[{"type":"text","content":"Sterling Metals Provides Year End Update to StakeholdersTORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / December 19, 2025 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) (\"Sterling\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to share an open letter from CEO and Director, Mathew Wilson to stakeholders of the Company.Dear Sterling Stakeholders,This year marks the most significant milestone to date in our exploration journey.Over the past twelve months, we advanced a copper project that has fundamentally changed the trajectory of the Company and allowed us to deliver on our long-standing objective of uncovering meaningful copper potential in Canada. In mineral exploration there is a saying: \"giants don't hide very well\". What we have learned through our first ever drill program and within our first six holes is that the Soo Copper Project, located in Batchewana Bay, Ontario, has the potential to have both the scale and grade needed to fit into that tagline.Through our first two drill programs, we have observed widespread copper mineralization across broad intervals as well as a number of different porphyry units, providing our first indication to the size potential of this system. As the year progressed, further drilling led to our discovery which includes a high-grade bornite zone carrying strong copper grades and locally high-grade nuggety gold values, results that materially elevated the project's significance and potential (see press release dated September 29, 2025).By year-end, we completed approximately 11 kilometers of drilling and have expanded our understanding through new inversions of property wide and localized geophysics as well as advanced geochemistry. Surface prospecting to date has identified a 6 kilometer trend of copper in bornite and chalcopyrite mineralization which is still well open in multiple directions, reinforcing the district-scale nature of the project (see press release dated October 8, 2025).In October we strengthened our technical capabilities with the appointment of Dr. Neil O'Brien as Chief Geologist. Dr. O'Brien through his experience with Lundin Mining, NGEX, and Cominco comes with a unique perspective on successful copper porphyry exploration and development. His addition is a testament to the quality of this project and between him, Jeremy Niemi, our SVP Exploration and Evaluation, our field team, and the local exper...
