Sterling Metals Expands Mineralized Footprint to Two Kilometers at Soo Copper in Ontario

11:31 AM EDT, 10/28/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Sterling Metals' (SAG.V) initial drilling from a new eastern pad, about 850 meters east of the current MEPS copper zone limit, expanded its Soo Copper Project's drilled mineralized footprint to about two kilometers east-west, located near Batchewana Bay, Ontario, it said in a statement on Wednesday. Results showed that all drill holes contain chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite and molybdenum with very low pyrite content suggesting eastern continuity of the same underlying porphyry copper system responsible for the two-kilometer mineralized footprint, it said. SC-26-20 intersected 206.2 m grading 0.28% copper equivalent (CuEq) from 49.8 m to 256.0 m. It also included higher-grade intervals of 100.5 m grading 0.40% CuEq, 38.6 m grading 0.65% CuEq, and 20.0 m grading 0.98% CuEq. Shares of the company were last seen down 12% at CA$0.69 on the TSX Venture Exchange. Price: 0.69, Change: -0.10, Percent Change: -12.66
