  • NorthWest Copper Corp. reported positive drill results from three holes (K-25-275, K-25-277, K-25-284) at its 100% owned Kwanika project in British Columbia.
  • Hole K-25-275 intersected Pit Zone 10 with 58 metres grading 0.96% Cu, 1.04 g/t Au, equating to 1.92% CuEq.
  • Hole K-25-284 extended Pit Zone 10 by 40 metres along strike and down-dip, where mineralization remains open for future growth.
  • Hole K-25-277 extended Pit Zone 10 up-dip, confirming its orientation and continuity.
  • The results define multiple near-surface, high-grade zones within the current open pit mineral resource, supporting a potential high-grade starter pit for a future Preliminary Economic Assessment.
  • The 2025 exploration program aims to confirm, define, and expand higher-grade copper-gold mineralization within the Pit, Central, and Western Zones.
  • Hole K-25-275 also intersected Pit Zone 5 with 50.5 metres grading 0.21% Cu, 0.92 g/t Au (1.04% CuEq), including a higher-grade interval of 10 metres grading 0.34% Cu, 2.07 g/t Au (2.20% CuEq).
  • Hole K-25-277 intersected Pit Zone 5 with 40.5 metres grading 0.27% Cu, 1.02 g/t Au (1.19% CuEq).
  • Hole K-25-284 intersected Pit Zone 5 with 70 metres grading 0.72% Cu, 0.95 g/t Au (1.58% CuEq).
  • CEO Paul Olmsted stated the results validate the 2025 drill program objectives to improve understanding of higher-grade mineralization.
  • VP Geoff Chinn noted the discovery of structurally controlled higher-grade zones, including a new high-grade copper zone to the south of Pit Zone 5.
  • Drill core samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. with QA/QC checks by Explore Geosolutions.
  • The Company is tracking towards meeting target guidance for an updated mineral resource estimate.
