(TSXV: GLAD) (OTC Pink: GDTRF) (FSE: ZX7) (\"Gladiator\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce an update to its ongoing data compilation of historic drilling and the identification of the largely untested shallow, high-grade, Arctic Chief Prospect, at the historically producing Whitehorse Copper Project. HISTORICAL DRILL RESULTS - ARCTIC CHIEF PROSPECT:Historical drill intersections at Arctic Chief external to the previously mined areas includes mineralization that remains open both along strike and at depth, with best results including:AC-015: 17.1m @ 1.52% Cu from 26.49mAC-013: 13.35m @ 1.42% Cu from 20.85mAC-051: 6.79m @ 3.14% Cu Fr 80.47mAC-035: 6.71m @ 2.24% Cu Fr 29.44mRECENT MAPPING AND CONFIRMATORY ROCK CHIP RESULTS - ARCTIC CHIEF PROSPECTGeological continuity of outcropping high-grade copper and gold mineralization in the wider area surrounding Arctic Chief has been established by recent field mapping and rock chip results where mineralization remains open both along strike and at depth at all of the defined prospect areas and include:13.3% Cu and 5.53g/t Au (H678364 - ~110m Nth of West Pit)8.05% Cu and 10.1g/t Au (H678301 - ~80m SW of West Pit)4.69% Cu and 4.46g/t Au (H678374 - ~140m SSE of East Pit)5.8% Cu and 1.8g/t Au (H678375 - ~130m SSW of East Pit)Only limited exploration has been completed to date away from identified mineralization in the wider Arctic Chief Prospect area, providing Gladiator with an opportunity to consolidate multiple target areas through ongoing regional mapping, sampling and geophysical programs aimed at further refining drill targets in the area.Historical drilling completed by the operator was selectively sampled for high-grade copper only. Given the high-grade gold reported in recent rock chipping results (up to 10.10 g/t Au - Sample H678301), Gladiator intends to assay all future drilling and sampling for additional credits including gold, silver and molybdenum which were proven contributors to the economics of historic operations.Gladiator CEO, Jason Bontempo, commented: \"Gladiator is pleased to have identified another priority ...
