Starr PEAK Acquires Newmétal Property, Contiguous with AMEX Exploration’S Perron Property and Past-Producing Normétal MINE IN Quebec
STARR PEAK ACQUIRES NEWMÉTAL PROPERTY, CONTIGUOUS WITH AMEX
EXPLORATION’S PERRON PROPERTY AND PAST-PRODUCING NORMÉTAL MINE
IN QUEBEC
VANCOUVER, Canada – June 13, 2019 – Starr Peak Exploration Ltd. (“ Starr Peak ” or the
“Company”) (TSX-V: STE) is very pleased to announce it has acquired a priority land package in
northwestern Quebec, directly east of Amex Exploration Inc.’s (“Amex Exploration” ) (AMX: TSX-
V; OTCQX: AMXEF; FRA: MX0) Perron Property and proximal to the past- producing Normétal
Mine. The newly acquired NewMétal Property (“NewMétal” or the “Property”) consists of 53
mineral claims covering 1, 420 hectares of highly prospective ground for orogenic gold and
polymetallic VMS style mineralization in a region well- known for its gold occurrences and
historical production . The Company plans to complete an initial program of prospecting,
geological mapping, and high -resolution drone geophysics in order to prepare for an inaugural
drilling campaign.
The NewMétal Property is located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec, along the Chicobi
Deformation Zone. The Property is directly adjacent to Amex Exploration Inc.’s Perron Property,
from which recently announced drill results include 32.2 g/t Au over 5.90 metres and 30.98 g/t
Au over 8. 50 metres (see Amex Exploration news releases dated May 21 st and June 3 rd, 2019),
and proximal to the past- producing Normétal Mine, from which approximately 10.1 million
tonnes grading 2.24% Cu, 5.41% Zn, 0.526 g/t Au, and 44.45 g/t Ag were extracted perio dically
between 1937 and 1975, with development down to a depth of approximately 2.4 km (SIGEOM
- Mine Normétal).

camp has not been independently verified by the QP)
The Company’s NewMétal Property in underlain by favourable geology consisting of rhyolite
and mafic volcanic rocks, as well as diabase dikes and granitic intrusions . Further, the Property
straddles a section of the Normetal Fault, a major structural corridor associated with significant
polymetallic occurrences along strike from the Property , most notably, the past producing
Normétal Mine.
Quebec’s SIGEOM database notes two historical mineral showings present on the Property ;
Rang I-Lots 44-57 and Perron-Desmeloizes-Nord. The Rang I-Lots 44-57 Showing was discovered
by diamond drilling in 1966 with 0.02% Cu and 2.38% Zn over 0.15 metres reported (Sondage 1-
66). A sample of 1.02 g/t Au over 0.3 metres was also reported from a drill hole completed in
1993 in the same area (Sondage 93-05). The Perron-Desmeloizes-Nord Showing was discovered
1952 and reported as a select surface sample of 14.5 g/t Au associated with pyrite and
pyrrhotite in volcanic rocks.
The Company intends to complete an initial summer exploration program c onsisting of
geological mapping, prospecting, historical drill core re-logging and re-sampling, as well as high-
resolution drone geophysics in order to identify drill targets for its inaugural drilling campaign.
Thomas Kennedy, CEO of Starr Peak commented, “The acquisition of the NewMétal Property is
a fantastic addition to the Starr Peak portfolio. The drilling success of Amex Exploration over the
past six months , on its adjacent Perron Property , has identified a significant high-grade gold
area which we believe is in its infancy and emphasizes the potential of the Company’s NewMétal
Property located immediately adjacent.”

Management cautions that past results or discoveries on adjacent properties (i.e. Perron,
Normétal Mine) may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the
Company’s properties (i.e. NewMétal).
Terms of the Agreement
As per the terms of the Agreement, the Company may earn a 100% interest in the NewMétal
Property through the issuance of a $105,000 CAD cash payment and 1% Net Smelter Royalty
(NSR) to the Vendor . The transaction remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
