Gladiator Metals Corp. announced the final results from the maiden drilling campaign completed at the high-grade Cowley Park prospect ("Cowley Park") that forms part of the Whitehorse Copper Project. Gladiators 2,632m, 14-hole maiden diamond drilling campaign was completed on May 19th and all assay results from the program have now been received.

Significant drill intercepts from the program include: CPG-001: 20m at 1.43% Cu from 42m within 71m at 0.72% Cu from 32m; CPG-002: 13m at 1.44% Cu and 0.15% Mo from 28m and 33m at 1.48% Cu from 71m within 113m at 0.79% Cu; CPG-003: 13.2m at 2.26% Cu from 22.8m; CPG-004: 10m at 1.68% Cu from 87m within 28m at 0.91% Cu from 87m; CPG-006: 16m at 2.36% Cu from 79m within 92m at 0.71% Cu from 67m; CPG-007: 8m at 2.29% Cu and 0.15% Mo from 95m within 12m at 1.72% Cu from 93m; CPG-009: 30m at 0.65% Cu from 100m; CPG-010: 26m at 1.14% Cu from 86m; CPG-012: 48m at 0.97% Cu from 33m including 8m at 1.6% Cu from 65m; CPG-014: 45m at 0.66% Cu from 84m. These results confirm the width and continuity of high-grade mineralization previously targeted at Cowley Park with mineralization remaining open in all directions. Particularly encouraging is the continuity of broad widths of high-grade mineralization in step out drilling to the southeast of Cowley Park with 12m at 1.72% Cu including 8m at 2.29% Cu and 0.15% Mo intersected in the most easterly hole, CPG-007.

Molybdenum was not systematically assayed for in the historical drilling and its observed widespread distribution throughout the Cowley Park area during this program provides encouragement that its inclusion in Gladiators datasets will add co-product value alongside other potentially contributing elements including silver and gold. The significant potential of broader lower grade mineralized envelopes surrounding the previously identified high grade copper mineralization that was the subject of historical exploration continues to be highlighted by recent results with intervals of 8m at 16% Cu within 48m at 0.97% Cu in hole CPG-012. As a result recently completed drilling compares favorably to historical results and highlights the potential for Gladiator to significantly enhance the potential tonnage of future resources at Cowley Park through systematic targeting and sampling of lower grade envelopes to the high grade mineralization.

The Company's exploration Program at the Whitehorse Copper Project for 2023 is categorized into five parts including: In addition to the Company's recently completed maiden, 2,632m diamond drilling program a further 2,000m is in an advanced planning stage, that is scheduled to commence during August. Gladiator has a further ~4,300 metres of drilling it can complete under its currently approved Class 1 Permit. Cowley Park had reached feasibility stage before historical Copper mining operations were shut down in 1982.

Identified mineralisation at Cowley remains open along strike and down dip.; In addition to the Company's own diamond drilling, Gladiator will continue its program of logging and assaying approximately 10,000 metres of unassayed core from exploration drilling completed in recent years by prior operators. The 10,000 metres of core mostly relates to drilling at Cowley Park but also includes drilling at other prospect areas including North Star, Grafters and Verona which are situated in the Best Chance to North Star trend and includes the former Little Chief Mine.; Gladiator will also assay for molybdenum, gold, silver and other elements which were not historically systematically assayed for, along with incorporating potentially lower grade mineralized material within or adjacent to significant mineralised widths that was often not sampled in the past to allow for future assessment of modern bulk mining potential.; The Company is also carrying out a systematic consolidation of the historic drilling and mining activity representing the first time a comprehensive review of regional datasets has been undertaken since the last mining activity in the region ceased in 1982 with the closure of the Little Chief mine. Gladiator to date has identified over 800 historical surface drill holes drilled by Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting Co Ltd., Yankee Hat Minerals Ltd., Lobo Del Norte Ltd. and the Vendor H.Coyne & Sons Ltd. which were logged and selectively assayed.

This includes 219 holes for approximately 25,000 metres completed at the Cowley Park Prospect which were reported to the market on April 3rd. As compilation and digitisation is completed the Company will release the results of this historical drilling by prospect area along the Whitehorse Copper belt.; Gladiator has initiated summer field programs including regional mapping, sampling and geophysical programs to further refine drill targets at more than 30, drill ready, high-grade regional targets associated with copper rich skarns within the Whitehorse Copper Belt. ahead of planned winter drill campaigns.

Work completed to date has identified more than 30, drill ready, high-grade regional targets associated with copper rich skarns at the contact between the Cretaceous age Whitehorse Plutonic Suite and the Triassic to Jurassic Lewes River Group's clastic and carbonate metasediments. Cumulatively, there is more than 35km of underexplored strike on the contact which is highly prospective for high-grade copper+/-molybdenum+/-silver+/- gold.
