ABOUT RAMP METALS INC.
Ramp Metals is a battery and base metal exploration company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) with two flagship properties located in northern Saskatchewan. The management team is passionate about green field exploration and new technologies. The vision of Ramp Metals is to make the next big discovery required to fuel the green technology movement.
The following is a description of the two flagship properties of Ramp Metals, Rottenstone SW and PLD:
Rottenstone SW
Located in the Rottenstone domain, this land package is a series of properties along a regional NE-SW structure that is believed to be controlling the mineralization at the historic Rottenstone Mine, which produced 40,000 tons of high grade nickel-copper-platinum group elements plus gold (Ni-Cu-PGE +Au) ore grading 3.28% Ni, 1.83% Cu and 9.63 g/t (Pt-Pd-Au). The team has recently retained the services of Axiom Exploration Group to complete an 800km airborne time domain electromagnetics (TDEM) geophysical survey and is expecting results shortly.
PLD
Located in the Peter Lake Domain (PLD) within the Swan River complex, the PLD target is interpreted as an eroded magma chamber that could have served as a pooling station for magmatic nickel sulphides. The Saskatchewan mineral deposit index notes a surface grab sample of gabbro outcrop with disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite (SMDI 5545): values of 1860 ppm Cu, 461 ppm Ni, 41 ppb Pt, 49 ppb Pd. Previous shallow drilling intercepted a thick section of gabbro and 7.1m of disseminated sulphides at the edge of the chamber. A historical VTEM survey conducted by Geotech Ltd. outlined compelling targets. The EM anomaly consists of two parts: Northern and Southern with the strike length of the anomalies of 500m and 700m, respectively. The PLD property is fully permitted for a fall 2023 drill program.
