Paisley charity secures £300k to carry out lifeline work
The Star Project – which works to build resilience and supportive communities amidst the on-going cost-of-living crisis – has been awarded £327,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund The future of a lifeline Paisley charity has been secured thanks to a bumper £330k funding boost. The Star Project – which works to build resilience and supportive communities amidst the on-going cost-of-living crisis – has been awarded £327,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF). The money will be used to help cover the running costs of the Wallace Street charity over the next five years as it continues to support hundreds of local families. Sharon McAulay, chief executive of Star Project, said; 'We are absolutely delighted that TNLCF Scotland have chosen to continue supporting our work over the next five years. 'Their Fairer Life Chances award is towards our running costs, salaries and utilities, which have all increased due to the cost-of-living crisis. 'Core funding, such as this, is vital for us to continue being responsive to the needs of our community. We can't thank them enough for helping us to make a difference to the lives of thousands of people every year.' The award comes just months after Star Project celebrated its 25th birthday with a series of events including an amazing fundraiser in partnership with global superstar, and local legend, Paolo Nutini. It was initially set up in Shortroods in 1999 in a bid to address the impacts, and the associated stigma, of poverty and deprivation. It has grown exponentially and now delivers successful group, individual and community activities and supports that build resilience through themes of wellbeing, connections and creativity. In the past three years specifically Star has gone through a rapid period of growth, some planned, and some a legacy of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent cost-of-living crisis; both resulting in unprecedented demand on their services. During this time staff worked with a total of 26,398 individuals in more than 300 different ways. Kate Still, Scotland chair of The National Lottery Community Fund, said: 'At the National Lottery Community Fund we are so proud to be able to support groups like the Star Project to make a real and lasting difference and help address the challenges their communities face. 'It's all made possible by National Lottery players and we're excited to see the outcomes of this project in Paisley over the months ahead.' The funding award comes as Star Project continues to make progress with its capital project. This has seen the charity take on the lease for its neighbouring property in a move that will increase floor space by 100 per cent. A winter garden between the two properties will also create a community growing and uplifting outdoor space. The increased space is becoming more valuable to The Star Project as it seeks to be able assist every person who walks through its doors. Its community fridge, which offers emergency food supplies to people in financial crisis, is already located in the new building, while additional rooms will provide space for its plethora of workshops and community groups.

Star Copper Expands Existing Footprint of Star Project and Confirms Broad Mineralized System
VANCOUVER, BC / / July 22, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTCQX:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ("Star Copper" or the "Company"), a critical minerals exploration and development company announced today that concurrent to its summer drill program it has successfully completed an important field program at the Copper Creek target area located within the Company's wholly owned Star Project in northwestern British Columbia's golden triangle. In addition to the Star Main discovery, historical exploration now confirmed by the Company, has identified at least four additional "fingers" surrounding the Star Main discovery that may each hold significant and complementary discoveries of their own. If successful, the current campaign could prove the entire Star Project as an expansive, mineralized system and deposit. Located approximately two kilometers (2km) to the southeast of the current drilling campaign, Copper Creek's geological setting, structural complexity, and documented copper grades suggest it may represent a southeastern extension of a broad mineralized system that extends from the Main Zone. Copper Creek holds potential to evolve into a satellite or connecting zone within a larger, continuous copper-bearing trend across the property. The fully funded campaign currently underway is focused on expanding the existing deposit at the Star Project by exploring the historically identified and known mineralization events at Star Main, Copper Creek, Star North, Star East and additional related target locations (See Figure 1). Figure 1- Star Project target areas. Star Copper 2025 Highlights The Copper Creek target was the initial (1937) discovery on the property. Centered on an impressive gossan in the walls of Copper Creek characterized by extensive malachite and azurite staining. Copper and gold soil anomalies cover the target location over a 1000m x 550m area. Geophysical anomalies have been discovered and are still open to the north, south and east. Six historical drill holes, with incomplete drill logs, include significant copper and minor precious metal values. An example intercept from the early drilling at Copper Creek includes 43.58m @ 0.49% Cu from 8.53 to 52.12m in DDH G-2-70. (341104 mE, 6456326mN UTM 9N, 000/-80 - Property File 800226) Recent field work has validated historical exploration records and establishes a reliable geospatial foundation for future exploration. Copper Creek is a historically explored copper prospect first identified in the 1930s, with significant exploration conducted in the 1970s by Skyline Explorations and United Cambridge Mines. Historical drilling intersected compelling copper and gold mineralization, including 35.5 metres grading 0.485% copper in hole G-2 and localized gold values of up to 4.5 g/t over 1.37 metres (G-2-70, 8.54 - 9.91m). Mineralization is characterized by disseminated and fracture-controlled chalcopyrite and pyrite hosted in brecciated volcanic rocks and skarn zones, spatially associated with intense chlorite-epidote alteration. Star Copper recently executed a field program at Copper Creek which was led by two geologists and one field assistant. The objectives of the program were to verify the locations of historical drill collars (holes G-1 through G-6), conduct detailed geological mapping, and collect representative rock samples. The team successfully located all historical collar sites, confirmed by the presence of vintage drill equipment, and collected 13 rock samples from mineralized outcrops and altered zones (See Figure 2). These findings validate historical exploration records and establish a reliable geospatial foundation for future exploration. Figure 2 - Copper Creek rock sample. Star Copper 2025 "We are very encouraged by the results of this recent field work, which confirm historical copper mineralization and provides important geological context for ongoing targeting," said Darryl Jones, CEO of Star Copper. "With Copper Creek located just two kilometres southeast of our current drilling operations at the Main Zone, we see strong potential for this target to evolve into a complementary satellite zone or becoming part of a larger, continuous mineralized system." Copper Creek's favorable geological setting, structural complexity, and proximity to current exploration activities make it a high-priority target for future work. The Company believes that Copper Creek may represent the southeastern extent of a broader mineralized trend that extends northwest toward and the Main Zone, offering significant upside for resource expansion (See Figure 3).

