GLAD Extends Southern Limb Mineralization at Cowley Park Last week, Gladiator Metals Corp. (Ticker: GLAD.v or GDTRF for US investors) released additional high-grade copper-gold drill results from its Phase 2 drilling program at the Cowley Park prospect, part of the company’s Whitehorse Copper Project in Yukon.
Expanding the Southern Limb
Recent drilling confirmed continuous high-grade mineralization over more than 400m of strike, extending the Southern Limb by over 150m eastward.
Highlighted intercepts include:
-
14.0m @ 2.36% Cu, 2.78 g/t Au, 22.37 g/t Ag, and 1,516 ppm Mo from 33m, including 8.0m @ 3.58% Cu and 4.80 g/t Au (Hole CPG-102D3).
-
20.0m @ 1.72% Cu from 136m, including 14.0m @ 2.21% Cu (Hole CPG-099).
-
47.1m @ 0.69% Cu from 126.5m, including 5.2m @ 1.88% Cu and 0.28 g/t Au (Hole CPG-097).
Building Toward a Resource Estimate
CEO Jason Bontempo commented that the latest assays reaffirm the project’s strong near-surface copper grades and consistent mineral continuity at the Southern Limb. He also noted that increasing gold grades to the east could positively affect overall project economics, alongside potential silver and molybdenum by-product credits.
Four drill rigs are now active across the 35km-long Whitehorse Copper belt—two at Cowley Park and two testing regional targets. Additional results from the Valerie and Little Chief prospects are anticipated soon.
Regulatory Progress and Next Steps
The Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (YESAB) has recommended approval of Gladiator’s Class 3 permit application. Once finalized, it will allow the company to expand infill and step-out drilling at Cowley Park in preparation for a maiden resource estimate targeted for Q2 2026.
The Whitehorse Copper Project encompasses more than 30 copper-related occurrences near the city of Whitehorse. Historical production between 1967 and 1982 totalled 267.5M lbs Cu, 225,000 oz Au, and 2.84M oz Ag from 10.5M tonnes milled. Gladiator plans up to 29,000m of drilling across Cowley Park, Chiefs Trend, Arctic Chief, and regional zones through 2025.
