Highlights:
- The 2025 drill program is set to begin. A pipeline of large-scale exploration targets prioritized for drilling includes:
- Cirrus Deeps – high-priority EM target below the Cirrus Deposit with a stratigraphic setting similar to Cyclone will be the first target to be tested with diamond drilling
- Cyclone Deeps – potential continuation of the large Cyclone Deposit at depth with reconnaissance drill intercepts such as 10 metres (“m”) @ 1.2% copper (“Cu”) from 311m (including 0.5m @ 3.7% Cu from 315.5m), ready for follow-up with diamond drilling
- Resource Expansion – several discoveries near the footprint of the Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) will be followed up, including the Gap Prospect, which contains a strong EM anomaly confirmed with drilling that returned 20m @ 2.3% Cu from 28m, and the Squall and Hailstorm Prospects
- Tornado/Blizzard – located 5km east of the Storm copper deposits, the area hosts a 3.2km x 1.5km geochemical copper anomaly and two large electromagnetic (“EM”) plates yet to be drilled
- Midway – discovered by a single historical drill hole that intersected a total of 58m of visual copper sulfide, located approximately 5km to the west of the Storm MRE area, to be drilled
- Geophysics to generate new targets. An extensive airborne Mobile Magneto-Telluric (“MobileMT”) survey is planned early in the season for the Storm MRE area and other areas of interest along the 110km prospective copper horizon, with results expected to inform drill targeting and prioritization this season.
Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Laboratory assays are required to determine the presence and grade of any contained mineralization within the reported visual intersections of copper sulfides. Portable XRF is used as an aid in the determination of mineral type and abundance during the geological logging process.
Thomas Ullrich, Chief Executive Officer of Aston Bay, commented:
“We are excited to begin another field season at Storm. The reverse circulation drill rig will work on adding to the resource and target near-surface exploration targets, while the diamond drill rig will focus on the deeper exploratory holes.
“In addition to the compelling targets generated in previous geophysical programs, we are very excited to be flying a comprehensive MobileMT survey at Storm. This is the same survey that has successfully delineated large conductive targets at our Epworth property. The significant contrast in the conductive properties of the mineralized rock versus the host rock at Storm is ideal for MobileMT, and its utilization of natural-source energy from within the Earth should help define deeper targets that may have eluded previous methods. These new targets will be ready for drilling this season.
“Investors can also look forward to the completion of a Preliminary Economic Analysis for the near-surface…
