~Company sees ~$4,500,000 in warrants exercised to grow cash balance beyond $15 million
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2026 / 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 the commencement of its 2026 exploration and drill campaign at its flagship Star Project in British Columbia.
Operational Update
The company is mobilizing on its previously announced fully funded 15,000m drill program at the project. With over $15MM cash-in-hand, the program will double the historic number of meters drilled with the goal of producing a maiden resource (see news dated April 14, 2026) as well as testing the Company's nested porphyry hypothesis. Klaus Heppe, Technical advisor (see news dated May 20, 2026) is working hand-in-hand with Senior Project Geologist Jeremy Hanson at Hardline Exploration Corp. to unearth the increasingly evident potential of the Star Main and satellite targets.
The early season program has been designed to test a series of compelling geophysical, geochemical, and structural targets generated through the integration of induced polarization ("IP") chargeability and conductivity anomalies, airborne magnetic data, soil and rock geochemistry, historic trenching, and detailed geological and structural mapping.
