Sterling Hits 44.1m of 1.02% CuEq, Extends High-Grade Core at MEPS
SAGGF has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $0.224 on light trading volume (0.1× avg).
Summary
Sterling Metals reported assay results from drill holes SC-26-27 and SC-26-28 at the MEPS Zone. SC-26-27 intersected 44.1m grading 1.02% CuEq within a broader 187m interval of 0.34% CuEq, including a high-grade 18.2m section at 2.02% CuEq. The hole also returned discrete samples up to 6.65% CuEq. These results extend the higher-grade core of the MEPS copper zone to the west and confirm continuity of mineralization. The company has now completed 53 holes totaling over 22,000m in 2026, exceeding its minimum 20,000m program, with drilling ongoing. This follows the September 16 report of step-out holes that extended the zone to 700m. The new intercepts add scale and grade to the near-surface copper system, supporting the project's potential. The stock is a micro-cap exploration company, so assay results are a primary driver of valuation.
