Drill Hole S-060 returns 80.30m of 0.508% CuEq within 317.00m of 0.291% CuEq; S-059 returns 109.65m of 0.391% CuEq VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 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 announce the first drill results from the 2025 Phase 2 program at its flagship Star Project in northwestern British Columbia. Today's news reports on assay results and geological observations from six Star Main holes, S-056 through S-061 (Figures 1 to 3), drilled to expand the copper-gold system to the west, north and south, and to test the relationship between porphyry-style mineralization, potassic alteration, fault architecture and coincident IP chargeability anomalies. Highlights "These first Phase 2 results show that Star Main hosts multiple mineralized corridors, not a single isolated panel," said Darryl Jones, CEO of Star Copper. "What is particularly encouraging is the repeatability of the system: where we see the right combination of structure, potassic alteration and quartz-sulphide veining, we continue to intersect broad copper-gold intervals. With fresh flow-through capital now in place, we believe Star is well positioned for a much larger 2026 campaign focused on expanding Star Main and advancing the broader porphyry cluster across the property." Highlights Phase 2 drilling at Star Main focused on lateral expansion of mineralized corridors to the north, west and south, while also testing deeper hypogene mineralization to better constrain the structural and lithological controls on porphyry Cu-Au mineralization and their relationship to IP chargeability anomalies. The western drill holes (S-056 and S-057) confirmed a broad potassic-altered and chalcopyrite-bearing corridor west of S-055; the northern holes (S-058 through S-060) traced mineralization into volcanic and porphyritic host rocks associated with strong D- and B-type veining; and S-061 provided a shallow southern test of structurally controlled oxide to transitional copper mineralization. The Phase 2 Star Main results build directly on the Company's Phase 1 success in defining a broad supergene copper footprint and persistent hypogene mineralization at depth. S-056 and S-057 demonstrate that the western corridor remains o...
