Aston Bay Holdings and American West Metals Begin Drilling at Storm Project

Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. and American West Metals have initiated preparations for drilling at the Storm Copper Project in Nunavut, Canada. The 2025 drill program will target several high-priority exploration zones. Key targets include Cirrus Deeps, Cyclone Deeps, and the Tornado/Blizzard area, with Cirrus Deeps being the first focus of diamond drilling.

A comprehensive Mobile Magneto-Telluric (MobileMT) survey is planned for early this season to aid in target identification, spanning the 110km copper horizon of the Storm area. The survey's results will pinpoint new drilling locations.

The project is managed jointly through a 20/80 partnership between Aston Bay and American West, with Aston Bay holding a free carried interest until a mining decision post-feasibility study. The program also includes resource expansion efforts near existing Mineral Resource Estimates.
