Star Copper Reports Balance of Phase 1 Drill Results Extending Supergene Zone Southwest

Star Copper Corp. has announced the completion of Phase 1 drill results from holes S-053, S-054A, and S-055, with the most significant intersection coming from hole S-055 which returned 311 meters of 0.42% copper equivalent. The results demonstrate a southwest extension of the supergene zone, which is particularly valuable as supergene copper deposits typically contain higher-grade, easier-to-process oxide mineralization near surface.

The extension of the supergene zone represents an important development for the project's resource potential, as oxide copper mineralization is generally more amenable to heap leach processing methods, which can reduce capital and operating costs compared to traditional flotation methods. The substantial intersection length of 311 meters in hole S-055 suggests good continuity of mineralization in this southwest direction.

For the copper sector, these results add to the growing inventory of copper projects in British Columbia at a time when copper demand continues to strengthen due to electrification trends and renewable energy infrastructure development. The strengthening of the overall oxide footprint positions Star Copper to potentially advance toward resource estimation work in future phases of exploration. The company's multi-exchange listing on CSE, OTCQX, and Frankfurt provides good market access for future financing needs as the project advances.
