Star Copper Corp. (CSE: STCU) (OTCQX: STCUF) (FWB: SOP) (“Star Copper” or the “Company”), a critical minerals exploration and development company is pleased to announce that first pass drilling has commenced at the Copper Creek satellite target, located ~2.2 km southeast of Star Main within the Company’s flagship Star Project in northwestern British Columbia. This campaign follows several weeks of target refinement, drill pad construction, and mobilization, advancing Copper Creek from a drill-ready concept to active testing.
“Having the drill start turning at Copper Creek marks an exciting milestone as we broaden our exploration footprint beyond our Star Main project area,” stated Darryl Jones, CEO of Star Copper Corp. “The integration of modern geophysics, soil analysis, and detailed mapping delivered clear targets for exploration. With the drill pads completed and the first of two planned ~400m holes underway, we are eager to test this structurally focused copper-gold system and report results as they become available
Copper Creek Target Overview
Copper Creek comprises two copper-in-soil and gold-in-soil trends that coincide with IP chargeability and magnetic highs. Field crews have mapped widespread copper at surface, notably chalcopyrite with malachite and azurite, across both the upper and lower gullies. In the upper gully, mapping and sampling were complemented by soil infill grids over the strongest chargeability response. In the lower gully, which hosts the bulk of historical work, detailed mapping, sampling, and structural analysis confirm a complex, broadly east–west structural corridor that focuses mineralization. These observations align with the project’s geologic framework and prior public description of the target area (see Figure 1).
