Sterling Metals Resumes Drilling at Sail Pond Project, Testing for Additional High-Grade Silver and Copper at Heimdall North Discovery Target
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2023 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) ("Sterling Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2023 drilling program at the Sail Pond Project located in the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland. The drill program will test for potential large accumulations of high-grade silver and copper mineralization in six new anomalies identified in the recently completed Orion 3D geophysical survey (the "Orion survey"), including a potential source to the Heimdall North Zone discovered in 2022.
多伦多,ON/ACCESSWIRE/2023年6月6日/Sterling Metals Corp.(多伦多证券交易所股票代码:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF)(“英镑金属“或”公司“)很高兴地宣布,位于纽芬兰大北部半岛的Sail Pond项目的2023年钻探计划开始。该钻探计划将测试最近完成的猎户座3D地球物理调查(”猎户座调查“)中发现的六个新异常中潜在的大型高品位银和铜矿化,包括2022年发现的Heimdall北带的潜在来源。
"Since the discovery at Heimdall North our team has looked forward to getting back to the area to find the source of the incredible high-grade mineralization we intersected. Completing the Orion survey and highlighting a new geophysical target just below our discovery hole SP-22-064 only fueled our desire to return to the Heimdall North Zone," Stated Jeremy Niemi, Senior Vice President, Exploration and Evaluation. "The mineralization in hole 64 was essentially solid vein of high-grade copper and silver mineralization interpreted to come from a nearby larger source. This is an amazing target to kick off our 2023 campaign and we can't wait to see the core."
勘探和评估部的Jeremy Niemi,高级副总裁说:“自从在Heimdall North发现以来,我们的团队一直期待着回到该地区,找到我们相交的令人难以置信的高品位矿化的源头。完成猎户座调查,并突出我们发现孔SP-22-064下的一个新的地球物理目标,只会激发我们返回Heimdall北区的愿望。”“64号井的矿化本质上是高品位铜和银矿化的固体矿脉,被解释为来自附近更大的矿源。这是启动我们2023年活动的一个令人惊叹的目标,我们迫不及待地想看看核心。”
"The plan executed by the Sterling team, which prompted investors to back our $6.5M financing in April 2023, remains on track," commented CEO Mathew Wilson. "Despite the challenging macro venture environment, we are excited to see the results of our hard work as we embark on the next phase of drilling at Sail Pond."
Sterling首席执行官马修·威尔逊评论说:“Sterling团队执行的计划,促使投资者在2023年4月支持我们650万美元的融资,目前仍在轨道上。”尽管宏观风险环境充满挑战,但当我们开始在Sail Pond进行下一阶段的钻探工作时,我们很高兴看到我们辛勤工作的结果。
2023 Sail Pond Drilling Campaign
2023年帆船池塘钻探运动
The recently completed Orion 3D geophysical survey (see press release dated May 8, 2023) encompassed both the Heimdall and Heimdall North Zones with the goal of identifying potential sources of surface mineralization and larger accumulations of high-grade silver and copper mineralization. The survey included a chargeability component, used to identify sulphide mineralization, seeing to a depth of 500 metres below surface. Along with the chargeability, the Orion survey also included a magneto telluric ("MT") survey which mapped the resistivity down to 2 kilometres depth. The MT data shows resistivity of the rocks and has been used to map the host dolostone units and important structures which the Sail Pond silver-copper mineralization follows. The 2023 targets for drilling include a combination of strong chargeability (increased sulphide potential) along trend from existing surface and drilling intercepts and within dolostone.
