Gladiator Metals (OTCQB: GDTRF) has announced the discovery of several significant untested copper-gold skarn targets from its recent gravimetric geophysical survey at the Little Chief Trend, part of the Whitehorse Copper Project. Key targets identified include the Valerie anomaly, which spans 2 kilometers, the LC Footwall target, measuring 900 meters, and the LC Gravity Offset, extending 400 meters.
The newly identified targets are located near the historic Little Chief copper mine, known for its previous production of 8.5 million tons with a copper grade of 1.5% and gold content of 0.75 grams per ton. Gladiator plans to kick off a comprehensive exploration program, which involves deploying two diamond drill rigs in the coming weeks as part of a planned 29,000-meter drilling campaign for 2025.
This exploration initiative is aimed at advancing the Cowley Park prospect towards a maiden resource estimate while uncovering the broader potential of the 35-kilometer Whitehorse Copper Belt. Gladiator's fully funded program underscores their commitment to expanding their knowledge of the region’s untapped mineral resources, taking advantage of existing infrastructures such as roads and the Yukon power grid.
