Aston Bay Holdings Stock Price, News & Analysis

Aston Bay Holdings (OTCQB:ATBHF) has announced significant copper discoveries at its Storm Project in Nunavut, Canada. The company, in a 20/80 joint venture with American West Metals, reported extensive copper gossans along 8km of strike and successful drilling results.

Key developments include 8 diamond drill holes totaling 1,786m with significant visual copper sulfides, including PFS-001 with 43m of chalcocite mineralization and PFS-002 with 49.5m of copper mineralization. Additionally, 21 RC drill holes have been completed for resource expansion.

Notably, Ocean Partners Holdings has agreed to provide up to 80% of initial capital for development through a senior secured loan facility, securing 100% offtake rights for copper, silver, and gold products from the Project.

Aston Bay Holdings (TSXV:BAY)(OTCQB:ATBHF) has announced its 2025 regional exploration plans for the Storm Copper Project in Nunavut. The company, which maintains a 20% free carried interest in a joint venture with American West Metals, will focus on resource expansion and regional exploration across a 110km-long prospective belt.

Key developments include high-grade copper discoveries ready for resource definition drilling at multiple sites including Cyclone Deeps (10m @ 1.2% Cu), Cirrus Deeps, and The Gap (20m @ 2.3% Cu). The company plans a Mobile Magneto-Telluric survey to generate new targets and has reduced 2025 costs by $4.0m through efficient logistics planning.

Aston Bay Holdings (OTCQB:ATBHF) and American West Metals announced significant drilling and geophysical results from their Storm Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada. The first diamond drill hole ST25-02 intersected 47m of visual sediment-hosted copper mineralization at the Cyclone Deeps target. The Phase 1 Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MMT) survey identified five new large conductive features between 0-350m depth and several kilometer-scale anomalies at depths >350m.

The project's RC drilling program has completed 12 holes, with assays expected in 4-6 weeks. Notably, the Government of Nunavut granted CAD$250,000 to support the 2025 drilling through their DIG program. The project is structured as an 80/20 joint venture between American West Metals and Aston Bay, with Aston Bay maintaining a free carried interest until a bankable feasibility study completion.

CEO.CA, a leading investor social network for junior resource stocks, featured an interview with Tom Ullrich, CEO of Aston Bay Holdings (OTCQB: ATBHF) in their 'Inside the Boardroom' series. The discussion focused on the company's Epworth Project in Nunavut, which spans an 88 km-long trend of sediment-hosted copper mineralization.

The project has shown promising results with surface samples containing chalcocite boulders yielding up to 61% copper. Recent Mobile MT geophysical surveys have identified new high-priority targets that align with the company's sediment-hosted copper deposit model, comparable to the Central African Copper Belt and their Storm Copper Project.

Aston Bay Holdings (OTCQB: ATBHF) was featured in CEO.CA's 'Inside the Boardroom' interview series, highlighting developments at their Storm Copper Project. CEO Tom Ullrich discussed the project's high-grade copper mineralization averaging 1.4% across a 110-kilometer strike length.

The company has secured significant financial backing, including a $12.5 million USD royalty agreement with Taurus Mining Royalty Fund and a development funding partnership with Ocean Partners that could cover up to 80% of project costs. The project is being developed under a 20/80 joint venture with American West Metals.

Aston Bay Holdings reports promising results from their 2024 exploration programs at the Epworth Project in Nunavut. The MobileMT geophysical survey identified large near-surface conductors potentially indicating copper mineralization. Surface sampling confirmed historical high-grade findings, including 61.2% copper with 5,600 g/t silver at the Payback Showing. The company expanded their claim block by 11,608 hectares to 102,108 ha total. Multiple new copper, zinc, and lead occurrences were discovered across the property, with conductors potentially representing significant sediment-hosted copper deposits similar to Central African models. The project shows all key components for large-scale copper mineralization, with conductors located within 300m from surface extending locally to 900m depth.

Aston Bay Holdings and American West Metals are launching their 2025 summer exploration program at the Storm Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada. The program focuses on drilling high-grade copper discoveries and exploring regional prospects. Key targets include Cyclone Deeps (10m @ 1.2% Cu), Cirrus Deeps, and The Gap (20m @ 2.3% Cu). The project will explore large-scale targets like Tornado/Blizzard and Midway, covering a 110km prospective copper horizon. A Mobile Magneto-Telluric survey is planned to generate new targets. The 2025 program benefits from completed Q4 2024 sealift operations, reducing costs by $4.0m. Aston Bay maintains a 20% free carried interest in the joint venture until a bankable feasibility study completion.

Aston Bay Holdings (TSXV:BAY, OTCQB:ATBHF) has announced significant developments at its Storm Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada. The company has identified a new large-scale copper target at the Midway Prospect, located 5km west of the Storm Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) area.

Key findings include a historical drill hole (AB18-04) with over 58m of visual copper sulfides that remains unsampled. The discovery is part of a 20km stretch within a 110km-long copper-mineralized belt along the Storm Graben Faults. The company plans a comprehensive 2025 exploration program, including:

• Sampling of historical drill holes
• A new helicopter-borne Mobile Magneto-Telluric (MMT) survey
• Follow-up drilling at recent copper discoveries (Squall and The Gap)
• Testing of priority regional targets including Tornado and Blizzard Prospects

Aston Bay maintains a 20% free carried interest in the joint venture with American West Metals (80%), who operates the project.

Aston Bay Holdings (TSXV:BAY)(OTCQB:ATBHF) has filed a Technical Report for its Storm Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada, detailing an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The report highlights:

Indicated Mineral Resources of 8.2 million tonnes at 1.47% copper and 4.5 g/t silver, containing 266.3 million pounds of copper and 1.185 million ounces of silver. Inferred Mineral Resources of 3.3 million tonnes at 1.30% copper and 3.1 g/t silver, containing 95.4 million pounds of copper and 333,600 ounces of silver.

The project shows low-cost development potential with over 90% of contained metal accessible through open-pit mining. All six deposits (Cyclone, Chinook, Corona, Cirrus, Lightning Ridge and Thunder) remain open for expansion. The project is a 20/80 joint venture between Aston Bay and American West Metals , with Aston Bay maintaining a free carried interest until a decision to mine.
