Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD | OTC Pink: GDTRF | FSE: ZX7) has updated its ongoing data compilation of historic drilling and identification of the largely untested shallow, high-grade Arctic Chief prospect at the historically producing Whitehorse copper project in Yukon, Canada.
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: 17.1m at 1.52% Cu from 26.5m and 13.4m at 1.42% Cu from 20.9m.
“Gladiator is pleased to have identified another priority work area from its data compilation of historic drilling datasets,” commented Gladiator CEO, Jason Bontempo.
“We look forward to updating the market in the coming months with results from this regional exploration, further data compilation of historic drilling, assays from previously unlogged and unsampled core, as well news from Gladiators planned 4,000m diamond drill campaign at Cowley Park.”
Highlights from recent mapping and rock chip results at Artic Chief included:
- Hole H678364: 13.3% Cu and 5.53g/t Au
- Hole H678301: 8.05% Cu and 10.1g/t Au
- Hole H678374: 4.69% Cu and 4.46g/t Au
- Hole H678375: 5.8% Cu and 1.8 g/t Au
Only limited exploration has been completed to date away from identified mineralization in the wider Arctic Chief Prospect area, providing Gladiator with an opportunity to consolidate multiple target areas through ongoing regional mapping, sampling and geophysical programmes aimed at further refining drill targets in the area.
Historical drilling was selectively sampled for high-grade copper only. Given the high-grade gold reported in recent rock chipping results (up to 10.10g/t Au), Gladiator will assay all future drilling and sampling for gold, silver, and molybdenum.
The company says recent field mapping and rock chip results show geological continuity of outcropping high-grade copper and gold mineralization in the wider area surrounding Arctic Chief where mineralization remains open both along strike and at depth at all the defined prospect areas.
