SUPER COPPER COMPLETES PHASE 1 EXPLORATION PROGRAM AT ITS FLAGSHIP CORDILLERA COBRE PROJECT IN ATACAMA, CHILE
Super Copper Corp. has successfully completed its phase 1 exploration program at its flagship Cordillera Cobre project, located in Chile's Atacama copper belt, approximately 40 kilometres north of the mining hub of Copiapo.
The 2025 field program was designed to build upon historical work and accelerate Super Copper's understanding of the project's potential. Fieldwork included drill core verification, systematic surface and underground sampling, and a pair of modern ground geophysical surveys aimed at mapping subsurface structures and potential chargeability anomalies across priority targets.
The 2025 phase 1 campaign marks the company's most comprehensive field program to date at Cordillera, designed to validate historical drill results and generate new data across multiple high-priority copper zones with the intent to identify and design drill targets.
Program highlights:
-
Drill core sampling verification: Historical diamond drill holes completed in 2008 at the El Alto target were reviewed, relogged and sampled to verify mineralized zones and test for additional extensions. Of the 1,500 metres of historical drilling, all available core was relogged and approximately 354 metres (approximately 25 per cent ) of core were sampled under rigorous quality assurance/quality control protocols consistent with international standards.
-
Surface and underground sampling: A total of 102 rock samples were collected from outcrops, trenches and historical mine workings across three strategic zones, including El Alto, Calcite Hill and additional prospects in the northern corridor.
-
Ground geophysical surveys:
-
Ground Magnetometry was completed over more than 800 hectares, covering the Calcite Hill and El Alto target areas, to define structural trends and potential mineralized corridors.
-
Induced polarization (IP) surveys totalled 10 line kilometres, with five lines each over Calcite Hill and El Alto, spaced approximately 200 metres apart, designed to map disseminated sulphide mineralization and deeper conductive targets.
All core and rock samples have been submitted to ALS Laboratories in Chile for geochemical analysis. The geophysical data sets are being processed and interpreted, with results expected in the coming weeks. These results will form the foundation for Super Copper's next phase of target definition and drilling.
Zachary Dolesky, chief executive officer of Super Copper, stated:
"We're extremely encouraged by what we've seen on the ground at Cordillera. This program was about tightening the geological model, verifying historical data, and adding modern layers of insight through geophysics and systematic sampling. Cordillera continues to demonstrate all the hallmarks of a copper system with scale, alteration, structure and proximity to infrastructure. The groundwork we've completed sets the stage for an exciting next phase as we move toward defining our first drill targets."
Next steps
The company's technical team is now compiling and interpreting results to prioritize high-potential zones for the coming phase 2 exploration.
Super Copper anticipates announcing geochemical and geophysical interpretations in the coming weeks, followed by an update outlining priority drill targets and planned fieldwork for early 2026.
