Star Copper Mobilizes 2025 Summer Exploration Targeting Expansion of Existing Discovery
Company set to build asset value in prolific "Golden Triangle"
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.

Canadians Impacted by Wildfires Can Get a Free Month of Starlink: Here's Who's Eligible
Active wildfires continue to burn across Canada, and SpaceX's Starlink is offering to help people in affected areas stay connected. The company is running a deal for a month of free satellite internet. This doesn't just include people with an active account. It includes new customers and those who have paused or previously canceled their service. According to the company's support documentation, existing customers don't have to do anything. A one-month service credit has been proactively applied to their account. Those who used to be customers can reactivate their accounts to use the service credit, which has also been applied to their accounts. All you need is a way to power the dish and modem to stay connected. Starlink internet doesn't rely on cell towers or fiber-optic cables, which could be damaged in fires. Instead, it uses satellites in low-Earth orbit to deliver internet to the dish on your house. This uniquely positions the company to offer essential connectivity in emergencies. A representative for Starlink did not immediately respond to a request for comment. New customers can also take advantage People who don't currently have Starlink but live in an affected area can also take advantage of the free month offer. However, you must own a Starlink dish, which usually costs $499 for the standard model. An ongoing promotion can get you the hardware for free; but you have to commit to a year of residential Starlink service. Locating local internet providers According to Starlink, once you get your dish, you should contact company support for free service through July 5. If your hardware was affected by the wildfires, you should also contact support for a free replacement. Hurricanes and wildfires Offering free internet to those who could otherwise be cut off can make a real difference. This isn't the first time Starlink has run promotions like this when residents face disasters, according to Joe Supan, CNET senior broadband reporter. "Starlink has a strong track record at this point of stepping in to provide internet service in the wake of natural disasters," said Supan."I heard from several folks on the ground in North Carolina what a lifesaver it was after Hurricane Helene last year." A free service deal was also offered to Los Angeles residents during the January wildfires. Starlink also recently announced a Residential Lite plan, which is $40 cheaper than the $120 Residential plan. While it's half the speed of the Residential plan and would be first deprioritized during peak hours, it's still a more affordable option. This plan is available in 30 US states.

1.7 million air conditioners recalled just as summer heat hits
Before you install that window AC unit to beat the summer heat, it's worth taking a closer look: Yesterday, the appliance manufacturer Midea, who makes units for a number of brands including Frigidaire and Insignia, recalled more than 1.7 million AC units due to the risk of mold exposure. The news comes as, according to industry experts, AC units are expected to get significantly more expensive this summer due to tariff-based supply chain issues. Here's what you need to know about the recall: What is the reason for the recall? On June 5, Midea issued a voluntary recall for about 1.7 million window AC units sold in the U.S. and another 45,900 sold in Canada, according to a notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). According to the notice, the reason for the recall stems from potential mold growth inside the affected units: 'Pooled water in the air conditioners can fail to drain quickly enough, which can lead to mold growth,' it reads. 'Mold exposure poses risks of respiratory issues or other infections to some consumers.' Further, the report notes that Midea is aware of at least 152 reports of mold in the air conditioners so far. Which products are being recalled? The recall involves U and U+ window AC unit models made by Midea. These models were sold under a variety of brand names, including Midea, Comfort Aire, Danby, Frigidaire, Insignia, Keystone, LBG Products, Mr. Cool, Perfect Aire, and Sea Breeze. Affected units were sold in three sizes of cooling power: 8,000, 10,000 and 12,000 BTU. Customers can find a full list of impacted model numbers, organized by brand name, on the CPSC webpage. Where were the recalled units sold? The recalled units were sold at a number of big box stores, as well as a wide variety of online retailers. The physical retailers include: Costco Menards Home Depot Best Buy The affected units were also available online at retailers including: Each unit sold within the span of March 2020 to May 2025 for between $280 and $500. Have the recalled units hurt anyone? Unfortunately, yes. Midea has received 17 reports so far of consumers 'experiencing symptoms such as respiratory infections, allergic reactions, coughing, sneezing and/or sore throats from mold exposure,' per the CPSC. What should I do if I have a recalled unit? If you have a recalled unit, do not use it. Instead, you can contact Midea for a free repair or a full or prorated refund. The company told The New York Times that all Midea U buyers will be eligible for a refund (although the amount will depend on how long you've had your air conditioner) or it will mail a free DIY kit to anyone who would prefer to fix their unit. For those who have attempted to repair the unit at home, Midea will still offer refunds or fixes.
