Welcome to our dedicated page for Northwest Copper news (Ticker: NWCCF), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Northwest Copper stock.
NorthWest Copper Corp. reports exploration and technical updates for its copper-gold assets in British Columbia, centered on the 100% owned Kwanika-Stardust Project. Recurring developments include drill results from Kwanika Central, Pit Zone targets and the Andesite Breccia target, along with mineral resource updates for the Kwanika Central deposit.
The company’s news also covers metallurgical testing, precious-metal recovery work, sensor-based ore sorting, and Preliminary Economic Assessment work tied to potential open-pit and underground development concepts. Updates commonly discuss copper, gold and silver recovery, higher-grade mineralized zones, geological modeling and project-scale technical studies.
NorthWest (NWCCF) announced an updated Kwanika Central mineral resource effective Feb 27, 2026, to support an updated PEA targeted for mid-2026. Key metrics: Indicated 16.22 Mt @ 0.63% Cu (1.27% CuEq); Inferred 28.97 Mt @ 0.48% Cu (1.05% CuEq).
The update separates open pit and sub-level cave volumes, notes ~24% host rock inside the SLC shape (~8.62 Mt), and starts metallurgical and power sub-studies to refine economics ahead of the PEA.
NorthWest Copper (OTC: NWCCF) reported positive XRT ore-sorting test results at Kwanika that upgraded mill feed grades by ~19–20% and produced high metal recoveries of ~88–90% in ~75% of processed mass. The program produced a sorted product grading ~1.10% Cu, 2.00 g/t Au and a 25% low-grade reject stockpile to be processed later. Results will be evaluated for a new Preliminary Economic Assessment targeted for mid‑2026 and may allow reduced mill size, lower upfront capital and lower environmental footprint.
NorthWest (OTC: NWCCF) reported 2025 metallurgical test results at Kwanika showing substantially improved precious‑metal recoveries versus prior work. Gold recoveries reached ~94.6%–96.3%, silver ~96.3% and copper ~88.9%–90.2%. Combined flotation plus tails leach increased overall recoveries by 34% for gold and 37% for silver. Tests used finer grinding (P80 ~53 microns) with flotation and tailings leach; results will feed an updated resource in Q1 2026 and a targeted PEA in mid‑2026.
NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWCCF) reported final results from its 2025 Kwanika exploration program, highlighting expansion potential at the Andesite Breccia target and follow-up plans for 2026. Hole K-25-279 intersected 43.6 m grading 0.17% Cu and 0.03 g/t Au (0.21% CuEq), expanding the Andesite Breccia ~90 m to the southeast and defining a 230° trend that remains open northwest and at depth. Historical hole K-08-122 contained 76.2 m of 0.42% Cu and 0.06 g/t Au (0.48% CuEq). K-25-285 and K-25-288 at the Transfer target returned no significant assays; pyrite explained the IP anomaly. An updated mineral resource is planned for Q1 2026 and a PEA update is targeted for mid-2026.
NorthWest Copper Corp (NWCCF) reported results from drill hole K-25-287 at the Kwanika project on Jan 5, 2026, highlighting a near-surface intercept of 25.9 m @ 0.91% Cu, 1.29 g/t Au (2.09% CuEq) from 154.0 m.
Other notable intervals include 47.5 m @ 1.22% Cu, 0.82 g/t Au (1.99% CuEq) from 96.5 m and 32.0 m @ 0.32% Cu, 1.13 g/t Au (1.34% CuEq) from 285.0 m. The company says these results expand higher-grade Pit Zones and confirm continuity in Central Zones, supporting a planned Q1 2026 mineral resource update and a targeted mid-2026 PEA update.
The release also notes an internal amalgamation of two wholly owned subsidiaries effective Jan 1, 2026, with no change to share capital.
NorthWest (NWCCF) reported drill results from two 2025 holes at its 100% owned Kwanika project, highlighted by a 43 m intercept grading 1.83% Cu and 1.28 g/t Au (3.01% CuEq) from 260 m in hole K-25-283 and a near-surface 123 m intercept grading 1.31% Cu and 0.83 g/t Au (2.09% CuEq) from 28 m in hole K-25-273.
The holes infill and expand higher-grade zones (Pit and Central), clarify structural controls including ~100 m of late fault offset, and support management's view that 2025 drilling plus metallurgical test work may enable a more capital-efficient PEA update.
NorthWest Copper (NWCCF) reported 2025 drill results from two holes at its 100% owned Kwanika project on Dec 17, 2025. Highlights include 59.8 m of 0.70% Cu and 0.95 g/t Au (1.57% CuEq) from 40.8 m in hole K-25-266 and multiple near-surface higher-grade intervals in K-25-265 and K-25-266. The results expand Pit Zone 10, define a newly recognized Pit Zone 12, and show zones remain open along strike and down-dip. NorthWest says the first 12 holes validate targeting and could support a higher-quality mineral resource and an improved PEA versus 2023.
NorthWest (NWCCF) reported results from three 2025 drill holes at its 100% owned Kwanika project dated Dec 10, 2025. Highlights include 58.0 m @ 0.96% Cu and 1.04 g/t Au (1.92% CuEq) from 94 m in hole K-25-275 and multiple near-surface higher-grade intercepts in holes K-25-277 and K-25-284. K-25-284 extended Pit Zone 10 by 40 m along strike and down-dip while K-25-277 confirmed up-dip continuity. Results expanded higher-grade domains inside the existing open pit mineral resource and support prioritizing starter pit zones for a future PEA. QA/QC and assay methods were described and data were reviewed by a qualified person.
NorthWest (OTC: NWCCF) reported drill results from two 2025 holes at its 100% owned Kwanika project on Nov 27, 2025, highlighted by 26 m of 0.72% Cu and 1.30 g/t Au (1.91% CuEq) from 268 m in hole K-25-281 and 75.7 m of 0.93% Cu (1.23% CuEq) from 22.3 m in K-25-282. Both holes returned broad near-surface copper-gold mineralization and K-25-281 extended the Central Zone ~30 m to the northeast.
The release notes improved confidence in higher-grade domains, ongoing metallurgical test work, and plans to use results for an updated mineral resource and future PEA planning.
NorthWest Copper Corp (TSX-V: NWST / Symbol: NWCCF) reported drill hole K-25-278 at Kwanika returned multiple near-surface copper-gold intercepts, including 44.0 m @ 0.62% Cu and 0.42 g/t Au (1.01% CuEq) from 172 m and 36.0 m @ 0.65% Cu and 0.64 g/t Au (1.25% CuEq) from 220 m. The hole also returned an 80.0 m lower-grade interval from 47 m.
The 2025 program totals 6,435 m and aims to define higher-grade zones to support alternative mining methods and an updated PEA; additional results from 13 holes are forthcoming. QA/QC used Actlabs (Kamloops) with external checks.
