Gladiator Metals Corp. announced it has staked 55 claims for 11.3 km2 at the Jackson Copper-Skarn Prospect (the "Jackson Prospect") located 15km to the west of existing claims at the Whitehorse Copper Project. The recent staking of the Jackson Prospect area covers approximately 6 km of prospective contact between Cretaceous intrusive bodies and Triassic metasediments which is the primary control on the formation of high grade copper (+/-gold/silver) skarn mineralization in the Whitehorse Copper district.

Areas of outcropping magnetite-copper skarn mineralization within the Jackson Prospect area have been subject to intermittent exploration by historical explorers including spatially constrained soil sampling, mapping, trenching and approximately 1,901m of diamond drilling in 24 drillholes. This historical work is supported by limited airbourne magnetics conducted by Precision Geophysics in 2014 which have highlighted more than 4.4 km of untested magnetic anomalism coincident with high magnetic response, areas of outcropping magnetite-copper skarns and the mapped contact between Cretaceous intrusions and Triassic limestones. This highlights the underexplored prospectivity of the Jackson prospect area which will be the subject of summer exploration programs. Gladiator has compiled the historic drilling at the Jackson Project in the 1970's and 80's. This collation identified high-grade magnetite copper-gold-silver skarn mineralization, that is strongly associated with the high-tenor magnetic anomalism with results including: KT-003: 6.12m @ 5.61% Cu, 1.03g/t Au and 247 g/t Ag from 55.14m.

KT-007: 10.67m @ 6.45 g/t Au from 71.02m within 21.88m @ 3.45 g/t Au. M-001: 1.99m @ 4.0 g/t Au from 19.35m. Drilling may have been improperly aligned to the mineralization, given that drilling was focused on a WNW line semi perpendicular to the magnetic anomaly resulting in some holes being drilled over the top or under the targeted mineralsaztion.

Gladiator believes that significant potential remains by re-orientation the drill lines (SW-NE). Outside of the drilled area, further, undrilled and underexplored mineralized target areas remain and are highlighted by high-grade copper skarn mineralization exposed on surface for over 6 km and include: Franklin Target: Located more than 2.6km to the east of historic drilling with rock chip samples in trenching to 9.4% Cu (6.36g/t Au) and 30% Cu. Hamilton Target: Rock Chip sampling in a road cut parallel to historic drilling with highlights including 3.48% Cu (10.4% Zn) and 1.64% Cu (41.9% Zn).

Janet Target: Located approximately 700m to the east of historic drilling. Previous claim holder completed rock chip sampling within a trench and on surface. In total 6 samples were collected.

Results from sampling returned up to 7.85% Cu, 16.59 g/t Au & 292 g/t Ag. Samples were associated with elevated Fe supporting that magnetics can be utilized as a direct targeting tool. The drill results and rock chip samples reported in this news release are historical in nature.

Gladiator has not undertaken any independent investigation, nor has it independently analyzed the results of the historical exploration work in order to verify the results. The Company believes that the historical drill results and rock chip sampling do not conform to the presently accepted industry standards. Gladiator considers these results relevant as the Company will use this data as a guide to plan future exploration programs. The Company also considers the data to be reliable for these purposes, however, the Company's future exploration work will include verification of the data through drilling.

Drill holes were drilled at various dips on variable, prospect specific, nominal grids. Gladiator obtained the drill records and logs from the Yukon Geological Survey archives, Yukon Archives & Other Government & Non-Government Sources which may or may not include copies of the original assay files and or certificates with results tabulated in the drill log or an analytical sheet. Data has then been digitally captured within an industry standard database and validated.
