While assay results are still pending, hole S-076 successfully penetrated a significant fault zone and intersected strong visual copper mineralization at the targeted depth. Reasoning: The company successfully reached a targeted deep horizon with strong visual copper mineralization, though actual grades are not yet confirmed by assays. - Positive factor: successful penetration of fault zone - Positive factor: strong visual mineralization at depth - Positive factor: testing targeted hypogene horizon - Negative factor: assays pending - Negative factor: visual estimates only Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release mentions a Qualified Person \(Jeremy Hanson, P. Geo.\) has reviewed and approved the technical aspects. Evidence · text > Qualified Person Jeremy Hanson, P. Geo., a Qualified Person as that term is defined under NI 43-101, is an independent contractor of the Company and has reviewed and approved the technical aspects of this news release. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is described as resource-definition drilling to fill gaps within known mineralization. Evidence · text > Recent work has focused on a western extension of resource-definition drilling ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (4) ### S-037 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/star-copper-advances-western-extension-drilling-at-star-main--125a2fae-f390-4e04-8128-19308b1f0935#fact-drill-facts-0) The principal fault · copper Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: S-037 - Project: The principal fault - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_bc - Reported Region: canada\_bc - Ticker: STCU #### Geometry - Grade: 0.95 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 26 m - From: 388 m - To: 414 m - Intercept Depth: 388 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: S-037:388-414 #### QA/QC - QP Signed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Interp.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
