[{"type":"text","content":"Aston Bay and American West Metals Announce New Copper Intersections at the Storm Project, Nunavut, Canada Assays for RC drilling confirm thick, near-surface intervals of high-grade, with deeper diamond drilling continuing to highlight a widespread copper systemHighlights:Deep diamond drilling has intersected thick intervals of visual copper sulphides. Nine diamond drill holes (for a total of 2,295 metres (\"m\")) are now complete, including the deep hole at Cirrus, with further thick intervals of visual copper sulphides intersected, including:ST25-04, drilled below and along strike of the near-surface Cirrus Deposit, has intersected approximately 57m combined total of visual sediment-hosted copper mineralizationThe drill hole has also provided important stratigraphic information that highlights the large-scale mineralization potential at StormAssays confirm thick, near-surface copper intersections in Reverse-Circulation (\"RC\") drilling. Assays from the first 10 RC drill holes completed include:12.2m @ 1.9% copper (\"Cu\"), 77 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") silver (\"Ag\") from 19.8m downhole, including;4.6m @ 3.2% Cu, 129.0g/t Ag from 27.4m and 1.5m @ 2.9% Cu, 115.0 g/t Ag from 30.4m in SR25-005 at Corona7.6m @ 1.7% Cu, 3.2g/t Ag from 25.9m downhole, including;1.5m @ 2.9% Cu, 2.0g/t Ag from 27.4m and 1.5m @ 2.1% Cu, 2.0g/t Ag from 29.0m in SR25-006 at Corona4.6m @ 1.1% Cu, 1.3g/t Ag from 25.9m downhole in SR25-007 at Corona7.6m @ 1.1% Cu, 2.2g/t Ag from 73.2m downhole in SR25-010 at The Gap - Assays still pending between 128.0m and 149m downhole.The initial RC drill holes were completed at the Corona, Thunder, Lightning Ridge Deposits and The Gap Prospect: strong drilling results support excellent resource upgrade and expansion potential TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2025 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd.
