Star Copper Completes 2nd Drill Hole Confirming Copper-Gold Extension Down-Dip and Along Strike
Star Copper Corp. (OTC:STCUF) has announced significant results from its second drillhole (S-051) at its flagship Star Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The drillhole, completed at a depth of 539 meters, has successfully extended the copper-gold mineralization footprint both down-dip and along strike.
Key findings include a supergene cap near surface with local peaks of 1.25% chalcopyrite between 57-62 meters. Below the oxide cap, two deeper zones showed elevated mineralization: 1.5% chalcopyrite at 203-213 meters and 2% chalcopyrite at 379-400 meters. The presence of potassic alteration zones persisting to the end of the hole suggests proximity to the system's potassic core.
The company has commenced drilling on hole C (S-052), which steps out approximately 50 meters north of hole B. The ongoing 2025 campaign, which targets up to 4,000 meters of drilling, focuses on expanding the existing discovery at Star Main and exploring multiple targets within the 6,829-hectare Star Project.
Star Copper Corp. (OTC:STCUF) ha annunciato risultati significativi dal suo secondo foro di sondaggio (S-051) presso il progetto principale Star nella Golden Triangle della British Columbia. Il foro, completato a una profondità di 539 metri, ha ampliato con successo l'impronta della mineralizzazione di rame-oro sia in profondità che in direzione orizzontale.
I risultati principali includono una copertura supergene vicino alla superficie con picchi locali di 1,25% di calcopirite tra 57 e 62 metri. Sotto la copertura ossidata, due zone più profonde hanno mostrato mineralizzazione elevata: 1,5% di calcopirite a 203-213 metri e 2% di calcopirite a 379-400 metri. La presenza di zone di alterazione potassica fino alla fine del foro suggerisce la vicinanza al nucleo potassico del sistema.
L'azienda ha iniziato la perforazione del foro C (S-052), che si estende di circa 50 metri a nord rispetto al foro B. La campagna in corso per il 2025, che prevede fino a 4.000 metri di perforazioni, si concentra sull'espansione della scoperta esistente a Star Main e sull'esplorazione di molteplici obiettivi all'interno del progetto Star, che copre un'area di 6.829 ettari.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTC:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a critical mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to provide the latest update regarding its ongoing drill campaign at its
The second drillhole of the current campaign boosts the case for a high-grade copper porphyry center at the Star Main project area. Drillhole B has confirmed a supergene cap near surface and has extended the copper footprint down-dip and along strike from the previous hole.
Company CEO, Darryl Jones notes, "We're systematically unlocking the value of a
Drillhole B (S-051) is completed. It collared 60m west of S-050 at, was drilled to 539m, the fourth deepest in the property's history. The hole was drilled to confirm and extend near surface supergene copper-gold mineralization, characterize mineralization related to the Star Fault, and to test the depth of mineralization below 200m.
From surface to roughly 90 m, plagioclase porphyry and lapilli tuff units are intruded by a sequence of strongly oxidized and silicified quartz-diorite containing numerous fractures and vein hosted copper mineralization. Malachite- and azurite-coated fractures form a supergene blanket that upgrades earlier chalcopyrite, with local peaks of 1.25 % chalcopyrite between 57-62 m.
Below the oxide cap, primary chalcopyrite occurs as disseminations and B-type quartz-sulphide veinlets, highlighted by two deeper zones of elevated tenor: 203-213 m (to 1.5 % chalcopyrite) and 379-400 m (to
S-051 confirms high-grade copper mineralization near surface, with strong potassic alteration zones persisting to the end of hole at 539m deep (see figure 1). Vein hosted and disseminated copper mineralization continues beneath the supergene cap, extending the copper footprint down-dip and along strike from S-050, significantly strengthening the case for a large, high-grade porphyry Cu (±Au) centre at Star Main.
Drillhole C (S-052) is underway and steps out approximately 50 meters north of hole B (S-051) to test the extent of the supergene copper enrichment zone and evaluate the continuity of the mineralized domain at depth. The crew reports coring is underway and initially encountered abrasive ground at 124m. The team reamed the hole to bottom and advanced to 127m at which point the HQ (2 ½" diameter) rods were withdrawn and replaced with NQ (1 ⅞" diameter) rods to improve efficiency and have continued drilling to a depth of 155m currently. The latest report indicates the core has improved and drilling continues as planned.
The plan is to intersect the 142 meters grading
Campaign Strategy
As described in the June 10th, 2025 news release, the fully funded 2025 campaign is focused on expanding the existing discovery at Star Main, in addition to enhanced exploration at the multiple targets within the Star Project. The Company has targeted the Star Main, Star North, and Star East prospects. Drilling is targeting (i) the near-surface oxide zones, (ii) deep porphyry-style mineralization, and (iii) structures associated with the "Star Fault" and "Dick Creek Fault" with up to 4,000 meters of drilling. The Star Main discovery contains an extensive, near-surface, supergene zone, and the current campaign (see May 27, 2025 news release) was designed to test both the lateral and vertical continuity of mineralized zones previously identified from over
