Ramp Metals Drills 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.73% Zn over 21m in Rush-011
Rhea-AI Summary
Ramp Metals (OTC: RMPMF) reported a 21m intercept from Rush-011 grading 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn, 0.23% Pb (50.5–71.5m), including higher-grade 3m and 3.5m subintervals. The hole extends Rush-010 mineralization at depth and confirms VMS-style mineralization across the 1,100m main Rush anomaly. Rush-012 assays remain pending; a new deeper zone west of known mineralization was identified and the program continues.
Positive

- High-grade subintervals of 3m @ 1.50% Cu and 3.5m @ 1.02% Cu
- VMS mineralization encountered in every hole on the 1,100m Rush anomaly
- Rush-011 extends and confirms continuity with Rush-010 at depth
Negative
- Assays pending for multiple holes (Rush-012 through Rush-019)
- No NI 43-101 resource estimate reported; project remains early-stage

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2026) - Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) ("Ramp Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to report a 21m intercept grading
Key Highlights:
- Rush-011 intercept of 21m (50.5-71.5m) of
0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au,0.73% Zn, and 0.23 % Pb- including 3m (51-54m) of
1.50% Cu, 24.15 g/t Ag, 0.15 g/t Au, and0.51% Zn. - also including 3.5m (59.5-63m) of
1.02% Cu, 21.00 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au,0.39% Zn, and0.33% Pb
- including 3m (51-54m) of
- VMS style mineralization encountered in every hole drilled on the 1100m long main Rush anomaly during the ongoing drill program.
Following up a successful 2025 drill campaign that resulted in the Rush VMS discovery, the Company is currently conducting a drill program aimed at further delineating the mineralized zones at Rush. Preliminary results indicate continuity between the two zones identified in 2025 and have led to the identification of a new, deeper zone situated west of the previously known mineralization (Figure 1).

Rush-011 and 012
Drilled from the same location, Rush-011 and 012 were designed to test below and adjacent to the mineralization encountered in the 2025 drill hole Rush-010, which intersected 27m (18-45m) of
Rush-011 and 012 both intersected significant intervals of VMS style mineralization. Rush-011 returned 21m (50.5-71.5m) grading

QA/QC and Geochemical Sampling Procedure
All drill core samples are logged, photographed, and bagged on-site. Control samples consisting of certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Companies QA/QC protocol at a rate of 1:15 or better. Samples are transported by Manitoulin Transport to Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd.("BV"), an internationally recognized and ISO 17025:2017 accredited analytical services provider, at its Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. The Company's QA/QC protocol is in addition to BV's QA/QC standard procedure.
Drill core samples were prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where samples are weighed, dried, and crushed to greater than
