[{"type":"text","content":"Aston Bay Announces Large Stratigraphic Conductors Delineated by MobileMT and Additional Staking at the Epworth Project, Nunavut, Canada All components in place for potential Central African-style copper mineralizationHighlightsSeveral large, near-surface conductors representing potentially reductive permeable stratigraphy favourable to host sediment-hosted copper mineralization delineated by airborne MobileMT geophysical surveyNew sampling verifies historical occurrences, including Payback Showing (up to 61.2% copper (\"Cu\") with 5,600 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") silver (\"Ag\")) and CBC Showing (up to 9.9% Cu, 1.9% lead (\"Pb\"), 3.5 g/t gold (\"Au\") and 431 g/t Ag)Multiple new copper, zinc and lead occurrences were discovered across the property in 2024 sampling, along with locally anomalous gold, silver and cobaltAdditional mineral claims staked on prospective ground expanding claim block by 11,608 hectares (\"ha\") to a total of 102,108 ha (1,002 square kilometres (\"km2)) TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSXV:BAY)(OTCQB:ATBHF) (\"Aston Bay\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report on sampling, mapping and geophysical programs at the Epworth Project (\"Epworth\" or the \"Project\") in Nunavut.Thomas Ullrich, Chief Executive Officer of Aston Bay, commented:\"Analysis of the 2024 exploration programs at Epworth is delivering exciting results pointing to the potential for large-scale copper mineralization at the property.\"The surface sampling programs have confirmed previous work where large boulders yielding up to 61.2% copper with 5,600 g/t silver were found at the surface along with several other zones of high-grade metal mineralization. With significant lead, zinc, gold and anomalous cobalt in several newly discovered areas on this large property, we have only scratched the surface.\"These are excellent results, but with mineralization typically confined to structurally controlled fracture filling (veins), building significant tonnage of mineralized material can be challenging. The widespread nature of the metal mineralization, however, points to the potential for large-scale stratigraphically-controlled mineralization at depth - this is the sediment-hosted copper deposit model used to find the large copper deposits of Central Africa and successfully used at our other project, Storm...
