Gladiator Metals Corp. announced an update on drilling at Whitehorse Copper Project with drilling targeting significant widths of unmined, Copper-Gold skarns over more than 700m of strike at the historic Little Chief mine trend. The former Little Chief mining trend is the largest historically producing mine in the Whitehorse Copper Belt with a total mined production of approximately 8.54 million tons grading > l.5% copper and 0.75g/t gold (W Watson, 1984).

Production from the Little Chief open cut mine commenced in May 1967, with mining of the open cut completed in 1969. Underground mining development commenced in 1971 and ceased operation in 1982 due to the prevailingly low copper price environment. On review, Gladiator has identified down dip potential for the mineralization to continue, where little or no drilling has been completed to date and mineralization remains open.

Gladiator recently completed collating historic drilling for the Little Chief historical production area. This mineralization appears to remain intact with drilling completed to date being limited in scope and size and does not appear to have closed off the unmined high grade copper skarn mineralization at Middle Chief. Drilling commenced at Middle Chief on the January 9, 2024 and is planned to continue over the next 3 months.

Drill holes with the prefixes "LCU-", "D-and "BC2" were "Collared" or conducted from underground mining infrastructure, including drill drives and the main decline used to access the Little Chief Mine and Mineralization. A complete list of the collated historic drilling noted above, including hole location, azimuth and dip can be accessed at: Cowley Park. Remaining assay results have now been received from Gladiator's recently completed 4,000m diamond drill program at Cowley Park, Drilling was primarily focused on extensions to known mineralization in preparation for resource definition drilling.

Significant drill intercepts received, include: CPG-017:26m @ 1.49% Cu & 368 ppm Mo from 98m including 15m @ 2.36% Cu & 421ppm Mo from 104m and 4m @ 7.75% Cu & 686 ppm Mo from 110m. Drilling completed was designed to test extensions to high-grade mineralized and aid planning for resource definition drilling.
