– 2025 exploration investigates extent of known calc-alkalic porphyry copper-gold system VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 10, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTCQB:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a critical mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to announce commencement of the 2025 drill program at its 6,829-hectare (~16,875 acre) at its flagship Star Project in British Columbia. Drilling will focus on expanding the existing discovery at Star Main, and may expand to Star North or Star East, should the current field sampling in either of those prospects warrant it. The Star Project, located in British Columbia's "Golden Triangle" is 100% owned, 100% funded, and fully permitted. The drill campaign has recently been upsized (see June 3rd press release). The $2.5 million program now plans over 4,000 meters of diamond drilling, builds on over $10 million of previous exploration progress, and is guided by detailed 3D magnetic inversion models and a refined structural interpretation. New drill pads have been constructed at the Star Main discovery (Figure 1, below) and equipment can be mobilized between drill pads via existing roads and trails over manageable terrain and does not require helicopter support, which dramatically decreased the budget of the entire campaign. The drill equipment arrived on site and was prepared for immediate operation. The Star Main discovery contains an extensive, near-surface, supergene zone, which the Company is exceptionally excited about expanding and enhancing through additional drilling this summer. This summer's drill campaign will also extend beyond previous drilled depths where mineralization was present, but drill rig capacity was not. The planned drill holes are intended to test (i) existing magnetic anomalies, (ii) geochemical highs in soils, and (iii) deepen and laterally extend chargeability zones, all with the expectation of expanding the known deposit at Star Main. As described in a news release on May 27, 2025, the current drill plan is designed to test both the lateral and vertical continuity of mineralized zones previously identified with over $10 million in prior drilling and exploration campaigns, as well as newly modelled magnetic and chargeability anomalies. The 2025 plan targets both the near-surface oxide zones, deep p...
