ArcWest Exploration Inc ( (TSE:AWX) ) just unveiled an announcement.

ArcWest Exploration reported 2025 drilling results from the Todd Creek copper-gold project, where partner Freeport-McMoRan funded 4,614 metres of reconnaissance drilling across nine holes under an earn-in agreement that could give Freeport a 51% stake. The wide-spaced program tested five targets along the 13-kilometre Todd Creek Alteration Corridor and intersected copper-gold mineralization and strong hydrothermal alteration in most holes, indicating multiple potential mineralizing centres.

At Orange Mountain, drilling confirmed vertical zonation from epithermal-style veins near surface into deeper porphyry-style copper-bearing veins, suggesting a high-level expression of a porphyry Cu-Au system that may have alkalic affinities. Additional drilling at Orange Mountain and Ice/Fall Creek intersected sulfide-rich, copper-gold-bearing zones and validated geophysical anomalies, extending known mineralization beneath previously untested gossans and reinforcing the project’s exploration upside and the strategic value of the Freeport partnership.
