Drills 7.4m of 1.01% Cu, 7.07% Zn, and 10.11 g/t Ag in 55m Step-Out Hole in Rush-015 and Drills 25.9m of Mineralization in Rush-012

Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) ("Ramp Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to report a 7.4m intercept grading 1.01% Cu, 7.07% Zn, and 10.11 g/t Ag over 7.4m from 129.6 to 137m in the Rush-015 drill hole at the Company's Rottenstone SW property. Rush-015 represents a 55m step-out to the South from the mineralization intersected in Rush-012 which returned 0.72% Cu, 11.99 g/t Ag, 1.71% Zn, and 0.41% Pb over 25.9m from 42 to 67.9m. The Company has also been approved for a reimbursement of $150,000 from the 2025-2026 Targeted Mineral Exploration Incentive (TMEI) program in Saskatchewan.

Key Highlights:

Rush-015: 7.4m (129.6-137m) of 1.01% Cu, 7.07% Zn, 10.11 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, and 0.11 % Pb
- Including 4.1m (129.6-133.7m) of 1.55% Cu, 9.57% Zn, 9.47 g/t Ag, and 0.03 g/t Au.
- Also intersected 1m (147-148m) of 2.19 g/t Au outside of the main mineralized intercept and located 11m from the end of hole (158m).
Rush-012: 25.9m (42-67.9m) of 0.72% Cu, 11.99 g/t Ag, 1.71% Zn, and 0.41% Pb
- Including a 4.5m (43-47.5m) copper-rich zone grading 2.03% Cu, 22.83 g/t Ag, and 1.58% Zn.
- Also including a 6m (54.5-60.5m) zinc-rich zone grading 5.04% Zn, 0.50% Cu, 12.60 g/t Ag, and 1.20%.
Rush-013: 4.0m (144.5-148.5m) of 0.78% Cu, 0.03% Zn, 15.18 g/t Ag, 0.29 g/t Au, and 0.01% Pb
- Also intersected 5m (122-127m) of 0.41% Cu, 0.04% Zn, 30.20 g/t Ag, 0.04 g/t Au, and 1.76% Pb.

"The mineralization intersected in Rush-015 represents the most significant high-grade intercept that we have intersected to date at Rush," stated Garrett Smith, VP of Exploration for Ramp Metals. "The location of the mineralization is important, as it extends the mineralization at depth and demonstrates a potential link between the two zones we discovered in the 2025 program."

The Company has now completed its 2026 winter/spring drill program. A total of 16 drill holes comprising 3,817.06m was drilled over 72 days. See Table 2 for coordinates, drill hole characteristics and current assay status. Six different anomalies across the property were tested; Rush, Rush Satellite 1, Rush Satellite 2, Runway, Redridge, and Ranger (Figure 1).

Rush-012

Drilled from the same location as Rush-011, Rush-012 was designed to test below and adjacent to the mineralization encountered in the 2025 drill hole Rush-010, which intersected 27m (18-45m) of 0.78% Cu, 1.91% Zn, 0.53% Pb, 12.71 g/t Ag (August 5^th, 2025 News Release). Rush-012 targeted beneath an outcrop found during the Fall 2024 field season, resulting in surface rock samples that returned values of up to 1.61% Cu, 113 g/t Ag, and 0.79 g/t Au (January 20^th, 2025 News Release).

Rush-012 intersected a significant interval of mineralization ranging from disseminated to semi-massive sulphides. Assays returned 25.9m (42-67.9m) grading 0.72% Cu, 11.99 g/t Ag, 1.71% Zn, and 0.41% Pb, including a 4.5m (43-47.5m) copper-rich zone grading 2.03% Cu, 22.83 g/t Ag, and 1.58% Zn. Rush-012 also included a 6m (54.5m-60.5m) zinc-rich zone grading 5.04% Zn, 0.50% Cu, 12.60 g/t Ag, and 1.20% Pb. This result extends the previously identified mineralization in Rush-010 at depth and remains open.

Rush-013

Rush-013 intercepts include 5m (122-127m) grading 0.41% Cu, 30.24 g/t Ag, and 1.76% Pb, along with 4m (144.5-148.5m) grading 0.78% Cu, 15.18 g/t Ag, and 0.29 g/t Au. Two other reportable intercepts were also encountered in this hole where disseminated sulphides were noted in the core. These intercepts include 1.5m (152-153.5m) grading 0.51% Cu, 21.10 g/t Ag, 0.58 g/t Au, and 5m (181-186m) grading 0.45% Cu, 3.04 g/t Ag. This extends the mineralization at depth and further to the west. Mineralization remains open.

Rush-015

Designed to test between the Discovery Zone (Rush-001, 002, 003, 009) and the mineralization encountered in Rush-010, 011, and 012, Rush-015 intersected 7.4m from 129.6 to 137m of 1.01% Cu, 7.07% Zn, 10.11 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, and 0.11 % Pb, including 4.1m from 129.6 to 133.7m of 1.55% Cu, 9.57% Zn, 9.47 g/t Ag, and 0.03 g/t Au. In addition, a 1m intercept of 2.19 g/t Au was returned from 147-148m, which is located outside the main intercept of mineralization. This 1m intercept is located only 11m from the end of hole, which terminated at 158m.

Rush-015 represents a 55m step-out to the South towards the Discovery Zone from the mineralized intercept in Rush-012 (Figure 2). This extends the mineralization along strike and at depth. Mineralization remains open.

QA/QC and Geochemical Sampling Procedure

All drill core samples are logged, photographed, and bagged on-site. Control samples consisting of certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's QA/QC protocol at a rate of 1:15 or better. Samples are transported by Manitoulin Transport to Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd.("BV"), an internationally recognized and ISO 17025:2017 accredited analytical services provider, at its Vancouver, British Columbia laboratory. The Company's QA/QC protocol is in addition to BV's QA/QC standard procedure.

Drill core samples were prepared using the PRP70-250 package, where samples are weighed, dried, and crushed to greater than 70% passing a 2mm sieve, then pulverized to greater than 85% passing 75 microns. Samples from Rush are analyzed in accordance with BV's FA330 (Au) and MA300 packages, for gold analysis by fire assay (30g fire assay with AAS finish) and multi-element ICP analysis (0.25 g, multi-acid and ICP-ES analysis). Gold returning >10ppm is automatically analyzed by gravimetric method in accordance with lab standard of practice. Copper and Zinc over limits were re-assayed using BV's MA370 package, a multi-acid digestion with ICP-ES finish.

Sampling of the remaining drill holes is progressing well. As core cutting is completed, samples will be shipped promptly to the lab for analysis.
