American West Metals Limited has officially initiated an extensive 2025 exploration campaign at its Storm Copper Project on Somerset Island in Nunavut, Canada. The company’s operations have advanced from camp establishment and logistical preparations to the commencement of geophysics and drilling programs. The 2025 program combines both diamond and reverse circulation drilling techniques, with plans to rigorously test several large-scale targets that include Cirrus Deeps, Cyclone Deeps, resource expansion prospects near the current Mineral Resource Estimate including the Gap, Squall, and Hailstorm areas, as well as additional targets at the Tornado/Blizzard and Midway areas. In early drilling activities, the first diamond drill hole at Cirrus Deeps (ST24-03) has been drilled to 414 meters, with a planned depth of up to 700 meters. Initial intersections have noted zones of fracturing and presence of copper sulphides, indicating potential for open structural conduits that enhance permeability and mineralisation. At Cyclone Deeps, a noteworthy intersection reported as 10 meters at 1.2% copper – including a higher-grade segment of 0.5 meter at 3.7% copper – highlights the prospect of significant resource growth beneath known deposits. Reverse circulation drilling is set to follow across near-surface targets, with high-priority tests planned on targets such as Thunder, Lightning Ridge, and the Corona Deposit, using intervals where previous drill results have returned up to 20 meters at 2.3% copper alongside silver credits. The exploration initiative is further supported by a forthcoming airborne Mobile Magneto-Telluric (MMT) survey intended to generate new deep targets and refine drill priorities along an approximately 110 km copper horizon. Coupled with the rigorous geological logging, detailed technical measurements, and accompanying share purchase plan available exclusively to eligible shareholders, the campaign is designed to build on positive visual and assay results while confirming the stacked copper horizon model. Market sentiment is mixed among market participants. On the bullish side, the broad pipeline of deep, high-grade exploration targets, combined with promising early drill results and advanced geophysical surveys, suggests significant upside potential for resource expansion and a robust drilling campaign in a Tier 1 jurisdiction. Conversely, the bearish view points to the inherent uncertainties in early-stage exploration and the technical risks associated with deep drilling in challenging Arctic conditions, as well as the forward-looking uncertainties noted by the company. Overall, the progress at Storm Copper Project establishes a dynamic yet cautious outlook for American West Metals Limited as it enters a critical phase of exploration and development.
