Starr PEAK Announces Major Expansion of Drilling Program to 40,000 Metres ON Newmétal Property
STARR PEAK ANNOUNCES MAJOR EXPANSION OF DRILLING PROGRAM TO
40,000 METRES ON NEWMÉTAL PROPERTY
Vancouver, British Columbia – July 08, 2021 – Starr Peak Mining Ltd. ("Starr Peak" or
the "Company") (TSX-V:STE) (OTC:STRPF) is very pleased to announce another significant
expansion to its ongoing drilling campaign on its NewMétal property (“NewMétal ” or “ the
Property”), located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec near the town of Normétal. The
NewMétal project also includes the past -producing Normétal Mine, from which ~10.1M tonnes
of 2.15% Cu, 5.12% Zn, 0.549 g/t Au, and 45.25 g/t Ag were produced (Boivin, 1988).
Owing to significant results (see July 6, 2021 press release) in the Company’s drill holes
targeting Normetmar trend s in depth, Starr Peak announces an increase in its fully funded
drilling program from 20,000 to 40,000 metres on the NewMétal project.
Johnathan More, Chairman and CEO of Starr Peak commented, “ We are very excited by the
drilling results to date on the NewMétal project. The width and high grades of this massive
sulphide body are very encouraging. We are exploring to extend the 2021 discovered zones and
test possible new massive sulphide body repetitions on the NewMétal property.”
Drilling continues on the project targeting the deep new discovery zone below 600m vertical
depth and systematic drilling of the Normetmar Upper zone above 400m vertical depth. An
exploration plan of the prolific Normetmar -Normétal lithological contact within the property is
currently underway, taking into account 2021 new massive sulphide interceptions.

Qualified Person
Alexis Paulin Bissonnette, Ing. (OIQ 5037621), an independent Qualified Person as defined by
Canadian NI 43- 101 standards, has reviewed and approved the geological information reported
in this news release. The drilling campaign and the quality control program have been planned
and supervised by Alexis Paulin Bissonnette. Core logging and sampling were completed by
Laurentia Explo ration. The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of
one blank, one standard and one duplicate every 25 samples, in addition to the regular insertion
of blank, duplicate, and standard samples accredited by ALS Canada Ltd. during the analytical
process. Additionally, sample weight is taken prior shipment to validate sample identity. Gold
values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption. Zinc, Copper and Silver
values are estimated by four acid digestion multi elements Inductively Coupled Plasma – Atomic
Emission Spectroscopy (ICP -AES), ME-ICP61. Zinc values over 1%, copper values over 1%
and silver values over 100 g/t are estimated by four acid digestion ICP-AES, OG62. Zinc values
over 30% are estimated by potentiometric titration, ZN -VOL50. The Qualified Person has not
completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the Property, particularly in
regards to historical drill results. However, the Qualified Person believes that drilling and
analytical results were completed to industry standard practices. The information provides an
indication of the exploration potential of the Property but may not be representative of expected
results.

The information on the Longitudinal have not been validated otherwise than with the information
inside historical reports and cross sections. Exact location of historical drill hole pierce points on
the longitudinal may be different.
The Company wishes to caution that historical resources described above are historical. The
historic resources are relevant to give a ballpark estimate of the potential on the property.
Historical resources should not be relied upon. The key assumptions, parameters and methods
used to prepare the historical estimate is not known and thus the difference between the historic
estimates and NI 43 -101 compliant estimate s is also not known. The historical estimates used
categories other than the ones set up in sections 1.2 and 1.3 of National Instrument 43 -101,
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. A qualified person has not reviewed the historical
estimates and has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral
resources and Starr Peak is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources
under National Instrument 43- 101 and CIM Standards for mineral resources and reserves.
Further exploration work needs to be done to correctly evaluate these historical resources.
Additionally, the methodology of calculation is unknown by the qualified person.
Grab samples are selective by nature and the values reported may not be representative of the
mineralized zone.
Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of
mineralization hosted on the Company’s property.
