The company secured a 100% interest in the 29 mineral claims by paying a purchase price of C$40,000 ($28,678) to the vendor.
Located approximately 10 kilometers north of Starr Peak’s wholly owned Normétal Mine, a former producer, the Copper Clive property is also near Amex Exploration’s Perron gold mineralization. Spanning 3,643.23 hectares across 29 mining claims, the property was purchased for C$40,000, granting Starr Peak full ownership.
The Copper Clive Project includes a new ground geophysics anomaly identified in 2023 and is positioned adjacent to known copper mineralization, with the Norcopper site reporting 1.5% copper over 1.5 meters. The property is also close to a felsic rock formation similar in age to the Beaupré rhyolite, which hosts the Perron gold mineralization, enhancing its exploration potential.
Starr Peak Mining plans to initiate further exploration, including an airborne electromagnetic survey, prospecting, and drilling to investigate the anomaly. These efforts aim to uncover new mineral deposits, focusing on base metals and gold, in line with the company’s strategy to explore critical minerals.
Johnathan More, Starr Peak’s chairman and CEO, stated: “We are looking forward to an active 2025 exploration programme and this new property gives us an opportunity to explore another under-estimated area for base metals and gold mineralisation. With features that identify its great potential, the Copper Clive Property aligns with Starr Peak’s vision to explore for critical minerals. This additional property gives us a stronger footprint in this emerging district.”
The acquisition supports Starr Peak’s goal of contributing to the supply of minerals essential for industrial and technological applications, meeting domestic and global consumption needs. By expanding its exploration activities in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, the company aims to capitalize on the region’s rich geological potential while fostering sustainable economic growth.
The Copper Clive Project positions Starr Peak to play a key role in Québec’s mining sector, leveraging the area’s established infrastructure and geological promise to drive future discoveries.
