Exploration Programs

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.

Zn_eq (%) = Zn(%) + [Cu(%) * Cu price (lb) / Zn price (lb)] + [Ag(%) * Ag price (oz) * 14,632

/ Zn price (lb) ] + [Au(%) * Au price (oz) * 14.632 / Zn price (lb)]

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.
