Star Copper Mobilizes 2025 Summer Exploration Targeting Expansion of Existing Discovery
Star Copper Corp. announced that equipment and crew have been mobilized to shortly commence drilling and other exploration activities in the field. Today's news officially kicks off Star Copper's 2025 drill plans at its asset, the Star Project, located in the heart of the prolific industry recognized "Golden Triangle" of northwestern British Columbia. The Star Project spans 6,829 hectares and is 100% owned by Star Copper. The property, and this current exploration program, are fully permitted under a Multi-Year Area-Based (MYAB) Notice of Work, enabling current and future exploration. The fully funded $2.5 million campaign is scheduled to run until August 15, 2025, and incorporates a strategic plan already underway with the field crew currently moving to build a base camp supported by full onsite logistical capabilities. Once established, the team will situate new drill pads to undertake a 3,500metre diamond drill core sampling program based on six drill holes with an additional 650 metres of contingency drilling allocated. Key program objectives include: Expanding the known mineralized envelope of the Star Main zone. Testing deeper porphyry potential and structural offsets. Following up on mineralization associated with the recently modeled Star Fault. Drill Targeting Basis. The program will utilize integrated 3D inversion modeling of 2013 airborne magnetic data, which was completed by Ronacher MacKenzie Geoscience. The new geophysical interpretation, along with trench mapping and core analysis, has confirmed a complex left-lateral strike-slip system and defined key structural features identified as: The Star Fault: A mineralized thrust-related structure that segments higher-grade mineralization in the northeast and offsets deeper mineralization to the southwest. The Dick Creek Fault and Hackett Valley Fault: Large-scale regional fault corridors that outline the structural controls of mineral emplacement. The refined modeling is being used to position drill holes to test both near-surface and deep mineralization, including areas previously untested by drilling. Selected Drill Targets for 2025. The planned holes include follow-ups on the following successful historical intercepts: Hole S025: 200m @ 0.49% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au.

Once constructed, the new drill pads will also test untested magnetic anomalies, soil geochemical highs, and deep extensions of chargeability zones with the goal of expanding the known deposit at Star, both laterally as well to depth. Drill holes have not exceeded 660m in previous programs but the mineralization down hole shows the potential for much deeper targeting. The extensive supergene zone discovered at surface is exceptionally rare and the Company is excited to enhance the historic drilling with its own program this summer. Qualified Person.
