Urgent NIA Monday Morning Update: Sterling Metals (TSXV: SAG)

Be sure to research Sterling Metals (TSXV: SAG) currently $0.91 per share immediately they just announced this morning a brand new discovery hole intersecting 262.5m of 1.05% CuEq starting from 47.5m downhole, including a new high-grade bornite zone with 68.3m grading 3.25% CuEq starting at 179.7m downhole, featuring semi-massive bornite and chalcopyrite grading up to 9.3m of 19.98% CuEq.

Management Commentary

“MEPS-25-02 delivered the highest copper and gold grades ever drilled at Soo Copper,” said Jeremy Niemi, SVP Exploration. “It validates our model and confirms the GFP Porphyry as a key mineralizing engine.”

Dr. Neil O’Brien, Technical Advisor, added: “All indicators point to a large, high-grade porphyry Cu-Au-Mo system—potentially a significant new Canadian discovery.”

Mathew Wilson, CEO, commented: “Our team’s decisive targeting led to a transformational result that positions Sterling for continued success.”

Project Significance
Located one hour north of Sault Ste. Marie and 20 km from rail and port access, the Soo Copper Project combines grade, scale, and infrastructure. As Canada prioritizes copper as a strategic metal, this discovery could position Sterling as a key domestic contributor.
