Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 12, 2024) - Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) (FSE: ZX7) ("Gladiator" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, as a result of demand, it has increased the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (see news release dated June 5, 2024).

Gladiator now intends to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$12,000,000 (the "Offering") through the issuance of:

Gladiator intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to fund its continued exploration program at its Whitehorse Copper Project in the Yukon including diamond drilling for:

  • "continued diamond drilling of advanced prospects Cowley Park and Chief's Trend with the intention of establishing a maiden initial inferred resource" and

  • "new exploration drilling at potential high-grade copper targets along the Whitehorse Copper Belt defined from historical drilling and aeromagnetic surveying"

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 21, 2024, and is subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
