Exploration drilling and Moving Loop Electromagnetics (MLEM)
Drilling of an MLEM anomaly in an untested area south of the Thunder Prospect has intersected strong visual copper sulfides from approximately 181.4m downhole - this new discovery is named ‘Squall'
The deep-searching 400m loop MLEM survey is currently underway at Tornado where it has identified two EM anomalies spatially coincident with outcropping copper
Drilling of the 1,300m x 500m EM anomaly below the Cirrus Deposit is in progress with the diamond hole planned to a depth of 600m
Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Laboratory assays are required to determine the presence and grade of any contained mineralization within the reported visual intersections of copper sulfides. Portable XRF is used as an aid in the determination of mineral type and abundance during the geological logging process.
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2024 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSXV:BAY)(OTCQB:ATBHF) ("Aston Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on drilling activities and geophysical surveys at the Storm Copper Project ("Storm" or the "Project") on Somerset Island, Nunavut. The exploration program is being conducted by American West Metals Limited ("American West"), who is the operator of the Project. Aston Bay and American West have formed a 20/80 unincorporated joint venture in respect of the Storm Project property, with Aston Bay maintaining a free carried interest until a decision to mine upon completion of a bankable feasibility study.
Thomas Ullrich, Chief Executive Officer of Aston Bay, commented:
"The outstanding results keep coming in from the exploration program conducted by our partner American West at Storm. The drilling, which has exceeded the planned 20,000m of drilling, continues to expand the known areas of copper mineralization with more RC and diamond drill holes underway.
"In addition, we have made another significant copper discovery, named "Squall," by drilling a blind MLEM geophysical target. This is the second discovery from drilling MLEM anomalies this year. Both discoveries are in the little-explored Southern Graben area where there is no outcropping copper mineralization, spotlighting both the growth potential for a resource at Storm and confirming the effectiveness of MLEM in pointing the way to copper discoveries.
"The diamond drill has just started spinning on a new MLEM target located below the Cirrus deposit. The configuration of this large 1,300m x 500m anomaly suggests a potentially mineralized horizon with feeder faults as predicted by the geological model and as seen elsewhere at Storm. With the positive hit rate drilling EM targets at Storm, we eagerly anticipate seeing this core.
"Exploration activities at the Tornado, Blizzard, and Tempest areas are also yielding very compelling targets, with additional work, including drilling, underway."
OVERVIEW
A total of 128 RC drill holes and 14 diamond drill holes have been completed at Storm and Tempest during 2024, exceeding the planned target of 20,000m (Figure 1). Drilling continues, with further assays expected in batches over the coming weeks.
Recent results from the Cyclone Deposit have confirmed further intersections of very high-grade copper up to 13.5% Cu both within and outside of the current resource envelope.
Exploration drilling targeting an MLEM anomaly in the Southern Graben area has intersected strong visual copper sulfides at the end of the hole. The new discovery and area have been named ‘Squall' and the drill hole is being extended to confirm the full extent of the mineralization.
The deep-searching MLEM survey is currently underway in the Tornado and Blizzard areas and has identified two high-priority EM anomalies located in favourable stratigraphy and spatially coincident with outcropping copper. Previous drilling at Storm has confirmed the strong correlation between EM targets and high-grade copper sulfides, the most recent example being Squall, which makes these compelling targets potentially leading to the discovery of copper within a new and untested area.

EXCEPTIONAL COPPER HITS AT CYCLONE
Assay results from drill holes SR24-026, -027, -031, -033, -035, -037, -039, -055, -057, and -059 have been received and continue to confirm thick, near-surface intervals of copper sulfide mineralization.
The drilling results demonstrate consistent copper grades and highlight the excellent lateral continuity of the high-grade mineralization within Cyclone (Figure 2). Additionally, thick intervals of coherent copper mineralization (>1% Cu) have been intersected outside of the existing known zone of copper mineralization, highlighting the resource potential to the north and south of the deposit.
Drilling has confirmed that a small area in the central-eastern portion of the resource is characterized by a "tight" massive dolomudstone facies with lesser brecciation and sulfide veining.
RC drilling at Cyclone continues with a focus on expanding the potential resource to the west, north, and northeast. Drilling at Storm over the past three seasons has been designed to inform an upcoming maiden mineral resource that is currently being constructed to CIM standards, with the release of the resource anticipated by year's end.

