South Star Battery Metals Corp. announced the completion of its maiden drilling campaign and complete assay results on schedule at its Ceylon Project in Coosa County, Alabama, United States. The drill program was carried out by Logan Drilling USA and consisted of 12 holes of HQ core and totaled 506 meters.

Sample assays for all 12 holes were completed at Activation Laboratory Ltd. ("Actlabs") in Ontario, Canada. The maiden drilling program was based on the previous mapping, trenching and sampling. The program was designed to test the geologic model, lithologies, controls and mineralization.

Drill collar locations for the 12 holes in Phase 1 can be viewed on a map on South Star's website and accessed here (Exploration Map). During the drilling, several potentially promising zones were intersected as can be seen in the below photographs. Assay samples were sent to ActLabs and graphitic carbon (% Cg) was tested using LECO analysis.

Actlabs is an accredited independent laboratory with the ISO 9001:2015 & ISO/IEC 17025:2017 registrations. Samples of standards, blanks and duplicates were systematically included with the core samples as part of South Star's ongoing QA/QC protocol.
