Star Copper Expedites Sample Shipments from Drill Campaign
Company remediates airstrip to maximize capacity
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2025 / Star Copper Corp. (CSE:STCU)(OTC PINK:STCUF)(FWB:SOP) ('Star Copper' or the 'Company'), a critical mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to report on its drill campaign and related activities at its 100% owned 6,829-hectare (~16,875 acre) flagship Star Project in the 'Golden Triangle' of British Columbia.
Drillhole B (S-051) is targeting supergene copper and gold mineralization of the Star Fault and aims to build off historical drilling to further test the western extent of mineralization beneath the Star Fault at depth.
Drilling progressed beyond 375m of depth, at which time the Company elected to swap drill rod diameters from HQ (2 ½" diameter) to NQ (1 ⅞" diameter) to improve drilling efficiency and allow for deeper drilling. NQ rods are smaller and lighter than HQ rods, enabling for increased drill depth capacity without exceeding the rig's weight limitations. Additionally, the smaller diameter can increase drilling speed and potentially minimize torque.
Drilling has also intersected potassic mineralization over long intervals. Sample assay result will consequently be of great interest and the company is excited by the potential impact these showings represent.
Company CEO, Darryl Jones reports, 'We are extremely happy with the progress and resulting core mineralization. We anticipate completing this hole at the target depth of approximately 600 meters where a previous drill hole known as 'S-040" was terminated with 120m @ 0.36% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au1 . To date, core samples visually demonstrate that the supergene zone remains intact at depth (see Figures 1 & 2). We are extremely pleased that the core samples are both extensive and high quality. The samples are being expeditiously shipped for prompt analysis. We look forward to announcing assay results as soon as they become available.'
Star Copper aims to shortly move forward with Drillhole C (S-052) and plans to step out approximately 50 metres north of hole B (S-051) to test the extent of the supergene copper enrichment zone and evaluate the continuity of the mineralized domain to approximately 275 metres in depth. Of particular interest is the plan to intersect the 142 metres grading 0.43% Cu in hole S-037 1 . Deeper intercepts aim to test for structurally controlled gold enrichment, where prior results returned 12 metres at 2.33 g/t Au at approximately 650 metres at the bottom of hole S-037 1 .

Campaign Strategy
The fully funded 2025 campaign is focused on expanding the existing discovery at the multiple targets within the Star Project. The Company has targeted the Star Main, Star North, and Star East prospects. Drilling is targeting (i) the near-surface oxide zones, (ii) deep porphyry-style mineralization, and (iii) structures associated with the 'Star Fault' and 'Dick Creek Fault' with up to 4,000 meters amongst six primary drill holes (Holes A-F). The Star Main discovery contains an extensive, near-surface, supergene zone, and the current campaign (see May 27, 2025 news release ) was designed to test both the lateral and vertical continuity of mineralized zones previously identified from over $10 million in prior drilling and exploration programs.
Airfield & Camp Remediation
As the pace of air support activity has increased to meet the demand for fuel and equipment deliveries along with the anticipated increase in outbound sample shipments, the field crew undertook a proactive 'good stewardship of the forests' approach regarding clean-up and removal of legacy infrastructure and waste from the regional airstrip and Star Camp.
The Company mobilized a remediation team including a disposal dumpster provided by the Iskut Band Council transported to the Golden Bear Road access. Removal of legacy equipment and material included various redundant vehicles, as well as empty fuel barrels (transported to Whitehorse for proper disposal), old hoses, broken appliances, and batteries, all from historic projects and previous operators. The work was undertaken to expedite airfield operations, address legacy environmental liabilities and reduce on-site hazards and waste accumulation in compliance with reclamation objectives. (See Fig. 3).

