(TSXV:BAY)(OTCQB:ATBHF) (\"Aston Bay\" or the \"Company\") reports initial assay results confirm thick intervals of copper mineralization from its ongoing delineation drilling program at the Storm Copper Project (\"Storm\" or the \"Project\") on Somerset Island, Nunavut, Canada. This is the second drilling program for American West Metals Limited (\"American West\"), who are the project operator, since entering an option agreement with Aston Bay in March 2021.\"Impressive results continue to come in from the ongoing exploration conducted by our partner American West Metals at Storm,\" stated Thomas Ullrich, CEO of Aston Bay.\"These assay results from the first reverse circulation drill hole of the season confirm the presence of significant copper mineralization, exceeding the initial visual estimates. This increases our confidence in both the core logging and our assumptions on the continuity of the mineralization at the 4100N Zone.\"We look forward to continuing good news from the results of the ongoing drilling, as well as from the interpretation of the recently completed geophysical programs now being processed.\"Assay results have been received for drill hole SR23-01, the first hole of the current program, and confirm the presence of thick intervals of near-surface copper sulfides. The assays indicate that the mineralized intervals ...
