Aston Bay Holdings (TSXV: BAY) is looking to recapture the excitement it saw in August 2023 with its early exploration data, announcing this morning that its Storm Copper Project, which has been optioned to American West Metals, will be subjected to a large drill program this spring.
The program, which is to be fully funded and operated by American West, will see 22,000 metres of reverse circulation and diamond drilling conducted at Storm Copper. The program, focused on resource expansion and definition, is aiming to test extensions of the mineralized zone, as well as test new high grade copper zones.
Electromagnetic surveys are also planned for the Blizzard, Tornado, and Tempest prospect areas. Those areas are said to be part of a prospective copper belt that is claimed as being over 100 kilometres long.

“Our partner American West is fully financed and currently coordinating mobilization in order to conduct the 2024 resource expansion and exploration program. Geophysics and 22,000m of planned drilling will focus on expanding the known areas of near-surface high-grade copper mineralization at several prospects at Storm, as well as continuing to explore for new targets at depth and along strike over the almost 100-kilometre prospective trend for sediment-hosted copper mineralization,” commented Thomas Ullrich, CEO of Aston Bay.
