ArcWest Exploration Inc. reports developments from a British Columbia mineral exploration business focused on copper-gold and related porphyry systems. The company uses a project generator model, with updates centered on exploration programs, drill results and partner-funded work across projects such as Todd Creek, Oweegee Dome and Rip.
Recurring company news also includes earn-in and option arrangements, technical updates on mineralized zones and targets, annual meeting materials, board and advisory changes, and equity incentive grants. Todd Creek, a wholly owned copper-gold project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, is a frequent subject of partner-funded exploration disclosure.
ArcWest Exploration (symbol SJRNF) granted 2,175,000 stock options to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, exercisable for five years.
The options are subject to vesting provisions, with a portion vesting immediately and the remainder vesting every six months.
ArcWest (OTC: SJRNF) reported results from 4,614 m in nine drill holes across the 13 km Todd Creek Alteration Corridor in 2025. Freeport funded the program under a March 2023 earn-in that can reach 51% by spending C$20M. Multiple Cu-Au targets returned broad alteration, high pyrite, and several multi-meter Cu-Ag and Cu-Au intersections, including >1% Cu intervals at Yellow Bowl and porphyry-style mineralization at Orange Mountain, supporting follow-up geophysics and drilling in 2026.
ArcWest Exploration (TSXV: SJRNF) provided a 2025 exploration update on seven Cu-Au projects in British Columbia, led by the 100% owned Todd Creek project being advanced under a Freeport earn-in.
Key facts: $3.28M cash on hand (Oct 21, 2025), market cap $10.9M (Nov 3, 2025), Todd Creek completed 4,614 m of drilling in 2025 on a CAD $4.2M Freeport-funded program; assays are under review and 2026 planning is underway. Other projects with recent work or partners include Sparrowhawk, Oweegee, Eagle, Lemare, Teeta Creek and Rip (Rip drilling confirmed porphyry-style mineralization).
ArcWest Exploration (TSXV: AWX) filed its notice of annual general meeting and management information circular for a shareholders' meeting on November 6, 2025 at 11:00 am PT at Suite 1700 - 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver.

Meeting agenda items include: receipt of fiscal 2024 financial statements and auditor's report; setting the number of directors at five; director elections; appointment of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte LLP as auditor; and ratification of a 10% rolling share option plan. Proxy cutoff is 4:00 pm on November 5, 2025.
ArcWest Exploration (TSXV: AWX, OTC: SJRNF) has announced a CAD$4 million drilling program at its Todd Creek Copper-Gold Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, fully funded by Freeport-McMoRan. The program, scheduled to begin by June 2025, is part of Freeport's earn-in agreement to acquire 51% interest by spending CAD$20M over five years.
The program will test four major copper-gold targets: Orange Mountain, Fall Creek - Ice Creek, Yellow Bowl, and South Zone. Historical drilling has shown promising results, including 3.6 g/t Au and 0.27% Cu over 29.75m at South Zone. The company maintains a strong financial position with $2.65 million in treasury and $391,489 in marketable securities as of May 2025.
ArcWest Exploration (TSXV: AWX) has reported results from its 2024 drill program at the Oweegee Dome Porphyry Cu-Au-Mo-Ag Project in B.C.'s Golden Triangle. The program, funded and operated by Sanatana Resources, successfully extended the mineralized Delta Zone to the northwest through drillholes OW24-03 and OW24-04.
Notable intersections include 46 meters grading 0.216% Cu and 0.148 g/t Au in OW24-03, and 18.5 meters grading 0.058% Cu and 0.210 g/t Au in OW24-04. While holes OW24-01 and OW24-02 testing the Junction IP anomaly did not return significant results, the drilling suggests the Delta Zone mineralization may extend under Hazelton cover rocks.
The company also highlighted several underexplored targets on the property, including Upper East Bear Valley, Lower East Bear Valley, Snowpatch, and Tarn Zone, which show promising surface sampling results.
ArcWest Exploration (TSXV: AWX) has reported results from its first phase drill program at the Rip copper-molybdenum project in central British Columbia. The program, funded by Copper Quest Exploration, confirmed a Cu-Mo mineralized porphyry system at the North target.
Key findings include drill hole RP24-001 intersecting 24.6m of 0.13% Cu and 109ppm Mo. The drilling program consisted of two holes totaling 1,033 metres, revealing multiple phases of porphyritic intrusions with potassic to phyllic alteration and multistage veining.
The North target has been partially defined as a 600m wide subvertical cylindrical mineralized zone. While most assays showed only anomalous Cu-Mo levels, the presence of intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration and strongly developed vein sets indicates a significant porphyry system. The majority of geophysical targets, including the entire South target, remain untested.
As of March 13, 2025, ArcWest maintains a strong financial position with $2.73 million in treasury and approximately $185,000 in marketable securities.
ArcWest Exploration has signed an option agreement to acquire 100% interest in the Lemare Copper-Gold Project, a 3,274-hectare property in northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The project is located within the Jurassic Bonanza Group volcanic arc, approximately 30 km south of BHP's past-producing Island Copper mine.
The property features multiple copper-gold-molybdenum occurrences across a 5x3 km area, with historical sampling revealing high-grade copper mineralization up to 5.96% Cu. The project includes nine MINFILE occurrences and extensive hydrothermal alteration zones. ArcWest can earn full ownership through staged payments totaling $195,000 over five years, with a minimum expenditure requirement of $100,000 in the first year.
The company currently has $2.53 million in treasury and expects additional option payments totaling $325,000.
ArcWest Exploration (TSXV: AWX) has completed its 2024 porphyry copper exploration programs across multiple projects. Partner-funded drilling was completed at the Rip porphyry Cu-Mo project and Oweegee Dome porphyry Cu-Au-Mo project. At Todd Creek, funded by Freeport-McMoRan, mapping/sampling revealed new copper showings and expanded the hydrothermal-magmatic system footprint. The company maintains a strong financial position with $2.5 million in treasury and anticipates additional option payments totaling $325,000. Notable discoveries include high-grade Cu-Au occurrences at Todd Creek, with samples returning up to 262 g/t Au and 2.46% Cu.
ArcWest Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AWX) has announced partner-funded drilling programs for two of its porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum projects in 2024.

The Rip project is scheduled for drilling in late summer/fall, funded by Interra Copper. Additionally, mapping and sampling will continue at the Todd Creek project, funded by Freeport-McMoRan, to prepare for a significant drill program in 2025.
ArcWest reports a strong financial position with $2.55 million in cash, zero warrants, and low burn rate. The company anticipates $325,000 in option payments and $120,000 in operatorship fees. With a current market cap of $9 million, ArcWest presents multiple opportunities for copper-gold discoveries in 2024.
