Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. reported the latest assay results from the Storm Copper Project on Somerset Island, Nunavut. The program was conducted by American West Metals Limited ("American West"), who is the operator of the Project. A total of 63 drill holes were completed during the 2023 drilling program for 9,756m, out of a planned maximum of 10,000m.

Of these drill holes, 56 were drilled using reverse circulation (RC), and 7 were diamond drill holes. The drilling was designed to define resources within the known near-surface, high-grade, near-surface, high-surface copper zones to support a maiden resource and to test key exploration targets and concepts. The completion of 39 RC drill holes at the 4100N Zone during 2023 has confirmed a large volume of mineralization with significant resource potential.

The mineralization is flat-lying and continuous over a significant lateral extent. The 2021 FLEM survey highlighted two distinct, late time anomalies with an apparent strike of approximately 200m and 500m respectively north of the known copper mineralization at the 4100N Zone. A single drill hole was designed to test the southernmost anomaly.

Drill hole SR23-55 intersected a 24.4m thick interval of breccia and vein copper sulfide mineralisation. The mineralized zone contains a stronger sulfide breccia interval of 7.6m @ 1% Cu, which includes 1.5m @ 2% Cu. Significantly, a FLEM anomaly located over 300m to the north of drill hole SR23-55 has a higher conductivity and could represent larger volumes of >2% copper mineralisation.

This anomaly is yet to be drill tested. These two anomalies cover an area of approximately 16 hectares and have the potential for further drilling to expand the resource. A total of 63 drill hole were completed during the 20 23 drilling program for 9,756 m, out of a planned maximumof 10,000m.

Of These drill holes, 56 were drilled use reverse circulation (RC), and7 were diamond drill holes. The drill holes was designed to define resources within The known near-surface, high the high-grade 4100N, 2750N and 2,000m. The drilling was designed to defined resources within the known near- surface, high-grade 4100N and 2,000m, including, 1.5m @ 8.3% Cu from 54.9m, and, 4.5m @ 1.5m @ 1. 5m @ 1.5% Cu from 67.1m.

Drill hole SR23-41 (4100N Zone) has intersected: 12.2m @ 1.1% Cu from 118.9m, including, 3m @ 4% Cu from 126.5m, Drill hole SR23-43 (4100N Zone) have intersected: 1.5m @ 1%.
