Star Copper Commences Phase 2 Drill Campaign and Advances Copper Creek Target Activities
Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) has launched Phase 2 drilling operations at its flagship Star Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle region. The company has completed the first hole (S-056) of a planned 4,000m exploration program, intersecting up to 240m of potassically altered rock with intergrown bornite.
Hole S-056, drilled to a depth of 551m, revealed significant findings including near-surface oxide-to-transitional profile (~8-131m) with malachite on fractures, and consistent potassic alteration below 131m with chalcopyrite mineralization. The hole expands the known mineralized corridor by ~100m to the west.
Additionally, the company reports advancement at the Copper Creek Target, where mapping has identified multiple chalcopyrite-mineralized outcrops and a 3-4m wide sub-vertical breccia with quartz-sulphide veining, extending over roughly 1km of strike within the creek basin.
Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) ha avviato la Fase 2 delle perforazioni nel suo progetto principale, lo Star Project, nella Golden Triangle della British Columbia. La prima perforazione (S-056) di un programma esplorativo pianificato di 4.000 m 猫 stata completata, intercettando fino a 240 m di rocce alterate potassicizzate con bornite intercrestata.
Il foro S-056, portato a una profondit脿 di 551 m, ha messo in luce evidenze rilevanti, tra cui un profilo ossido鈥搕ransizionale vicino alla superficie (~8鈥�131 m) con malachite lungo le fratture, e un鈥檃lterazione potassica continua sotto i 131 m con mineralizzazione a calcopirite. Il foro estende il corridoio mineralizzato noto di circa 100 m verso ovest.
Inoltre, l鈥檃zienda segnala progressi al Copper Creek Target, dove il rilevamento ha individuato pi霉 affioramenti mineralizzati a calcopirite e una breccia sub-verticale larga 3鈥�4 m con vene quarzo-solfoidi, estesa per circa 1 km di lunghezza nella conca del torrente.

Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) hat die Phase-2-Bohrarbeiten an seinem Flaggschiff-Projekt Star Project im Golden Triangle von British Columbia aufgenommen. Das erste Loch (S-056) eines geplanten 4.000 m Explorationsprogramms wurde abgeschlossen und schnitt bis zu 240 m potassisch ver盲ndertes Gestein mit eingewachsener Bornit an.
Bohrloch S-056, auf eine Tiefe von 551 m niedergebracht, lieferte bedeutende Befunde, darunter ein oberfl盲chennahes Oxid鈥揟ransitional-Profil (~8鈥�131 m) mit Malachit in Kl眉ften, und eine durchgehende potassische Verwitterung unterhalb von 131 m mit Chalcopyrit-Mineralisierung. Das Loch erweitert den bekannten mineralisierten Korridor um etwa 100 m nach Westen.
Au脽erdem meldet das Unternehmen Fortschritte am Copper Creek-Zielgebiet: Kartierungen identifizierten mehrere chalcopyrit-mineralisierte Aufschl眉sse und eine 3鈥�4 m breite, subvertikale Brekzie mit Quarz-Schwefel-Adern, die sich 眉ber rund 1 km Streichenl盲nge im Bachbecken erstreckt.
- Discovery of bornite mineralization not previously seen in drill samples
- Expansion of mineralized corridor by ~100m westward
- Identification of significant copper-oxide mineralization and consistent potassic alteration
- Multiple chalcopyrite-mineralized outcrops discovered at Copper Creek Target
- Laboratory results from Phase 1 program still pending
- Copper Creek Target drilling has not yet commenced
VANCOUVER, BC / / September 9, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTCQX:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a critical minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to announce it has commenced Phase 2 active drilling operations at its s
With the successful conclusion of its Phase 1 campaign, the Company recognized its understanding of the underlying grade/fault relationship, overall orientation and mineralization of the Star Deposit, thereby vastly simplifying the decision-making process to expedite its advance into Phase 2 without delay.
