‍Gladiator Metals 24,000 Meter Drill Program Targets Maiden Resource for Yukon Copper Project

Published

on

Canada, 13th Feb 2025 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Gladiator Metals. Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSX-V: GLAD) (OTC: GDTRF) (FSE: ZX7) is rediscovering the long-forgotten Whitehorse Copper Belt, lying dormant for nearly 40 years.

After a successful 2024 drill program confirmed that the high-grade copper deposit remains open in all directions, GLAD will begin drilling its Whitehorse Copper Project to determine its true size potential

An aggressive 24,000m drill program budgeted for 2025 will seek to expand the current known deposit and Gladiator will begin work on a maiden resource for its high-grade copper prospect Cowley Park.

‍The White Horse Copper Project hosted a past-producing underground and open pit mine from 1967-1982, employing over 200 Yukoners. They extracted 10.5 million tons at around 1.5% copper and almost a gram per ton of gold. The mine was shut down in 1982 when the copper price fell from $1.04 to $0.68/lb. in the wake of the oil crisis.

“We picked up this project almost 2 years ago,” Gladiator President Marcus Harden told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “It’s been a forensic exercise, compiling and understanding the historical data. We found advanced targets drilled by Hud Bay, sometimes down to 12 X 12-meter spacing. We tested new area, and now have numerous advanced resource-ready prospects.”

“We have confirmed that Cowley Park has the potential to be a real, sizeable, near-surface high-grade copper deposit,” added Harden. “The 19,000-meter Phase 1 & Phase 2 drill program we have planned for 2025 is going to give us a much clearer picture of the size potential of this project.

 

Phase 1 drilling (10,000 meters planned) at the advanced high-grade copper prospect Cowley Park will focus on:

  • Targeting the strike and down dip extensions to the high-grade exoskarn identified in the 2024 drill program at Cowley Park. 
  • Resource definition; and 
  • Expanding the Cowley Park footprint.

Phase 2 drilling (9,000 meters planned) at Cowley Park will be scheduled and planned for the second half of 2025 and will focus on delivering a maiden resource as soon as possible.

Recent drilling and geophysical programs have led to an expanded interpretation of the geological model used to explore Cowley Park.

The new model supports a significant enlargement of the exploration potential of Cowley Park.

Three newly identified geophysical anomalies will be drill-tested as part of the 2025 drill program.

“In 2024 we successfully extended high-grade mineralization along strike and at depth and identified three new, highly prospective geophysical targets which promise to significantly expand the known extents of Cowley Park if successful,” stated Gladiator CEO, Jason Bontempo.

This work confirmed our belief that Cowley Park will deliver a material cornerstone high-grade copper resource inventory within our 35-kilometer-long Whitehorse Copper Project, where we are targeting over 100 million tonnes of high-grade copper resources along the belt.”

Recent drilling and geophysical results have caused the Gladiator geologists to re-interpret the geological model used to explore Cowley Park.  The new model supports a significantly enlarged exploration potential of Cowley Park

The 2024 drill program has confirmed Gladiator’s belief that mineralization is now open at depth and along strike and is not constrained as implied by the previous model.

GLAD has found a high-grade core (see below image) with spectacular grades in an area that was previously believed to be barren/truncated.

On December 16, 2024, Gladiator announced drill results from its maiden drill program on the two-kilometer “Arctic Chief Trend”, one of 30 identified exploration targets within the Company’s 35-kilometer-long Whitehorse Copper Project. 

Gladiator completed 13 holes (2,441 meters) drilled on new targets including 6 holes at the Arctic Chief prospect and 7 drill holes at the Best Chance prospect. 

“The discovery of previously unrecognized, broad widths of mineralization at two separate prospects highlights the lack of systematic exploration coverage across our 35-kilometer-long Whitehorse Copper Project,” stated Bontempo. “This early success indicates the potential of the district now that it is being targeted by a well-funded, dedicated technical team for the first time since mine closure in the 1980s.”

“Our fully funded 2025 exploration program will include follow-up drilling designed to target higher grade mineralized zones within the broader envelope of lower grade copper-skarn mineralization,” added Bontempo.

In October 2024, Gladiator announced that they have entered into a Capacity Funding Agreement with the Kwanlin Dun First Nation (KDFN) for the initial phase of permitting and undertaking ongoing exploration activities within KDFN’s traditional territory in connection with GM’s Whitehorse Copper Project.

“The Capacity Funding allows KDFN to supplement their existing in-house expertise with outside experts to review and critique our plans,” explained Olav Langelaar, Gladiator VP Corporate Development. 

“We look forward to continuing to work with Gladiator Metals through KDFN’s meaningful engagement in the ongoing permitting and exploration phase of the project,” stated KDFN Chief Sean Uyenets’echᶖa Smith.

The KDFN is combining environmental stewardship with ambitious business objectives, including the expansion of the Sky High Wilderness Ranch and a strategic portfolio development fund.

