Star Copper Confirms Copper Creek Mineralization
Executive Summary
- Inaugural drill hole CC‑25‑001 at Copper Creek intersected a high‑grade interval of 57.0 m @ 0.614% CuEq (0.313% Cu, 0.294 g/t Au) within a broader 111 m @ 0.348% CuEq zone.
- Drill hole SN‑25‑001 at Star North confirmed a fertile porphyry‑style alteration system and returned modest but significant copper‑gold vectoring, including 48 m @ 0.095% CuEq (0.076% Cu, 0.019 g/t Au).
- Both results materially improve confidence in the broader “porphyry cluster” model and support an aggressive 2026 follow‑up drilling campaign across the satellite targets.

Geological Context
- Copper Creek lies ~2.5 km SE of Star Main within a historic copper‑gold corridor; drilling intersected deformed volcanic‑sedimentary rocks with chlorite‑epidote alteration and intense sulphide veining.
-
Star North is ~1 km NE of Star Main, overlying a strong IP chargeability anomaly; drill core shows intrusive‑volcanic sequence (porphyry, quartz monzodiorite) with patchy potassic overprint and sulphide‑bearing veins.
-
Operational Outlook
- Both satellite targets are now top priority for the 2026 drilling program; planning is fully funded.
- Company expects aggressive follow‑up drilling to test additional porphyry centres across the broader property.
Notable Quotes
“These inaugural satellite holes are important because they show that Star is not just a single‑zone story centered on Star Main,” said Darryl Jones, CEO. “Copper Creek has now delivered a strong first‑pass drill result, while Star North shows the right alteration and sulphide signatures to justify aggressive follow‑up.”
