# Sterling Increases Strike of MEPS Discovery to 1.3km and Discovers Molybdenum-Copper Porphyry Stock at Depth Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/sterling-increases-strike-of-meps-discovery-to-1-3km-and-discovers-molybdenum-co--6fd4129e-bc1e-4114-a69d-5bdf273e38fd Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/SAG.V/press-releases/8050178957919461 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-09-03T11:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Sterling Metals Corp. - Ticker: SAG.V - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Ontario - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Molybdenum, Gold, Silver - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-03 12:24:20 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Sterling Metals has announced significant drill results from its Soo Copper Project in Ontario, extending the MEPS discovery's strike length to 1.3km. Drill hole SC-26-16 intersected a broad 450.92m at 0.30% CuEq, including a high-grade zone of 12m at 1.70% CuEq. Importantly, the drilling confirmed a mineralized molybdenum-copper porphyry stock at a shallow depth, providing a strong vector for further exploration and indicating the potential for a larger system open to the east and at depth. Reasoning: Sterling Metals has reported highly positive drill results that significantly extend the known strike length of the MEPS discovery and identify a shallow, mineralized porphyry stock, which is a strong vector for further expansion. The high-grade intercepts within broad zones of mineralization, coupled with robust QA/QC, indicate a material and novel discovery, though the lack of true width information introduces some uncertainty. - Positive factor: Significant strike extension of mineralization to 1.3km, indicating a larger system. - Positive factor: Discovery of a mineralized porphyry stock at shallowest depth to date \(301m\) with elevated molybdenum and associated copper, suggesting proximity to the core of the porphyry system. - Positive factor: High-grade copper equivalent intercepts, including 12m at 1.70% CuEq within a broader 101m at 0.50% CuEq. - Positive factor: Broad mineralization in multiple holes, confirming continuity and open extensions to the east and at depth. - Positive factor: Strong QA/QC procedures disclosed, including certified lab and QP sign-off. - Negative factor: True widths are not yet known, which may overstate the actual thickness of mineralization. Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 105 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling has extended the eastern side of the system by 300 metres, increasing the strike length to over 1.3km. Evidence · text > Drilling has now outlined mineralization over approximately 1.3 kilometres of east-west strike, and holes SC-26-15, 16 and 17 have extended the eastern side of the system by 300 metres, while leaving it completely open in that direction. **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 includes a dedicated section detailing sampling procedures, laboratory accreditation \(Actlabs, ISO 17025, ISO 9001\), and QA/QC methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates, CRMs\). 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. ... In-house QA/QC included the systematic insertion of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials \(CRM\). **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Jeremy Niemi, P.Geo., Senior Vice President, Exploration and Evaluation for Sterling Metals, is named as the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the technical information. Evidence · text > Jeremy Niemi, P.Geo., Senior Vice President, Exploration and Evaluation for Sterling Metals has reviewed and approved the technical information presented herein. **Metal Equivalent Opaque** Polarity: negative Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Why it applies: Metal equivalent grades are reported with full disclosure of commodity prices and assumed metallurgical recoveries. Evidence · text > Copper Equivalent \(CuEq\) for drill intersections is calculated based on a three-year trailing average for each commodity \(2023, 2024 and 2025\), which equates to US$4.18/lb Cu, US$2,600/oz Au, US$30.54/oz Ag and US$21.46/lb Mo, with 80% metallurgical recoveries assumed for all metals. **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, and capping has not been applied to grades. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 105.
