VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / Star Copper Corp. (the "Company") (CSE:STCU)(OTC:STCUF)(FWB:PP00) is pleased to announce, further to its news releases dated February 17 and March 3, 2026, that it has closed its non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of C$7,306,000 from the sale of 5,844,800 flow-through shares of the Company (each, a "FT Share", and collectively, the "FT Shares") at a price of C$1.25 per FT Share (the "Offering"). Due to investor demand, the Company further upsized the Offering for additional gross proceeds of $1,306,000 from the sale of an additional 1,044,800 FT Shares. The FT Shares were issued as "flow-through shares", as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act").
The gross proceeds from the Offering will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that are "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", within the meaning of the Tax Act, on the Company's flagship Star Project in British Columbia. The Company expects the flow-through funds to directly support an aggressive 2026 drill program, including expanded step-out drilling, deeper testing of priority targets, and follow-up drilling guided by ongoing three-dimensional geological modeling and planned deep-penetrating 3D geophysics.
The Company paid cash finder's fees in connection with subscriptions to the Offering totaling $420,332.50. All securities issued under the Offering have a hold period of four months and a day from the date of issuance.
The Company's private placement of charity flow-through units is ongoing as announced on March 3, 2026.
