[{"type":"text","content":"Sterling Metals Completes 3D IP Survey at Copper Road, Discovers New Outcrop Areas and Extends Mineralized FootprintTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2024 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) (\"Sterling\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the completion of its 5km x 3km 3D Induced Polarization (\"IP\") survey at the Copper Road Project (\"Copper Road\" or the \"Project\"), following its comprehensive summer field program. Dias Geophysical covered the central area of the Project, covering 15 square kilometres (Figure 1). New copper sulphide mineralization has been identified at surface, aligning with preliminary IP survey results and areas of high chargeability, showcasing the survey's effectiveness in detecting previously unexplored areas and underscoring its significance in guiding future exploration efforts.HighlightsNew Outcrop's Discovered Southwest of Richards Breccia Coincident with Preliminary IP Chargeability Anomalies - Among the 6 samples collected from outcrop across the anomaly, sample SCFS-24-144A includes 10cm of massive sulphide veining, while the other samples contain copper sulphides (chalcopyrite and bornite) along fractures and veinlets.Expanded Surface Sampling Campaign - Sterling has collected 103 new surface grab samples, adding to the 31 previously reported in a press release on October 29, 2024. These new samples, which bring the total to 134, include 52 currently in the lab, with the remaining en route for analysis.Extended Porphyry Footprint to 3km - Recent field mapping has now extended the footprint of porphyry occurrences on the Project from 2km to 3km with the discovery of new massive magnetite veins, adding a significant new feature to the project's geology.High-Resolution Drone Magnetic Survey Commencing - Sterling is now commencing a high-resolution drone magnetic survey in the area of interest to support additional detailed target definition ahead of drilling.Comprehensive IP Survey Results Expected in December - The final IP data, including a 3D inversion, is anticipated in December and is expected to provide a detailed outline of potential drill target areas identified through the survey.These new copper mineralized outcrops, IP chargeability anomalies and ongoing sample analyses further enhance the Company's understanding of mineralized zones on the property.
