American West Metals (ASX:AW1) has discovered high-grade copper at depth in its Storm Project located in Canada.

The deep diamond drilling operations have confirmed the presence of a large copper system at depth, returning assays up to 3.7% copper.

The Central Graben area, targeted for its potential to host large-scale copper deposits, yielded promising results in drill hole ST24-01.

The hole intersected 10m at 1.2% Cu from 311m downhole, including a notable interval of 0.5m at 3.7% Cu.

The discovery corroborates the lateral extent and potential of the Storm copper system.

"The assays for the first deep diamond drill hole have been received and have produced outstanding results. The drill hole has hit what we believe to be the first indication of Cyclone Deposit-style mineralisation at depth," said Dave O’Neill, Managing Director of American West Metals.

O'Neill further highlighted the geological significance of the discovery,
"The style, thickness, grade, and host rocks of the copper mineralisation look very similar to that of the southern part of the Cyclone Deposit. To achieve these results in our very first deep drill hole this year speaks to the untapped potential of the Storm area."

Additionally, the company is anticipating assay results for a second drill hole, ST24-02, which intersected 99.2m of visual copper sulphide.

American West Metals is a mineral exploration company. The principal activities of the company include the development of the zinc-copper-indium deposit at West Desert, Utah as well as exploration across the broader project area.

At the time of reporting, American West Metals' share price was $0.10.