I’m extremely pleased and proud that we are now formally engaged with KDFN to outline the process of working together towards a Benefits, Cooperation and Foundation agreement for a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership during the exploration phase of the Whitehorse Copper Project in a manner respectful of the KDFN’s rights and interests, including all environmental protections,” stated Bontempo.

In conjunction with its partnership with the KDFN, Gladiator is expanding its community outreach initiatives to include:

  • Organization of multiple public events such as community appreciation barbecues, open houses.
  • Educational tours of the Whitehorse Copper Project for families and students.
  • Participation in and support of Every Student, Every Day, to foster student attendance in Yukon schools, Yukon Geoscience and Women in Mining Family Day. 
  • Sponsorship of recreational teams including Lights Out Basketball, Sub Zero Volleyball, Glacier Bears Swim Club, and Indigenous Sports Circle.
  • Financial support and ongoing patronage of businesses that promote social inclusion and training opportunities such as Core Box Yukon, where attendees develop new skills and competencies.
  • Development of prototype and pre-production of biodegradable cloth bags to ecologically improve sampling methods used in mineral exploration in the Yukon.
  • Environmental remediation of the WCP site, which includes the removal of derelict vehicles and decades of accumulated garbage.

“We budgeted $300/meter for the 2024 drill program at Cowley,” Harden told GSN. “The costs came in lower, at $260/meter, which includes labour, rig and assays. Our proximity to drill rigs, machinery and skilled labour allows us to drill more meters within a fixed budget.”

CGTN: How China’s ‘two mountains’ concept is shaping global green development

Published

on

CGTN published an article exploring the significance of China’s “two mountains” concept, a green growth philosophy that is central to the country’s ecological efforts and serves as an inspiration for global sustainable development.

Erik Solheim recalled that over a decade ago, he was too worried about smog in Beijing to even run outdoors. Today, the former executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme makes time for morning runs whenever he returns to the city.

During a jog this year, Solheim noted that most vehicles on the road were “quiet, pollution-free, cost-effective” new energy vehicles, a visible transformation that reflects a deep shift in China’s green growth philosophy – one rooted in a concept articulated by President Xi Jinping: “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.”

The “two mountains” concept, which literally means green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver, has become a guiding principle for China’s ecological efforts and a source of inspiration for sustainable development worldwide.

As President Xi has said, “Harmony between man and nature is a defining feature of Chinese modernization. China is a steadfast actor and major contributor in promoting global green development.”

A philosophy that guides real change

First put forward in 2005 during Xi’s visit to Yucun Village in east China’s Zhejiang Province, the “two mountains” concept has transformed from a local slogan into a cornerstone of China’s national strategy.

Today, China leads the world in renewable energy deployment. It had installed nearly 1.889 billion kilowatts of total renewable capacity by the end of 2024, including approximately 887 million kilowatts of solar, 521 million kilowatts of wind and 436 million kilowatts of hydropower, which accounted for 56 percent of the nation’s total power capacity and supplied about 35 percent of its electricity generation.

The “two mountains” concept has sparked interest well beyond China. A global opinion poll released by CGTN, covering 24,515 respondents from 48 countries, showed that 81.6 percent of global respondents believe the concept has broken the traditional “polluting first and cleaning up later” model of growth.

Clifford Cobb, a leading ecological economist in the United States, has closely followed China’s environmental path. He believes the idea presents a new model of development.

“Over the past 20 years, China has proven that it’s possible to protect nature while generating economic value,” Cobb said. “It’s a win-win vision the world can learn from.”

Promoting international cooperation for a greener future

China’s green development vision is helping power global cooperation. A vivid example can be found on the vast steppes of northern Kazakhstan’s Akmola Region, where renewable energy is transforming the local economy.

Engineer Khasabay Kinlosan is part of that change. Every day, he maintains more than 40 wind turbines that are part of a major Belt and Road cooperation project between China and Kazakhstan. These turbines produce over 800 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, cutting carbon emissions by 650,000 tonnes.

As the Belt and Road Initiative moves into a new stage of high-quality development, the “two mountains” philosophy is finding growing resonance abroad.

Almas Chukin, a prominent Kazakh economist, says the concept struck a chord with him. “China has become a leader in solar and wind power, and it is addressing global challenges such as climate change through action, not just words,” he said.

China’s commitment to a shared green future goes far beyond Central Asia. It has supported low-carbon development and ecological capacity building in more than 100 developing countries, particularly small island nations and African states.

Through multilateral platforms like the South-South Climate Cooperation Initiative and the Belt and Road’s Green Development Partnership, China is exporting not only technologies but also growth models and sustainability know-how.

Its contributions to global biodiversity are equally notable. In 2022, China hosted COP15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, helping broker the landmark Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. UN officials noted that the agreement’s success owes much to China’s long-standing emphasis on a “whole-of-society” approach to environmental governance.

“President Xi’s ecological civilization thought holds great theoretical value and has also proven highly effective in practice,” said Eliason Kaganga, a Tanzanian scholar focused on protecting Lake Victoria. “China’s solutions – especially those that empower local people – are bringing lasting benefits to African countries and communities.”
