- Castilla Project expanded to 7,200 hectares, now forming one contiguous footprint in Chile's Atacama Belt
- 100% clean ownership: no royalties, back-in rights, or third-party encumbrances
- Creates a larger platform to advance surface exploration and drill-ready targets
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 23, 2025 /CNW/ - SUPER COPPER CORP. (CSE: CUPR) (OTCQB: CUPPF) (FSE: N60) ("Super Copper" or the "Company"), a mining exploration platform focused on copper, is pleased to announce that it has staked an additional 1,400 hectares of mining exploration claims contiguous to its flagship Castilla Copper Project in Chile's Atacama region. This strategic expansion increases the Company's total land position at Castilla to 7,200 hectares (Figure 1.), consolidating a large copper exploration package in the region.
Strengthening Control of a Potential Copper System
The additional ground was acquired through direct staking and is free of royalties, back-in rights, or third-party encumbrances. It borders key structural corridors identified in early-stage technical reviews and significantly enhances the Company's exploration footprint in this highly prospective area.
"This land expansion reflects our commitment to building a dominant copper platform in a world-class jurisdiction," said Zachary Dolesky, Founder & CEO of Super Copper. "With the consolidation of Castilla, we are well positioned to control what we believe could be an emerging copper system. Our approach remains clear: secure clean ownership, allocate capital efficiently, and pursue high-impact discovery potential."
Castilla: A Clean, Scalable Copper Opportunity in the Atacama
Castilla is located within the prolific Atacama mining belt, a region that hosts multiple producing copper mines and past-producing districts. The project lies within trucking distance of a historic operation that produced approximately 1.3 million tonnes grading 1.2% acid-soluble copper (Source Jobin-Bevans, 2024)*, yet Castilla itself remains unexplored by modern exploration including drilling.
The Company recently announced a definitive agreement for the 100% acquisition of Castilla for total milestone-based payments of USD $1.3 million, with just $100,000 paid upfront and all future payments tied to project advancement. This non-dilutive, performance-driven structure reflects Super Copper's disciplined capital philosophy. See the Company's news release dated July 8th, 2025, for more information.
Next Steps
Planning is underway for a comprehensive surface exploration and geophysical campaign across the now-expanded land package, with a focus on generating drill-ready targets. Super Copper will continue to update shareholders as exploration progresses, and new technical data becomes available.
