Executive Summary

  • Starr Peak Mining released VTEM survey results for the Copper Clive project, identifying ten anomalous conductive zones, including a high‑potential cluster of two–three trends (200‑500 m strike) near magnetic highs.
  • The company has staked three new claims and entered an agreement on a fourth to secure land hosting the historic Norcopper showing; drilling is planned to test these targets.
  • Parallel work at the 100% owned NewMetal property highlights 12 geochemically anomalous zones (VMS‑type, precious‑metal, and gold anomalies) that intersect VTEM anomalies, generating priority drill targets for the next campaign.

Key Details

  • VTEM Survey (Copper Clive):
  • Conducted heliborne in 2025; supervised by Matthew Penney, P.Geo., Hardrock Geophysics.

  • Identified 10 anomalous conductive areas, with one cluster showing:

    • Two‑three conductive trends, strike length 200–500 m each.
    • Fixed strikes not tied to formation boundaries.
    • Located on flanks of magnetic highs, suggesting structural corridors.

  • Land Positioning:

  • New claims staked: 2855722, 2855723, 2855724.

  • Additional claim 94628 (hosting Norcopper showing) secured via agreement.

  • CEO Comment (Starr Peak): “The survey has returned promising results… further drilling will reveal the property’s true potential.”

  • NewMetal Property – Soil & Geochemical Work:

  • Exploration commenced per July 7 2025 press release.

  • Prior soil surveys (June 2024) identified 12 priority areas:

    • 3 VMS‑type zones enriched in Zn, Cd, Pb, In (minor As, Bi, Sb).
    • 5 precious‑metal zones with Ag, Pb enrichment; minor Cu, Au; Fe depletion.
    • 4 gold‑anomalous zones.

  • Priority Drill Targets on NewMetal:

  • West of Normetmar – continuation of eastern VMS anomaly (Amex Exploration).
  • Vicinity of VTEM anomalies intersected by hole STE‑22‑98.

  • Vicinity of hole STE‑22‑112, which returned anomalous gold in granodiorite pluton de Normetal.

  • Historical Context:

  • 2022 Normetmar deep VMS discovery and new BHEM deep plate remain focus for upcoming drilling.

  • Company has drilled >61,000 m to date across the district.

  • Qualified Person Statement:

  • Alexis Paulin Bissonnette, Ing (OIQ 5037621), reviewed geological information per NI 43‑101.
  • Historical resources are disclosed as historical only; not classified under current NI 43‑101 standards.

Notable Quotes

“With our neighbour’s, Amex Exploration’s, recent surge in share price, there will be unprecedented interest coming to this district… we have drilled in excess of 61,000 metres to date, and we are thrilled about further work ahead.” – Johnathan More, Chairman & CEO, Starr Peak Mining Ltd.
