Star Copper Mobilizes 2025 Summer Exploration Targeting Expansion of Existing Discovery
VANCOUVER, BC / / May 27, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTC PINK:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a Canadian resource exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that equipment and crew have been mobilized to shortly commence drilling and other exploration activities in the field. Today's news officially kicks off Star Copper's 2025 drill plans at its flagship asset, the Star Project, located in the heart of the prolific industry recognized "Golden Triangle" of northwestern British Columbia.
The Star Project spans 6,829 hectares and is 100% owned by Star Copper. The property, and this current exploration program, are fully permitted under a Multi-Year Area-Based (MYAB) Notice of Work, enabling current and future exploration. Situated in a tier-one jurisdiction, the project boasts over $10 million in historical exploration efforts, including geophysical and geochemical surveys, trenching, soil sampling, and more than 13,000 meters of drilling from 49 diamond drill holes, which have confirmed the presence of a calc-alkalic porphyry copper-gold system.
The campaign builds upon a significant historical exploration database and incorporates newly reinterpreted magnetic data to guide the next phase of high-impact drilling. Additionally, the Company will be looking to test the contiguous Star North and Star East claims through targeted sampling and trenching to confirm the geotechnical work which indicates similar characteristics to the Star Main deposit.
Darryl Jones, Star Copper's CEO, comments, "Embarking on our maiden program at Star is an exciting time for our shareholders, as this property has remained amazingly untouched in more than a decade. Our team's efforts to-date lead us to believe that the Star Project holds significant potential based on the inherent mineralization characteristics and geological trend data evident throughout the property. We are very eager to advance the Star North and East projects to further deliver potentially new discoveries aimed at unlocking the true value of the Star Project for our company, stakeholders, and shareholders alike."
2025 Exploration OverviewThe fully funded $2.5 million campaign is scheduled to run until August 15, 2025, and incorporates a strategic plan already underway with the field crew currently moving to build a base camp supported by full onsite logistical capabilities. Once established, the team will situate new drill pads to undertake a 3,500-metre diamond drill core sampling program based on six drill holes with an additional 650 metres of contingency drilling allocated.
Key program objectives include:
Expanding the known mineralized envelope of the Star Main zone
Testing deeper porphyry potential and structural offsets
Following up on mineralization associated with the recently modeled Star Fault
Drill Targeting BasisThe program will utilize integrated 3D inversion modeling of 2013 airborne magnetic data, which was completed by Ronacher MacKenzie Geoscience. The new geophysical interpretation, along with trench mapping and core analysis, has confirmed a complex left-lateral strike-slip system and defined key structural features identified as:
The Star Fault: A mineralized thrust-related structure that segments higher-grade mineralization in the northeast and offsets deeper mineralization to the southwest.
The Dick Creek Fault and Hackett Valley Fault: Large-scale regional fault corridors that outline the structural controls of mineral emplacement.
The refined modeling is being used to position drill holes to test both near-surface and deep mineralization, including areas previously untested by drilling.
Selected Drill Targets for 2025The planned holes include follow-ups on the following successful historical intercepts:
Hole S025: 200m @ 0.49% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au
Hole S027: 263m @ 0.39% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au
Hole S029: 81m @ 0.35% Cu, 0.18 g/t Au
Hole S040: 120m @ 0.36% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au
Hole S023: 100m @ 0.47% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au

Please refer to the Company's February 26, 2025 technical report on the Star Project for more information in respect of the project, including historical drilling, available under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
Once constructed, the new drill pads will also test untested magnetic anomalies, soil geochemical highs, and deep extensions of chargeability zones with the goal of expanding the known deposit at Star, both laterally as well to depth. Drill holes have not exceeded 660m in previous programs but the mineralization down hole shows the potential for much deeper targeting. The extensive supergene zone discovered at surface is exceptionally rare and the Company is excited to enhance the historic drilling with its own program this summer.

Unpaid work for flight attendants could be on the way out as union declares win
TORONTO — Unpaid ground time for flight attendants could be on the way out as Air Canada looks to be joining a growing number of airlines that have agreed to move away from the widespread practice. In announcing a tentative deal with the airline, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said "unpaid work is over" after making it a central issue in its push for a new contract. The deal comes more than two years after the union that represents flight attendants launched a campaign against the industry norm, where flight attendants aren't paid their hourly wage during boarding, pre-flight safety checks and other delays. York University labour professor Steven Tufts says the practice started before flight attendants had much power and it provided airlines with consistency in costs, even as unions have pushed wages up to help compensate for the unpaid time. He says widespread delays and extra stresses since the COVID-19 pandemic pushed flight attendants to make a more concerted effort to end the practice. Air Canada's agreement to move away from the practice follows on American Airlines flight attendants securing pay for boarding time in a contract last year, while Delta Air Lines started providing some degree of ground pay in 2022. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 19, 2025.

Terawulf (WULF) Cracks Past New All-Time High on Expanded Fluidstack Deal, Higher Google Financial Backing
We recently published . Terawulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF) is one of Monday's top performers. Terawulf extended its winning streak to a fourth straight day on Monday to break past a new all-time high as investors cheered an expanded partnership with Google and Fluidstack that could potentially generate the company $16 billion in revenues. At intra-day trading, Terawulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF) soared to as high as $10.71, marking a 19.4-percent increase from its previous close, before paring gains to end the day just up by 4.57 percent at $9.38 apiece. This followed updated announcements that Fluidstack was expanding its data center at the Lake Mariner campus in Western New York, which was expected to require another 160 MW of critical IT load supply from Terawulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF), on top of the 200 MW initially signed. Assuming Fluidstack exercises two lease extensions, the contract would help generate $16 billion in total revenues for Terawulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF). In connection with the increased capacity, technology giant Google also announced intentions to invest $3.2 billion in Terawulf Inc. (NASDAQ:WULF) to support the project, in exchange for warrants to acquire 32.5 million WULF common shares, or a 14-percent pro-forma equity. 'This expansion underscores the unmatched scale and capabilities of the Lake Mariner campus,' said Terawulf CEO Paul Prager. Image by Лечение Наркомании from Pixabay 'We are not only increasing our contracted capacity with Fluidstack, but also further deepening our strategic alignment with Google as a critical financial partner in delivering the next generation of AI infrastructure,' he added. While we acknowledge the potential of WULF as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
