[{"type":"text","content":"Aston Bay and American West Metals Announce 13% Copper in Assays at the Cyclone Deposit and a New Copper Discovery at the Storm Project, Nunavut, CanadaTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2024 / Drilling HighlightsDrilling surpasses 20,000 metres (\"m\") with 128 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes and 14 diamond drill holes now completed in 2024 at Storm and TempestDrilling continues 24/7The resource potential of the Cyclone Deposit is further highlighted with exceptional high-grade copper intervals confirmed by assays including:Drill hole SR24-057 has intersected:1.5m @ 13.5% copper (\"Cu\"), 23g/t silver (\"Ag\") from 54.9m downhole, and,3.1m @ 2.0% Cu, 8.0 g/t Ag from 85.3m downhole, and,1.5m @ 1.8% Cu, 3.0g/t Ag from 109.7m downholeDrill hole SR24-035 has intersected:3.1m @ 3.9% Cu, 10.5g/t Ag from 57.9m downhole, including,1.5m @ 5.9% Cu, 16.0g/t Ag from 57.9m downhole, and,4.6m @ 1.4% Cu, 5.0g/t Ag from 71.6m downhole, including,1.5m @ 3.1% Cu, 11.0g/t Ag from 71.6m downholeDrill hole SR24-031, located outside of the known zone of mineralization, has intersected:27.4m @ 1.1% Cu, 3.5g/t Ag from 96m downhole, including,4.6m @ 3.1% Cu, 7.7g/t Ag from 109.7m downholeExploration drilling and Moving Loop Electromagnetics (MLEM)Drilling of an MLEM anomaly in an untested area south of the Thunder Prospect has intersected strong visual copper sulfides from approximately 181.4m downhole - this new discovery is named ‘Squall'The deep-searching 400m loop MLEM survey is currently underway at Tornado where it has identified two EM anomalies spatially coincident with outcropping copperDrilling of the 1,300m x 500m EM anomaly below the Cirrus Deposit is in progress with the diamond hole planned to a depth of 600mVisual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Laboratory assays are required to determine the presence and grade of any contained mineralization within the reported visual intersections of copper sulfides. Portable XRF is used as an aid in the determination of mineral type and abundance during the geological logging process.TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2024 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd.
