Star Copper Confirms Southwest Expansion of Mineralization at Star Main Target
Star Copper Corp. (OTCQX:STCUF) has announced preliminary results from diamond drill Hole D (S-053B) at its 100%-owned Star Copper-Gold Project in northwestern British Columbia. The hole, drilled 65 metres southwest of Hole B, reached a depth of 184 metres and successfully confirmed mineralization expansion on the southwest side of Star Main.
The drill hole encountered oxide-to-transitional zones with malachite and azurite coatings near surface, followed by copper mineralization hosted as disseminated chalcopyrite and quartz-sulphide veinlets. Notable mineralized intervals were identified across five distinct zones. This is part of the company's 2025 summer drill campaign, which aims to complete up to 4,000 meters of drilling across six primary holes, with holes A through D now completed.
Star Copper Corp. (OTCQX:STCUF) ha annunciato risultati preliminari dal foro diamantato D (S-053B) del suo Progetto Star Copper-Gold, di proprietà al 100% nel nord-ovest della British Columbia. Il foro, realizzato a 65 metri a sud-ovest del foro B, ha raggiunto una profondità di 184 metri e ha confermato l'espansione della mineralizzazione sul lato sud-ovest di Star Main.
Il foro ha intercettato zone da ossidate a di transizione con incrostazioni di malachite e azzurrite in prossimità della superficie, seguite da mineralizzazione di rame sotto forma di calcopirite disseminata e piccole vene quarzo-solfidee. Intervalli mineralizzati significativi sono stati identificati in cinque zone distinte. Questo fa parte della campagna di perforazione estiva 2025 della società, che punta a completare fino a 4.000 metri di perforazioni su sei fori principali, con i fori A–D ormai completati.
Star Copper Corp. (OTCQX:STCUF) anunció resultados preliminares del sondeo diamantado Hole D (S-053B) en su Proyecto Star Copper-Gold, propiedad al 100% en el noroeste de la Columbia Británica. El pozo, perforado a 65 metros al suroeste del Hole B, alcanzó una profundidad de 184 metros y confirmó la expansión de la mineralización en el lado suroeste de Star Main.
El sondeo atravesó zonas de óxido a transición con recubrimientos de malaquita y azurita cerca de la superficie, seguidas por mineralización de cobre alojada como calcopirita diseminada y filonillos cuarzo-sulfurados. Se identificaron intervalos mineralizados destacados en cinco zonas distintas. Esto forma parte de la campaña de perforación de verano 2025 de la compañía, que pretende completar hasta 4.000 metros de perforación en seis pozos principales, con los pozos A a D ya finalizados.
Star Copper Corp. (OTCQX:STCUF)는 자사 100% 소유 Star Copper-Gold 프로젝트의 다이아몬드 시추공 D(S-053B) 예비 결과를 발표했습니다. 이 공은 Hole B에서 남서쪽으로 65미터 떨어진 위치에 시추돼 184미터까지 도달했으며 Star Main의 남서쪽에서 광화대 확장을 확인했습니다.
시추구간에서는 지표 부근의 산화~천이대에서 말라카이트와 아주라이트 코팅이 관찰되었고, 이후에는 분산된 칼코파이라이트(황동석)와 석영-황화 광맥 형태의 구리 광화가 확인되었습니다. 주목할 만한 광화 구간은 다섯 개의 별도 구역에서 확인되었습니다. 이는 회사의 2025년 여름 시추 캠페인의 일환으로, 6개의 주요 시추공에서 최대 4,000미터를 목표로 하며 A~D 공은 이미 완료되었습니다.
Star Copper Corp. (OTCQX:STCUF) a annoncé des résultats préliminaires du forage diamanté Hole D (S-053B) sur son projet Star Copper-Gold détenu à 100% dans le nord‑ouest de la Colombie‑Britannique. Le trou, foré à 65 mètres au sud‑ouest du trou B, a atteint une profondeur de 184 mètres et a confirmé l'extension de la minéralisation du côté sud‑ouest de Star Main.
Le forage a traversé des zones oxydées à de transition avec des revêtements de malachite et d'azurite près de la surface, suivies d'une minéralisation en cuivre sous forme de chalcopyrite disséminée et de filonnets quartz‑sulfureux. Des intervalles minéralisés notables ont été identifiés sur cinq zones distinctes. Cela s'inscrit dans la campagne de forage estivale 2025 de la société, qui vise à réaliser jusqu'à 4 000 mètres de forage répartis sur six trous principaux, les trous A à D étant désormais complétés.
Star Copper Corp. (OTCQX:STCUF) hat vorläufige Ergebnisse aus dem Diamantbohrloch D (S-053B) seines 100%igen Star Copper-Gold-Projekts in Nordwest-British Columbia bekannt gegeben. Das Bohrloch, das 65 Meter südwestlich von Loch B niedergebracht wurde, erreichte eine Tiefe von 184 Metern und bestätigte eine Erweiterung der Mineralisierung an der Südwestseite von Star Main.
Das Bohrloch durchteufte von der Oberfläche beginnende Oxid- bis Übergangsbereiche mit Malachit- und Azuritauflagerungen, gefolgt von Kupfermineralisierung in Form von disseminierter Chalkopyrit und quarz-sulfidischen Aderchen. Bedeutende mineralisierte Intervalle wurden in fünf getrennten Zonen identifiziert. Dies ist Teil der Sommerbohrkampagne 2025 des Unternehmens, die darauf abzielt, bis zu 4.000 Meter in sechs Hauptlöchern zu bohren; die Löcher A bis D sind inzwischen abgeschlossen.
- Confirmation of mineralization expansion to the southwest of Star Main target
- Successfully identified five notable mineralized intervals in Hole D

- Building on previous $10 million exploration investment
- Results are preliminary with assays still pending
- Limited depth of Hole D at 184 metres compared to previous holes
Hole D core samples refine and support continuity of system footprint
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 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 provide an update on the 2025 Summer drill campaign at its
Drilled 65 metres southwest of Hole B (S-051) near a significant copper-gold soil and trench anomaly, Hole D was designed to test the southwest flank of current drilling and historic sampling, targeting extensions of mineralization across the Star Fault zone.
Hole D reached a total depth of 184 metres and intersected predominantly quartz monzodiorite with local monzonite, crosscut by several narrow fault zones, including the main Star Fault between 93.25 and 104 metres. From near surface (~26 m), the hole encountered an oxide-to-transitional zone with malachite and azurite coatings, consistent with the supergene cap developed above major structures at Star.

Below the oxide cap, copper mineralization is hosted as disseminated chalcopyrite and in quartz-sulphide veinlets, locally intensifying within zones of veining, brecciation, and potassic alteration. Notable mineralized intervals include:
77.8-82.4m
116.6-121.25m
151.5-155m
164-171m
171.2-178.75m
These results confirm copper mineralization on the southwest side of Star Main and refine the structural and intrusive controls across the Star Fault zone, supporting continuity of mineralization and expanding the footprint of the system in this direction.
"Hole D demonstrates that the Star system continues to grow in multiple directions," stated Darryl Jones, CEO of Star Copper. "This step-out confirms our geologic model and opens up further potential for expansion to the southwest, an area with strong copper-gold surface anomalies and favourable host rocks."
The 2025 summer drill campaign has been designed to test both the lateral and vertical continuity of mineralized zones previously identified from over
The Company continues to compile results from the ongoing program and will provide additional updates as assays are received and interpreted.