DRILL HOLE SR24-057 DETAILS
SR24-057 has returned exceptional copper grades in the far-eastern part of Cyclone defining new extensions to mineralization. The drill hole, and others around it, have the potential to significantly bolster the higher-grade resources within the far-eastern end of the Cyclone deposit.
Four zones of strong copper sulfide mineralization hosted within fractured dolomite of the Allen Bay Formation were intercepted in the hole.
The upper 1.5m-thick zone of semi-massive chalcocite yielded 13.5% Cu, potentially extending the upper lode of copper mineralization (Figure 3) to the northeast by approximately 100m.
The lower three zones contain strong (up to 3.7% Cu) vein- and fracture-style chalcocite mineralization with minor chalcopyrite bounded by wide zones of lower grade (
This intensity and character of copper mineralization in SR24-057 is characterized by significant lateral continuity within Cyclone. This, and the spatial relationship to the similarly mineralized drill hole SR24-031 (see below description), is a strong indicator for potential resource growth at what is now the eastern boundary of the deposit.
Figure 3: SW-NE Geological schematic section view through SR24-033 and SR24-057 showing the recent drill hole locations, recent assays, and the interpreted zones of copper mineralization.
DRILL HOLE SR24-031 DETAILS
Drilled to the north-east of the Cyclone Deposit, SR24-031 was designed to test for potential extensions of copper mineralization to the north of Cyclone, between the previously known limit of mineralization and 2023 drill hole SR23-55 (7.6m @ 1.0% Cu from 105.2m downhole, including 1.5m @ 2.0% Cu from 109.7m downhole).
Three zones of copper sulfide mineralization were intersected (Figure 4). A thick interval of mineralization is vertically zoned with a strong chalcocite-dominant inner core (between 96m and 121.9m downhole) with chalcopyrite margins. This zonation of copper minerals is typical of sediment-hosted copper systems. The 27.4m thick main zone of mineralization (averaging 1.1% Cu and 3.4g/t Ag from 96m downhole) contains a 4.6m thick zone of very strong chalcocite veining averaging 3.1% Cu and 7.7g/t Ag from 109.7m downhole.
The drill hole is located within a large and little-tested area to the north of Cyclone. The thickness and mineralogy of the copper mineralization in both SR24-031 and -057 have the potential to add significant resources to the north of the Cyclone Deposit.

SQUALL - NEW COPPER DISCOVERY
The recent EM surveys in the Storm area identified over 10 new, near-surface targets with a 200m loop survey (designed to screen from 0-200m depth) and a further five new deeper targets identified with the 400m loop survey (screening >200m depth).
The first of these anomalies to be drill tested during 2024 resulted in the discovery of the Gap Prospect and was shown to be related to high-grade copper sulfides (8m @ 5.3% Cu from 39m downhole in drill hole SR24-03).
DRILL HOLE SR24-108 DETAILS
RC drill hole SR24-108 was designed to test high-priority EM anomaly A3, which is visible in the data from both the 200m and 400m loop EM surveys (Figure 5). The coincident data suggested that the target may be located at a depth that crossed the designed detection ranges of the two surveys.
Drilling achieved the maximum achievable depth of 182.9m downhole, limited by available drill rods. The drill hole is interpreted to have hit the eastern edge of the anomaly and intersected strong visual copper sulfides in the last sampling interval of the hole (181.4 - 182.9m). The presence of copper has been confirmed with spot readings by portable XRF.
The interval contains strong visual chalcocite hosted within dense breccias and veins, typical of the copper deposits at Storm. The copper sulfides have been locally weathered to malachite and the host unit appears to be oxidizedoxidized.
Additional drill rods have been sourced to extend the drill hole to test the full extent of the mineralized interval. The new discovery has been named "Squall.'

Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Laboratory assays are required to determine the presence and grade of any contained mineralization within the reported visual intersections of copper sulfides. Portable XRF is used as an aid in the determination of mineral type and abundance during the geological logging process.

CIRRUS AND GAP DRILLING
Diamond drilling also continues on the largest of the southern EM anomalies, located at depth below the Cirrus Deposit and Gap Prospect (Anomaly A1 on Figure 5; see Figure 6 for interpreted cross section). The 1,300m x 500m flat-lying target is bounded by a series of large, steeply dipping EM plates (approx. 350m to top, conductance ~40-60 siemens, moderate ~40°-60° south-southwest dip, striking east-southeast) at its the northern edge where the anomaly is truncated at the Southern Graben Fault.
The sub-vertical conductors are interpreted to represent faults, potentially the plumbing system responsible for moving mineralizing fluids, that intersect the large, flat-lying conductance anomaly representing a permeable horizon. Both the faults and the flat horizon may now be mineralized by sulfides, causing the EM response. Similar EM anomalies drilled at Storm have been confirmed as copper sulfides, making this large anomaly a compelling drill target.

TORNADO - MLEM HIGHLIGHTS NEW CONDUCTORS
The MLEM surveys are currently underway in the Tornado and Blizzard areas, which are located approximately 10km along strike to the east of Storm. The geological setting is interpreted to be identical to that of Storm and contains numerous outcropping copper occurrences.
A number of EM anomalies have been identified in the preliminary data, some of which are coincident with geochemical copper anomalies and copper gossans at surface (Figure 7).
The fly RC drill rig has moved down to the area and once the final modeling and interpretation of the EM data is complete, will test the new high-priority EM targets. The drilling will also initially test a number of key geological features to gain a better understanding of the stratigraphy of the area and to aid in the interpretation of the MLEM data.

