Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2026) - Gladiator Metals Corp. (TSXV: GLAD) (OTCQB: GDTRF) (FSE: ZX7) ("Gladiator" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has applied to the National Stock Exchange of Australia ("NSX") to issue and list (the "Listing") CHESS Depositary Interests (each, a "CDI") to facilitate direct trading and investment in the Company by investors in Australia, and to enhance international investor awareness of the Company.

The Company did not seek exemptive relief to remain eligible to rely on the exemptions contained in sections 4.4(1)(a) and 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101.

The Company expects to complete the Listing in Q3 2026, and will provide further updates as its application progresses.
