Dave O’Neill, Managing Director of American West Metals commented:
“In addition to our exciting discovery of a new copper system announced this week, the shallow drilling at the 2750N Zone has also continued to deliver spectacular results. We have now extended the strike and mineralised footprint of the thick, near surface copper at the 2750N Zone to over 200m.
“Every drill hole we have completed at the 2750N Zone has intersected wide intervals of copper with mineralisation open along strike and at depth. This is the best outcome we could hope for and shows that we are well on our way to defining a significant volume of copper here.
“The drilling has emphasized the strong continuity and expansion potential of the 2750N Zone where we are aiming to define a shallow copper resource that can support a low cost, low-footprint direct shipping ore (DSO) mining operation.
“The success at the 2750N Zone bodes well for the potential of several other near-surface high-grade zones already identified by previous drilling.
“We look forward to reporting further information and assay results in the coming weeks
