Headline results include a 57m parcel grading 2.5 per cent copper from 8m embracing a 1m intercept running an eye-catching 21.9 per cent copper from 14m downhole.
Shares in American West Metals surged more than 80 per cent in intraday trading following the delivery of a robust set of maiden assay results from diamond drilling at its Storm project in Canada. The results include 41m at 4.18 per cent copper from 38m with a higher grade 15m parcel going 10.05 per cent from 47m.
American West Metals has stretched the shallow mineralisation footprint at its Storm project in Canada after two holes plunged across a highly prospective zone known as “2750N” intersected broad intervals of visual copper. The explorer says its recent campaign has extended the strike length of the area's copper to more than 200m.
American West Metals' share price jumped 40 per cent in opening trades after news the explorer had made a major new copper discovery at its Storm project on Somerset Island in Nunavut in Canada. The company says recent drilling intersected more than 68m of stratiform copper sulphide mineralisation that is indicative of a major system at depth.
Diamond drilling at American West Metals' Storm copper project in Canada continues to unearth more visual hits, with four recent holes plunged across a highly prospective area known as 2750N extending the zone's shallow mineralisation footprint. The company says the first bore of its latest campaign intersected more than 74m of visual mineralisation, including a 15.3m package of breccia and massive copper sulphide material stretching across several intervals.
American West Metals could be onto a shallow, high-grade copper at its Storm project in Canada after unveiling strong visual mineralisation from the company's first two diamond holes at the operation. The explorer launched the probe at a highly prospective area known as “2750N” where historical intercepts include 110m at 2.45 per cent copper from surface and 3.07 per cent copper from 12.2m.
Perth-based American West Metals has kicked off a maiden drilling program at its Storm project on Somerset Island in Nunavut, Canada, where a number of high-grade copper targets will be tested. The campaign follows up on a raft of solid historical hits including 110m at 2.45 per cent copper from surface and 56.3m grading 3.07 per cent copper from 12.2m.
ASX-listed American West Metals could be riding a winner after drilling at its West Desert project in Utah, USA, delivered a solid set of copper, gold, zinc and silver-laced assays that continue to illustrate the project's potential scale. The company is in the midst of a resource upgrade and says the significant mineralisation intersected in its latest play bodes well for its campaign.
American West Metals is hunting down a suite of exploration targets as part of a maiden drill program at its Storm copper project on Somerset Island in Nunavut, Canada. The campaign could start as early as next month and will focus on its highly prospective zone 2750N that previously delivered a set of solid intercepts, including 110m at 2.45 per cent copper from surface and 3.07 per cent copper from 12.2m.
ASX-listed American West Metals shares surged more than 70 per cent in intraday trading at the highest volume this year on the back of the company's best assay results at its West Desert project in Utah, USA. Assay analysis of the 549.83m hole showed more than 105m of high-grade zinc and copper intersected within four major intervals, in addition to high grades of indium and silver.
American West Metals says early findings from the first exploration drill hole completed at its fully owned West Desert project in Utah, United States show the possibility of a significant extension of the site's known deposit. Geological logging and portable X-ray fluorescence results indicate broad intervals with elevated levels of zinc, copper and silver punctuated by high-grade zinc and copper zones.
Multi-metal explorer American West Metals says the latest assays from a diamond probe of its West Desert project in Utah have confirmed the presence of near-surface extensions of zinc, copper, gold and indium mineralisation that has emphasised the operation's open-pit mining potential. According to the company, the results add another win to a remarkable campaign that continues to highlight the venture's quality and scale.
The final chapter of resource definition and expansion drilling at American West Metals' West Desert project in Utah has ended with a bang after the latest two holes sunk at the venture delivered strong visual copper, zinc and molybdenum mineralisation. The venture believes its latest phase of drilling caps an impressive campaign that has underlined the quality and scale of the operation.
American West Metals has hit a cocktail of mixed metals in the USA with its very first diamond hole at the company's West Desert project in Utah. Notably, new copper and molybdenum results have occurred outside the existing resource and the company says the drill program has confirmed the "exceptional quality" and "significant volume" of the mineralisation. Wide intercepts of decent grade zinc were also encountered and indium was present too.
American West Metals says the results of a recent ore sorting program using material from its high-grade Storm copper project in Canada have delivered extraordinary results that could be a “game changer” for the project's development. The company said test work using a full-scale ore sorter has generated a direct shipping ore product with a copper grade of 53.9 per cent free of impurities.
American West Metals continues to put runs on the board after it stumped up a whopping 157-metre intercept of visual zinc and copper massive sulphide mineralisation from its fourth diamond drill hole at its West Desert project in Utah. The company says the rods are still spinning in its quest to expose the full extent of the underexplored resource.
American West Metals continues to deliver at its West Desert project in Utah after its third diamond drill hole intersected over 100 metres of visual zinc and copper mineralisation from just 20m downhole. According to the company, the initial results appear to confirm the continuity of shallow base metals in the first two holes and support the projects open pit mining potential.

American West Metals could have a growing resource on its hands after racking up over 330 metres of visual zinc and copper mineralisation outside the historical resource zone at its West Desert project in Utah.
ASX-listed American West Metals has made a promising start to its US metals hunt after spotting extensive visual zinc and copper mineralisation in the first diamond hole at its West Desert project in Utah. The discovery forms part of an inaugural 7,500 metre probe at the project aimed at testing the continuity of the high-grade mineralisation.
American West Metals has launched a maiden drilling campaign at its West Desert zinc-copper-indium deposit in Utah, USA. The program is aimed at expanding the known historic mineralisation by drill testing the continuity of a suite of high-grade zinc and copper hot spots. The company says the results will be fed into a mineral resource estimate and used to assess the potential of an open pit mining operation.
