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 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.
