Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) has reported final results from the marine magnetotelluric (MMT) geophysical survey conducted at its Storm Copper Project on Somerset Island, Nunavut. The project is operated by American West Metals under a 20/80 joint venture arrangement between the companies.
According to CEO Thomas Ullrich, the survey identified large conductive anomalies that are consistent with known high-grade zones at the Cyclone Deposit. These findings suggest the potential for significant copper sulphide mineralization at the site. The geophysical results provide important data for ongoing exploration and development activities at the Storm Copper Project.
The company indicated that permitting processes, economic studies, and feasibility work continue to advance the project toward potential mining operations. Ullrich emphasized that the timing positions the Storm Copper Project to benefit from strong global copper demand, which is being driven by electrification initiatives, renewable energy expansion, and infrastructure growth worldwide.
Under the joint venture structure detailed in the announcement available at https://ibn.fm/HI7s9, Aston Bay maintains a free carried interest until American West makes a decision to mine following completion of a bankable feasibility study. This arrangement means American West bears sole responsibility for funding the joint venture until such a decision is made. If Aston Bay does not elect to contribute its proportionate share after a mining decision, its interest would convert to a 2% net smelter returns royalty if diluted below 10%.
The latest developments and updates relating to ATBHF are available in the company's newsroom at https://ibn.fm/ATBHF. The project's advancement comes at a time when copper demand is expected to grow significantly due to global transitions toward clean energy and electrified infrastructure, making new copper discoveries increasingly valuable to the mining industry and broader economy.
