## Minestarters Atlas summary

NorthWest Copper announced positive drill results from three holes at its Kwanika property in British Columbia, highlighted by a near-surface intercept of 58 metres grading 0.96% copper and 1.04 g/t gold \(1.92% CuEq\) in hole K-25-275. The program successfully expanded and infilled higher-grade zones within the existing mineral resource, with the aim of supporting an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment. All technical aspects were reviewed by a Qualified Person and comprehensive QA/QC was disclosed.

Reasoning: NorthWest Copper reported strong drill results from its Kwanika property, with several significant copper-gold equivalent intercepts that expand known high-grade zones and confirm continuity. These results are expected to enhance the economics of a future PEA and are supported by robust QA/QC protocols.

- Positive factor: Drill results exceeded expectations, expanding and defining higher-grade zones.

- Positive factor: Confirmed continuity of mineralization at shallow depths.

- Positive factor: Data supports an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment \(PEA\) with potential for a high-grade starter pit.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures disclosed, including certified lab and QP sign-off.

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. 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.
