(\"Starr Peak\" or the \"Company\")\n \n (TSXV: STE) (OTC: STRPF)\n \n \n is pleased to announce another significant expansion to its ongoing drilling campaign on its NewMétal property (\"\n \n NewMétal\n \n \" or \"\n \n the Property\n \n \"), located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of\n \n Quebec\n \n near the town of Normétal. The NewMétal project also includes the past-producing Normétal Mine, from which ~10.1M tonnes of 2.15% Cu, 5.12% Zn, 0.549 g/t Au, and 45.25 g/t Ag were produced (Boivin, 1988).\n \n \n With the ongoing drilling campaign returning encouraging results and the availability of numerous untested targets ready to drill,\n \n Starr Peak\n \n announces an increase in its fully funded drilling program from 40,000 to 60,000 metres on the NewMétal project.\n \n \n \n Johnathan More\n \n , Chairman and CEO of\n \n Starr Peak\n \n commented, \"Additional targets have been defined and will be drilled in order of priority. The ongoing drilling campaign will increase the comprehension of the Normétal-Normetmar associated mineralization and vectors towards it. We are looking forward to seeing the upcoming results on the highly prospective Newmétal property.\"\n \n \n Drilling continues on the project targeting the deep new discovery zone below\n \n 600m\n \n vertical depth and systematic drilling of the Normetmar Upper zone above\n \n 400m\n \n vertical depth. An exploration plan of the prolific Normetmar-Normétal lithological contact within the property is currently underway, taking into account 2021 new massive sulphide interceptions.\n \n \n \n Figure 1\n \n :\n \n Longitudinal Section of the Normétal Past-Producing Mine and Normetmar Satellite Deposit.
