Star Copper Drill Program Mobilizes Additional Rig at Copper Creek to Test High Value Historic Target in BC

Executive Summary

• Star Copper Corp. has completed all preparations for a maiden drill program at the newly defined Copper Creek target, located 2 km from its flagship Star Project in north‑western British Columbia.
• The target is drill‑ready after extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical work, including re‑interpreted 2013 IP and magnetic surveys and recent field validation of collar locations.
• Two initial drill holes (≈400 m total) will test historic mineralized intervals and high‑grade copper‑gold anomalies that are open in all directions, with mobilization expected within a week.

Key Details

• Target Overview: Copper Creek covers ~550 m × 1,000 m, featuring two strong Cu‑in‑soil anomalies, surface malachite‑azurite gossans, and IP chargeability highs.
• Geology: Main showing contains copper oxides, chalcopyrite, pyrite within propylitically altered volcanics; several exposures exceed 5,000 ppm Cu (XRF).
• Historic Work: Prospecting, trenching, limited drilling (1970), and 2013 geophysical surveys. Recent 2025 fieldwork confirmed structural controls and refined collar locations using 3‑D inversion and Leapfrog modelling.
• Planned Drill Program:
• Helicopter‑supported, pad construction complete.
• Two initial holes, ~400 m total depth, targeting:
  • Historic mineralized intervals from prior drilling.
  • High‑grade Cu‑Au soil/rock anomalies coincident with strong IP response.
• Timeline: Site setup and mobilization to commence within one week of release.
• QA/QC Protocols: HQ & NQ diamond core, split‑core handling, chain‑of‑custody to Bureau Veritas (ISO 17025), ≥5 % certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates; qualified person Jeremy Hanson, P.Geo., has reviewed the technical content.

Notable Quotes

• “Copper Creek represents an exciting step forward as we begin systematic testing of multiple high‑priority copper‑gold targets across the property,” – Darryl Jones, CEO, Star Copper Corp.
