welcome to CEO insights I'm Marilyn dezman with investing news.com I'm speaking with Jordan black CEO of ramp Metals a battery Metals exploration company currently focusing on its n tkat assets great to have you Jordan thanks for having me today it's great to be here so since this is the first time that we're having a conversation maybe it's a good time to uh provide an overview of ramp metals and your investor value proposition yeah sure so I'm Jordan black CEO of rant medals uh


my background is I'm a Geotech engineer for 10 plus years got into the Venture Capital space and really fell in love with uh junior exploration and uh that's why I helped found rant Metals we have a a great property in Northern SAS scaton it's a nickel copper PG potential we're about 30 km from the old rotten Stone mine that mine was uh produced some of the highest grade Nickel in the country at 3.26% and it was a small pod so everyone was always wondering where is the rest of it and we've we ran geophysics and we


think we uh we found a good location where um a pause it could be potential world class and uh that's where we targeted our drills so you're currently focused on your assets in Saskatchewan and Caton has been gaining popularity mainly because of its uranium deposit you're exploring for nickel and copper and other green energy Metals why is a scaton a compelling jurisdiction for these Metals yeah that's that's a great question so first of all it's a tier one jurisdiction no matter what uh Metals


you're going for um but with everyone looking for Uranium everyone has blinders on for base Metals um so it leaves the door open for exploration on the base metal side and it it comes with some Advantage uh the labs aren't as backed up on the Bas metal side um and there's more properties available and and that's how we were able to uh stake this land and uh ourselves and explore it and um now we're out drilling um I'm not sure if your viewers are aware but we recently went public as well so uh


rent medals was formed about two years ago when we stake the properties uh fast forward to uh a week and a half ago we listed on the TSX D under the ticker symbol uh RM ramp so that was a huge milestone for us so maybe this is a good time to talk about your assets and the specific uh properties that you have there what makes them promising yes so our flag ship is the rotten Stone Southwest property that's the property we're currently drilling uh we've already completed over a th000 meters of drilling uh at our core asset


and what was was really compelling about our Flagship is when we ran our geophysics uh we discovered this eye magnetic eye structure with a beautiful em conductor in the middle uh which forms the eye and that was at near near surface so that was really compelling and to take this our story even further it looked very similar to the Nova Bullinger ey that was discovered by Mark Bennett uh and him and serious resource sold it for 1.8 billion uh this was in Australia and it's funny that it even uh


strikes in the same direction not that that means anything but it was very compelling and a lot of similarities so we contacted um Mark Bennett in the summer and we asked him what do you think of this would you be willing to join our team and he was just uh he was surprised at the similarities between our project and his um so we've built this worldclass advisory team including Mark uh himself to help Mentor us through this discovery process process we also brought on uh Scott mlan who um did a lot of the work at the subur


nickel camp and recently Richard Murphy as well um who's another geologist and uh we're a team we're a small team but we have these great technical advisors on our team as well so what are your plans for 2024 yeah great question so uh the plan is uh the team is going to finish logging um the core out the facil facility once that's done and the drilling program is done our core will be sent uh to the lab to get assays um the proof in the property is really the grades we'll wait to see what comes back


there um and then we've only drilled four holes so what we'll want to do in the summer is an extensive ground geophysics program and then once we can correlate that with the holes we just drilled uh we would Target a bigger program so this this drill program was targeted uh or permitted up to 2,000 meters of drilling the next program we' want to do call it 5,000 or 10,000 meters of drilling and really Define what's what's under the surface there so this is a question that I ask all the


CEOs that I talked to you know for ramp Metals why is this a good time for uh investors to be looking at ramp metals and why is it a compelling investment opportunity at this time yeah so I think we're in a very valued space at at this time uh battery medals are really ramping up uh you you've seen Samsung and other big major companies invest in Canada in the nickel space um so rat Metals is positioned itself um to find that highgrade nickel um a lot of this lowgrade nickel that comes from overseas


it's not as favorable in battery metals and at rat medals we really put together the best team uh I I feel in the world that can go find that next resource well thanks Jordan for joining me and talking about your company today thank you thanks for having me and thank you everyone for watching join us again next time on CEO insights if you like this video make sure you subscribe to our Channel and turn on notifications so you don't miss future updates and interviews see you next [Music] time
