Two More Exceptional Discoveries V.BAY Diamond drill hole ST23-03 has discovered a new near-surface zone of mineralization and a deeper sediment hosted copper system in an underexplored area of the Storm Project
ST23-03 intersected two zones of visual copper sulfide mineralization:
76m of visual heavily mineralized breccia to massive copper sulfide (chalcocite, bornite and chalcopyrite) between 32m and 108m downhole
2m of visual breccia and dense vein style copper sulfide (chalcocite, bornite and chalcopyrite) between 273m and 275m downhole
The new zone of near-surface copper has been named ‘Thunder'
The deeper intersection is interpreted to correlate with the prospective sediment hosted copper horizon intersected earlier this season, and is the first recorded occurrence south of the Southern Graben Fault
The drill hole was targeting both a near-surface Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) plate and a deeper gravity anomaly close to the Southern Graben Fault
- The drilling results confirm that these geophysical techniques are reliable targeting tools for copper sulfides at Storm
- Diamond drilling continues on high-priority copper targets
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2023 / Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSXV:BAY)(OTCQB:ATBHF) ("Aston Bay" or the "Company") reports two new significant copper sulfide mineralization intercepts from a diamond drill hole testing blind geophysical targets at the Storm Copper Project ("Storm" or the "Project") on Somerset Island, Nunavut, Canada. The program, still underway, is being conducted by American West Metals Limited ("American West"), who are the project operator since entering an option agreement with Aston Bay in March 2021.
