NorthWest Copper Extends Andesite Breccia Target as Kwanika Drilling Exceeds Expectations

Northwest Copper ( (TSE:NWST) ) has provided an announcement.

NorthWest Copper reported final drill results from its 2025 exploration program at its 100%-owned Kwanika project in British Columbia, highlighting encouraging results at the Andesite Breccia target, located north of the main Kwanika Central deposit. A key hole at Andesite Breccia extended the interpreted mineralized zone by about 90 metres and confirmed copper-dominant mineralization, while historical data revealed a previously undisclosed low‑grade palladium interval nearby, which may provide an additional vector for future exploration. The company said the 2025 drilling program overall exceeded expectations at the Kwanika Central and Pit zones by demonstrating continuity of higher-grade zones, upgraded Andesite Breccia into a three-dimensional near-surface target open to the northwest and at depth, and downgraded the nearby Transfer Target after drilling indicated its geophysical anomaly was caused by pyrite. With all 2025 results now incorporated into its geological model, NorthWest is advancing toward an updated mineral resource in early 2026 and an updated preliminary economic assessment later in the year, which is intended to support a more economically compelling development plan for Kwanika, with implications for the project’s long-term viability and attractiveness to stakeholders.
