Aston Bay (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) announced plans for its 2025 regional exploration program at the Storm Copper Project on Somerset Island, Nunavut, operated by American West Metals under a 20/80 joint venture in which Aston Bay holds a free carried interest until a mine decision is made. CEO Thomas Ullrich highlighted key 2025 milestones, including the completion of an NI 43-101 Initial Mineral Resource Estimate, a $1 million royalty milestone payment from Taurus, and a strategic alliance with Ocean Partners to support near-surface copper development. The upcoming summer program will target new discoveries along a 110 km copper belt, expand known deposits, and support resource development through advanced geophysics and drilling. A Preliminary Economic Analysis for the near-surface mineralization is also underway, with impactful developments expected in the second half of the year.

About Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. 

Aston Bay is a publicly traded mineral exploration company exploring for high-grade copper and gold deposits in Virginia, USA, and Nunavut, Canada. The company is currently exploring the Storm Project property and Cu-Ag-Zn-Co Epworth property in Nunavut, as well as the high-grade Buckingham Gold Vein and critical metals prospects in central Virginia. The company is also in advanced stages of negotiation on other lands with high-grade copper potential in North America. The company and its joint venture partners, American West Metals Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tornado Metals Ltd. (collectively, “American West”), formed a 20/80 unincorporated joint venture in respect of the Storm Project property, which hosts the Storm Copper Project and the Seal Zinc Deposit. Under the unincorporated joint venture, Aston Bay shall have a free carried interest until American West has made a decision to mine upon completion of a bankable feasibility study, meaning American West will be solely responsible for funding the joint venture until such decision is made. After such decision is made, Aston Bay will be diluted in the event it does not elect to contribute its proportionate share and its interest in the Storm Project property will be converted into a 2% net smelter returns royalty if its interest is diluted to below 10%.
