Super Copper Announces Up to 5.0 g/t Gold Mineralization at the Castilla Project

CUPR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Super Copper reports historic rock‑grab samples from the Castilla Project yielding up to 5.0 g/t Au and up to 5.5 % Cu, confirming gold presence within quartz‑carbonate veins associated with copper mineralization.
  • A total of 93 new surface rock samples have been collected in 2025; assay results are pending and will be used to refine a Phase I drill targeting model.
  • The company is expanding its systematic surface sampling program (≈100 samples) and integrating detailed mapping, geochemistry, and ground magnetic surveys to define the gold‑copper relationship across multiple target zones.

Key Details

  • Assay Highlights:
  • Historical grab samples (late 2023) returned 5.0 g/t Au and 5.5 % Cu.
  • Sampling Program:
  • 93 rock chip samples collected in 2025 from priority zones; results expected “in the coming weeks.”
  • Near‑100 total samples now submitted for laboratory analysis.
  • Geological Context:
  • Gold mineralization occurs within at least two generations of quartz‑carbonate veins and copper‑bearing iron‑oxide systems.
  • Veins are hosted by altered diorite intrusives with magnetite‑bearing structures, trending N‑S to NW.
  • Project Scope:
  • Castilla Project covers ~7,200 ha across 25 exploration concessions in northern Chile.
  • Future Work Plan:
  • Ongoing detailed surface mapping, systematic sampling, and ground magnetic surveys.
  • Data will feed into a Phase I drill targeting model to test the gold‑copper relationship.
  • Quality Assurance/Control:
  • Samples analyzed by ALS Global Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited).
  • Duplicates, blanks, and SRMs used; chain of custody maintained.
  • Qualified Person Statement:
  • Technical information reviewed and approved by Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo., QP under NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“These early gold values are a significant addition to our exploration opportunity at Castilla. They confirm that our system carries both copper and precious metal potential, a key characteristic of some of Chile's most productive deposits.” – Zachary Dolesky, CEO


Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (the discovery of economically significant gold grades alongside copper at a large, multi‑concession project represents a materially positive development for the company’s valuation and future drilling plans.)
