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, today provided an update on an exploration program conducted by American West Metals Limited at the Storm Copper Project in Nunavut. According to the update, assay results from the latest batch of drill holes continue to show the expansion and upgrade potential of the Cyclone Deposit. They also confirm very thick and high-grade intersections of copper within and outside of currently known mineralization zones.
Drill hole SR24-093 intersected 53m of strong chalcolite mineralization (53.3m @ 3.9% Cu) from 86.9m downhole with an intensely mineralized zone and semi-massive sulfide zone between 86.9m and 109.7m downhole averaging8.5% Cu over 22.9m. Drill holes SR24-045 and SR24-070 intersected mineralization consisting of zones of intense vein- and fracture-style copper sulfide mineralization with thick intervals over 3% Cu.
“It is exciting to hit such a long interval of high-grade copper outside of the previously known zone of mineralization as we work toward calculation of a maiden resource estimate this fall. This suggests there is more to be found, and it bodes well for additional discoveries and expansion of the known existing mineralization with next year’s campaign,” said Thomas Ullrich, CEO of Aston Bay.

The company is currently exploring the Storm Project property and Cu-Ag-Zn-Co Epworth property in Nunavut, as well as the high-grade Buckingham Gold Vein and critical metals prospects in central Virginia. The company is also in advanced stages of negotiation on other lands with high-grade copper potential in North America. The company and its joint venture partners, American West Metals Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tornado Metals Ltd. (collectively, “American West”), formed a 20/80 unincorporated joint venture in respect of the Storm Project property, which hosts the Storm Copper Project and the Seal Zinc Deposit.
