Gladiator Extends High-Grade Copper Skarn Mineralization 250m to the East at CowleyVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 8, 2025) - Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) (FSE: ZX7) ("Gladiator" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from 19 drill holes, totalling 4,772 metres at its Cowley prospect.SUMMARY Drilling has confirmed and extended high-grade copper skarn mineralization by over 250 meters east along the strike of Cowley’s “Southern Limb”. Drill assays from 19 holes include: 119m @ 0.84% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 6.89 g/t Ag and 562 ppm Mo (from 48 m’s) including 63m @ 1.06% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au, 9.44 g/t Ag and 741 ppm Mo (CPG-102D7). Gold and molybdenum are showing improvement as drilling extends eastward at Cowley. Recently returned assays from drilling at the southern limb of Cowley has confirmed and extended the continuity of high-grade mineralization by more than 250 metres along strike to the east. Strong copper, gold & molybdenum mineralization was intersected from near surface. Results include:CPG-102D7 returned 119.0m @ 0.84% Cu & 562 ppm Mo from 48m, including: 63m @ 1.06% Cu 0.13 g/t Au, 9.44 g/t Ag & 741 ppm Mo from 48m; or39m @ 1.29% Cu 0.17 g/t Au, 11.98 g/t Ag & 909 ppm Mo from 72m; or20m @ 1.71% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au, 15.36 g/t Ag & 1,139 ppm Mo from 91m; plus16m @ 1.17% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, 7.00 g/t Ag & 897 ppm Mo from 151m.CPG-102D6 returned 76.1m @ 0.82% Cu from 39.9m, including: 38m @ 1.28% Cu 0.10 g/t Au, 12.77 g/t Ag & 221 ppm Mo from 56.0m; or15.95m @ 2.07% Cu, 0.15 g/t Au, 19.42 g/t Ag & 473 ppm Mo from 78.05m. CPG-102D5 returned:17.5m @ 1.67% Cu 0.42 g/t Au, 13.31 g/t Ag & 882 ppm Mo from 61.5m; or12.0m @ 2.34% Cu, 0.60 g/t Au, 18.72 g/t Ag & 1,242 ppm Mo from 65.0m, plus12.0m @ 0.66% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, 4.50 g/t Ag & 229 ppm Mo from 89.0m.Step out drilling collared approximately 250m east of the CPG-102 series holes intersected significant high-grade copper and gold mineralized skarn confirming the underexplored eastern strike potential of the Cowley Southern Limb. Results include:CPG-118 returned:13.2m @ 1.50% Cu 0.50 g/t Au, 10.16 g/t Ag & 314 ppm Mo from 99.8m; Incl.11.0m @ 1.74% Cu, 0.59 g/t Au, 11.81 g/t Ag & 360 ppm Mo from 101.0m, or5.0m @ 2.91% Cu, 0.6 g/t Au, 19.54 g/t Ag & 611 ppm Mo from 107m, Plus7m @ 0.55% Cu from 119m.Ongoing step out drilling focused on delivering a maiden resource at Cowley continues to return significant mineralized intercepts from recent drilling. Results include:CPG-104D3 returned 16.0m @ 0.86% Cu % 0.83 g/t Au from 33m including: 4.0m @ 2.58% Cu, 3.26 g/t Au, 10.80 g/t Ag & 240 ppm Mo from 33.0m.Gladiator CEO Jason Bontempo commented:"Drilling at the Cowley 'Southern Limb' is proving up high-grade copper mineralization further along strike to the east and to near surface with improving gold grades and high-grade molybdenum over broad widths. These promising results continue to impress our hard-working geological team and show the high-grade near-term resource potential of the Cowley prospect which demands more drilling to test its ever-growing size."Hole CPG-102D7 shows very broad disseminated high-grade copper and molybdenum mineralization near surface, and once metallurgy work is complete, we anticipate it will impress on a copper equivalent grade basis. Hole CPG-104D3 proves that we have not yet reached the boundaries of resource potential of Cowley which has with this round of drilling been 250m to the east with higher gold grades."In the next week or so drilling at the Whitehorse Copper Project will cease for the holiday break and will re-commence in late January 2026. It's been a busy year for all with over 50,000m drilled and I personally thank all the efforts of our hard working and talented technical team located in Whitehorse, the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, Ta'an Kwäch'än Council and the City of Whitehorse community for their support enabling us to advance the High-Grade Whitehorse Copper project in 2025"1 Refer News Release Dated 12th May 2024 "Gladiator Intersects 14m @ 3.13% Copper and 0.69g/t Gold, Extending High-Grade Copper-Gold Mineralization at Cowley Park to the North-East by 250m".COWLEY DRILLINGThe Phase 2 drilling program is ongoing at the Cowley prospect. This release covers 19 additional holes for 4,772 metres (Refer Figure 1-2 and Table 1). Phase 2 drilling is designed to:Confirm and test the continuity of near-surface, high-grade copper mineralization, with an aim to define high-grade copper resources.Validate the continuity of high-grade domains previously encountered within the Cowley prospect, while also evaluating the exploration upside and potential for repeated mineralized zones.Test for significant exploration upside, including the potential extensions to known high-grade copper skarn mineralization, as well as recently identified sub-parallel trends.Assess the previously unrecognised resource potential of endoskarn copper mineralization at Cowley, which has not been systematically ta
