Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 29, 2026) - Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) (OTCID: RMPMF) ("Ramp Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to report the remainder of assays from the Company's 2026 drill program and the completion of camp construction at Rottenstone SW. A total of 3817m was drilled during the program with 2199m drilled over nine (9) holes at the main Rush target.

Rush Recap

Cu-Zn-Ag mineralization was intersected in every hole drilled at Rush during the 2026 winter drill program and a new deeper zone of mineralization was encountered. This new 'Deep Zone' begins at approximately 280m downhole and coincides with a modeled Maxwell plate that extends at depth.

The Rush discovery sits within a conductive HTDEM anomaly which measures approximately 1100m in length. Mineralization has been extended to approximately 250m along strike and is open both along strike, and at depth.

Casing was left in all drill holes for a follow-up borehole geophysics program. Borehole EM has been used in the past as an effective targeting tool when correlated with the mineralized zones downhole.

Highlights from the 2026 Winter Drilling Program

"With this final batch of assays, we have now received all results from the 2026 program," commented Jordan Black, CEO of Ramp Metals. "Hitting mineralization in every single hole at the Rush target this year is a clear validation of the system and reinforces our confidence in the potential scale and continuity of the mineralization. We are eager to return to this winter and aggressively expand the footprint as we continue to advance what we believe is a highly promising VMS target."

Camp Completion

JP Enterprises out of La Ronge, SK has completed construction of the temporary exploration camp at Keith Lake. The camp will be used as a base of exploration for the Company's planned 2027 Winter Drill Program, reducing the flight distance from its previous base of operations by ~50km.

"Having this camp as a new base of operations will greatly improve the efficiency of future drill programs on the Rottenstone SW property," stated Garrett Smith, VP of Exploration for Ramp Metals. "We expect to significantly reduce the amount of helicopter time which has been our largest expense in previous programs."

2027 Winter Drill Program

Mobilization for a planned 5000m winter drill program is scheduled to begin once ice conditions allow for ski-plane access to supply the camp. The Company anticipates this to be late January/early February based on discussions with the air services provider.

Remaining Assays from 2026 Drill Program

The Company has received the remaining assays from the 2026 drill program. Ranger-009 and Ranger-010 intersected zones of pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization with elevated Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Ag and Pd, and RR-002 at Redridge intersected a broad sulphide zone with weakly elevated Zn. No other reportable intercepts were returned from holes testing the Runway, Rush Satellite 1 (RS1-001) and Rush Satellite 2 (RS2-001) anomalies, or from RR-001 at Redridge. Casing remains in place in all of these holes for future borehole electromagnetic surveys.

Ranger-009, Ranger-010 & RR-002

Ranger-009 tested a strong conductor beneath a shear zone and a 2025 soil grid, intersecting four anomalous zones, within a structural corridor of graphite schist, fault gouge and cataclasite:

• 33.5-35.1m [1.6m]: 0.42% Zn, 0.026% Cu, 0.04% Ni, 0.02 g/t Pd
• 122-127m [5.0m]: 0.21% Zn, 0.07% Pb, 2.8 g/t Ag
  • including 125.0-125.5m [0.5m]: 15.5 g/t Ag, 0.89% Zn, 0.57% Pb
• 140-145m [5.0m]: 0.37% Zn, 0.05% Cu, 0.06% Ni, 0.02 g/t Pd
  • including 143.5-145m [1.5m]: 0.51% Zn, 0.079% Cu, 0.09% Ni, 0.03 g/t Pd
• 179-182m [3.0m]: 0.33% Zn, 0.10% Pb, 1.5 g/t Ag

Note: core length; true width unknown

Sphalerite was noted in logging at 34-35m, and the conductor appears to be explained by the presence of graphite and sulphide within the shear zone. The Cu-Ni-Pd zones and the Zn-Pb-Ag zones show different metal associations, which could suggest more than one style of mineralization.

Ranger-010 was drilled from the same pad as Ranger-009 and intersected a similar but lower-grade zone at 128-130m [2.0m]: 0.33% Zn, 0.05% Cu, 0.04% Ni, 0.02 g/t Pd, 2.2 g/t Ag. Both zones lie at similar elevations about 150m apart, however metal grades are stronger east, toward Ranger-009.

RR-002 (Redridge) intersected a pyrrhotite-pyrite zone in a mafic volcanic unit from 85.5 to 105.5m [20.0m], averaging 0.068% Zn, 0.02% Cu and 0.02% Ni. Within the drill holes, Zn grades encountered were up to 0.36% Zn over 0.5m from 99.5 to 100m.

Ranger-009 and Ranger-010 were drilled along an east-west line, leaving the target untested further to the east and north. The Company believes this area is prospective for future follow-up exploration.

Runway

The Runway target is a series of discrete EM conductors along a NE-SW structure. Surface sampling over one of these conductors returned a grab-sample grading 0.183 g/t Pt, 92 ppb Pd, and 825 ppm Ni. The Company drilled a single drill hole (RW-001) where sections of disseminated to blebby sulphides were encountered downhole. Most of the sulphides encountered consisted of pyrrhotite and pyrite, however trace amounts of chalcopyrite were logged in core (Figure 3). While the presence of chalcopyrite did not result in any notable copper grades in this drillhole, the Company believes future exploration is needed.

Correction to Previously Reported Results

Grades for Rush-014 (284.3-287m), Rush-016 (112.5-114.9m) and Rush-019 (139-143m & 123-151.23m) in the Company's news release dated August 4, 2026, were misstated due to a calculation error and are corrected in the table below.

QA/QC and Geochemical Sampling Procedure

All drill core was logged and photographed on-site. The core was then sawn, with half-core samples placed in sealed bags for shipment to the laboratory and the remaining half retained in the core box. QAQC 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 were 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 were 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). Samples outside of Rush were analyzed with the same analytical packages, but with the addition of Pt and Pd to BVs FA330 analytical package. Gold returning >10ppm is automatically analyzed by gravimetric method in accordance with lab standard of practice. Copper, zinc, and lead over limits were re-assayed using BV's MA370 package, a multi-acid digestion with ICP-ES finish.

Copper-equivalent grades were calculated using metal prices of US$5.00/lb copper, US$1.30/lb zinc, US$0.85/lb lead, US$3,500/oz gold and US$45.00/oz silver. Metallurgical recoveries of 80% were assumed for all metals. The assumed recoveries have not been confirmed by metallurgical test work, and CuEq values are presented for comparative purposes only. The following equation is used to calculate CuEq values: CuEq = copper(%) + (zinc(%) x 0.260) + (silver(g/t) x 0.0131) + (gold(g/t) x 1.021) + (lead(%) x 0.170).
