THE STAR\n2. STAR NORTH\n3. STAR EAST\n4. COPPER CREEK\n5. PYRRHOTITE CREEK\n\n- Star porphyry proven by drilling to extend to 600m+ below surface.\n- 550 m by 950m copper and gold in soil anomaly.\n- Coincident IP Chargeability and magnetic anomaly.\n- Consistent copper to gold ratios.\n\n### GEOLOGY\n\n**The Star project** is an example of an alkalic porphyry copper-gold system.\n\nThe regional geological setting comprises island arc volcanic, marine sedimentary, and plutonic rocks of the Middle to Late Triassic Stuhini Group that forms a dominant portion of the accreted geological terrane of Stikinia in the northern Intermontane Belt of the Canadian Cordillera.\n\nIn this region, several large Late Triassic calc-alkalic to subalkalic plutons (Stikine suite), including the Kaketsa pluton and Star stock, intrude the Stuhini Group.\n\nThe Star property displays typical porphyry style mineralization in supergene and hypogene settings.\n\n- The supergene zone locally extends to between 80-100 m depth and is characterized by disseminated azurite and malachite with fractures coated in tenorite.\n- Hypogene mineralization at the Star target is defined by vein-hosted and disseminated sulfides (i.e., chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite, and molybdenite).\n- Chalcopyrite is volumetrically the most abundant copper sulfide found on the property.\n\n### MINERALIZATION\n\nThere are three main areas of copper-gold mineralization; the Star (including the Star East and Star North, Copper Creek, and Pyrrhotite Creek zones.\n\nMineralization is related to zones of intense fracturing near the contact of the Kaketsa and/or related intrusive rocks with the surrounding Stuhini Group volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, and has many of the characteristics of alkalic porphyry copper-gold mineralization.\n\n### PHASE 1 DRILLING - COMPLETE\n\n**Phase 1 Drill Program Overview 2700m**\n\n- Phase 1 comprised six drill holes (S-050 through S-055/S-053B) focused on testing the Star Main copper-gold system, particularly the near-surface supergene (oxidized) zone and defining structural controls on mineralisation.\n- The program was designed to:\n  - Confirm and expand the known supergene copper footprint,\n  - Refine geological and structural models (potassic alteration, star fault corridors), and\n  - Provide vectors for follow-up Phase 2 drilling.\n\nStrong Copper-Gold Intercepts\n\n- Early released assays from three Phase 1 holes showed significant mineralisation, including:\n  - Hole S-051: 226 m @ 0.67% CuEq from 14 m, incl. 40 m @ 1.56% CuEq in the supergene zone.\n  - Hole S-050: 93 m @ 0.91% CuEq from 8 m near surface.\n  - Hole S-052: 397 m @ 0.37% CuEq from 29 m, including deeper higher-grade intervals, demonstrating both oxide and hypogene mineralisation.\n\n### PHASE 2 DRILLING - COMPLETE\n\n**Phase 2 Program – Complete and Awaiting Assays**\n\n**A Multi-Year Area Based (MYAB) Notice of Work Permit is in Hand**\n\n- Surface drilling from 200 ground and helicopter supported locations.\n- Camps: Up to 35 people at Star.\n- Mechanical trenching at 50 sites.\n- 50 LINE km IP survey.\n- 5 km of new exploration trail construction.\n\n**The Star Project will benefit from significant database compilation and organization to streamline historic results and interpretations.**\n\n- The geologic model for the Star would benefit from a complete classification and delineation of porphyry dikes and veins.\n- Classifying dikes and veins from the historic data is crucial and delineation in the subsurface may explain mineralization continuity.\n- A structural interpretation at the Star will better define a deformational history in the region and potentially attribute mineralization, lithologies and topography to structural features.\n- Further IP data acquisition on the project may benefit from a deep IP survey on the main Star target as well as shallow surveys on pyrrhotite creek and copper creek."]
