# Starr Peak Reports Results of its Ongoing 2021 Drilling Campaign with Multiple VMS Intersects Up To 6.65% Zinc-Equivalent Over 13.45 Metres Including Copper Rich Sub Intersect of 3.83% Cu Over 2.25 Metres Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/starr-peak-reports-results-of-its-ongoing-2021-drilling-campaign-with-multiple-v--9bbc4f7a-0ea3-4e88-a13d-bc5f1180f00c Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/STE/news/5689882231367799/starr-peak-reports-results-of-its-ongoing-2021-drilling-campaign-with-multiple-v Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2021-11-02T13:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Starr Peak Mining Ltd. - Ticker: STE - Exchange: TSX - Region: Quebec - Primary commodity: Zinc - Secondary commodities: Copper, Silver, Gold - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-19 05:03:08 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Starr Peak Mining reported high-grade VMS drill results from its NewMétal property in Quebec, including a 13.45m intercept at 6.65% ZnEq. The drilling successfully extended the Upper and Deep zones, demonstrating significant copper-rich mineralization. Reasoning: Strong VMS drill results showing high-grade zinc-equivalent and copper mineralization, extending known zones with clear QA/QC protocols. - Positive factor: High-grade zinc-equivalent intercepts - Positive factor: Copper-rich sub-intercepts in VMS setting - Positive factor: Extension of known Upper and Deep zones - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed - Negative factor: True width not disclosed Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 6.65% ZnEq is exceptionally high for a VMS deposit. Evidence · text > 13.45 m of 6.65 % ZnEq **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The release explicitly states that true width is currently unknown for the reported intervals. Evidence · text > True width of mineralization is currently unknown. **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release details the insertion of blanks, standards, and duplicates, and names an accredited lab. Evidence · text > The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of one blank, one standard and one duplicate every 25 samples, in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples accredited by ALS Canada Ltd. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Results are extending the Upper and Deep zones. Evidence · text > Results are extending the Upper and Deep zones ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
