[{"type":"text","content":"NorthWest Reports Near Surface Intercept of 44.0 Metres of 0.62% Copper and 0.42g/t Gold (1.01% CuEq) at Kwanika from 172 Metres\n\n\n\n TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NorthWest Copper Corp. (“NorthWest” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NWST) is pleased to announce continued positive assay results from the fifth drill hole of its 2025 program at the Company’s 100% owned Kwanika project in British Columbia. Drill hole K-25-278 intersected two broad zones of near-surface copper-gold mineralization, including a highlight intercept of 44 metres grading 0.62 % Cu, 0.42 g/t Au (1.01% copper equivalent\n \n 1\n \n , “CuEq”).\n \n\n Drill hole K-25-278 achieved two key objectives: it confirmed near-surface mineralization over significant widths within the current open-pit mineral resource and improved the confidence in both the position and thickness of the upper Central Zone in an area with limited historical drilling. Notably, the upper Central Zone was intersected closer to surface than expected, suggesting changes in geometry as it approaches higher-grade areas within the Pit Zone, which could indicate that these zones are potentially continuous.\n \n\n\n\n\n Drill Hole Highlights:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Pit Zone:\n \n\n 80 metres of 0.59% Cu, 0.16g/t Au (0.75% CuEq) from 47 metres, and\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n 44 metres of 0.62% Cu, 0.42g/t Au (1.01% CuEq) from 172 metres.\n \n\n\n\n\n Central Zone:\n \n\n 36 metres of 0.65 % Cu, 0.64 g/t Au (1.25% CuEq) from 222 metres, including:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 10 metres of 0.79 % Cu, 0.77 g/t Au (1.50% CuEq) from 222 metres, and\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 18 metres of 0.77 % Cu, 0.80 g/t Au (1.51% CuEq) from 238 metres.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n In the upper portion of the hole, two broad zones of near-surface mineralization were encountered within the current open-pit resource (see Table 1). The first zone (Zone 8) consists of a wide, copper-dominant interval of continuous mineralization, while the second zone (Zone 10) is narrower and carries higher gold relative to copper grades. Together, these intervals indicate an east-west lateral metal zonation trend that continues into the Central Zone intercept where gold to copper ratios approach 1:1. This pattern provides valuable geological insight that may support an improved understanding ...
