Key outcomes: Directors Maryantonett Flumian, Enrico De Pasquale, Adam Manna, James Steel and Paul Olmsted were re-elected; officers and committee chairs were reappointed; MNP LLP was appointed auditors for the ensuing year with directors authorized to fix their remuneration; and the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan was re-approved.
NorthWest (NWCCF) reported assay results from drill hole K-25-272 at Kwanika on Oct 15, 2025. The 456 m hole is part of a planned 5,135 m, 17-hole 2025 program and returned 16.9 m @ 1.37% CuEq from 385.3 m and 28.0 m @ 0.73% CuEq from 50.0 m.
The hole extends higher-grade mineralization 50 m down dip in the Central and Western zones, intersects multiple mineralized intervals consistent with the company’s high-grade Target Model, and supports a future updated mineral resource and PEA.
NorthWest (OTC: NWCCF) released first assay from its 2025 Kwanika diamond drill program, reporting a headline intercept of 44.0 m @ 0.66% Cu and 2.81 g/t Au from 198.0 m (hole K-25-269), including higher-grade internal intervals (31.8 m @ 3.14 g/t Au; 5.7 m @ 0.99% Cu & 3.66 g/t Au). The company plans a 5,135 m, 17-hole program to update the mineral resource and test a higher‑grade target model aimed at a revised pit-plus-bulk‑underground mine design. K-25-269 also intersected a native copper zone and two thinner Western Zone structures; QA/QC and assay methods were disclosed.
NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWST) has launched a new metallurgical testing program at its 100% owned Kwanika project to enhance metal recoveries, particularly focusing on improving gold recovery rates from the current 65.6% reported in the 2023 PEA.
The company has engaged Canenco Consulting Corp. to manage the program, which aims to optimize flotation processes through various testing methods, including finer grinding sizes and potential ore sorting techniques. The program will evaluate metallurgical responses at different grind sizes and explore opportunities to manage mining dilution through selective bulk mining methods.
Additionally, NorthWest has granted 700,000 stock options to non-executive directors with an exercise price of $0.315, vesting over two years.
NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWST) has announced its decision to maintain its option on the Asitka claims, a crucial part of its 100% owned Arjay project. The 4,800-hectare Arjay project, located 50 kilometers south of Kemess, features three high-potential exploration targets: North Ridge, Arjay, and Asitka Lake Area.
The company has amended its third anniversary payment under the Option Agreement, extending the deadline to September 2025 and modifying the payment structure to $37,500 in cash and $87,500 in Common Shares. Additionally, NorthWest has entered into debt settlement agreements worth $54,660 through the issuance of 188,483 Common Shares at $0.29 per share.
Notable exploration results include samples showing 3.9% Cu at North Ridge and up to 57.3% Cu within the Arjay target's quartz shear zone, demonstrating significant mineral potential.
NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWST) has commenced its 2025 drilling program at the 100% owned Kwanika project. The company has mobilized two drill rigs to execute a 5,135-metre drill program following a successful flow-through financing.
The program focuses on three key areas: the Kwanika Central Deposit (4,285 metres in 14 holes), and two exploration targets - the Transfer Target and Andesite Breccia Target (850 metres in 3 holes). The drilling aims to confirm and expand the company's higher-grade target model announced in April 2025, with results intended to support an updated mineral resource estimate and revised mine design.
The program is scheduled to continue through October 2025, with results expected to inform an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in the first half of 2026.
NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWST) has unveiled a new higher-grade target model for its 100% owned Kwanika project, marking a strategic shift towards a staged development approach. The model identifies two broad parallel zones with combined mineralized true widths of 30-45m at higher grades between 1.5% and 2.5% CuEq.
The target zones are grouped into three areas:
- Western Area: Two parallel zones trending east-west, dipping 47° north, with grades 1.7-1.8% CuEq and true widths 20-24m each
- Central Area: Two parallel zones trending north-south, dipping 55° east, with grades 2.2-2.5% CuEq and true widths 10-14m each
- PEA Pit Area: Two sub-parallel zones trending east-west with grades 1.7-2.4% CuEq and true widths 11-29m each
The target model supports a potential size range of 15-30 million tonnes of higher-grade mineralized material, with enhanced recovery potential for both copper and gold through flotation alone.
NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWST) has announced a new phased development approach for its 100% owned Kwanika-Stardust project. The 2025 strategy focuses on three key areas: targeting higher-grade sub-domains within Kwanika's mineralization, exploring near-surface opportunities close to existing resources, and evaluating a hub-and-spoke development scenario including Kwanika South and Lorraine resources.
The company aims to enhance the existing PEA's value by implementing an initial phase concentrated on higher-grade copper and gold domains at Kwanika. This approach, combined with the Stardust project, is expected to improve economics through higher grades and lower initial capital costs. Current copper and gold prices have increased significantly (43% and 84% respectively) compared to PEA estimates.
VP Business Development Geoff Chinn plans to refine the geology model by focusing on gold-copper zones with a 1 g/t gold threshold, moving away from copper equivalent grades. The company also aims to improve metal recoveries, particularly for gold, which currently ranges from 60% for open pit to 71% for underground material.
