The drilling operations have resumed at the advanced Cowley Park copper prospect with two rigs in operation to explore the high-grade mineralization. A total of 5,000m of drilling is planned as part of a fully funded 13,000m summer drill program across four sections at Cowley Park to target resource potential and exploration upside in high-grade copper skarn mineralization. Recent Induced Polarization (IP) surveys have identified new, shallow chargeability anomalies that will be tested for potential copper sulphide bodies. Assay results from previous drilling at the Little Chief and Arctic Chief prospects are pending.
Gladiator CEO, Jason Bontempo, stated that following the successful completion of the Company’s $9m private placement, Gladiator has initiated a Phase 1, fully funded 13,000m summer drilling campaign. The goal is to test exploration targets and extensions of high-grade copper-skarn mineralization at key prospects including Cowley Park, Arctic Chief, Best Chance, and the Cub trend. Two drilling rigs are currently operating at Cowley Park to explore known mineralization and new drill targets identified through geological work.
A comprehensive drilling program at Cowley Park is set to confirm continuity of high-grade copper mineralization, test new chargeability anomalies, explore potential resource extensions, and assess economic potentials of other minerals. Geological modelling has revealed areas with significant exploration potential within the prospect. In addition, drilling will focus on follow-ups on recent chargeability anomalies from IP surveys at Cowley Park.
The Summer Exploration Strategy involves furthering drilling campaigns at key targets within the Whitehorse Copper Project. Gladiator aims to establish high-grade copper skarn resources by conducting exploratory and resource definition drilling at Cowley Park, Arctic Chief, Best Chance, and the Cub trend. The drilling will be supported by geophysical programs to refine targeting in prospect areas.
Quality assurance and quality control measures ensure the reliability of data collected during the drilling activities. Gladiator’s Vice President Exploration, Kell Nielsen, as a qualified person, has reviewed and authorized the scientific and technical information in this release. The Company is committed to using historical drilling data to guide future exploration and resource development activities.
