(CSE:STCU)(OTCQX:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a critical minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to report the completion of Hole E (S-054A) and progress on the final Phase 1 drill Hole F (S-055), at its flagship Star Project in northwestern British Columbia. Phase 1 drilling comprised six drill holes which have successfully expanded the known mineralized supergene footprint while refining geological and structural controls on copper mineralization.","length":581,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Hole E: Structural Zoning Confirmed in Chargeability HighHole S-054A was collared at the eastern margin of the Star Main system to test a coincident magnetic and IP chargeability high, with the objective of confirming mineralization continuity from historical hole S-025. The hole intersected a sequence of Late Triassic Stuhini Group volcanic and epiclastic rocks, overprinted by phyllic alteration with local potassic zones.","length":427,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Chalcopyrite mineralization was observed primarily as fine disseminations and in quartz-sulphide veinlets, often accompanied by pyrite. Multiple fault zones and breccias intersected throughout the hole helped map the structural framework guiding mineralization. The hole achieved its objective of clarifying alteration zonation and mineral controls across the geophysical anomaly, offering critical guidance for future step-out drilling.","length":437,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"For added clarity, supergene enrichment, also known as secondary enrichment, is a geological process where valuable metals are concentrated near the Earth's surface, enhancing the grade of existing mineralized deposits. Chalcopyrite mineralization refers to the occurrence of chalcopyrite, a copper iron sulfide mineral (CuFeS2), within various geological formations and mineralized deposits.","length":396,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Company CEO, Darryl Jones notes, "With the confirmation and extension of the supergene zone we continue to develop an increasingly clear picture of a very exciting ...
