TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 18, 2025 / Sterling Metals Corp. (TSXV:SAG)(OTCQB:SAGGF) ("Sterling" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed articles of amendment to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares (each, a "Common Share") on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Common Share (the "Consolidation"). The Consolidation was approved by shareholders of the Company at its annual and special meeting held on July 10, 2024. The Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on a consolidated basis on or about February 24, 2025. A new CUSIP number (CUSIP: 85941M880 / ISIN: CA85941M8806) has been obtained to replace the previous CUSIP number.
Following the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 24,838,793 Common Shares outstanding. No fractional Common Shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation and any fractional Common Shares that would have otherwise been issued have been rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share. The change in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares resulting from the Consolidation will not materially affect any shareholder's percentage ownership in the Company, although such ownership will be represented by a smaller number of Common Shares.
Letters of transmittal with respect to the Consolidation have been mailed to the Company's registered shareholders. All registered shareholders will be required to send their share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares, along with a properly executed letter of transmittal, to the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., in accordance with the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank or trust company should contact that nominee or intermediary for assistance in depositing their Common Shares in connection with the Consolidation. A copy of the letter of transmittal will be posted on the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Corporate Update
The Company has identified several high-priority drill targets through extensive fieldwork and the Induced Polarization (IP) survey announced in January 2025 at the Copper Road Project (the "Project"). Drilling is set to begin in mid-March, with a minimum 2,000 meters of diamond drilling, targeting copper porphyry potential in the heart of the Project. Additionally, final grab sample results have been processed, providing critical data to refine existing targets and guide future exploration.
Mathew Wilson, CEO and Director, commented, "We believe the time is now to tighten up our share structure ahead of a strategically planned drilling program at Copper Road. Through extensive data compilation and fieldwork, we are confident and excited about the targets we have selected and the initiation of drilling at the Project. We also believe that the timing of the rollback offers our shareholders improved marketability while positioning the Company for success as we deliver drilling results this year. We look forward to providing updates on the initiation of drilling and key details on the program as we head into March."
