VANCOUVER, BC — January 15, 2026 — Leads & Copy — SUPER COPPER CORP. has announced a high-grade discovery from rock grab samples at its Castilla Copper-Gold Project in Chile’s Atacama Region. The company’s Phase 1 surface sampling program, comprised of mostly selective rock grab samples and floats, has identified a high-grade, multi-commodity mineral system characterized by bonanza-grade gold, exceptionally high copper, and iron values, supporting the presence of a large and robust mineralizing system.
According to Zachary Dolesky, CEO, the results represent a defining discovery moment for Super Copper. Dolesky stated that the grades of 53.8 g/t gold, 17.7% copper, and over 50.0% iron are exceptional on their own, but what matters most is the consistency and scale emerging across the property. The combination of gold, copper, iron, and pathfinder elements points to a robust mineralizing system rather than a single isolated occurrence. With multiple mineralized structures identified, Castilla is quickly shaping up as a potential flagship asset in one of the world’s premier copper-gold jurisdictions.
The sampling program identified a high-grade, multi-commodity mineral system with notable results, including:
- 24 of 93 samples (25%) returned gold grades over 1.0 g/t Au.
- 8 of 93 samples returned copper grades over 1.0% Cu, and 24 samples returned higher than 0.1% Cu.
- 10 of 93 samples returned iron grades over 50.0% Fe, and 23 samples returned iron grades over 10.0% Fe.
Bonanza Gold Highlights:
- 53.8 g/t Au (Sample E02610). Quartz vein float from historical mine working.
- 15.9 g/t Au (Sample E02567). Quartz vein float from historical trench.
- 6.09 g/t Au (Sample E02521). Sheared/brecciated vein in old near vertical shaft.
Exceptional Copper Highlights:
- 17.7% Cu (Sample E02505). Float near excavation of magnetite vein breccia with malachite and minor chrysocolla and azurite. Malachite infilling fractures and in breccia cement.
- 6.86% Cu (Sample E02525). Float near old mine working. Altered quartz diorite.
- 3.27% Cu (Sample E02506). Quartz vein hosted in quartz diorite with malachite and chalcocite.
High Grade Iron Oxide Veins:
- 10 of 93 samples returned iron grades over 50.0% Fe, hosted in magnetite-, hematite-, and specular hematite–rich veins and brecciated zones with quartz and minor copper sulphides within diorite.
The Castilla Project is located within a world-class copper-gold belt. The lack of direct correlation between peak gold and peak copper values suggests the presence of multiple mineralized structures, rather than a single localized zone, an important indicator of scale. Mineralization is consistent with IOCG style deposits typically reported in the region with possible superimposed events associated with gold bearing quartz veins. Extent and depth of these veins remain to be determined.
Super Copper is planning further property wide detailed sampling and mapping, property-wide magnetics and IP survey, advanced targeting, and drill planning.
All samples were submitted to ALS Group Chile with a preparation laboratory in Copiapo. Analysis was carried out at ALS Global laboratories in Peru. Gold was determined by Fire Assay with an AAS finish and Gravimetric finish for over-limits. Copper was analyzed via 4-acid digestion ME-MS61 with Cu-OG62 for overlimits.
