As the global energy transition accelerates, copper has emerged as one of the most essential commodities, fueling everything from electric vehicles to renewable energy infrastructure. With major producers facing declining grades and new discoveries becoming increasingly rare, exploration-stage companies are stepping into the spotlight, offering investors leverage to the next wave of supply.
Shares of Super Copper Corp. (CSE: $CUPR)(OTCQB: $CUPPF) are climbing Friday after the company announced its geological team has mobilized to the field at its flagship Chilean copper projects, Cordillera Cobre and Castilla. The programs are designed to define and refine drill targets, with results expected in Q4 2025 to directly guide the company’s upcoming drilling campaign.
At Cordillera Cobre, work is focused on multiple high-priority zones, including El Alto, Calcite Hill, Mina Anima, and the North/Northwest areas. Efforts underway include core logging and sampling of historical drill core, systematic surface and underground sampling, induced polarization (IP) surveys, and ground magnetometry. The integration of geophysics with surface and core data is expected to sharpen drill targeting and provide the foundation for confident collar planning.
Meanwhile, at Castilla, Super Copper has initiated a first-pass property-wide prospecting program aimed at generating a robust geochemical dataset. The goal is to identify new zones of interest and establish a pipeline of future drill targets. Combined, these programs set the stage for systematic drilling across both properties.
CEO Zachary Dolesky emphasized that the work represents the critical step forward: “This fieldwork is about getting us to the next stage: drilling. Cordillera already hosts multiple zones of interest where surface work and geophysics are expected to give us a clear picture of where to drill first. Castilla, meanwhile, is a wide-open project where we’re establishing the foundation for future drill targeting.
Together, these programs set us up to move decisively into drilling with confidence in our target models.”
The programs are supported by new infrastructure, including completed roadwork to El Alto, access to laboratory facilities, and contracted geophysics providers experienced in the region. Results are expected in the coming quarter, with updates on drill planning to follow.
Shares of CUPR are up 18% at $0.46 in Canada, while U.S.-listed shares of CUPPF are higher by 22.1% at $0.32 in Friday afternoon trading.
