Logging porphyry-style copper mineralization beyond historic footprint. Step-outs anchored by historic hole S-025 (269 metres grading 0.42% copper and 0.198 g/t gold); assays pending on all seven holes.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 25, 2026 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTCQX:STCUF)(FWB:SOP, WKN A416ME) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a critical minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to provide an update on its fully funded 15,000 metre 2026 drilling program at its flagship Star Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, Canada.
Following completion of the first four holes of the season at Star East, Star North and Copper Creek (see news release of July 21, 2026), drilling has focused on the Star Main copper-gold porphyry target, where the latest diamond drilling has been completed to test and expand the near-surface hypogene mineralized system to the northeast of the historically defined footprint. Geological logging across the program has identified porphyry-style alteration and chalcopyrite mineralization, and assays for all seven holes are pending.
Highlights
Seven diamond drill holes (S-063, S-064, S-065, S-066/66A, S-067 and S-069) totaling 2,489 metres have been completed at the northeast extension of Star main, with assays pending for all holes.
