12:49 PM EDT, 09/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Northisle Copper and Gold ( NTCPF ) was last seen up 14% after the company on Monday reported high-grade drilling results from its 2025 exploration campaign at the West Goodspeed target of the North Island Project on Vancouver Island.

The company released results from six holes, with best results including 30 meters testing at 0.9% copper equivalent, and 195.5 meters testing at 0.56% copper equivalent.

The company said the drilling confirmed broad zones of copper-gold porphyry mineralization with locally higher-grade intervals. Phase V drilling, which began in August, will include step-out work at West Goodspeed, infill drilling, and regional target testing across the property.

As of September 3, Northisle has drilled 10,046 meters in 2025, including 6,903 meters at West Goodspeed and Red Dog, 2,132 meters at Cougar, Goodspeed and Northwest Expo, and 1,012 meters within the Red Dog open-pit footprint.

"We continue to be encouraged by the results to date from West Goodspeed. These results continue to demonstrate continuity of good grades and provided us the confidence to step out further to the northwest at West Goodspeed. We have confirmed mineralization over a corridor spanning more than 1,000m in strike length with only 50% of results received from exploration drilling in the West Goodspeed-Red Dog mineralized corridor," chief executive Sam Lee said,

Shares of NorthIsle Copper were last seen up $0.18 to $1.53 on the TSXV.
