(TSXV: AWX) (\"ArcWest\") is pleased to provide an update on exploration programs planned for the summer and fall of 2024, which include partner funded drilling on two ArcWest porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum (\"Cu-Au-Mo\") projects. HighlightsDrilling has commenced at the Oweegee Dome porphyry Cu-Au-Mo project, funded by partner Sanatana Resources (see Sanatana Resources press release dated June 26, 2024). Oweegee Dome is located 40 km east of Newmont's Brucejack gold mine and 45 km east of Seabridge Gold's KSM-Iron Cap porphyry Cu-Au project. According to Seabridge, KSM-Iron Cap is host to the world's largest undeveloped Au project by reserves and resources (https://www.seabridgegold.com/projects/kerr-sulphurets-mitchell).Drilling at ArcWest's Rip porphyry Cu-Mo project is scheduled for the late summer/fall of 2024, funded by partner Interra Copper (see Interra Copper press release dated April 16th, 2024). Rip is situated approximately 30 km northeast of Imperial Metals' past-producing Huckleberry mine and Surge Copper's advanced stage Ootsa and Berg projects.Additional mapping and sampling will be completed at ArcWest's Todd Creek project, funded by Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc.

This will include ground-truthing multiple geophysical anomalies delineated during the 2023 3D IP survey in addition to completing detailed mapping/sampling in the vicinity of newly discovered high grade Cu-Au occurrences, including a breccia in the upper Ice Creek area which returned assays up to 262 g/t Au and 2.46% Cu. Work in 2024 is designed to set the stage for a significant drill program in 2025.Tyler Ruks, President and CEO of ArcWest commented, \"Partner funded drilling on two ArcWest porphyry Cu projects is scheduled for the 2024 field season.
