(\"Starr Peak\" or the \"Company\")\n \n (TSXV: STE) (OTC: STRPF) is very pleased to announce a 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 Owing to significant high-grade volcanogenic massive sulfide (\"VMS\") intercepts in the Company's first drill holes,\n \n Starr Peak\n \n announces an increase in its drilling program from 5,000 to 20,000 metres on the NewMétal project. The Company also has three drill rigs in operation.\n \n \n \n Johnathan More\n \n , Chairman and CEO of\n \n Starr Peak\n \n commented, \"We are very excited by the drilling to date on the NewMétal project. The width and high grades of this massive sulphide body are very encouraging and point to significant potential at depth on the NewMétal property. We are eagerly awaiting to receive assays back from the lab from several holes that have recently been drilled. Our technical team has determined that a combination of airborne and borehole electro-magnetic (\"BHEM\") surveys are highly effective targeting tools for this type of mineralization and are returning a very high success rate. We will continue to use BHEM to vector towards massive sulfide mineralization, next to the prolific past-producing Normétal Mine. In addition, as part of our expanded drilling program,\n \n Starr Peak\n \n will test regional gold targets where grab sampling has returned values up to 157.0 g/t Au on the Turgeon L...
