[{"type":"text","content":"Starcore Announces New Drilling Begins on New Gold Target at El Creston in Opodepe, Sonora State, MexicoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 8, 2021) - Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX: SAM) (\"Starcore\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce the start of DDH exploration on its MEZTLI 4 and TEOCUITLA claims located in Opodepe, Sonora, Mexico (see Fig.1). This first stage explores five different veins that were discovered after more than eight months of geological works with more than 2000 samples taken (see Fig. 2), and assays and metallurgical tests done (Fig. 3), the results of which formed the direction of the current exploration program (see Fig. 4).As reported in its news release of August 17, 2021, the Opodepe project represents a three-dimensional prospect for Starcore with possibilities as a moly deposit, or as a property with gold showings, and thirdly as a project with the potential for copper porphyry at depth. These concessions of 11,364 hectares (the MEZTLI 4 claims) have never been explored for precious metals. With the acquisition of 3,087 hectares northwest of the MEZTLI 4 claims (the TEOCUITLA concessions), Starcore now has a total of 14,451 hectares to explore, with five veins identified thus far for the initial stage of drilling.Fig. 1 OPODEPE PROJECT LOCATIONTo view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/4479/102226_ed06d8d964ce1b29_002full.jpg Fig. 2 MAP SHOWING THE 5 VEINS TO BE EXPLORED FIRST STAGETo view an enhanced version of Figure 2, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/4479/102226_ed06d8d964ce1b29_004full.jpgFig. 3 TABLE OF ASSAYS LAB RESULTS# TargetsTargetClaimRecognized surface length (mt)Economic length (mt) SurfaceEconomic width (mt) SurfaceAu g/tAg g/t1Mana SystemMeztli 421003001.070.522502Karla System NW18152800.533.52133Nom5202000.554.19434El Guerigo18001100.980.111625San Gerónimo1961000.400.401206Midas VeinNew claims acquired5801900.730.201607La Aurora - La Espinada Veinold Dumps0.212418La ÚltimaOld mining non visited9El OroOther claim500700.5310.305  Fig. 4 DDH FIRST STAGE PROGRAMDDH SCHEDULE 2021TargetCompanyClaimHolesCategoryMetersMana SystemContractorMeztli 48Greenfield620NomMeztli 47Greenfield630El GuerigoMeztli 47Greenfield450KarlasMeztli 43Greenfield500MidasTeocuitla2Greenfi...
