Star Copper Reports Overlimit Samples, Increases Grade Profile from Surface
Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) has reported significant drill results from its Phase 1 campaign, highlighting substantial copper and gold mineralization. The company announced notable intersections including 226.54m at 0.70% CuEq from Hole S-051, 93m at 0.93% CuEq from Hole S-050, and 397m at 0.37% CuEq from Hole S-052.
The results confirm a broad near-surface supergene copper enrichment blanket at Star Main, covering 300 x 250m to a depth of 100m. Multiple intervals showed copper grades at or above the analytical upper limit of 1.00% Cu. The drilling program has enhanced understanding of the relationship between the project's fault structure and grade of the supergene zone through the clarification of transition to hypogene copper mineralization.
Additional Phase 1 results and data from three more holes are expected in the coming weeks.Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) ha riportato significativi risultati di trivellazione dalla sua campagna di Fase 1, evidenziando una sostanziale mineralizzazione di rame e oro. L'azienda ha annunciato intersezioni notevoli tra cui 226,54 m a 0,70% CuEq dalla perforazione S-051, 93 m a 0,93% CuEq dalla perforazione S-050, e 397 m a 0,37% CuEq dalla perforazione S-052.
I risultati confermano una diffusa copertura di arricchimento supergene a ridosso della superficie a Star Main, che va da 300 x 250 m fino a una profondità di 100 m. Diversi intervalli hanno mostrato gradi di rame pari o superiori al limite analitico superiore di 1,00% Cu. Il programma di trivellazione ha migliorato la comprensione della relazione tra la struttura di fault del progetto e la gradezza della zona supergene attraverso la chiarificazione del passaggio verso la mineralizzazione di tipo ipogeno.
Ulteriori risultati di Fase 1 e dati provenienti da altre tre perforazioni sono attesi nelle prossime settimane.Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) ha reportado resultados significativos de perforación de su campaña de Fase 1, destacando una mineralización sustancial de cobre y oro. La compañía anunció intersecciones notables, entre ellas 226,54 m con 0,70% CuEq en la perforación S-051, 93 m con 0,93% CuEq en la S-050, y 397 m con 0,37% CuEq en la S-052.
Los resultados confirman una amplia capa de enriquecimiento supergene cercana a la superficie en Star Main, que abarca 300 x 250 m a una profundidad de 100 m. Varios intervalos mostraron cotizaciones de cobre iguales o superiores al límite analítico superior de 1,00% Cu. El programa de perforación ha mejorado la comprensión de la relación entre la estructura de fallas del proyecto y el grado de la zona supergene al aclarar la transición hacia la mineralización de cobre hipogénico.
Se esperan más resultados de Fase 1 y datos de tres perforaciones adicionales en las próximas semanas.Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF)가 1단계 캠페인에서 중요한 시추 결과를 발표했으며, 상당한 구리 및 금 광화가 확인되었습니다. 회사는 S-051 구멍에서 226.54m를 0.70% CuEq로, S-050 구멍에서 93m를 0.93% CuEq로, S-052 구멍에서 397m를 0.37% CuEq로 각각의 주목할 만한 교차를 발표했습니다.
이 결과는 Star Main에서 지표면에 근접한 슈퍼겐 구리 풍부화층이 넓게 형성되어 있음을 확인합니다. 면적은 300 x 250 m, 깊이 100 m까지입니다. 여러 구간에서 구리 등급이 분석상 상한치인 1.00% Cu에 도달하거나 그 이상인 것으로 나타났습니다. 시추 프로그램은 프로젝트의 단층 구조와 슈퍼진 구역의 등급 간의 관계를 이해하는 데 기여하였으며, 저형성(hypogene) 광물화로의 전이 과정을 명확히 하는 데 도움이 되었습니다.
추가적인 1단계 결과와 3개 더 구멍의 데이터는 앞으로 몇 주 안에 발표될 예정입니다.Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) a annoncé des résultats de forage significatifs de sa campagne de phase 1, mettant en évidence une minéralisation notable en cuivre et en or. La société a signalé des interceptions remarquables, notamment 226,54 m à 0,70% CuEq à partir du forage S-051, 93 m à 0,93% CuEq à partir du forage S-050 et 397 m à 0,37% CuEq à partir du forage S-052.
Les résultats confirment une vaste couche de renforcement supergène proche de la surface à Star Main, couvrant 300 x 250 m jusqu’à une profondeur de 100 m. Plusieurs intervalles ont montré des teneurs en cuivre égales ou supérieures à la limite analytique supérieure de 1,00% Cu. Le programme de forage a amélioré la compréhension de la relation entre la structure de faille du projet et le grade de la zone supergène en clarifiant la transition vers la minéralisation copper hyperigene.
Des résultats supplémentaires de la Phase 1 et des données de trois autres puits sont attendus dans les prochaines semaines.Star Copper (OTCQX:STCUF) hat signifikante Bohrresultate aus seiner Phase-1-Kampagne gemeldet und dabei beträchtliche Kupfer- und Goldmineralisierung hervorgehoben.

Die Ergebnisse bestätigen eine breite, flächennah liegende Supergene-Kupferanreicherungsschicht am Star Main, die sich über 300 x 250 m bis zu einer Tiefe von 100 m erstreckt. Mehrere Abschnitte zeigten Kupfergrade von oder über dem analytischen Obergrenze von 1,00% Cu. Das Bohrprogramm hat zu einem besseren Verständnis der Beziehung zwischen der Verwerfungsstruktur des Projekts und dem Gehalt der Supergene-Zone beigetragen, indem der Übergang zur hypogenen Kupfermineralisierung aufgeklärt wurde.

The first three holes all intersected significant supergene enriched mineralization in the first 100m with a transition to hypogene zonation below the fault structures showing vertical and lateral continuity at depth. Hole S-050, located 50m east of historic hole S-048, was stopped at 101m as it encountered clay gouges but ultimately delivered valuable information regarding the supergene cap. Hole S-051 was collared west of hole S-050 and intersected consistent supergene enrichment in the first 100m which transitioned to hypogene mineralization to a depth of 538m. Hole S-052 was collared 100m north of hole S-050 and was the deepest hole to date ending at approximately 674m. Again, this hole was successful in confirming the supergene system and subsequent transition to hypogene mineralization below the 100m threshold. Hole S-052 intersected a similar zone at the 200m depth level combined with the results including from S-051 confirming robust continuity (see Figure 1).
Overall, the oxide footprint currently shows that at surface the Star Project holds significant mineral potential. The secondary goal of the Phase 2 drilling will be to confirm hypogene in step outs at depth to increase deposit model confidence of mineralization expansion.
Key Takeaways and Outlook
Supergene mineralization and transition to Hypogene confirmed by first phase drilling showing the deposit model and consistent mineralization from top of hole to bottom.
Oxide cap open northeast and southwest of supergene zone outlining robust target for Phase 2 drilling which has commenced.
Additional assays pending for phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling.
Multiple targets to test nested porphyry cluster deposit model, Copper Creek and Star North.
QA/QC Statement
Star Copper Corp. follows industry standard protocols for diamond drilling and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures in British Columbia. All drilling is carried out using HQ and NQ sized diamond drill core. Drill core is transported from the drill site to a secure core logging facility where it is logged, photographed, and sampled under the supervision of geologists. Core is cut in half using a diamond saw, with one half of the core placed in a sealed sample bag and sent for analysis, and the other half retained on site for reference and further studies.
Samples are shipped under chain-of-custody protocols to Bureau Veritas Laboratories, an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. At Bureau Veritas, samples are dried, crushed, split, and pulverized to
