VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 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 shareholders with an exploration update from its flagship Star Project in northwestern British Columbia, where ongoing drilling continues to reinforce management's confidence in the district-scale copper-gold potential of the property. The first follow-up drill hole of the 2026 project campaign at the Copper Creek location successfully intersected targeted geophysical features which resulted in the technical team at Hardline Exploration subsequently electing to extend drilling beyond the original planned depth after encountering continued alteration, sulphide mineralization, and favourable host rocks below the intended target horizon. Star Copper's management believes this development represents an important validation of the Company's exploration model and further supports the potential for Copper Creek to host a substantial copper-gold mineralized system. The decision to deepen the hole was made based on observations encountered during drilling and reflects the growing confidence of the technical team in the scale potential of the target. HighlightsFirst 2026 follow-up hole at Copper Creek successfully intersected targeted IP chargeability anomaly.Hole extended beyond planned depth after encountering continued mineralization below target depth.Strong alteration, sulphide mineralization and intrusive-hosted mineralized intervals observed throughout the lower portion of the hole.Drilling successfully tested coincident copper-gold soil anomalies and chargeability targets identified through recent exploration.Results continue to support Copper Creek as a significant copper-gold target within the broader Star district.Additional drilling planned to test the northern and southern extent of the Copper Creek mineralized corridor.3D IP and MT surveys scheduled to further refine district-scale targeting across the Star Project.CEO Commentary Darryl Jones, CEO of Star Copper, notes, "We are extremely encouraged by the performance of this first follow-up hole at Copper Creek. The hole successfully achieved all its geological objectives and, importantly, continued to encounter encouraging mineralization below our planned target depth. The decision to exten...
