About the project
Soo Copper is Sterling’s flagship project near Batchewana Bay, Ontario, about an hour north of Sault Ste. Marie, with road, rail and deep-water access nearby. MEPS is a porphyry-style copper system hosted in altered Neoarchean mafic volcanics cut by Mesoproterozoic felsic porphyry.
The 2026 program is systematically stepping out from the MEPS discovery to map continuity of near-surface copper and deeper molybdenum-rich zones. The October 5, 2026 release reported drilling continuing after 53 holes and more than 22,000 m, past the 20,000 m minimum.
