NorthWest Copper Corp. reports positive assay results from the fifth drill hole at its Kwanika project in British Columbia. Drill hole K-25-278 intersected two broad zones of near-surface copper-gold mineralization, including 44 metres grading 0.62% Cu, 0.42 g/t Au. Results confirm continuous mineralization and suggest a potential high-grade starter pit.
The 2025 drill program aims to define higher-grade zones within the current mineral resource at Kwanika. The program focuses on underground targets and higher-grade areas within the open-pit resource. Results from the first five holes have exceeded expectations, supporting the potential for improved project economics in an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment.
Hole K-25-278 confirms the continuity of copper-dominant mineralization in the Pit Zone over substantial widths within the open-pit resource. The upper Central Zone also showed promising results, with a combined true width of 25.4 metres grading 1.50% CuEq. Additional holes in the 2025 program will determine the continuity of these zones.
NorthWest’s 2025 exploration program at Kwanika aims to validate, infill, and expand on the understanding of higher-grade copper-gold mineralization within the current resource. Early results, including those from hole K-25-278, support progress toward the company’s objectives. The program is designed to support alternative bulk mining methods at the project.
