NorthWest Copper Corp. reports final drill results from its 2025 exploration at the Kwanika project in British Columbia. Three holes focused on the Andesite Breccia target, extending mineralization by 90 meters. A historical hole contained low-grade palladium, suggesting potential for exploration in 2026. Results will inform a planned 2026 drill program. CEO Paul Olmsted highlights success and future plans. VP Geoff Chinn discusses upgraded Andesite Breccia target and downgraded Transfer target. The 2025 drill program aimed to test IP chargeability and mineralization orientation. Geological aspects of recent and historical drill holes are summarized. Hole K-25-279 returned a copper-dominant mineralized interval over 44 meters in a silicified andesite breccia. Hole K-25-285 intersected pyrite mineralization associated with potassic alteration but no significant assay values. Hole K-25-288 demonstrated short intervals of potassic alteration extend into the area and a potential southeast trending structure at 351 meters.
Hole K-22-247 hosted an undisclosed palladium intersection in magnetite-bearing propylitic altered mela-gabbro. Palladium is associated with copper and gold mineralization at the Kwanika Central deposit. Hole K-25-288 aimed to determine if potassic alteration trends towards the southwest in the area and ended in a late monzonite feldspar porphyry intrusive.
Drilling at Kwanika in 2025 was supervised by NorthWest with QA/QC checks by Explore Geosolutions. Samples were collected and shipped to Activation Laboratories for analysis. The company is committed to responsible mineral exploration and works collaboratively with First Nations. NorthWest has a pipeline of advanced and early-stage projects in British Columbia, including Kwanika-Stardust, Lorraine-Top Cat, and East Niv.
