[{"type":"text","content":"Sterling Metals Commences Deep Orion 3D Geophysical Survey at Sail PondTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2023 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) (\"Sterling Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced its 2023 field exploration program at the Sail Pond Silver and Base Metal Project in the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland. Following up on the recent discovery at Heimdall North, the Company has engaged Quantec Geoscience to conduct an Orion 3D Swath DCIP and MT survey. The survey is designed to identify larger bodies of mineralization close to mineralization intersected in recent drilling and to map both host rocks and important structures down to a depth of up to 2 kilometers. The survey will cover 42 line kilometers and is expected to last 2 months (Figure 1).Goals of the 2023 Field Program and Initial SurveyIdentify potential high-grade feeder zones as exploration targets proximal to Heimdall and Heimdall North Zones;Identify new targets along the mineralization trend; andProvide 3D interpretation of key geological controls on mineralization.Mathew Wilson, CEO of Sterling Metals, commented: \"Our 2022 drill program highlighted two key findings. First, we identified two significant high-grade corridors consisting of quartz veins of exceptional grades and brecciated dolostone within Heimdall. Second, the discovery of 100% sulfosalt veining 500 m north of Heimdall demonstrates the strength of the fluid flow carrying these incredible high grades, suggesting that areas with more porous host rocks are likely to contain more high-grade fluid. The Orion survey will give us a detailed and deep look at the geological features controlling the high grade silver mineralization. The hope of this high resolution Orion survey is to provide a clear connection between the high grade mineralization in our near surface drilling to potentially larger pools of metal at depth. Our team is focused on executing a very well-designed exploration strategy to ensure that our 2023 drill campaign is one defined by many great successes.\"Figure 1: Planned Orion 3D Survey Area at the Sail Pond Project 2023 Field ExplorationMultiple zones of mineralization have been discovered at Sail Pond and the next phase of exploration is targeting larger accumulations of metal close to the zones.
