Star Copper Provides Site Visit Update of Ongoing Drill Campaign in British Columbia's Golden Triangle
Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) has provided an update on its ongoing maiden drill program at the Star Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The company has completed holes A and B, with hole C currently in progress, as part of a 4,000-meter drilling campaign across six primary drill holes.
The drilling campaign, building on $10 million in prior exploration, has revealed significant mineralization, including intense potassium feldspar alteration and quartz-calcite-chalcopyrite veins. Additionally, Star Copper has secured a permit extension through March 31, 2028, allowing for up to 200 drill holes and 5 kilometers of access road construction.
Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) ha fornito un aggiornamento sul suo programma di perforazione inaugurale in corso presso il Star Project nel Golden Triangle della British Columbia. La società ha completato i fori A e B, mentre il foro C è attualmente in fase di realizzazione, nell'ambito di una campagna di perforazione di 4.000 metri suddivisa in sei fori principali.
Questa campagna, che si basa su 10 milioni di dollari di esplorazioni precedenti, ha evidenziato una mineralizzazione significativa, inclusa una intensa alterazione da feldspato potassico e vene di quarzo-calcite-calcopirite. Inoltre, Star Copper ha ottenuto un'estensione del permesso fino al 31 marzo 2028, che consente fino a 200 fori di perforazione e la costruzione di 5 chilometri di strade di accesso.

Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) hat ein Update zu seinem laufenden ersten Bohrprogramm im Star Project im Golden Triangle von British Columbia veröffentlicht. Das Unternehmen hat die Bohrlöcher A und B abgeschlossen, während Bohrloch C derzeit in Arbeit ist, im Rahmen einer 4.000-Meter-Bohrkampagne mit sechs Hauptbohrlöchern.
Die Kampagne baut auf 10 Millionen Dollar an vorheriger Exploration auf und hat bedeutende Mineralisierungen zutage gefördert, darunter intensive Kaliumfeldspat-Alteration sowie Quarz-Kalzits-Chalkopyrit-Adern. Zudem hat Star Copper eine Genehmigungsverlängerung bis zum 31. März 2028 erhalten, die bis zu 200 Bohrlöcher und den Bau von 5 Kilometern Zufahrtsstraßen erlaubt.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 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 ongoing maiden drill program at its flagship Star Project located within the Golden Triangle, an area recognized as one of British Columbia's most geologically endowed regions. The fully funded campaign is focused on expanding the existing discovery at the Star Project, by increasing its knowledge regarding the Star Main, Star North, East and West target locations.
Campaign Strategy
The 2025 drill campaign is designed to test both the lateral and vertical continuity of mineralized zones previously identified from over

Drilling Update
The Company is currently drilling Hole C (S-052), which represents a ~50-metre step-out north of Hole B (S-051). Designed to test the continuity of near-surface supergene copper enrichment and to vector into deeper potassic-altered porphyry-style mineralization it continues to build upon the success of Holes A and B in confirming a large, vertically and laterally extensive mineralized system at Star.
At a depth of 200 metres, Hole C has intersected a heavily fractured and veined section characterized by broad zones of intense potassium feldspar (K-spar) alteration. This alteration occurs within and adjacent to a stockwork halo of quartz-calcite-K-spar-chlorite-chalcopyrite veins, further confirming a significant potassic-altered intrusive system. Additionally, intervals of intense gypsum-calcite veining were observed, reinforcing the presence of strong hydrothermal overprint See Figure 2).
Figure 2-Star Main S-052 at 213m, Star Copper 2025
The mineralization style is defined by quartz-feldspar-chalcopyrite stockworks with fracture-controlled chalcopyrite dissemination. Surface to mid-depth sections continue to display strong supergene features, including vivid azurite and malachite staining-evidence of a well-preserved supergene copper cap (See Figure 3).

Permitting Update
Star Copper is also pleased to report that its Multi-Year Area-Based (MYAB) exploration permit has been extended a further two years pursuant to British Columbia's deemed authorization process established under the Permitting Regulation of the Mines Act. The Company is now fully permitted through March 31, 2028, and is authorized to drill up to 200 holes, construct 5 kilometres of access roads, and undertake trenching and related surface work across the Star property.
The company has also been provided notice by the BC government of a land use planning exercise being undertaken in 16,000,000 hectares of Northeast BC. This includes a one-year pause of filing new mineral claims in a third of this area (including the project area) but allows permitting and exploration for existing projects and mineral claims to take place.
Management Site Visit
Recently, Company Chairman Brad Nichol and CEO Darryl Jones visited the Star Project and expressed strong confidence in its potential (See Figure 4).

"Coming from an extraordinary success in developing early stage assets at Alpha Lithium, I feel as though Star could be on the verge of delivering some fantastic results," stated Brad Nichol. "Company management feels that Jeremy Hanson and the team have instilled a high level of confidence that we are building out BC's next big copper-gold story in the Golden Triangle."
