[{"type":"text","content":"Sterling Metals Intercepts Porphyry Copper in Final Three Holes of the Drill Program at Soo CopperMineralized Porphyry Dyke Swarm Tagged Across Greater than 1km of Strike Length TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / June 26, 2025 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) (\"Sterling\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from the remaining three holes of the four diamond drill holes (CH-25-01, MJ-25-02 and MJ-25-03) recently completed at the Soo Copper Project (\"Soo Copper\" or the \"Project\") located in Batchewana Bay, Ontario. The holes have expanded on the high-grade copper zone intersected in the first hole (MJ-25-01) and successfully demonstrate the presence of a large, well-mineralized copper-molybdenum-silver-gold (\"Cu-Mo-Ag-Au\") porphyry system.Highlights:All four holes from the inaugural drill program intersected extensive porphyry copper mineralization (Figures 1 and 2).The mineralized structural corridor has now been traced over 1km of strike and more than 300m vertically from surface and remains open in all directions (See Figure 2).Hole CH-25-01 was drilled into a resistivity low approximately 1km from previously reportedMJ-25-01 (0.36% Copper Equivalent (\"CuEq\") over 359m including 0.56% CuEq over the first 75m of this interval ) and 200m from historic drill holes R2301 (38.6m of 1.06% Cu and 0.07 g/t Au) and R2304 (50.2m of 0.88% Cu and 0.09 g/t Au), and intersected 107.5m grading 0.31% CuEq, including 30.3m at 0.74% CuEq.Follow up holes MJ-25-02 and MJ-25-03 intersected long mineralized intervals, including 198m grading 0.30% CuEq in MJ-25-02 and 120m grading 0.30% CuEq in MJ-25-03, indicating the presence of an extensive mineralized structure related to the emplacement of a large, well-mineralized porphyry system.The strongest copper mineralization is associated with a 3-phase porphyry dyke swarm (\"GFP Porphyry\"), indicating a highly permeable, magmatic-hydrothermal structural corridor (See Table 1: Bornite 1,2, and 3).Highest copper concentrations are consistently associated with permeable pathways in the host rocks; future drilling will focus on targeting high-permeability zones along the structural corridor, particularly zones of mineralized breccias.The Company is working towards initiating its next drill program anticipated to commence in the next eight weeks.Jeremy Niemi, Senior Vice ...
