The exploration plan concluded with the first modern drilling test, which was named CC-25-001.
Star Copper stated that its 2025 exploration activities highlight the ongoing mining potential of the Copper Creek target within the Star Project, located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Situated 2.5 kilometers southeast of the Star Main exploration area, this target has progressed from a conceptual stage to a drill-ready zone. During the campaign, Star Copper constructed a trail from Star Main and completed a soil sampling grid consisting of 32 sites in areas with high induced polarization (IP) chargeability along the upstream watershed of Copper Creek. Additionally, the Canadian mineral exploration and development company conducted a detailed survey of the Copper Creek gully system, collecting 36 rock samples in the process.
The exploration program concluded with the first modern drilling test, designated CC-25-001. The borehole was drilled to the west, aiming to evaluate and characterize the copper-gold mineralization reported during drilling conducted in the 1970s (ARIS 80026), which was located within a broader soil anomaly zone showing elevated copper and gold levels, measuring approximately 550 meters by 1,000 meters. The drill hole encountered sequences of heavily fractured and sheared andesitic breccia tuff interbedded with dark-colored flinty sedimentary layers, commonly exhibiting brecciation as well as intense chlorite-epidote alteration zones.
Star Copper CEO Darryl Jones stated: "The 2025 activity—including geophysical mapping, soil sampling, and the first drill hole—has collectively confirmed the continuity of historical copper mineralization, significantly advancing the Copper Creek project as we move closer to identifying the porphyry-style ore source driving the drainage-scale anomalies." "The drilling data has markedly expanded the overall scale of our Star project, while also providing initial insights into the potential for a large-scale, regionally significant copper deposit. We are currently compiling the results from the 2025 fieldwork and look forward to announcing the assay results from the CC-25-001 drill hole, along with the associated sampling findings. These results will undoubtedly have a substantial—and potentially highly positive—influence on our 2026 plans, as we aim to ramp up targeted drilling efforts to further validate the Copper Creek exploration target." Core observations reveal that chalcopyrite occurs in discrete intervals as quartz-skarn vein-like material, as well as in semi-massive forms associated with shear zones, intermixed with magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization. The success of this exploration campaign has already laid a solid foundation for Star Copper’s 2026 exploration program. The company has now turned its attention to the northern geophysical target area, where additional drilling is planned to further enhance the project’s footprint. Star Copper remains focused on developing high-potential copper projects in mining-friendly regions.
