Super Copper Corp. has commenced a Phase 2 geophysics program, including induced polarization and resistivity surveys, at its 100%-owned Castilla Project in Chile.

The survey spans twelve lines totaling approximately 22 line-kilometres designed across six priority vein-hosted target areas. The program uses a deep-penetrating pole-dipole array with 50-metre dipoles expanded through up to 20 separations to resolve narrow, steeply dipping vein structures while imaging for larger mineralisation bodies at depth. A gradient array test is also planned over the first vein target to evaluate faster, lower-cost coverage options.

Argali Geofisica EIRL is conducting the survey under the supervision of technical consultant APEX Geoscience Ltd. The field work has an estimated duration of approximately 20 days.

Once acquired, the apparent resistivity and chargeability data will be inverted in two dimensions and combined with existing three-dimensional magnetic vector inversion models, hyperspectral alteration mapping and surface sampling. The integrated dataset will generate a consolidated drill-target ranking for the project.

“The first phase of geophysics gave us the architecture at Castilla, kilometre-scale bodies that fit the IOCG model we are testing. This next phase of geophysics, IP, is the tool that tells us which of the vein systems we have sampled at surface connect to potential sulphide mineralization at depth. We are running the survey over six target areas at once so that we go into our first drill program at Castilla with ranked, geophysically supported targets.”

Super Copper expects initial results from the survey in October 2026.
