Aston Bay and American West Metals Report Multiple New Copper Targets Along the 110km-long Copper Belt at the Storm Project, Nunavut, Canada

2024-11-25 07:00:00

Drilling, soil geochemistry and electromagnetics continue to highlight large-scale regional exploration potential Seabreeze Prospect: Greenfield exploration has defined a new base metal prospect at the far northwestern extent of the 110 kilometre ("km") long copper belt - this new area is named ‘Seabreeze' and covers an area of approximately 10 km x 2 km Ground gravity survey at Seabreeze has identified dense features within the prospective Allen Bay Formation - the same stratigraphic host to the Storm copper deposits Hailstorm Prospect: Geological mapping and rock sampling have discovered chalcocite gossans grading >50% copper ("Cu") within an unexplored area at Storm to the south of the Southern Graben - now named ‘Hailstorm' Follow-up geochemical sampling has defined a 250 m x 250 m copper anomaly along a major fault The geological setting is identical to that of the near-surface, high-grade copper deposits at Chinook, Thunder, Lightning Ridge, and Corona Tornado Prospect: Deep searching Moving Loop Electromagnetics ("MLEM") has defined new conductors below the limit of current drilling at Tornado, 5 km along strike from the known Storm deposits All Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill holes have intersected anomalous copper, silver, and zinc in favourable geological locations, confirming the Storm mineralization model at Tornado and providing compelling targets for follow-up drilling Tempest Prospect: Reconnaissance drilling at Tempest - located 40 km south of the known Storm copper deposits - has intersected anomalous copper, zinc, and silver within Storm-style stratigraphy The area is defined by a 4km-long zone of gossans, grading up to 38.2% Cu and 30.8% Zinc ("Zn"), confirming Tempest as a high-priority prospect for follow-up drilling TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 25, 2024 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd.

Laboratory assays are required to determine the presence and grade of any contained mineralization within the reported visual intersections of copper sulfides.
