Deep hole STE-22-123-W1 drilled parallel to the favorable horizon down to a depth of 1,850 meters vertical has intercepted mineralization along with the favorable mine sequence. Geophysic BHEM survey revealed a new untested anomaly centralized at a vertical depth of 1,200 meters and characterized by a mid conductance of 150 siemens and dimensions of 150 meters wide by 400 meters long. This anomaly plate is the probable continuity of the mineralized system at depth underneath the historical mining drift from Normétal to Normemar (Level 1,270m). In comparison, the high-grade zinc intersection from the

Geophysic BHEM survey means geophysical borehole electromagnetic survey which is the science of recording and analyzing measurements of physical properties made in wells or test holes. This survey is a tool used to search for conductive mineral-bearing ore bodies and allows the company to plan future drill holes based on those results. An anomaly is the interpreted result of variation of the induced current in the bedrock.
In comparison for the mineralization continuity, the past producing Normétal historical mine has been exploited down to a depth of 2,400m and the mineralization system, historically described as richer in copper at depth and not ending completely at the bottom. See below Figure 1 showing the localization of the new deep anomaly. Follow-up drill holes can be performed directly from the deep hole, limiting meters needed.
The 2022 drilling campaign totaled 29,017 meters so far, performed mainly over Newmétal bloc at defining the
Last winter, a new volcanic massive suphide horizon hosting minor economic mineralization until now, has been discovered on the northern portion of Newmétal Property. This horizon is poorly tested to date and extends over 1 km along strike. (See press release
We are currently evaluating all results after successfully drilling a 2,050m deep hole, allowing the BHEM survey to be fully completed and interpreted. Drilling will then resume once all data and results are interpreted on these new exciting targets.

The historical information on the Longitudinal has 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 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 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.
