  • Four additional diamond drill holes completed at the high-grade Storm Copper Project, Canada
  • All intersections of copper sulphides are within 100m from surface, indicating a significant volume of shallow mineralisation
  • Latest drill holes have intersected wide intervals of visual copper mineralisation, including;
    • ST22-03 has intersected 74.6m of mineralisation including 15.13m of breccia and massive copper sulphides over multiple intervals
    • ST22-04 has intersected 43.7m of mineralisation including 24.5m of breccia and massive copper sulphides over multiple intervals
    • ST22-05 has intersected 65m of mineralisation including 25.2m of breccia and massive copper sulphides over multiple intervals

Dave O’Neill, Managing Director of American West Metals commented:

“The drilling at the 2750N Zone continues to deliver spectacular results. We are looking for continuity and volume for a potential resource and that’s exactly what we are seeing.

“The results show strong continuity between the thick historical copper intersections at the 2750N Zone where we are aiming to define a shallow copper resource that can support a low-footprint direct shipping ore (DSO) mining proposal.

“Drilling at Storm is continuing on the 2750N Zone resource definition program and will shortly start on the exploration phase of the current campaign. This will test targets that are look alikes for the 2750N Zone as well as deeper targets that may represent the potential source of the near surface mineralisation.

“We look forward to reporting more news as drilling progresses.”
