[{"type":"text","content":"Aston Bay and American West Metals Announce Large-Scale Copper Targets at Depth Take Shape at the Storm Project, Nunavut, CanadaDiamond drilling intersects new zones of copper at depth as the deep search EM survey identifies a 1,300m x 500m anomaly for drill testingHIGHLIGHTS100% hit rate continues for the deep diamond drilling with thick intervals of visual copper mineralization intersected at depth below the known near-surface copper depositsThe drilling confirms the large lateral extent of the Storm copper system at depth - now intersected over 10 square kilometres - and highlights the potential of Storm to host large-scale stratigraphic and structurally hosted high-grade copper deposits similar to those in the Central African CopperbeltDrill hole ST24-01 has intersected a combined total of 21.3 metres (\"m\") of visual copper mineralization , which includes:6.37m of visual copper sulfide from 293.7m downhole, and2.43m of abundant visual copper sulfide from 302m downhole12.5m of visual copper sulfide from 311m downhole, including4.6m of abundant visual native copper and copper sulfides from 315.4m downholeDrill hole ST24-02 has intersected a combined total of 99.2m of visual copper sulfide , which includes highlights:1.1m of abundant visual copper sulfide from 195.5m downhole, and1.3m of abundant visual copper sulfide from 204m downhole, and17.1m of moderate to abundant visual copper sulfide from 404.3m downholeThe deep search phase of the Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) survey has defined a 1,300m x 500m anomaly at depth below the Cirrus Deposit and The Gap Prospect, with target drilling now underwayVisual 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 / August 22, 2024 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd.
