Interview with Zac Dolesky, Founder & CEO of Super Copper

Recording date: 15th April 2026

Super Copper is a small but increasingly well-defined copper explorer in Chile’s Atacama region, and its story is shifting from groundwork to drilling. The company’s Cordillera project now hosts a kilometre-scale anomaly that could become its first major discovery test, while the Castilla project offers a second pipeline of upside.

Founded by Zac Dolesky after years of direct investing in metals and technology, Super Copper listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange and OTCQB in October 2024. Since then, it has assembled a technical team that includes experienced copper specialists and built a portfolio in one of the world’s premier mining belts.

Cordillera is the main focus. Recent IP work outlined an 800m-plus strike anomaly that remains open along strike and at depth, with the target beginning around 200m below surface and extending beyond 400m vertically. Historical core and surface sampling have strengthened the model, including copper grades reaching 10% at surface and broader mineralized intervals that support the geophysical interpretation.

That data is now feeding into an imminent drilling campaign. Super Copper plans about 5,000m across 8 to 10 holes, targeting roughly 500m depth, with drilling expected by the end of Q2 2026 and first assays in Q3 2026.

The company has also shown unusual capital discipline for a junior explorer. It raised only about $3.5 million over several years before closing a recent $9.75 million financing at $0.75 per share, and it has done so with only 54 million shares outstanding.

That combination of a tight share structure, a funded drill program, and a large target in Chile’s Atacama copper belt gives Super Copper near-term catalyst potential. The main risk is still exploration success, but the company has moved far enough along that the next round of drilling should provide a meaningful read on whether Cordillera is a genuine copper discovery.
