Ramp Metals (TSX-V:RAMP) has expanded its Rottenstone SW property in Saskatchewan, Canada, by 32% after adjoining land recently became available for staking.
The company says it has since secured four additional claims totalling 10,562 hectares, bringing its total Rottenstone SW land package to 43,277 hectares.
Garrett Smith, vice president of exploration, points out that the new claims are contiguous to the Rush discovery.
Located at the northern part of the property, Rush was discovered during the October 2024 field program, where one surface sample returned up to 1.61% copper, 0.79 gram per tonne gold, 113g/t silver, 1.23% lead, and 0.64% zinc.
“The regional rock packages strike in a northeast-southwest direction, and we feel this gives us the best opportunity to stay within the same stratigraphic horizon where we found Rush,” Smith comments on the new claims.
The claim acquisition follows Ramp’s completion of an exploration camp at the property, ahead of a planned 5,000m winter drilling program in 2027.
Separately, the company says it plans to settle an outstanding debt of C$120,000 ($122,684) owed to an arm’s-length creditor through the issuance of 400,000 shares.
Ramp Metals owns 100% of the 43,277-hectare Rottenstone SW property in northern Saskatchewan, subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty.
