(October 11, 2023) American West Metals Limited (American West or the Company) (ASX: AW1 | OTCQB: AWMLF) is pleased to report the latest assay results for the 2023 drilling program at the Storm Copper Project (Storm or the Project) on Somerset Island, Nunavut, Canada.
Dave O’Neill, Managing Director of American West Metals commented:
“This year’s drilling program continues to impress with high-grade, near-surface copper mineralisation now confirmed at the Lightning Ridge Prospect and 2200N Zones at the Storm Project.
“The assay results for Lightning Ridge have revealed new thick, high-grade copper zones that have potential to add significant volumes of potentially economic near-surface mineralisation at Storm.
“Our first ever drilling at the 2200N Zone has also confirmed high copper grades and significant resource potential across 450m of known strike. The 2200N Zone remains open at depth and laterally along the extensive fault network.
“The latest results are an excellent outcome as we continue to demonstrate the potential for a camp scale copper mining opportunity within the Storm Project.
“We look forward to reporting further news from Storm, including more drill hole results in the coming weeks.
