11:30 AM EST, 11/17/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Northisle Copper and Gold ( NTCPF ) earlier Monday said that drilling at West Goodspeed "continues" to confirm broad zones of copper-gold porphyry mineralization with locally higher-grade intervals, extending the system both laterally and at depth.

The company said its 2025 program "confirms and continues" to extend the mineralization outlined in previous drilling, improving understanding of the controls on copper-gold distribution. Ten additional holes were drilled with the objective of expanding the West Goodspeed target.

"Work has now commenced to bring West Goodspeed into the mineral inventory on the project, which will support our planned pre-feasibility study," said Northisle Chief Executive Sam Lee. "Our exploration team is now focused on executing a comprehensive in-fill drilling program while advancing the exploration thesis for the overall property."

The company said the expanded 2025 drilling program "continues to progress rapidly" with 14,130 metres now complete, which includes about 9,000 metres of exploration drilling. A total of up to 10,000 metres of infill, geotech and condemnation drilling remain in 2025.

Shares of the company were last seen up 6.7% at $1.76 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
