Starr Peak Mining Ltd., a Canadian mineral exploration company, has acquired the Copper Clive Project in Québec’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt, further expanding its exploration portfolio in one of Canada's most prolific mining regions.
The newly acquired property lies roughly 10 kilometers north of Starr Peak’s wholly owned and previously producing Normétal Mine. It is also near Amex Exploration’s Perron gold mineralization, placing it in a geologically favorable and actively explored area. The Copper Clive Project includes 29 mining claims and spans approximately 3,643 hectares.
Starr Peak Mining secured a 100% interest in the claims by purchasing the property for 40,000 Canadian dollars. The acquisition adds to the company's strategic landholdings and aligns with its goal to identify and develop critical mineral resources in underexplored areas.
Recent ground geophysical surveys conducted in 2023 identified a new anomaly within the Copper Clive property. The site is adjacent to zones of known copper mineralization, including a reported 1.5% copper over 1.5 meters from Norcopper. Additionally, the property lies near felsic rocks that share a similar age to the Beaupré rhyolite, a host rock associated with the Perron gold mineralization.
Starr Peak plans to initiate further exploration work at Copper Clive, including an airborne electromagnetic survey, ground prospecting, and targeted drilling. These efforts aim to better define the newly identified geophysical anomaly and assess its potential for hosting economically viable base metals and gold.
“We are looking forward to an active 2025 exploration program, and this new property gives us an opportunity to explore another under-estimated area for base metals and gold mineralization,” said Starr Peak Chairman and CEO Johnathan More. “With features that identify its great potential, the Copper Clive Project aligns with Starr Peak’s vision to explore for critical minerals. This additional property gives us a stronger footprint in this emerging district.”
The Abitibi Greenstone Belt has a long-standing history of mineral production and remains one of the most geologically rich and explored areas in North America. With the acquisition of Copper Clive, Starr Peak Mining strengthens its presence in this strategic region, positioning itself to uncover new discoveries and contribute to the growing demand for critical resources.
The company's upcoming exploration efforts will aim to validate the property's mineral potential and support future development decisions.
