Ameriwest Advances Bornite Copper Project with Re-Logging Initiative

Ameriwest Critical Metals Inc. is advancing its Bornite copper-gold-silver project in Oregon through a systematic re-assessment of historical drill core. Approximately 30 pallets of preserved core, totaling 41,702 feet, have been moved to APEX Geoscience Ltd.'s facility in Reno, Nevada. By re-logging and re-assaying key sections, the company aims to refine its geological model, reduce early-stage drilling costs, and accelerate the path to a modern resource estimate compliant with NI 43-101 standards.

Ameriwest plans to implement a multi-element assay approach, going beyond historical assays of copper, gold, and silver. This will better characterize the mineralized system and support future resource definition. APEX has identified several priority drill holes for re-assessment to strengthen geological interpretations. The re-logging efforts support Ameriwest's strategy to modernize its database and plan further drilling efficiently.
