Gladiator upsizes flow-through offer to $12 million

The private placement announced by Gladiator Metals TSXV: GLAD; OTC: GDTRF) last week has been upsized to $12 million from $10 million.

The goal will be reached with the issuance of 17 million charity flow-through shares at a price of $0.61 per share and 4.1 million non-flow-through shares at a price of $0.40 each.

Gladiator is active at the Whitehorse copper project near the Yukon capital of the same name. The flow-through money will be used at the Cowley Park target and the Chiefs trend (Middle Chief and Little Chief).

Cowley Park is a high-grade copper-molybdenum find with a strike length of about 700 metres. Drilling has returned copper grades between 1.5% and 2% across broad widths. The mineralization is open in all directions.

Chiefs trend is a shallow, high-grade copper-gold target.

Historical exploration at the Whitehorse copper project resulted in a non-compliant resource estimate of 10 million tonnes at 1.5% copper plus gold and silver credits. The project was mined by open pit (1967-71) and from underground (1972-82). There are 30 known deposits and prospects within a contiguous 35- by 5-km area.

Gladiator optioned the Whitehorse copper project in 2022 and later earned a 100%-interest in the property. The company expects its current offering to close on or about June 21 subject to customary closing policies.
