American West Metals’ Copper Hits May Signal Belt-Scale Resource at Storm Project in Canada

American West Metals (ASX:AW1) continues its winning streak with an 18-meter intercept of visual copper sulphides at its Storm project in Canada, according to an article published by The West Australian.


The company’s outstanding drilling success extended the prospective copper horizon to a further 2 kilometres, also signifying a potential major belt-scale sediment-hosted copper system, the article said.

The first hole delivered 45.5 metres of visual sulphides and the second hole hit another 37 metres of visual breccia-style copper sulphide from 333 metres leading to the discovery of a near-surface copper zone called ‘Thunder.’ The fourth diamond drill hole, ST23-04, intersected a thick 18.5-metre zone of visual copper sulphide.

American West Metals will continue drilling at the Storm project with assay results pending and expected within the next two weeks.

Top 5 Junior Copper Stocks on the TSXV in 2025

The copper price climbed to a record high of US$5.64 per pound on the COMEX during the second quarter of 2025.

The price rise comes on the back of escalating trade tensions and economic chaos from the United States’ new tariff policy.

While copper was initially spared from tariffs at the start of the year, US President Donald Trump announced the US would be imposing a 50 percent tariff on all copper products entering the US. The announcement sparked speculative buying by US metals traders, who sought to position themselves ahead of the yet-to-be-announced tariff deadline.

How has this affected small-cap copper-focused companies on the TSX Venture Exchange? Read on to learn about the five best-performing junior copper stocks since the start of 2025.

Data for this article was gathered on July 17, 2025, using TradingView's stock screener, and copper companies with market caps of over C$10 million at that time were considered.
