Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2026) - Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) (" Ramp Metals " or the " Company ") is pleased to report a 21m intercept grading 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn, 0.23 % Pb over 21m from 50.5 to 71.5m in Rush-011 drill hole. Rush-011 was the first drill hole completed in the ongoing winter drill program at the Company's Rottenstone SW property in Saskatchewan.

Key Highlights:

Rush-011 intercept of 21m (50.5-71.5m) of 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn, and 0.23 % Pb
including 3m (51-54m) of 1.50% Cu, 24.15 g/t Ag, 0.15 g/t Au, and 0.51% Zn. also including 3.5m (59.5-63m) of 1.02% Cu, 21.00 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.39% Zn, and 0.33% Pb
VMS style mineralization encountered in every hole drilled on the 1100m long main Rush anomaly during the ongoing drill program.

Following up a successful 2025 drill campaign that resulted in the Rush VMS discovery, the Company is currently conducting a drill program aimed at further delineating the mineralized zones at Rush. Preliminary results indicate continuity between the two zones identified in 2025 and have led to the identification of a new, deeper zone situated west of the previously known mineralization (Figure 1).

Rush-011 and 012

Drilled from the same location, Rush-011 and 012 were 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 ). These holes 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 New Release ).

Rush-011 and 012 both intersected significant intervals of VMS style mineralization. Rush-011 returned 21m (50.5-71.5m) grading 0.80% Cu, 17.01 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.73% Zn, 0.23% Pb. Including 3m (51-54m) grading 1.50% Cu, 24.15 g/t Ag, 0.15 g/t Au, 0.51% Zn, 0.12% Pb. Additionally, the interval includes 3.5 meters (59.5-63m) grading 1.02% Cu, 21.00 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.39% Zn, and 0.33% Pb. This result extends previously identified mineralization at surface and in Rush-010 at depth and remains open (Figure 2).

Rush-012 tested below and along strike to the SE of Rush-010 mineralization. Rush-012 intersected a broad zone of VMS style mineralization (assays pending). Examples of the mineralization encountered in Rush-012 can be seen in Figures 3-5.

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 semi-massive and localized zones of massive sulphides over 4.1m from 129.60 to 133.70m (Figure 6).

Rush-018

Designed to test and extend the mineralization at depth beneath the Discovery Zone (Rush-001, 002, 003, 009), Rush-018 encountered a broad zone of VMS style mineralization ranging from disseminated to massive sulphides. A section of massive sulphide mineralization from Rush-018 can be seen in Figure 7 below.

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 Companies 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 over limits were re-assayed using BV's MA370 package, a multi-acid digestion with ICP-ES finish.
