Copper Quest Exploration Inc. commenced a 32.4 km2 induced polarization geophysical survey on its 100% owned Stars Property. Stars is a porphyry copper-molybdenum project covering 9,693 hectares in the Stikine region of British Columbia, situated approximately 60 km north of Imperial Metals Corporation?s past producing Huckleberry Cu-Mo mine, 50 km north-northeast of Surge Copper Corp?s advanced stage Berg copper project, and 30 km north-northwest of Vizsla Copper Corp?s Poplar copper-gold project. This very large IP survey represents the first time this geophysical technique has been applied across the full extent of the Stars Property, including over the Tana Zone discovery area and its along-strike extensions.

Induced polarization is a proven method for detecting sulphide mineralization, the type of copper-bearing material found at Stars, at depth and at distance from known drill holes. By imaging the full 32.4 km² footprint of the magnetic anomaly, the Company aims to determine the true scale of the mineralized system in terms of strike length, width, and depth, and to identify potential new drill targets beyond the current Tana Zone. Highlights of the Stars Property: Road accessible, 9,693 ha property in a top tier exploration and mining district, the Bulkley Porphyry Belt.

A 230 X 180 metre domain (the ?Tana Zone?) of chalcopyrite-molybdenite-bornite quartz stockwork that has been intersected from surface to greater than 350 m depth. The zone is open in two directions as well as to depth. Drill Intersection highlights include: 0.466% Cu over 195.07 m in drill hole DD18SS004 from 23.47 m, 0.200% Cu over 396.67 m in drill hole DD18SS010 from 29.37 m, 0.205% Cu over 207.27 m in drill hole DD18SS015 from 163.98 m. A highly prospective, approximately 5 X 2.5 kilometre, annular magnetic anomaly that is interpreted as an altered monzonite intrusion and surrounding hornfels.

Numerous underexplored soil and induced polarization geophysical targets within the larger magnetic anomaly. The 9,693 ha, road-accessible Stars Property is located in central British Columbia, 40 km southwest of Houston. It hosts porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with a Bulkley Suite monzonite stock.

The Bulkley Suite is linked to mineralization at Imperial Metals' past-producing Huckleberry mine, 60 km to the south, and other porphyry deposits in the region. Three drilling campaigns on the Stars Property, totaling 9,016 m, have identified a broad area of anomalous copper, and molybdenum within the monzonite stock. The most important drilling to date is at the Tana Zone, where the contact between the stock and surrounding volcanic rock contains chalcopyrite, molybdenite and bornite bearing quartz stockwork veining.

Tana Zone drilling has defined an approximately 230 x 180 m domain with significant copper and molybdenum grades.

Outside the Tana Zone, most drilling on the property encountered altered and anomalous mineralized monzonite within an approximately 1.8 x 1.0 km area marked by a broad magnetic low.

While there is potential for an undiscovered porphyry deposit within the monzonite intrusion, Copper Quest's future exploration will concentrate on specific IP targets along the contact zones. Several historical drill holes are believed to have approached this contact, with assays at their bottoms showing increased copper and molybdenite values. Their drill logs also indicate an increase in quartz-chalcopyrite-molybdenite ± bornite veins with pink K-feldspar altered selvages, similar to those found in the Tana Zone.

True width of historical drill intersections referenced in this press release are unknown. Historical drill data in this release is derived from previous exploration activities conducted by other parties.

While this data may provide insights into the mineralization potential on the property, it should not be relied upon as conclusive evidence of mineral potential or project viability.
