NorthWest Copper Corp announces positive drill results from its Kwanika project in British Columbia. Drill hole K-25-281 intercepted 26m grading 0.72% Cu, 1.30 g/t Au, confirming higher-grade zones. The Company’s strategy focuses on high-grade domains to enhance a future Preliminary Economic Assessment. The Pit Zone yielded 38m of 0.48% Cu, 0.12g/t Au, while the Central Zone had 40m of 0.63% Cu, 0.95 g/t Au. Hole K-25-282 intersected 75.7m of 0.93% Cu, 0.30g/t Au. VP Geoff Chinn is encouraged by these results and anticipates further clarification of the relationship between the Central and Pit Zones. The 2025 exploration program aims to confirm and expand on higher-grade copper-gold mineralization within the current mineral resource. Initial results from seven holes, including K-25-281 and K-25-282, show significant progress towards these goals. The drilling program is designed to evaluate higher-grade zones, focusing on bulk underground mining methods. Hole K-25-281 was drilled to test northeast extensions of the Central Zone and confirmed the presence of near-surface mineralization in the Pit Zone. The hole intersected finely disseminated sulphides in potassic-altered rock and higher-grade mineralization with an increasing gold-to-copper ratio. Hole K-25-281 extended the Central Zone by 30 meters northeast, intersecting a wide interval of monzonite with quartz stockwork. Hole K-25-282 confirmed a separate high-grade copper zone south of Pit Zone 5, indicating a potential connection to the Central Zone. Both holes were drilled using HQ core size. Metal zonation supports the relatedness of these zones. Drill results are detailed in Table 1.

Drilling at Kwanika in 2025 was supervised by NorthWest and implemented by InData Geoscience. Samples were collected, tracked, and sent to Actlabs for analysis. The laboratory’s quality control system is ISO 17025 certified. Drill core samples were analyzed for various elements, with re-assaying at a secondary lab for confirmation. Technical aspects of the news release were reviewed by a qualified person, Geoff Chinn. NorthWest is a copper-gold exploration and development company with projects in British Columbia. They are committed to responsible mineral exploration and working collaboratively with First Nations. For more information, visit www.northwestcopper.ca.