最近完成的猎户座3D地球物理调查(见日期为2023年5月8日的新闻稿)涵盖了Heimdall和Heimdall北区,目的是查明地表矿化的潜在来源和更大规模的高品位银和铜矿化堆积。该调查包括一个可充电性部分,用于识别硫化物矿化,可看到地表以下500米的深度。除了可充电外,猎户座调查还包括一项大地电磁(MT)调查,该调查绘制了深至2公里处的电阻率图。大地电磁测深数据显示了岩石的电阻率,并已用于绘制Sail Pond银铜矿化所遵循的寄主白云岩单元和重要构造。2023年的钻探目标包括沿现有地表和钻井截距以及白云岩内的趋势具有很强的可充性(硫化物潜力增加)的组合。
The first target of the campaign is located directly below and on trend from the mineralization intersected in hole SP-22-064, which intersected 3,499.1 g/t AgEq over 0.35 m (see press release dated December 12, 2022). The Orion survey identified a wide chargeability zone, over 100 m, below hole SP-22-064 with a halo extending towards the mineralization in the hole (Figure 1). The chargeability response is interpreted to potentially be an accumulation of sulphide and sulphosalt minerals which are highly chargeable, especially in contrast to the dolostone rocks which host mineralization at Sail Pond.
此次活动的第一个目标位于与SP-22-064孔相交的矿化的正下方和趋势上,该孔相交于0.35米以上的3,499.1克/吨AgEq(见2022年12月12日的新闻稿)。猎户座勘测发现,在SP-22-064孔下方有一个超过100米的宽阔可充电区,有一个晕圈朝向该孔中的矿化延伸(图1)。充电响应被解释为潜在的硫化物和硫酸盐矿物的堆积,这些矿物是高度充电的,特别是与Sail Pond矿化所在的白云岩形成对比。

The minimum 2,000 m drill program at Sail Pond commenced on June 5, 2023, and will include the 6 highest priority targets from the Orion survey. Contingency holes are ready for an expanded program based on successful results. Sterling Metals contracted Logan Drilling Group International out of Stewiacke, Nova Scotia. The Sterling Metals geology team will utilize a handheld XRF at site to provide immediate readings of key elements such as copper, silver, and zinc. Mineralized core will be sampled and sent to SGS Canada Inc. for sample preparation and assay.
Sail Pond的最低2000米钻探计划于2023年6月5日开始,将包括猎户座调查中最优先的6个目标。根据成功的结果,应急漏洞已经为扩大计划做好了准备。Sterling Metals与位于新斯科舍省Stewiacke的Logan Drilling Group International签订了合同。Sterling Metals地质团队将在现场使用手持XRF,以提供铜、银和锌等关键元素的即时读数。矿化岩芯将被取样并送往SGS加拿大公司进行样品准备和分析。
The Heimdall North Zone
海姆达尔北区
Discovered during the 2023 drill program, the polymetallic vein with high-grade silver and copper intersected 3,499.1 g/t Ag Eq over 0.35 m (1,564 g/t Ag, 8.33% Cu, 12.83% Pb, 2.74% Sb, & 3.93% Zn) within a broader interval of 294 g/t Ag Eq over 4.67m (129 g/t Ag, 0.66% Cu, 1.19% Pb, 0.22% Sb, & 0.45% Zn in hole SP-22-064 beginning at 179.23 m downhole. The mineralization is a combination of sulphides such as chalcocite and chalcopyrite with sulphosalts. The lower contact of the vein is brecciated with fragments of the host dolostone being pulled into the mineralization. The contacts of the vein point downwards and towards the new chargeability anomaly identified in the Orion 3D survey.
在2023年钻探计划中发现的具有高品位银和铜的多金属矿脉相交3,499.1 g/t Ag Eq超过0.35 m(1564克/吨银、8.33%铜、12.83%铅、2.74%锑和3.93%锌)在更宽的间隔294 g/t银式 超过467万(129g/t,0.66%铜,1.19%铅,0.22%Sb,0.45%锌),从井下179.23米开始。矿化是辉铜矿、黄铜矿等硫化物与硫酸盐的组合。矿脉的下部接触角砾状,寄主白云岩碎片被拉入矿化。矿脉的接触指向下方,指向猎户座3D测量中发现的新的充电性异常。
