11:24 AM EDT, 10/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Super Copper ( CUPPF ) shares rose almost 15% Friday after it announced the identification of gold mineralization within at least two generations of quartz-carbonate veins and the copper-bearing iron oxide system at its Castilla Project in northern Chile.

The company said initial rock sampling from historical workings and outcrops in late 2023 returned up to 5.0 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 5.5% copper, confirming that gold is spatially associated with quartz-carbonate veins and with copper mineralization in quartz-magnetite vein systems hosted by altered diorite intrusives.

The early gold values "confirm that our system carries both copper and precious metal potential, a key characteristic of some of Chile's most productive deposits," Super Copper ( CUPPF ) chief executive Zachary Dolesky. "We're now expanding systematic sampling, with nearly 100 samples from Castilla already submitted for analysis to better define the scale and distribution of this gold-bearing system."

The company said a total of 93 new rock samples have been collected in 2025 across priority zones for assay and geochemistry, with results expected in the coming weeks. Super Copper ( CUPPF ) is expanding its surface program to further define the gold-copper relationship across multiple target areas at Castilla.

Shares of the company were last seen up $0.07 at $0.55 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
