## Minestarters Atlas summary

Sterling Metals Corp. announced drill results from four holes at its Soo Copper Project in Ontario, extending the MEPS Zone discovery to over 1.3 km of strike. Hole SC-26-16 intersected a mineralized granite porphyry stock at its shallowest depth to date, confirming elevated molybdenum and associated copper. Highlights include 12 metres at 1.70% CuEq within a broader 101-metre interval grading 0.50% CuEq, indicating significant potential for expansion to the east and at depth.

Reasoning: New drill results from the MEPS Zone significantly extend the known mineralization strike length and confirm the presence of a mineralized porphyry stock at depth, providing a strong vector for further exploration and indicating potential for a large-scale system. Several high-grade and broad intercepts were reported.

- Positive factor: Significant strike extension of mineralization to 1.3km

- Positive factor: Discovery of a mineralized molybdenum-copper porphyry stock at depth

- Positive factor: High-grade copper equivalent intercepts within broader mineralization

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures disclosed

- Positive factor: Detailed metal equivalent assumptions provided

- Negative factor: True width of intercepts not yet known

- Negative factor: Cut-off grade for reported intervals not disclosed

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The document states that the strike of the MEPS discovery has increased by 300m to over 1.3km and holes SC-26-15, 16 and 17 have extended the eastern side of the system by 300 metres.

Evidence · text

> Strike of the MEPS discovery has increased by 300m now extending to over 1.3km

**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 analytical services provided by Actlabs, its ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 accreditation, and the systematic insertion of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials.

Evidence · text

> Analytical services were provided by Actlabs, which is an independent, CALA- and SCC-accredited analytical services firm registered to ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 standard. Drill core samples were logged and split in half with a diamond core saw. Half-core samples were securely stored at the core logging facility until being delivered to Actlabs Thunder Bay lab by commercial transport. Samples were crushed \(< 7 kg\) up to 90% passing 2mm \(10 mesh\), riffle split to 250 g and pulverized by mild steel to 95% passing 105μm \(150 mesh\). Samples splits underwent a 4-acid near total digestion followed by a multi-element analysis, including base metals, using an ICP method for 35 elements. Selected sample pulps were then analyzed for gold using a 30 g aliquot mixed with fire assay fluxes and Ag as a collector, placed in a fire clay crucible, gradually heated to 1060ºC for 60 min, and followed with an AA finish. Laboratory QA/QC for the ICP analysis was 14% for each batch, including 5 method reagent blanks, 10 in-house controls, 10 samples duplicates, and 8 certified reference materials. An additional 13% QA/QC was performed as part of the instrumental analysis to ensure quality in the areas of instrumental drift. Laboratory quality control for the gold fire assay included two blanks per 42 samples, three sample duplicates and 2 certified reference materials, one high and one low \(QC 7 out of 42 samples\). In-house QA/QC included the systematic insertion of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials \(CRM\).

**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 document explicitly states that intervals may not represent true widths, which are not yet known.

Evidence · text

> Intervals may not represent true widths, which are not yet known

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: The document does not state the cut-off grade used for compositing the reported intervals.

Evidence · text

> Intervals may not represent true widths, which are not yet known, and capping has not been applied to grades.

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The intercept of 12 metres at 1.70% CuEq in SC-26-16 is well above the exceptional threshold for porphyry copper deposits \(0.8% CuEq\).

Evidence · table

> 1.70

Context: 12

**Exploration Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The company states they are 'systematically stepping outward from the core of the MEPS discovery looking for the boundaries of this potential deposit' and 'testing a system that remains open to the east and at depth'.

Evidence · text

> Throughout the 2026 program, we have been systematically stepping outward from the core of the MEPS discovery looking for the boundaries of this potential deposit.

Reasoning: This very long intercept from near surface demonstrates extensive mineralization, significantly contributing to the expanded strike length and the overall potential of the MEPS porphyry system.

- Positive factor: Exceptional intercept length, indicating very broad mineralization

- Positive factor: Moderate copper equivalent grade for a porphyry deposit

- Positive factor: Contributes to significant strike extension and discovery of porphyry stock

- Negative factor: True width not known

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. 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.
