Provides Exploration Update on its Eagle and Sparrowhawk Porphyry Projects, Central B.C. and Stakes Newly Discovered Porphyry Copper ProspectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 23, 2019) - ArcWest Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AWX) (\"ArcWest\") is pleased to announce results of reconnaissance geological mapping and rock geochemical surveys on its Eagle and Sparrowhawk porphyry copper-gold (Cu-Au) projects, central British Columbia, as well as the acquisition of a newly discovered porphyry Cu prospect on northern Vancouver Island east of its Teeta Creek Cu-Au Project. Rock geochemical samples were select grabs from outcrops across the property. Highlights include:High grade Cu-Au lenses typical of alkalic porphyry systems were sampled over a mineralized strike length of 2.7 kilometers at the Eagle Project, including multiple grab samples over 1% Cu and 1 g/t Au.Two important Cu mineralized trends (DCA and Sparrowhawk) were delineated at the recently acquired Sparrowhawk Project in the Babine Porphyry Belt, indicating significant potential for buried porphyry systems in downdropped fault blocks on the west side of the property.ArcWest has acquired by staking a newly discovered porphyry Cu prospect on northern Vancouver Island east of its Teeta Creek Cu-Au Project near Port Alice.Note that grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of actual grades or styles of mineralization across the property.Eagle Cu-Au ProjectThe 2530 Hectare Eagle project is located in the prolific Quesnel Trough Cu-Au belt 55 kilometers west of Centerra Gold's Mount Milligan Au-Cu mine and 46 kilometers southeast of Serengeti Resources' Kwanika Cu-Au deposit, currently undergoing pre-feasibility work. Historical work at Eagle by Noranda and others outlined a 3 km long trend of copper mineralization near the southern margin of the Hogem batholith. Reconnaissance mapping and rock sampling completed in 2019 by Arcwest focused on delineating higher grade lenses over 2.7 km of the mineralized trend.
