Star Copper advances drilling at Star Project in BC, reinforces potential of robust porphyry system

Star Copper Corp CEO Darryl Jones joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s ongoing 2025 drill program at its flagship Star Project in British Columbia’s renowned Golden Triangle. The latest results, particularly from Hole C, build confidence in the continuity of copper mineralization at depth and support the presence of a large-scale porphyry copper system across the broader deposit area. The current drill campaign is targeting both lateral and vertical extensions of mineralized zones identified in over $10 million of historical exploration, including copper-gold intercepts from prior drill holes. The company is focusing on the Star Main zone, a 500-by-500 metre geochemical target, along with two adjacent targets—Star North and Star East—which show similar geophysical and geochemical signatures. All three areas are within a three-kilometre corridor that the company believes may represent a larger porphyry cluster. Jones also discussed ongoing fieldwork to prepare drill pads and trails, including at a grassroots area called Copper Creek. He emphasised that the Star Project is accessible year-round, which allows for sustained activity through late in the year. The 2025 campaign includes up to 4,000 metres of drilling across six primary holes (A through F). With Holes A, B, and C now complete and samples regularly being sent for assaying, crews are nearing the halfway mark in the program. Meanwhile, surface fieldwork continues in parallel, with mapping and trenching supporting drill targeting and geological interpretation. Star Copper is also benefitting from a recently extended Multi-Year Area-Based exploration permit, which allows for up to 200 holes, 5 km of roads, and expanded surface trenching. This regulatory greenlight significantly enhances the company’s flexibility and capacity for future drill programs across the expansive property. Jones emphasized that these developments mark an exciting phase for Star Copper as it works to systematically unlock the full potential of a prospective, copper-rich porphyry system in one of Canada’s most prolific mining regions. #proactiveinvestors #starcoppercorp #cse #stcu #otcqx #stcuf #CopperMining #CriticalMinerals #StarCopperCorp #DarrylJones #MineralExploration #DrillProgram #PorphyryDeposit #GreenTechMetals #ResourceInvesting #CanadianMining #JuniorMining #MiningUpdates
