(TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) (\"Sterling\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from the first of four diamond drill holes (MJ-25-01) recently completed at its newly renamed Soo Copper Project (\"Soo Copper\" or the \"Project\"), formerly Copper Road, located in Batchewana Bay, Ontario. The hole has successfully demonstrated a continuous, bulk-tonnage copper-molybdenum-silver-gold (\"Cu-Mo-Ag-Au\") target, called the GFP Porphyry (\"GFP Porphyry\"), highlighting the Project's significant mineral potential.Highlights:Broad, near-surface zone of high tenor chalcopyrite-bornite copper mineralization starting at 14.3m (overburden to 13.3m) grading 0.36% Copper Equivalent (CuEq) over 359m including 0.56% CuEq over the first 75m of this interval (see Table 1).Copper mineralization is associated with a multi-porphyry intrusive complex composed of a newly discovered well mineralized, early syn-mineral stage felsite porphyry, and two intramineral porphyries.A 130m interval of mafic tuff unit containing large patches of biotite-magnetite-chalcopyrite-bornite mineralization plus chalcopyrite veining beginning at less than 200m vertical depth grading:0.43% CuEq over 40.4m starting at 249.6m0.56% CuEq over 26.5m starting at 347.0mThe tuff represents an ideal host rock for mineralization, highly permeable and well-altered with preserved bornite-rich mineralization suggesting strong vectoring potential toward the core of a porphyry center.Copper mineralization encountered throughout the entire length of the drill hole.Assay results for the remaining three holes are pending and will be released once received.The Soo Copper Project lies at the intersection of the Midcontinent Rift and the southwestern extension of Kapuskasking Fault Zone, a highly prospective setting historically known for smaller-scale but high-grade copper production at the former Tribag and Copper Corp mines, which anchor either end of the 30km long property. Since their respective mine closures in 1974 and 1972, fragmented ownership and consequent patchwork-type drilling efforts did not encourage the ...