About the Storm Copper and Seal Zinc-Silver Projects, Nunavut
The Nunavut property consists of 173 contiguous mining claims covering an area of approximately 219,257 hectares on Somerset Island, Nunavut, Canada. The Storm Project comprises both the Storm Copper Project, a high-grade sediment-hosted copper discovery (intersections including 110m* @ 2.5% Cu from surface and 56.3* @ 3.1% Cu from 12.2m as well as the Seal Zinc Deposit (intersections including 14.4m* @ 10.6% Zn, 28.7g/t Ag from 51.8m and 22.3m* @ 23.0% Zn, 5.1g/t Ag from 101.5m). Additionally, there are numerous underexplored and undrilled targets within the 120-kilometre strike length of the mineralized trend, including the Tornado copper prospect where 10 grab samples yielded >1% Cu up to 32% Cu in gossans. The Nunavut property is now the subject of an 80/20 unincorporated joint venture with American West (see "Agreement with American West" below for more details).
Storm Discovery and Historical Work
High-grade copper mineralization was discovered at Storm in the mid-1990s by Cominco geologists conducting regional zinc exploration around their then-producing Polaris lead-zinc mine. A massive chalcocite boulder found in a tributary of the Aston River in 1996 was traced to impressive surface exposures of broken chalcocite mineralization for hundreds of metres of surface strike length at what became named the 2750N, 2200N, and 3500N zones. Subsequent seasons of prospecting, geophysics and over 9,000 m of drilling into the early 2000s confirmed a significant amount of copper mineralization below the surface exposures as well as making the blind discovery of the 4100N Zone, a large area of copper mineralization with no surface exposure.
Following the merger of Cominco with Teck in 2001 and the closure of the Polaris Mine, the Storm claims were allowed to lapse in 2007. Commander Resources staked the property in 2008 and flew a helicopter-borne VTEM survey in 2011 but conducted no additional drilling. Aston Bay subsequently entered into an earn-in agreement with Commander and consolidated 100% ownership in 2015. Commander retained a 0.875% Gross Overriding Royalty in the area of the original Storm claims which was purchased by Taurus Mining Royalty Fund L.P. in January 2024.
In 2016 Aston Bay entered into an earn-in agreement with BHP, who conducted a 2,000-station soil sampling program and drilled 1,951m of core in 12 diamond drill holes, yielding up to 16m* @ 3.1% Cu. BHP exited the agreement in 2017 and retains no residual interest in the project. Aston Bay conducted a property-wide airborne gravity gradiometry survey in 2017 and drilled 2,913m in nine core holes in the Storm area in 2018 yielding a best intercept of 1.5m* @ 4.4% Cu and 20.5m* @ 0.6% Cu.
Agreement with American West
On March 9, 2021, Aston Bay entered into an option agreement with American West Metals Limited (American West), and its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary Tornado Metals Ltd., pursuant to which American West was granted an option to earn an 80% undivided interest in the Project by spending a minimum of CAD$10 million on qualifying exploration expenditures. The parties amended and restated the Option Agreement as of February 27, 2023, to facilitate American West directly earning an interest in the Project alongside its Canadian subsidiary without any change to the overall commercial agreement between the parties. The expenditures were completed during 2023, and American West exercised the option. American West and Aston Bay have formed an 80/20 unincorporated joint venture.
Under the joint venture, Aston Bay shall have a free carried interest until American West has made a decision to mine upon completion of a bankable feasibility study, meaning American West will be solely responsible for funding the joint venture until such decision is made. After such decision is made, Aston Bay will be diluted in the event it does not elect to contribute its proportionate share and its interest in the Project will be converted into a 2% net smelter returns royalty if its interest is diluted to below 10%.
Recent Work
American West completed a fixed loop electromagnetic (FLEM) ground geophysical survey in 2021 that yielded several new subsurface conductive anomalies. A total of 1,534m were drilled in 10 diamond drill holes in the 2022 season, yielding several impressive near-surface intercepts including 41m* @ 4.1% Cu as well as 68m of sulfide mineralization associated with a deeper conductive anomaly.
In April 2022, results of beneficiation studies demonstrated that a mineralized intercept grading 4% Cu from the 4100N area could be upgraded to a 54% Cu direct ship product using standard sorting technology. Further beneficiation and metallurgical studies are ongoing.
In April 2023, American West embarked on a spring delineation drilling program using a helicopter-portable RC drill rig as well as conducting gravity and moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) ground geophysical programs.
The summer 2023 program conducted further delineation drilling of the near-surface high-grade copper zones to advance them toward maiden resource estimates in 2024. Deep diamond drilling during 2023 discovered high-grade copper sulfides up to 2.7% Cu at approximately 300m vertical depth (ST23-02), suggesting the potential for discovery of large-scale copper targets at depth.
Diamond drilling of new high-priority deep MLEM targets, RC delineation drilling for resource development and additional geophysical surveys are now underway in the 2024 program. Metallurgical studies and environmental baseline studies are ongoing, with bulk sampling for prefeasibility-level processing planned for summer 2024.
*Stated drill hole intersections are all core length, and true width is expected to be 60% to 100% of core length.
