Maiden drilling program mobilizing at the El Alto target: up to 15 holes (~5,000 m) testing an 800 m-plus chargeability corridor within a 3.5 km mineralized trend
Two-project pipeline advancing: Phase 1 geophysics completed at the Castilla project, next-stage drill targeting underway
Fully funded: treasury strengthened by the March 2026 financing, funding the Company's planned 2026 exploration programs
Proprietary biopolymer technology in development for copper processing and remediation
VANCOUVER, BC, July 8, 2026 /CNW/ - Super Copper Corp. (CSE: CUPR) (OTCQB: CUPPF) (FSE: N60) ("Super Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a corporate update across its two copper projects in Chile's Atacama Region, its material science division, and its strengthened balance sheet. With its maiden drilling program starting imminently, a fully funded treasury, the Company believes it is entering the most active period in its history.
"The next six months will define Super Copper. Drilling at El Alto gives us our first real test of the Cordillera thesis we've spent two years building, Castilla is advancing toward its own maiden drill targets, and our material science division is working towards technology upside that doesn't depend on any single drill hole. We are fully funded for these immediate exploration programs. What we've assembled is a company with multiple, independent ways to create value, and we look forward to developments from each of them," said Zachary Dolesky, CEO of Super Copper.
Why Copper, Why Now
Accelerating demand: Data centres, power grids, and industrial automation continue to drive structural growth in copper consumption.
Tightening supply: Aging mines and declining ore grades are widely cited as constraining new supply, supporting a constructive long-term price environment.
Premier jurisdiction: Chile is the world's leading copper-producing nation, with established mining infrastructure and a permitting and investment framework supportive of exploration and development, and Super Copper holds two projects in its Atacama Region.
Project Updates
Cordillera Cobre Project: Drilling Imminent
As announced on June 30, 2026, the Company is mobilizing for its maiden diamond drill program at the El Alto target. Platforms are built, access roads are complete, and the rig is moving to site.
Phase 1 contemplates up to 15 holes for approximately 5,000 metres across eight platforms, testing an 800 m-plus chargeability corridor defined by induced polarization (IP) surveying, coincident with a 3.5 km magnetic corridor linking the El Alto and Calcite Hill targets. A steady cadence of assay results is expected throughout the program.
