Star Metro - Star Copper Confirms Southwest Expansion of Mineralization at Star Main Target

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTCQX:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a critical minerals exploration and development company, is pleased to provide an update on the 2025 Summer drill campaign at its 100%-owned Star Copper-Gold Project, located in northwestern British Columbia. The latest report offers preliminary results from diamond drill Hole D (S-053B) at its 100%-owned Star Copper-Gold Project, located in northwestern British Columbia.

Drilled 65 metres southwest of Hole B (S-051) near a significant copper-gold soil and trench anomaly, Hole D was designed to test the southwest flank of current drilling and historic sampling, targeting extensions of mineralization across the Star Fault zone.

Hole D reached a total depth of 184 metres and intersected predominantly quartz monzodiorite with local monzonite, crosscut by several narrow fault zones, including the main Star Fault between 93.25 and 104 metres. From near surface (~26 m), the hole encountered an oxide-to-transitional zone with malachite and azurite coatings, consistent with the supergene cap developed above major structures at Star.

UTM 9N NAD83

Below the oxide cap, copper mineralization is hosted as disseminated chalcopyrite and in quartz-sulphide veinlets, locally intensifying within zones of veining, brecciation, and potassic alteration. Notable mineralized intervals include:

• 77.8-82.4m

• 116.6-121.25m

• 151.5-155m

• 164-171m

• 171.2-178.75m

These results confirm copper mineralization on the southwest side of Star Main and refine the structural and intrusive controls across the Star Fault zone, supporting continuity of mineralization and expanding the footprint of the system in this direction.

"Hole D demonstrates that the Star system continues to grow in multiple directions," stated Darryl Jones, CEO of Star Copper. "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."

The 2025 summer drill campaign has been designed to test both the lateral and vertical continuity of mineralized zones previously identified from over $10 million in prior drilling and exploration campaigns. Drilling encompasses targets identified as near-surface oxide zones, deep porphyry-style mineralization, and structures associated with the "Star Fault" and "Dick Creek Fault." The Company is investigating beyond previously drilled depths and is nearing the midway point of up to 4,000 meters of drilling across six primary drill holes (Holes A-F) with holes A, B, C and D now complete.

The Company continues to compile results from the ongoing program and will provide additional updates as assays are received and interpreted.
