Aston Bay and American West Metals Announce Geophysical Program Set to Begin at the Storm Copper Project, Canada
Tuesday, 26 March 2024 07:00 AM
Highlights

• Field crew have arrived at Storm with final preparations underway for the commencement of the spring program
• 2024 field work is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks with commencement of detailed, high-powered surface electromagnetic (EM) surveys, with Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling also planned to begin shortly
• Moving Loop EM (MLEM) will initially be deployed around the areas of the existing Storm copper mineralization to identify targets both along strike in the near-surface (<200 metres ("m") depth) as well as deeper predicted targets (up to 500m depth) with over 50 line-kilometres ("km") initially planned
• MLEM surveys will then focus on regional exploration with over 40 line-km planned to screen the regional Blizzard, Tornado and Tempest Prospects
• Multiple strong indicators of potential copper mineralization have already been identified at the regional targets - including extensive gossans and chalcocite boulders with grades up to 32% copper and 30% zinc - making these areas compelling exploration targets
• Excellent potential for geophysics to deliver game-changing results both in the near-surface and at depth given the excellent correlation of EM targets with high-grade copper sulfides in previous drilling
