Gladiator Metals Corp. reports exploration and permitting developments for the Whitehorse Copper Project in Yukon. Company news centers on drilling, assay results, and target generation across Cowley, Cub East, Little Chief, Valerie, Great Southern, and related prospects in the Whitehorse Copper Belt.
Recurring updates describe copper-gold-magnetite skarn mineralization, molybdenum and silver credits, resource delineation work, and geophysical programs using gravity and induced polarization surveys. News also covers Yukon exploration permitting, including the Class 3 Quartz Exploration Permit, and the company’s use of expanded drill access to test extensions, near-surface zones, and new targets within the project area.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB:GDTRF) reported first drill results from the new Cub East discovery at the Whitehorse Copper Project. Three holes intersected long, high-grade copper-gold-silver skarn zones, including 24m @ 3.03% Cu and 1.08 g/t Au from 190m.
Six holes (1,638m) have now been completed at Cub East, with assays for three holes. According to the company, mineralization shows more than 300m of strike continuity and remains open, supported by strong IP and gravity anomalies. Over 45,000m of drilling is planned in 2026, including 8,000m for resource delineation at Cowley.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB: GDTRF) will begin a fully permitted, fully funded drilling program in April 2026 with an initial 35,000 metres planned under a Class 3 permit. Cowley delineation (min. 8,000m), expansion at Cub East and first-pass testing of the district-scale Great Southern target are priority objectives.
Cub East earlier returned notable hits including 44.2m @ 1.69% Cu (incl. 27m @ 2.56% Cu). Great Southern shows a gravity anomaly >2km by 1.2km and a defined IP chargeability over ~600m.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB: GDTRF) received a Class 3 Quartz Exploration Permit from the Government of Yukon for its Whitehorse Copper Project on a five-year term. The permit follows a positive YESAB recommendation and consultation with Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council.
The permit enables >40,000 m of 2026 drilling focused on Cowley and Cub East, aims to report a maiden NI 43-101 inferred copper resource for Cowley in 2026, and leverages historical production and nearby infrastructure.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB: GDTRF) reported assays from 32 drill holes (8,072m) at Cowley, highlighting near-surface, continuous high-grade skarn mineralization. Key intercepts include 92m @ 1.03% Cu from 2m within a 130m interval in hole CPG-112D2, plus multiple strong molybdenum, gold and silver credits. The system footprint is stated as >1,200m strike, 450m width and 300m depth and remains open in all directions. A new sub-parallel zone with >600m untested strike was identified. Definition drilling continues under a Class 1 permit and a maiden resource is scheduled for 2026 pending Class 3 permitting.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB: GDTRF) announced a new Cub East discovery on the Whitehorse Copper Belt from five maiden drillholes (1,411m) that all intersected copper-gold-magnetite skarn. Key intercepts include 44.2m @ 1.69% Cu, 0.93 g/t Au & 15.39 g/t Ag from 173.8m (incl. 27m @ 2.56% Cu, 1.44 g/t Au) and 17.7m @ 1.76% Cu, 0.69 g/t Au from 176.3m. Mineralization is defined over >300m strike and ~300m down-dip, sits within an 800m coincident IP+gravity anomaly, and remains open. Company validated gravity+IP targeting and plans follow-up drilling when the program resumes in February 2026, backed by funding for ~50,000m of 2026 drilling.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB: GDTRF) reported assays from 19 drill holes (4,772 m) at the Cowley prospect that confirm and extend high‑grade copper skarn mineralization >250 m to the east along the Cowley "Southern Limb".
Key intercepts include 119m @ 0.84% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 6.89 g/t Ag, 562 ppm Mo (from 48m) including 63m @ 1.06% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au, 9.44 g/t Ag, 741 ppm Mo (CPG‑102D7), plus step‑out 13.2m @ 1.50% Cu, 0.50 g/t Au (CPG‑118) and 16m @ 0.86% Cu, 0.83 g/t Au (CPG‑104D3).
Phase 2 definition drilling aims for a maiden Cowley resource in 2026 pending Class 3 permit approval; additional assays and remaining 102‑series results are expected in the coming weeks.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB: GDTRF) released further Phase 2 drill results from Cowley Park dated October 29, 2025, covering 16 holes (4,837m). Drilling confirms continuity of near-surface high-grade copper-gold skarn mineralization over >400m and extends the southern limb >150m east.
Key intercepts include 14.0m @ 2.36% Cu & 2.78 g/t Au from 33m (CPG-102D3), 20.0m @ 1.72% Cu from 136m (CPG-099) and multiple wider intervals supporting a maiden resource target planned for Q2 2026. YESAB issued a recommendation to proceed to a Class 3 permit, moving to EMR for final decision.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB: GDTRF) reported new IP and expanded gravity survey results identifying two large, previously undrilled targets: Great Southern (~2.0 km by 1.2 km) ~1.5 km south of Cowley Park, and Doozy (two gravity nodes over ~600 m strike) NW of Little Chief. Both targets show intense chargeability coincident with strong gravity responses and were blind to prior exploration.
Drilling is being prioritized and expected to start later this week. The company says it closed a $22.5M financing and has ~$8M treasury, funding exploration into end-2026. Ongoing program expanded to 48,000 m total drill plan; maiden NI 43-101 resource targeted Q2 2026.
Gladiator Metals (OTCQB:GDTRF) has announced significant discoveries from its first drilling program at the Valerie and Little Chief prospects within the Whitehorse Copper Project.

The company has mobilized an additional drilling rig, bringing the total to four, and is fully funded with a $22.5M financing plus $8M treasury for exploration until end-2026. The project spans a 35km copper belt near Whitehorse, Yukon, with historical production of 267.5M pounds copper, 225,000 ounces gold, and 2.8M ounces silver. Gladiator aims to report its maiden NI 43-101 compliant resources by Q2 2026.
