Gladiator Metals Corp. announced an update to its ongoing data compilation of historic drilling and the identification of the largely untested shallow, high-grade, Arctic Chief Prospect, at the historically producing Whitehorse Copper Project. Historical drill intersections at Arctic Chief external to the previously mined areas includes mineralization that remains open both along strike and at depth, with best results including: AC-015: 17.1m @ 1.52% Cu from 26.49m. AC-013: 13.35m @ 1.42% Cu from 20.85m. AC-051: 6.79m @ 3.14% Cu Fr 80.47m. AC-035: 6.71m @ 2.24% Cu Fr 29.44m. Previous successful exploitation of the Arctic Chief prospect was limited in scope and remains shallow . Very limited drilling has been undertaken outside of these past producing deposits with mineralization remaining open both along strike and at depth at all of the defined prospect areas. The Company recently completed collating historic drilling, completed a LIDAR survey and undertaken reconnaissance, prospecting and sampling of outcropping Cu-Au skarn mineralization proximal to the
Arctic Chief mining pits. Holes were drilled at various dips on variable, prospect specific, nominal grids. Gladiator obtained the drill records and logs from the Yukon Geological Survey archives and have captured the data within an industry standard database and has been validated. 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 meta sediments. Cumulatively, there is more than 35km of underexplored strike on the contact which is highly prospective for high-grade