CHARLEBOIS: Why matcha may be the next pumpkin spice
If you're a matcha drinker, brace yourself — prices are likely heading up, and TikTok may be to blame. What began as a traditional Japanese tea used in ceremonial settings has rapidly become a global wellness staple. Canada is no exception. Fuelled by social media and a surge in health-conscious consumer habits, matcha has gone mainstream. The Canadian market alone was valued at about $300 million in 2024, projected to reach $375 million by 2025 and nearly double to $700 million by 2035, according to Market Research Future. That represents a compound annual growth rate of approximately 7% over the next decade. Today, matcha is found not only in lattes but in smoothies, baked goods, energy bars, and even cosmetics. Its rise reflects a broader trend in Canadian food culture: The growing appeal of global ingredients that promise both functionality and indulgence. But matcha comes with a key economic constraint — supply. The production process is uniquely labour-intensive and deeply artisanal. Shade-grown, hand-picked, steamed, and stone-ground, authentic matcha — particularly from Japan's Uji region or parts of China — is difficult to industrialize. Canada, due to climate, cannot grow matcha domestically, meaning demand must be met through imports. The market's tightness leaves it exposed to price volatility as interest surges. Already, we're seeing the effects. Ceremonial-grade matcha that sells for roughly $28 per 100 grams in Japan can retail for as much as $120 in Canada — a markup exceeding 300%. Even culinary-grade matcha, which typically costs $5 to $14 in Japan, often doubles in price on Canadian shelves. As demand continues to grow, especially for premium varieties, prices could climb by another 30-40% in the coming years. There's also concern over authenticity. As matcha's profile rises, so too does the presence of lower-quality substitutes — powders that resemble matcha in colour but lack its nutritional properties and distinctive taste profile. Consumers may not always know the difference until they've overpaid. Cafes and restaurants are already reporting supply challenges, and many are struggling to keep pace with customer expectations. This isn't a passing inconvenience — it's an early sign of a demand-driven imbalance that may persist. Unlike fleeting trends like celery juice or butter boards, matcha's growth is supported by habit formation. Its caffeine content, antioxidant profile, and calming effects appeal especially to Millennials and Gen Z consumers looking for a healthier, more stable alternative to coffee. The fact that the industry — not just consumers — is embracing matcha also signals staying power. In many ways, matcha is positioned similarly to pumpkin spice two decades ago — only this time, with the added push of social media. For traditional coffee drinkers, there may be a silver lining. As matcha draws more market share, coffee demand may stabilize. That's welcome news after a year in which retail coffee prices rose 25%, according to Statistics Canada. In short, matcha is no longer niche. It's a case study in how consumer health trends, social media, and global trade dynamics can converge to reshape what — and how — we drink. If you're a coffee drinker, you might want to start promoting matcha yourself. Your wallet could thank you.

G7 agrees to avoid higher taxes for US and UK companies
By Harshita Meenaktshi, Bipasha Dey and Promit Mukherjee (Reuters) -The United States and the Group of Seven nations have agreed to support a proposal that would exempt U.S. companies from some components of an existing global agreement, the G7 said in a statement on Saturday. The group has created a "side-by-side" system in response to the U.S. administration agreeing to scrap the Section 899 retaliatory tax proposal from President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill, it said in a statement from Canada, the head of the rolling G7 presidency. The G7 said the plan recognizes existing U.S. minimum tax laws and aims to bring more stability to the international tax system. The U.S Treasury Department said that following the removal of Section 899 from the U.S. Senate version of the tax and spending bill, there is a shared understanding that a side-by-side system could preserve important gains made by jurisdictions inside the Inclusive Framework in tackling base erosion and profit shifting. "We look forward to discussing and developing this understanding within the Inclusive Framework," the Department said in a post on X on Saturday. UK businesses are also spared higher taxes after the removal of Section 899 from President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill. Britain said businesses would benefit from greater certainty and stability following the agreement. Some British businesses had in recent weeks said they were worried about paying substantial additional tax due to the inclusion of Section 899, which has now been removed. "Today's agreement provides much-needed certainty and stability for those businesses after they had raised their concerns," finance minister Rachel Reeves said in a statement, adding that more work was needed to tackle aggressive tax planning and avoidance. G7 officials said that they look forward to discussing a solution that is "acceptable and implementable to all". In January, through an executive order, Trump declared that the global corporate minimum tax deal was not applicable in the U.S., effectively pulling out of the landmark 2021 arrangement negotiated by the Biden administration with nearly 140 countries. He also vowed to impose a retaliatory tax against countries that impose taxes on U.S. firms under the 2021 global tax agreement. This tax was considered detrimental to many foreign companies operating in the U.S.
