American West Metals has mobilised for an indium and gallium resampling program at its West Desert project in Utah, USA. With $40M cash in the tin, the company also plans to expand its 33.67Mt zinc-copper-silver resource with updates expected in the first quarter next year. A drill program will leverage the company's 100% ownership of the land and permits to fast-track its critical metals exploration.

American West Metals has intercepted thick copper sulphides at depth at its Storm Copper project in Nunavut, Canada, with a diamond drill hole intersecting a lengthy 47 metres of visual copper sulphide mineralisation at its high-priority Cyclone Deeps target. The result reaffirms the potential for a large-scale, stacked copper horizon beneath the company's flagship Cyclone deposit, setting the stage for significant resource growth across its massive 2200-square-kilometre tenure.

American West Metals is charging into exploration season at its flagship Storm copper project in Nunavut, Canada, with the drill bit primed for a bevy of deep, high-grade copper targets at the sprawling project. Drilling is set to kick off shortly as the company simultaneously rolls out a regional mobile magneto-telluric survey to test for deeper copper sulphide targets across the 110km copper belt.

American West is about to launch a new drilling campaign in Utah targeting a suite of US-listed critical metals, including copper, gallium and molybdenum. The company's West Desert project already holds the United States' largest undeveloped indium resource and remains open in multiple directions.

American West Metals will start its 2025 exploration program at its Storm copper-zinc project on Somerset Island, in Canada, within weeks. The company aims to further define recent high-grade copper discoveries and rapidly grow the region's mineral resource potential. Only a fraction of Storm's 110km-long fertile copper belt has so far been tested by a drill bit.

American West Metals has entered into a partnership and funding agreement for the development of its 2200-square-kilometre Storm copper project in Nunavut, Canada, which will underpin the project's long-term future. The binding agreement with Ocean Partners Holdings includes an US$2M (A$3.32M) private placement, provision of up to 80% of initial capital for project development and Ocean Partners' offtake of 100% of the project's copper and silver production.

American West Metals' preliminary economic assessment has knocked out a whopping $1.33bn revenue number for a 10-year mine with a net cashflow of A305m at its flagship Storm Copper project in Canada. The study is targeting 10.3mt of resource at 1.3 per cent copper and 3.7g/t silver to produce 487,000t of 17 per cent copper concentrate. With a low A$76m capex and a A$238m NPV, the project will pay for itself within three years.
