Ramp Metals

What Ramp Metals does

Ramp Metals Inc. is a publicly traded junior mineral exploration company headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia, and listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (RAMP) and US OTC Markets (RMPMF). The company's sole material asset is the 32,715-hectare Rottenstone SW property in the Rottenstone Domain of northern Saskatchewan, comprising 19 mineral claims targeting a potential new gold and copper district in a jurisdiction ranked by the Fraser Institute as Canada's most attractive for mining investment. Ramp Metals has made two discoveries since going public in April 2024: a high-grade gold intercept of 73.55 g/t Au over 7.5 metres at the Ranger target and a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-zinc-silver system at the Rush target, with mineralization confirmed in every drill hole across the 1,100-metre main Rush anomaly.

The company's technical program relies on a layered geophysical and drilling workflow: Xcite HTDEM airborne surveys at 100-metre line spacing for regional target generation, ground FLTEM surveys to delineate subsurface conductors along specific anomalies, borehole EM to identify off-hole extensions, and diamond drilling to test and expand targets. Five targets — Rush, Ranger, Rogue, Redridge, and Runway — are at varying stages of advancement, with permits in place for up to 150 additional drill holes through December 2027. Ramp Metals does not generate operating revenue; it is a pre-revenue grassroots explorer whose business model is to advance discoveries through systematic drilling and either sell, joint-venture, or partner the assets with major or mid-tier mining companies. Capital is raised through non-brokered private placements of flow-through and common shares, with Eric Sprott and EarthLabs acting as lead strategic investors across multiple rounds totaling approximately C$12.8 million since mid-2024.

Ramp Metals is led by CEO Jordan Black, a geotechnical engineer and former VP Business Development at the AI-driven exploration firm GoldSpot Discoveries Inc., supported by VP Exploration Garrett Smith and VP Operations Brett Williams, both Saskatchewan-registered geologists. Strategic advisors include Dr. Mark Bennett, founder of Sirius Resources (acquired for AUD$1.8 billion) and discoverer of the Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper mine, and Scott McLean, a 35-plus-year industry veteran. The customer base is effectively institutional and retail equity investors reached through TSXV and OTC Markets listings, Newsfile Corp press distribution, X and LinkedIn channels, CEO.CA investor networks, and downloadable corporate presentations — a standard event-driven junior resource go-to-market motion.

Core offering

Ramp Metals is a grassroots mineral exploration company that explores for and develops gold and copper deposits on its flagship 32,715-hectare Rottenstone SW property in Northern Saskatchewan. The company employs airborne and ground geophysical surveys and systematic diamond drilling to identify and advance mineralized targets, with the goal of selling or partnering discoveries with major mining companies. Key assets include the Ranger gold discovery (73.55 g/t Au over 7.5m) and the Rush VMS copper-zinc-silver discovery.

Product overview

Ramp Metals is a grassroots exploration company focused on developing a potential new Saskatchewan gold and copper district. The company operates its flagship Rottenstone SW property (32,715 hectares) featuring multiple mineralized targets: the Ranger target for high-grade gold (73.55 g/t Au over 7.5m discovery) and the Rush target for VMS-style copper-zinc-silver mineralization. Additional targets include Rogue, Redridge, and Runway. The exploration program utilizes airborne and ground geophysics, diamond drilling, and systematic sampling to advance the property toward resource definition.

• Troilus Gold: Troilus is a Canadian junior advancing a gold-copper project in Quebec with a similar pre-resource, district-scale thesis and reliance on equity financings to fund drilling.
• Arizona Metals Corp: Arizona Metals is a VMS-focused copper-zinc-gold explorer (Kay Mine, Sugarloaf Peak) targeting the same deposit style as Ramp's Rush target with a similar grassroots discovery profile.

Broad incumbents

• SSR Mining: SSR Mining is a mid-tier gold and base-metals producer (Seabee, Marigold) with prior Saskatchewan exploration exposure; VP Operations Brett Williams is a former SSR employee, and SSR represents the type of mid-tier acquirer Ramp would target.

• Denison Mines: Denison is a Saskatchewan-focused uranium exploration and development company (Phoenix, Wheeler River) operating in the same province and capital markets, though targeting uranium rather than gold/copper.

Emerging players

• Transition Metals Corp: Transition Metals is a multi-commodity Canadian explorer founded by strategic advisor Scott McLean; a directly comparable junior mining peer with similar Saskatchewan/Canadian focus and team lineage.
• Pacific Empire Minerals Corp: Pacific Empire is a BC-incorporated gold and copper explorer with director Peter Schloo serving on both boards; a closely comparable junior on size, jurisdiction, and team composition.
• Heritage Mining Ltd: Heritage Mining is a junior gold/copper explorer (Drayton-Black Lake, Contact Lake) operating in northern Ontario with director Peter Schloo as CEO, the most directly comparable junior by team and stage.