Phase 2 Drilling Kickoff
Star Copper is therefore pleased to report that the kick-off of a proposed 4,000m Phase 2 exploration program at the Star Project was undertaken without issue and has already resulted in the planned completion of its first-in-series target identified as Hole S-056 which has intersected up to 240m of potassicaly altered rock with small intergrown bornite not seen yet in any previous drill samples on the Star project. This is a significant step in targeting and understanding the deposit in greater detail (see Figure 1).
Near surface supergene mineralization targeted towards the south with potential extension of higher grades at depth. Star Copper 2025
Situated on a drill pad where fieldwork uncovered significant copper-oxide mineralization of malachite, azurite, and chrysocolla in oxidized breccias (see Company of August 25, 2025), Hole S-056 was collared ~100 m west of S-055 and drilled north at -75掳 to a depth 551 m.
The hole cut a broad near-surface oxide-to-transitional profile (~8-131 m) with multiple faults and breccias with malachite noted on fractures locally to 50m depth, extending the oxide footprint west of S-055 along the western flank of Star Main (see Figure 2).
Below ~131 m, S-056 transitions into the hypogene domain and exhibits some of the most consistent potassic (potassium-feldspar) alteration observed to date, with vein halos and pervasive replacement accompanied by sheeted and stockwork veining. Chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) occurs as fine disseminations and within quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite veins and stockworks, including broad, well-veined intervals from 284-413 m, with minor pyrite +/-chalcopyrite continuing intermittently to end-of-hole (see Figure 3).
Taken together with Phase 1 results-especially the oxide-to-hypogene profile in S-055, Hole S-056 expands the known mineralized corridor ~100 m to the west and strengthens the west-southwest trend of near-surface oxides above hypogene sulphides in quartz monzodiorite. Samples from S-056 will be reported once received and reviewed under the Company's QA/QC protocols.
Mineralization Picture Becomes Clearer
While the supergene zone at Star Main is a relatively rare find for this area of Canada, similar occurrences in the USA, Mexico and Chile suggest this signature aspect of the Star Project demonstrates valuable metals concentration near the Earth's surface with resultingly enhanced grades of ore deposits. On the other hand, the discovery of hypogene mineralization involving ascending fluids from deep within the Earth may prove significant as the Company expands discovery at depth.
Previous Company reports of copper iron sulfide mineralization focused on Chalcopyrite, and it can now be reported also include increasingly prevalent examples of Bornite in sampling to-date. Chalcopyrite (CuFeS鈧�), which is crucial for copper production, has been identified in various geological formations and ore deposits across the project, and Bornite (Cu鈧匜eS鈧�) which is recognized as an important high grade copper ore is often found in supergene enrichment zones.
Samples from the Phase 1 program have been shipped to the laboratory, and results will be reported once received and reviewed under QA/QC protocols.
Copper Creek Target Update (southeast of Star Main)
Preparations for drill-ready targets at the Copper Creek prospect have reached an advanced state of readiness. The field crew have complete trail access from Star Camp and have completed a systematic geological traverse across the Copper Creek gully system (see Figure 4), which included stepping through coincident airborne IP chargeability and magnetic anomalies, while ground-truthing historic drill sites (G1-70, G2-70).
Mapping has identified multiple chalcopyrite-mineralized outcrops within fractured volcaniclastic units and disseminated within quartz diorite dykes and sills, with malachite and azurite staining on several outcrops west of the historic collars. Additional sulphide occurrences-including pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and galena were observed over roughly 1 km of strike within the creek basin (see Figure 5)
The main mineralized zone comprises a 3-4 m wide, sub-vertical breccia with quartz-sulphide and vuggy quartz-chalcedony veining, including several 5-25 cm lenses of semi-massive pyrite-chalcopyrite hosted in heavily fractured volcanics. Interpretation and analysis of collected samples are underway to finalize drill-ready targets at Copper Creek for inclusion in the Phase 2 program.
Company CEO, Darryl Jones notes, "Momentum is building. With Hole S-056 confirming westward expansion at Star Main and Copper Creek advancing toward drill-ready status, Phase 2 will focus on targeted step-outs, deeper tests along the W-SW trend, and first-pass holes at Copper Creek to broaden discovery potential across the property. The entire team at Star Copper looks forward to sharing assay results and continued updates as Phase 2 progresses."
