Star Metro - Tocvan Closes Oversubscribed Private Placement for $3.15 Million

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash commissions to arm's length finders who assisted with the Offering of approximately $39,744 and issued 82,800 finders' warrants ("Finders' Warrants"). Each Finder's Warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.48 per Common Share for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Offering.

The Units under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada.

"Excited to see great support for our Company and our plans to advance expanding gold and silver targets in mine-friendly Sonora." commented, CEO Brodie Sutherland. "With the financing closed we now focus on the next steps quickly advancing us towards resource estimation, new discovery potential and test mining. Our approach has two important fronts: 1) derisking project development through permitting and test mining; 2) the rapidly advancing resource potential of our broader expansion area where we believe two separate mineralized systems of significant size remain untapped for potential."

Use of Proceeds

The proceeds of the raise will go towards the advancement of the Gran Pilar Au-Ag project in Sonora, Mexico.

Update on Drilling

Results for the first ever drilling on the 100% controlled expansion area are pending for four Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes. All samples for the four RC drill holes are at the lab for assay. First results from the program are expected to be available soon. An additional ten core drill holes were completed across the majority controlled Main Zone. Samples for the first three core drill holes are at the lab for assay. First results for the core program are expected in March.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Rock samples were shipped for sample preparation to ALS Limited in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and for analysis at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver. The ALS Hermosillo and North Vancouver facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Gold was analyzed using 50-gram nominal weight fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy finish.

Over limit analyses for silver (>100 g/t) were re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with ICP-AES finish. Control samples comprising certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's robust quality assurance / quality control protocol.
