Vtem Survey Highlights New High-Potential Area FOR Base Metals Discovery
VTEM SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS NEW HIGH-POTENTIAL AREA FOR BASE METALS
DISCOVERY
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 17th, 2025 – Starr Peak Mining Ltd. ("Starr Peak"
or the "Company") (TSXV:STE) (OTCQX:STRPF) is pleased to announce the results of their
recent heliborne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) on the Copper Clive pro ject
located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Québec and around 10 kilometers North of the past -
producing Normétal Mine (10.1Mt @ 2.15% Cu, 5.12% Zn, 0.55 g/t Au, 45.25 /t Ag).
The 2025 VTEM survey was supervised and analyzed by Matthew Penney, P.Geo , President
and Consulting Geophysicist of H ardrock Geophysics . The survey successfully identified t en
(10) anomalous areas with elevated conductivity, including one (1) cluster of anomalies with
very high potential . This target is defined by the following characteristics:
• Two (2), possibly three (3), conductive trends with approximate strike lengths of
200 to 500m , clustered in the south- central part of the property.
• The conductors have fixed strike length s which do not appear to be formational .
• The conductive response s sit near the flanks of magnetic highs which may be defining
possible structural corridors of inter est.
Additionally, 3 claims (2855722, 2855723, 2855724) have been staked and an additional 1 claim
(94628), hosting Norcopper showing, was put into an agreement to secure the land position.

Johnathan More, Chairman and CEO of Starr Peak commented, “The survey has return promising
results and is very encouraging. Further drilling will reveal the property’s true potential and
knowing that the Norcopper showing to the south has returned copper grades increases our interest
in identifying the sources of these anomalies.”
NewMétal Property
Per the Company’s July 7 th, 2025 press release, exploration at our 100% owned NewMétal
property has commenced to expand on past results.
NewMétal Property Exploration Phases:
Drilling deep target at Normetmar (See press release dated Oct. 25, 2022)
Drilling soil sample anomalies (see press release dated June 21, 2024)
In June 2024 the Company announced that it had identified several exciting untested geochemical
soil anomalies on the Property. An analysis from this survey returned base and precious metal
anomalies over new areas, as well as strengthening knowledge on historical zones. Interpreted
results from this survey highlighted several geochemically anomalous areas , some of which are
located along VTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) geophysical anomalies and
therefore have generated priority drill targets f or the company. A total of twelve (12) areas of
interest have been identified:
• Three (3) areas are characterized by a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) base metal
signature, enriched in Zn, Cd, Pb, In, with a minor enrichment in As, Bi, Sb (See: Figure
1).
• Five (5) areas are characterized by precious metal mineralization associated with VMS
systems, enriched in Ag, Pb with minor enrichment in Cu, Au, and depletion in Fe (See:
Figure 2).
• Four (4) areas characterized by anomalous gold (Au) content (See: Figure 3).
The soil survey covered three (3) priority areas over the NewMétal property (See: Figure 4) which
include:
• The mine horizon to the West of Normetmar which was tested for continuation of the
recently discovered Eastern VMS anomaly by Amex Exploration (See press release: Amex
Exploration Generates Multiple New Gold and VMS Targets at Perron From Regional
Exploration Program, dated May 30, 2023) that appears to extend into the western part of
the NewMétal property.
• The surroundings of the VMS horizon intersected by hole STE -22-98 and corresponding
VTEM geophysical anomalies.
• The surroundings of hole STE-22-112 which returned anomalous gold results hosted into
the granodiorite Pluton de Normétal, located in the north-east part of the property.
Johnathan More, Chairman and CEO of Starr Peak commented, “With our neighbor’s, Amex
Exploration’s, recent surge in share price there will be unprecedented interest coming to this
district. Starr Peak, strategically, is in prime position with the majority of our targets sandwiched
between the historic past-producing Normétal mine and Amex’s Perron Proj ect. We have drilled
in excess of 61,000 meters to date and we are thrilled about further work ahead.”
The 2022 Normetmar deep VMS discovery and the new geophysical BHEM deep plate along
the long deeper hole will be a focus for next drilling phase targets as well. This is in
accordance with a potential for continued mineralization at depth when compar ed to the old
historical Normétal mine, which was mined down to 2 ,400 metres . (See press release: Starr
Peak Discovers Massive New Untested Bhem Anomaly On The Normetmar Deep Zone And
Reports Drill Program Update, dated October 25, 2022). The next drilling campaign will
also include testing geochemically anomalous areas, some of which overlap with priority VTEM
geophysical anomalies.
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 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 ind ustry standard
practices. The information provides an indication of the explorat ion potential of the Property but
may not be representative of expected results.

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 estimates 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 resource s 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 r esources. 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.
