(TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) (FSE: ZX7) (\"Gladiator\" or the \"Company\") received initial assay results from first pass drilling targeting recently identified gravity anomalies at the Valerie and Little Chief prospects at the Whitehorse Copper Project1.SUMMARYMultiple, previously unknown copper-gold skarn and intrusive related mineralized trends identified in first drilling targeting extensive gravity anomalies at Valerie and Little Chief.Significant intrusive related copper mineralization intersected in maiden drilling at the 2-km Valerie trend including 15.8m @ 0.85% Cu in chalcopyrite veined intrusive that exhibits porphyry characteristics.Newly identified intrusive hosted gold mineralization also identified with results including 1m @ 13.35 g/t Au and 1m @ 7.64 g/t Au to the west of the Little Chief Pit.Drilling to the east of the historic Little Chief Mine has intersected high levels of chalcopyrite (plus minor bornite) mineralization hosted entirely within a highly brecciated section of the intrusive (assays pending).Additional rig now mobilized at Valerie and Little Chief to rapidly advance new target definition in conjunction with Induced Polarization (IP) Geophysical surveys that have commenced.Gladiator CEO, Jason Bontempo, commented: \"Gladiator's first drilling of new gravity targets at Little Chief and Valerie1 has intersected multiple zones of new mineralization with multiple copper (+/-magnetite) skarns flanking the margins of an intrusive body hosting significant mineralization that exhibits copper-porphyry signatures.These multiple zones of intrusive related copper-gold and molybdenum mineralization are associated with multi-phased intrusive systems, intersected at Cowley, Valerie & Little Chief that lie 12km apart within the 100% owned 35km Whitehorse Copper Belt. These newly identified mineralization styles are potentially indicative of copper-porphyry systems within the copper belt.As a result, an additional rig is being mobilized to rapidly advance targeting in the Valerie/Little Chief area taking the total to four rigs turning where two of diamond drill rigs are currently focused on ongoin...
