About this update from Star Copper Corp.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2026 / 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 early season exploration and mobilization update for its fully funded 2026 exploration program at its flagship Star Project in northwestern British Columbia. The Company has now completed drill pad construction across multiple satellite targets, including Star North, Star East, and Copper Creek. This marks a major milestone ahead of the commencement of exploration drilling designed to test the broader district-scale porphyry potential of the overall Star Project. HighlightsDrill pads are constructed at Star North, Star East, and Copper Creek targets.Early season drilling aims to test satellite targets and evaluate a district-scale porphyry model.Camp refurbishment and infrastructure expansion completed to support larger 2026 program.Initial drilling to be followed by 3D IP and MT geophysical surveys.Follow up drilling post-IP will allow for additional and deeper targeted drill testing.Second drill rig and crew scheduled to arrive in early June.The 2026 program represents the largest and most comprehensive exploration campaign completed on the property to date and is designed to systematically evaluate multiple targets that exhibit geological, geochemical, and geophysical signatures analogous to Star Main. Company CEO Darryl Jones notes, "Completing drill pad construction across four priority targets is an important operational milestone as we move into what we believe will be a transformational season for the Star Project." At Star East, the Company is preparing to conduct the first meaningful drilling of a large, (approximately 1 km × 1 km) coincident geophysical and geochemical anomaly located roughly 500 metres east of Star Main. Star East is by far the largest footprint of the 5 porphyry targets but is largely covered with outcrops so no exposed mineralization has been uncovered. The target shares several characteristics with Star Main and is considered a priority discovery target for the 2026 season (see Figure 1),Figure 1- Drill program target areas.