Star Project in Paisley call on MPs to stop "horrendous" cuts to welfare state
A team from the charity marched on Westminster in a bid to make their voices heard. Anti-poverty campaigners from Renfrewshire are pleading with MPs to end crippling financial despair in local communities after they marched on Westminster. Heather Kay, from the Star Project, and resilience development worker Sarah Findlay pleaded with their local representatives to come and hear firsthand from people who are living far below the breadline. The charity workers were part of an army of campaigners who descended on the House of Commons to demand an Essentials Guarantee – to increase universal credit so that it covers the cost of daily living. But the inability to make welfare payments stretch far enough is something the Star Project has been shouting about for years. The organisation – which tackles the causes and symptoms of poverty from its base in Paisley – is now demanding an audience with MPs who are being asked to vote on welfare cuts in parliament. Heather said: 'We were in Westminster because we were speaking to MPs about how people's essentials need to be guaranteed. We have heard so many stories so far that are terrifying, of people going without and it can't be allowed to continue. 'We know in 2022 in our own community how someone died of starvation, that will not happen again. 'There are all sorts of horrendous budget cuts that have been suggested, but we are here to talk about the very basics that people need, that should be higher, the income should be much better [not reduced].' The Westminster lobby day was organised by Trussell Trust and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation in partnership with IFAN, the Independent Food Aid Network. Collectively, they asked the UK Government to increase the basic rate of universal credit in April 2026 and not April 2029 as proposed, arguing people 'simply can't wait that long'. They also demanded that an independent organisation be appointed to truly establish a reasonable income for those in receipt of benefits to ensure it really is enough to cover daily essentials. Heather has invited MPs Alison Taylor and Johanna Baxter to the Star hub on Wallace Street so they can hear first hand from the people who are receiving universal credit. She added: 'There are basic human rights like having a safe roof over your head and enough food to eat but the reality is for some of our members, they don't have that, they don't have the basics. 'We have food attached to all our workshops because we know people are skipping meals, they don't have enough food to eat. The reality is you can't teach people to budget what they don't have, the income just isn't enough. By the time these people come to Star they are in a blind panic, they don't know where else to go.' Ms Baxter, MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South, was unable to attend the Lobby event in Westminster but has already committed to visiting the Star Project in the near future. Ms Baxter told the Paisley Daily Express: 'I look forward to seeing the work of the Star Project firsthand and speaking directly with those they support about the issues that matter to them. 'I am acutely aware that the cost of living is the biggest challenge for families across Paisley and Renfrewshire, which is why I am pleased that this Labour government is stepping up to support those most in need. 'In the last number of weeks, the government has given those on the lowest wages a pay rise with the increase to the minimum wage, introduced a £150 Warm Homes Discount rebate on energy bills for more than 240,000 homes across Scotland and provided an extra £9.1 billion to boost Scottish public services.'

Lifeline Paisley charity marks National Volunteers' Week
Paisley Buddies who dedicate hours of their time to the Star Project took part in the Rhythm to a T session to celebrate National Volunteers' Week. A message of solidarity sounded loud and clear last week as anti-poverty volunteers took part in a drumming session. Paisley Buddies who dedicate hours of their time to the Star Project took part in the Rhythm to a T session to celebrate National Volunteers' Week. An incredible 60 volunteers pledged 6,420 hours, or 917 working days, of their time to the Paisley charity in 2024, bolstering the charity's ability to build a resilient community in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis. Star hosted an afternoon of celebration and gratitude last Thursday to recognise the phenomenal contribution people make to their lifeline projects. Volunteers had the opportunity to spend time together and share in the incredible session offered by Rhythm to a T, a Paisley-based drumming facilitator that runs drumming groups specifically to help with mental health and wellbeing. Anna Gibb, senior development worker at the Star Project, said: 'We are incredibly grateful to all our wonderful volunteers. 'The time and dedication they give to Star Project cannot be underestimated and we wouldn't be able to run all our different services without them. 'The skills and experience each volunteer brings to their role makes Star Project a richer, more inclusive place, and we cannot thank them enough for their hard work.' As part of their celebration event, volunteers were gifted vouchers for free haircuts at Haus of Seisay Hairdressing Academy. A fellow charity, Haus of Seisay strives to provide career opportunities in hairdressing for care experienced young people. Star Project has been at the forefront of tackling the impact of poverty, deprivation and associated stigma since its creation in Paisley in 1999. It, with the support of its volunteers, delivers successful group, individual and community activities and supports that build resilience through themes of wellbeing, connections and creativity. Volunteers work across the daily drop-in, Paisley Men's Shed, Community Fridge, Pantry Plus and the Board of Trustees. When asked why they chose to volunteer with Star Project, one volunteer said: 'Star is my second family, I don't know where I'd be without them, to me, Star is a place of safety, friendliness and inclusion.' Another volunteer added: 'I love volunteering at Star because it is such a welcoming atmosphere and it helps me feel good about myself'.

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 Historic Collar Table UTM 9N HOLE ID Easting Northing Elevation Depth Azimuth Dip S023 339876 6458313 1140 293 45 -80 S025 339933 6458268 1127 410 270 -85 S027 339749 6458236 1104 598 0 -90 S029 339814 6458170 1072 470 30 -75 S040 339696 6458304 1108 472 0 -90 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 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.
