# Aston Bay and American West Metals Intersect Copper Mineralization Outside of Proposed Pit Designs at the Storm Project, Nunavut, Canada Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/aston-bay-and-american-west-metals-intersect-copper-mineralization-outside-of-pr--261e0bc8-4c2a-4d68-98db-6648aadb125e Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/BAY/news/8180092137137095/aston-bay-and-american-west-metals-intersect-copper-mineralization-outside-of-pr Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-10-20T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. - Ticker: BAY - Exchange: TSX - Region: Nunavut, Canada - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Silver, Zinc - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-13 14:59:34 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Aston Bay and American West Metals announced high-grade copper drill results from the Storm Project in Nunavut, Canada, with assays up to 27.3% copper. Key intercepts from diamond drilling at the Cyclone Deposit, including 12.1m @ 5.6% Cu and 18.2m @ 1.1% Cu, extended mineralization outside of current pit designs. Reverse Circulation drilling also confirmed thick copper intervals, supporting resource upgrade and expansion efforts as the project advances towards a Pre-Feasibility Study. Reasoning: The drilling at the Storm Project intersected significant high-grade copper mineralization, including a bonanza intercept of 0.5m @ 27.3% Cu, extending the known mineralization beyond current pit designs and providing strong support for future resource upgrades and expansion. - Positive factor: High-grade copper intercepts up to 27.3% - Positive factor: Thick intercepts, including 12.1m @ 5.6% Cu and 18.2m @ 1.1% Cu - Positive factor: Extension of mineralization outside of current pit designs - Positive factor: Strong support for resource expansion and upgrade - Positive factor: Interpreted true widths are close to downhole widths - Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC disclosure with accredited lab and QP sign-off - Positive factor: Transparent compositing with stated cut-off grade Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
