[{"type":"text","content":"Sterling Metals Commences Inaugural Drilling Program at Copper Road Project, OntarioTORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 26, 2025 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) (\"Sterling\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of its inaugural drill program at the Copper Road Project (the \"Project\") in Ontario. The fully funded, minimum 2,000-metre diamond drill program is scheduled to run until the end of April, targeting multiple high-priority zones. The program aims to test near-surface copper mineralization and its connection to a larger porphyry center at depth, as identified by extensive field and geophysical studies. Drilling will focus on key targets within the property's central corridor, covering an initial 2.5km x 1.5km x 1.5km target area within the broader 30 km-wide Project (Figure 1). This area hosts significant geophysical anomalies and historically underexplored zones, pointing to the potential for a much larger mineral system at depth.Mathew Wilson, CEO of Sterling Metals, commented, \"Recent political developments have cast a spotlight on Canada's vast but underutilized natural resource potential. With only 1% of the world's copper reserves1, we are alarmingly short on what is arguably the most essential metal for the global energy transition. At Sterling, we've been focused on strategically located exploration opportunities to unlock Canada's copper potential, an effort that ultimately led us to the Copper Road Project. What makes this project stand out is the rare combination of size and grade potential with unparalleled accessibility: 20 minutes off the Trans-Canada highway, and just 1 hour north of the US border. Exploration always carries tremendous risk, but we believe this initial target area within the 30km wide copper mineral system contains many of the key geological ingredients necessary to find a cornerstone copper asset in Canada.\"HighlightsA minimum 2,000-metre diamond drill program is underway, focusing on four initial high priority targets in the heart of the Project, covering a 2.5km x 1.5km x 1.5km footprint. Drill targets, as demonstrated in plan view chargeability map in Figure 2 include:Target 1 - Connection Between the Jogran Porphyry and Richards Breccia: This target features a large chargeability anomaly flanked by resistivity lows, linked to a significant Z...
