Aston Bay (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF), a mineral exploration company exploring for high-grade critical and precious metal deposits in Nunavut, Canada, and Virginia, USA, and American West Metals Limited today provided an update on drilling activities at the Storm Copper Project on Somerset Island, Nunavut. According to the update, the resource delineation program is on track with multiple high-grade copper intervals confirmed by assays at the Cyclone and Chinook Deposits.
Additionally, the drill program continues to achieve milestones; a total of 100 Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drill holes and 12 diamond drill holes totaling over 15,500 meters have been completed at Storm during 2024, rapidly advancing the program toward the planned 20,000 meters. The update also noted that RC drilling has commenced at the under-explored Tempest Prospect.
“It is encouraging once again to report excellent results from the ongoing drilling at Storm. The assays match the visual estimates previously reported by the on-site geologists, confirming excellent continuity of mineralization within the known zones as well as expanding those zones with step-out intercepts,” said Thomas Ullrich, CEO of Aston Bay.
