[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2026) - Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX: SAM) (\"Starcore\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the initiation of an airborne geophysical survey over its San Martin mining concessions in Querétaro State, Mexico, operated through its wholly owned subsidiary, Compañía Minera Peña de Bernal S.A. de C.V. The Company has retained Expert Geophysics Surveys Inc. to conduct an airborne Mobile Magnetotelluric (MobileMT) survey across the San Martin project area. The survey will comprise approximately 711 line-kilometres of helicopter-supported data acquisition, covering an area of approximately 99.13 square kilometres. Survey Parameters The MobileMT survey has been designed to provide high-resolution subsurface resistivity data to support geological interpretation and exploration targeting. Key survey parameters are as follows: Survey type: Airborne Mobile Magnetotelluric (MobileMT) Total coverage: approximately 711 line-km Line spacing: 150 metres Tie-line spacing: 1,500 metres Line orientation: approximately 090°–270° Tie-line orientation: approximately 000°–180° Platform: helicopter (Airbus AS350 series) Sensor terrain clearance: approximately 50–60 metres Survey speed: approximately 80 km/h Depth of investigation: up to approximately 2 kilometres, depending on subsurface conductivity Data acquisition is expected to be completed within approximately one week, subject to weather and operational conditions. Final processed data products are anticipated within approximately eight weeks following completion of the survey. Purpose of the Survey The MobileMT survey is intended to improve the Company's understanding of the structural and lithological framework of the San Martin district. The program is designed to: Identify deep structural features associated with known mineralization; Delineate potential extensions of mineralized vein systems beneath cover; Map resistivity contrasts related to hydrothermal alteration; Generate targets for follow-up drilling at depth and along strike. The MobileMT survey is expected to provide a step-change in the Company's ability to map the continuity and depth extent of mineralized structures and to identify new drill targets within the broader San Martin structural corridor. Geological Setting The San Martin deposit is a structu...
