Star Copper (CSE:STCU) has confirmed copper mineralisation to the southwest of the Star Main target within its wholly owned Star Project in northwestern British Columbia as part of its 2025 summer drilling campaign.
To test the southwest flank of drilling and historical sampling programs, Hole D was drilled to a depth of 184m with quartz monzodiorite and local monzonite intersections with several narrow fault zones.
This included the main Star Fault zone between 93.25m and 104m, with an oxide-to-transitional zone hosting malachite and azurite coatings uncovered around 26m near the surface.
CEO Darryl Jones said drillhole D confirmed Star Fault-hosted mineralisation growth in multiple directions.
“This step-out confirms our geologic model and opens up further potential for expansion to the southwest, an area with strong copper-gold surface anomalies and favourable host rocks,” Jones says.
Copper mineralisation below the oxide cap had notable mineralised intervals including between 8-82.4m, 6-121.25m, and 5-155m.
This drilling campaign was designed to test the continuity of mineralisation previously identified, both laterally and vertically.
Star Copper is an explorer and developer focused on advancing its “high-potential” copper projects in mining-friendly jurisdictions.
