It is very encouraging to see geophysics identify new targets at Storm," stated Thomas Ullrich, CEO of Aston Bay. "Moving Loop EM anomalies have demonstrated a very strong correlation with high-grade copper mineralization, so these are high-priority drill targets. This initial phase of geophysics is designed to be effective in the shallow subsurface, less than 200 metres depth, well within reach of the RC drill rigs on site. The ongoing drilling will aim to test these targets in the coming weeks and over the summer program.
"The upcoming deep-penetrating, wider-spaced MLEM survey is designed to explore the Storm central graben area below the known mineralization with a targeted search space of 200-500m depth. This opens a whole new space for potential discovery. In the 2024 season we intersected copper mineralization at these depths with the same mineralogy as seen at the surface. We anticipate these deeper-looking surveys will enhance our drill targeting for potentially thicker and more laterally extensive zones of mineralization in this very prospective but underexplored zone."
