
on the Rottenstone SW property. These include two Rush satellite targets, as well as Runway, Redridge,
and Ranger, contingent upon available time and appropriate conditions.
"We are extremely encouraged by the results from our 2026 winter drill program at Rush," commented
Jordan Black, CEO of Ramp Metals. "Intersecting VMS-style mineralization in every single drill hole
completed at Rush to date is a fantastic outcome and demonstrates the strength and continuity of the
mineralized system. The discovery of a new, deeper mineralized zone approximately 70 meters west of
the known trend further highlights the significant exploration upside at Rush."
"Furthermore, we are equally excited to now advance the high-priority Runway and Redridge targets that
were identified and prioritized in our 2025 field programs. Redridge hosts a 2.4 km EM anomaly with
surface soils returning up to 245 ppm Cu and 852 ppb Ag, while Runway delivered a surface grab
sample of 0.183 g/t Pt, 92 ppb Pd and 825 ppb Ni. Following the hit-rate at Rush, these two targets
represent outstanding additional discovery potential across our district-scale Rottenstone SW property."

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 are 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.
