Aston Bay and American West Metals Discover New Copper Zones at Storm Copper Project

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 21, 2024 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSXV:BAY)(OTCQB:ATBHF) announced new visual results from drilling at the Storm Copper Project in Nunavut, operated by American West Metals Limited. This year’s Reverse Circulation drilling has uncovered significant new zones of copper mineralization, including drill hole SR24-02 intersecting 36.6 meters of copper sulfides, and SR24-03 intersecting 47.2 meters, with a 10-meter interval of strong copper sulfides.

Early drilling success indicates substantial potential for rapid project expansion. Targets were identified using Moving Loop Electromagnetic surveys, which have effectively pinpointed copper mineralization. Chief Executive Officer Thomas Ullrich expressed optimism about continuing discoveries at Storm, with several geophysical anomalies yet to be tested.

Drilling continues around the clock with samples already at the laboratory for analysis. The ongoing Phase 1 MLEM survey has defined over 10 new high-priority drilling targets. Deeper exploration targets will be assessed in upcoming phases, aiming to extend copper mineralization zones and explore untested structures between key prospects.
