Starr PEAK Hires Top Geological Consulting Firm and Launches Exploration Program ON Newmétal
STARR PEAK HIRES TOP GEOLOGICAL CONSULTING FIRM AND
LAUNCHES EXPLORATION PROGRAM ON NEWMÉTAL
Vancouver, British Columbia – July 21, 2020 – Starr Peak Exploration Ltd. ("Starr Peak"
or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:STE) (OTC:STRPF) is pleased to announce that it has
entered into an agreement with Laurentia Exploration to become Starr Peak’s geological
consultant for the exploration of the NewMétal Property (“NewMétal ” or “ the Property”).
Laurentia Exploration offers a full suite of exploration services to primarily Quebec -based
companies. The firm has been involved in several significant discoveries and exploration
programs in recent years, and specializes in the planning, execution, and interpreta tion of
exploration programs and strategie s with a particular expertise in gold-rich VMS and orogenic
gold mineralization that is directly related to the mineral targets at the Property.
Johnathan More, Chairman and CEO of Starr Peak commented, “We are thrilled to have the
opportunity to have Laurentia Exploration in charge of our exploration program. Their
continuing success working with our neighbors, Amex Exploration, gives us a huge advantage.
They have explored and drilled in excess of 100,000 meters for Amex which gives Starr Peak a
massive head start to understanding the geology and defining our drill targets. It is also important
to note that Amex has been having huge success drilling in an easterly direction which is
extremely close and on trend and strike to our Newmetal property.”
The NewMétal project was recently expanded to a total of 64 mineral claims covering 1,888
hectares of highly pr ospective ground. The property claims are comprised of a block directly
adjacent to the past -producing Normétal Mine and on trend to Amex Exploration Inc.’s Perron
project. The geology underlaying the Property is comprised of felsic and intermediate volcanic
and felsic plutonic rocks of the Nor métal formation and is highly prospective for gold- rich VMS
mineralization and orogenic gold mineralization.
Starr Peak, in association with Laurentia Exploration, has recently launched an initial program of
compilation, prospecting, and geological mapping, and plans to complete an airborne EM survey
and high- resolution MAG drone geophysics in the fall of 2020 in order to prepare for an
inaugural drilling campaign in winter of 2021.

NewMétal Property.
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 44.22 g/t Au over 9.10 metres and 30.98 g/t
Au over 8.50 metres, and the past -producing Norm étal 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 e xtracted during the periods of 1926-
1929, 1931-1933, and 1937-1975 and developed down to a depth of 2.7 km below surface.
The NewMétal Property is cross -cut by the Normetal Fault Horizon associated with gold and
base metal mineralization along strike. The property is also located in the eastern extension of
the Perron fault known to be a prolific gold bearing structure. Geology underlaying the Property
consists of favourable rhyolite and mafic volcanic rocks, as well as diabase dikes and granitic
intrusions. Two known mineral showings occur on the Property. The Rang I -Lots 44-57 showing
was identified in diamond drilling in 1966, with samples reaching up to 0.02% Cu and 2.38% Zn
over 0.15 metres in historical drillhole Sondage 1- 66, and up to 1.02 g/t Au oc curring over
unknown widths in drillhole Sondage 93-05. The Perron-Desmeloizes-Nord showing is a surface
showing identified in 1952 with select samples reaching up to 14.5 g/t Au.
