Wedoany.com Report-Nov. 13, Star Copper reported that its 2025 exploration campaign advanced the Copper Creek target within the Star Project in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, demonstrating potential continuity for copper-gold mineralisation. The target, located 2.5 km southeast of the Star Main prospect, has progressed from a conceptual stage to drill-ready status.

The company has already accessed the northern geophysical target to plan additional drilling and further expand the overall project scope.

During the campaign, the company constructed trail access from Star Main and completed a 32-sample soil grid over a strong induced polarisation (IP) chargeability high in the upper Copper Creek drainage. Detailed mapping was also carried out, including 36 rock samples within the Copper Creek gully system.

The programme concluded with the first modern drill test, designated CC-25-001, drilled west to assess historic copper-gold mineralisation reported in 1970s drilling (ARIS 80026) and located within a broader copper and gold-in-soil anomaly measuring approximately 550 m by 1,000 m. The hole intersected heavily fractured and sheared andesite lithic tuffs and dark, cherty laminated sediments, showing brecciation and zones of intense chlorite-epidote alteration.

Star Copper CEO Darryl Jones said: “Collectively, the 2025 campaign mapping, soils sampling and first drill hole confirms continuity with historic copper mineralisation and meaningfully advances Copper Creek toward identifying the porphyry-style source driving the drainage-scale anomalies. The drilling data significantly increases the overall scope of our Star Project and offers intriguing early indications of a regional large-scale copper deposit. We are compiling results from the 2025 fieldwork and look forward to reporting the assay results from drill-hole CC-25-001 as well as the related sampling, which is sure to have an interesting and potentially very positive impact on our plans for 2026 with the aim to extend confirmatory drilling on the Copper Creek target.”

Observations from the drill core revealed chalcopyrite in discrete intervals, occurring as quartz-epidote vein material and as semi-massive pyrrhotite–pyrite–chalcopyrite within shear zones. These findings provide a foundation for Star Copper’s 2026 exploration plans, including access to the northern geophysical target to plan additional drilling and expand the project’s overall scope.

The results from the 2025 campaign reinforce Star Copper’s strategy of developing high-potential copper projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions. By integrating soil sampling, mapping, and modern drilling, the company aims to advance Copper Creek toward identifying a significant porphyry-style copper source and extending confirmatory drilling in 2026, potentially enhancing the Star Project’s regional scale and resource potential.

The campaign’s outcomes are expected to inform future exploration, optimize drill targeting, and support the long-term development of the Star Project as a major copper-gold asset in British Columbia.
