Sterling Metals Completes 3D IP Survey at Copper Road, Discovers New Outcrop Areas and Extends Mineralized Footprint
Sterling Metals has completed a 5km x 3km 3D Induced Polarization (IP) survey at the Copper Road Project, revealing new copper sulphide mineralization at surface. Key developments include: discovery of new outcrops southwest of Richards Breccia, collection of 134 total surface grab samples, and extension of the porphyry footprint from 2km to 3km. The company has identified massive sulphide veining and copper sulphides in collected samples, with 52 samples currently being analyzed in the lab.
A high-resolution drone magnetic survey is commencing, and comprehensive IP survey results are expected in December. The project area, situated between two past-producing mines, has never undergone systematic exploration below 200m depth despite positive historical drill results.
Sterling Metals ha completato un sondaggio 3D di polarizzazione indotta (IP) 5 km x 3 km presso il Progetto Copper Road, rivelando una nuova mineralizzazione di solfuri di rame in superficie. I principali sviluppi includono: la scoperta di nuovi affioramenti a sud-ovest della Richards Breccia, la raccolta di 134 campioni superficiali totali e l'estensione dell'area di porfido da 2 km a 3 km. L'azienda ha identificato vene di solfuri massivi e solfuri di rame nei campioni raccolti, con 52 campioni attualmente in fase di analisi in laboratorio.
Un sondaggio magnetico ad alta risoluzione con drone sta per iniziare e si prevedono risultati completi dell'indagine IP a dicembre. L'area del progetto, situata tra due miniere precedentemente operative, non ha mai subito un'esplorazione sistematica al di sotto dei 200 m di profondità, nonostante i positivi risultati storici dei sondaggi.

La empresa ha identificado vetas masivas de sulfuros y sulfuros de cobre en las muestras recolectadas, con 52 muestras actualmente en análisis en el laboratorio.
Se iniciará una encuesta magnética de alta resolución con dron, y se esperan resultados completos de la encuesta IP en diciembre. El área del proyecto, situada entre dos minas previamente en producción, nunca ha sido sometida a una exploración sistemática a más de 200 m de profundidad a pesar de los positivos resultados históricos de perforación.
스터링 메탈즈는 구리 도로 프로젝트에서 5km x 3km 규모의 3D 유도 폴라리제이션(IP) 조사를 완료하여 표면에서 새로운 구리 황화물 광물을 발견했습니다. 주요 개발 사항에는 리차드 브레치아의 남서쪽에 새로운 노출의 발견, 총 134개의 표면 샘플 수집, 그리고 포피리의 범위가 2km에서 3km로 확장된 것이 포함됩니다. 이 회사는 수집된 샘플에서 대량의 황화물베인과 구리 황화물을 식별했으며, 현재 52개의 샘플이 실험실에서 분석 중입니다.
고해상도 드론 자기 조사가 시작될 예정이며, 포괄적인 IP 조사 결과는 12월에 발표될 것으로 예상됩니다. 이 프로젝트 지역은 과거에 생산된 두 개의 광산 사이에 위치하고 있으며, 긍정적인 역사적 시추 결과에도 불구하고 200m 깊이 이하에서 체계적인 탐사에 나선 적이 없습니다.

Sterling Metals hat eine 5 km x 3 km umfassende 3D-Induzierte Polarisation (IP)-Untersuchung im Copper Road Project abgeschlossen, die neue Kupfererzlagerstätten an der Oberfläche aufgedeckt hat. Wichtige Entwicklungen umfassen: Entdeckung neuer Aufschlüsse südwestlich der Richards Breccia, Sammlung von insgesamt 134 Oberflächensamples und eine Erweiterung der Porphyrfläche von 2 km auf 3 km. Das Unternehmen hat massive Sulfidgang und Kupfersulfide in den gesammelten Proben identifiziert, wobei derzeit 52 Proben im Labor analysiert werden.
Eine hochauflösende Magnetuntersuchung mit Drohnen wird beginnen, und umfassende IP-Untersuchungsergebnisse werden im Dezember erwartet. Das Projektgebiet, das zwischen zwei früheren Produktionsminen liegt, hat trotz positiver historischer Bohrergebnisse noch nie eine systematische Erkundung in einer Tiefe von über 200 m erfahren.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2024 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) ("Sterling" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its 5km x 3km 3D Induced Polarization ("IP") survey at the Copper Road Project ("Copper Road" or the "Project"), following its comprehensive summer field program. Dias Geophysical covered the central area of the Project, covering 15 square kilometres (Figure 1). New copper sulphide mineralization has been identified at surface, aligning with preliminary IP survey results and areas of high chargeability, showcasing the survey's effectiveness in detecting previously unexplored areas and underscoring its significance in guiding future exploration efforts.
Highlights
New Outcrop's Discovered Southwest of Richards Breccia Coincident with Preliminary IP Chargeability Anomalies - Among the 6 samples collected from outcrop across the anomaly, sample SCFS-24-144A includes 10cm of massive sulphide veining, while the other samples contain copper sulphides (chalcopyrite and bornite) along fractures and veinlets.
Expanded Surface Sampling Campaign - Sterling has collected 103 new surface grab samples, adding to the 31 previously reported in a press release on October 29, 2024. These new samples, which bring the total to 134, include 52 currently in the lab, with the remaining en route for analysis.
Extended Porphyry Footprint to 3km - Recent field mapping has now extended the footprint of porphyry occurrences on the Project from 2km to 3km with the discovery of new massive magnetite veins, adding a significant new feature to the project's geology.
High-Resolution Drone Magnetic Survey Commencing - Sterling is now commencing a high-resolution drone magnetic survey in the area of interest to support additional detailed target definition ahead of drilling.
Comprehensive IP Survey Results Expected in December - The final IP data, including a 3D inversion, is anticipated in December and is expected to provide a detailed outline of potential drill target areas identified through the survey.
These new copper mineralized outcrops, IP chargeability anomalies and ongoing sample analyses further enhance the Company's understanding of mineralized zones on the property. The Company anticipates that once the IP data inversion and the drone mag survey are complete, a key milestone in the program will be achieved. The Company will look to match soil and prospecting results with historical exploration data and new magnetic, chargeability and resistivity targeting. Bookmarked between two past producing mines, this area of the Project has never seen a systematic exploration program of this nature and despite positive historical drill results, has never been tested below 200m.
