11:39 AM EST, 11/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- NorthWest Copper ( NWCCF ) said Wednesday the latest drill results from its Kwanika project in British Columbia returned an intercept of 44 meters grading 1.01% copper equivalent.

The company's expanded drill program aims to better define higher-grade zones within the current mineral resource. Results from the first five holes have met or exceeded these expectations, highlighting the opportunity to improve on the economics outlined in the 2023 preliminary economic assessment, the company said. NorthWest expects to release additional results from the remaining 13 holes over the coming weeks.

"Hole K-25-278, continues to confirm the continuity of copper dominate mineralization within the Pit Zone over substantial widths inside the current open-pit mineral resource. Better definition of these zones will directly improve the quality of the mineral resource and future mine plans based on it," said Geoff Chinn, who heads business development and exploration.

NorthWest shares were last seen down $0.005 to $0.275 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
