NorthWest Copper Reports Long Intercepts Within the Northern Extension of the Kwanika Deposit, Including 364.20 Metres at 0.27% CuEq

[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, Oct. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NorthWest Copper (“NorthWest” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: NWST) (OTCQX: NWCCF) is pleased to announce results from four holes drilled in the northern lobe of the Kwanika Deposit’s Central Zone1 (Figures 1 and 2). These holes returned long intercepts of copper and gold mineralization. Highlights include: K-22-237: 364.20 metres2 of 0.27% CuEq3 from 27.80 to 392.00 metres including: 24.55 metres of 0.86% CuEq from 229.30 to 253.85 metres K-22-238: 167.85 metres of 0.32% CuEq from 33.55 to 201.40 metres “These holes confirm that strong copper and gold mineralization continue in the northern portion of Kwanika Central Zone,” said President and CEO Peter Bell. “These holes demonstrate that the Kwanika system contains a cluster of deposits over three kilometers, from South Zone to these recent holes in the north of the Kwanika Central Zone. Further drilling results are expected from the South Zone at Kwanika as well as our other projects in the coming weeks.” Drill Results Discussion We have now released results from 20 of the 30 drill holes competed at Kwanika in 2022. We anticipate that we will continue to publish results from the 2022 program over the remainder of the year Diamond drill holes K-22-237, 238, and 246 were designed to target structurally controlled higher-grade mineralization in the northern portion of the Central Zone (Figure 2).  They complement previously released drill holes K-22-234, 235, 236, 239, 241, 243, 244, and 2454. The results of all of these holes collectively demonstrate continuity of grade within the currently defined resource.1 Including the previously reported holes, the northern portion of the Central Zone was drilled over approximately 450 metres in strike length and results demonstrate that mineralization continues to the north of the conceptual open pit5 (Figure 2).  All three holes in this release hit mineralization that is relatively shallow with overburden cover ranging from 27.80 to 43.50 metres downhole depth. Results from the drilling in the northern extent of the conceptual open pit will also help constrain our structural and geological models and help focus future exploration programs.   K-22-237 has the longest intercept with 364.20 metres of 0.27% CuEq (Figure 3). This intersection is on the same section as K-22-236 that wa...
