An update from American West Metals Ltd. ( (AU:AW1) ) is now available.

American West Metals has commenced a 5,000m diamond drilling program at its West Desert Project in Utah, operating around the clock to test multiple high-priority targets outside the existing mineral resource. The campaign will follow up high-grade indium, copper, silver, gold, and gallium mineralisation, including Apex-style gallium targets along the Juab Fault and large geophysical anomalies that resemble the main West Desert resource area.

The company is also nearing completion of a resampling program on historical drill core and waste dumps from old silver and base metal workings within its tenure, with assays due within three to five weeks and potential to define new near-surface critical metal zones. Management frames these activities as strategically timed with the recent U.S. Section 232 proclamation naming gallium and indium as critical to national security, underscoring West Desert’s potential role in reducing U.S. dependence on foreign critical metal supply and enhancing American West’s engagement with U.S. government stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:AW1) stock is a Hold with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on American West Metals Ltd. stock, see the AU:AW1 Stock Forecast page.
