Star Copper (CSE:STCU) has begun first-pass drilling at the Copper Creek target within the company’s flagship Star Project in northwestern British Columbia, ahead of step-out drilling.
The company intends to validate the structural-geochemical model at Copper Creek, while also providing vectors for follow up step-outs.
CEO Darryl Jones says this milestone is an expansion to the company’s footprint, extending beyond the Star Main area within the project.
“The integration of modern geophysics, soil analysis, and detailed mapping delivered clear targets for exploration,” Jones says.
“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.”
As reported by Mining.com.au, the program is designed to confirm mineralised intervals uncovered in historical exploration efforts and also test copper-gold soil and rock anomalies at the lower gully’s east-west corridor that coincide with induced polarisation chargeability.
Star Copper is a mineral explorer focused on advancing its portfolio of assets in Canada.
