Aston Bay and American West Metals have reported significant copper mineralization from their ongoing drilling program at the Storm Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada. The 2024 Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling has successfully identified new zones of copper sulfides. Notable findings include:

- Drill hole SR24-02 at Cyclone North intersected 36.6m of visual copper sulfides from 79.3m downhole.

- Drill hole SR24-03 at The Gap intersected 47.2m, with a 10m interval of very strong copper sulfides from 36.6m downhole.

- Drill hole SR24-04 at The Gap intersected 30.5m of visual copper sulfides from 29m downhole.

These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys in identifying copper mineralization. Assay results from the first batch of drilling are expected soon. Phase 1 of the MLEM surveys is complete, with deeper searches underway. Over 20,000m of drilling is planned for 2024, targeting both known and new zones of mineralization.

Additionally, non-flow through units and FT shares continue to be available, with the potential to raise an extra $3,620,000. The net proceeds will be used for exploration and development in Nunavut, Canada, and Virginia, USA.

Aston Bay Holdings and American West Metals have announced new copper targets at the Storm Copper Project in Canada. High-powered electromagnetic surveys have identified new exploration targets, with potential for discovering additional copper mineralization. The preliminary interpretation of the initial results from geophysical activities has highlighted several new exploration targets, extending high-grade copper mineralization at the Cyclone Zone and other areas. The ongoing surveys and drilling activities aim to test these new targets and historical anomalies for near-surface high-grade copper mineralization. A deeper-looking survey planned between the North and South Graben Faults will explore potential mineralization at depths of 200-500m.
