Super Copper Completes Phase 1 Exploration Program at its Flagship Cordillera Cobre Project in Atacama, Chile

CUPR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Super Copper Corp. completed its Phase 1 exploration program at the Cordillera Cobre Project in Chile’s Atacama copper belt.
  • The program included verification of historical drill core, systematic surface and underground sampling (102 rock samples), and extensive ground geophysical surveys (≈800 ha magnetometry; 10 km IP lines).
  • Results are being processed; the company will use them to define Phase 2 drill targets with an update expected in the coming weeks.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: Field work conducted throughout 2025 across three priority zones – El Alto, Calcite Hill, and additional northern corridor prospects.
  • Drill Core Verification: All 1,500 m of historical diamond drilling from 2008 at El Alto were relogged; ~354 m (≈25 %) of core sampled under QA/QC protocols.
  • Surface & Underground Sampling: 102 rock samples collected from outcrops, trenches, and historic mine workings for geochemical analysis by ALS Laboratories (Chile).
  • Ground Magnetometry Survey: Completed over >800 ha covering Calcite Hill and El Alto to delineate structural trends and potential mineralized corridors.
  • Induced Polarization (IP) Survey: 10 line‑kilometres total (5 lines each over Calcite Hill and El Alto, spaced ~200 m apart) aimed at mapping disseminated sulphide mineralisation and deeper conductive targets.
  • Data Status: All core and rock samples submitted for analysis; geophysical datasets are being processed with results expected in the coming weeks.
  • Next Steps: Technical team to compile and interpret data, prioritize high‑potential zones, and announce Phase 2 drill target definitions and early‑2026 fieldwork plans.
  • Qualified Person Statement: Information prepared/approved by Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo., independent QP under NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“We’re extremely encouraged by what we’ve seen on the ground at Cordillera… The groundwork we’ve completed sets the stage for an exciting next phase as we move toward defining our first drill targets.” – Zachary Dolesky, CEO, Super Copper Corp.
