Aston Bay Identifies New Copper Target at Storm Project

Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. has identified a promising new copper target at its Storm Project in Nunavut, Canada. The Midway Prospect, 5km west of the Storm Mineral Resource Estimate, is characterized by more than 58 meters of visual copper sulfides in historical drill hole AB18-04. This significant find, yet to be sampled and assayed, underscores the untapped potential of the region.

The 2025 exploration program, led by joint venture partner American West Metals, aims to test copper targets along a 20-km stretch of the copper-mineralized belt, which includes Midway, Storm, and Tornado prospects. Geophysical surveys such as Mobile Magneto-Telluric and reinterpreted historical electromagnetic data have identified large-scale targets for potential copper mineralization.

Aston Bay plans a comprehensive geophysical exploration effort, including a helicopter-borne survey to identify deeper deposits. The program will also include follow-up drilling on discoveries made in 2024, reinforcing Aston Bay's commitment to maximizing the Storm Project's mineral potential.
