08:55 AM EST, 11/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- NorthWest Copper ( NWCCF ) provided Wednesday significant assays from the Kwanika project in British Columbia.

Results include 36.0 meters grading 3.67% copper equivalent in drill hole K-25-280, the best result from the company's 2025 drill program to date.

"This hole is an outstanding result and once again builds on the consistently strong results reported to date from the higher-grade copper-gold zones we are targeting at Kwanika," Chief Executive Officer Paul Olmsted said.

"These results, combined with historical drill results, strengthen our confidence that we can meaningfully enhance the potential economics in an updated preliminary economic assessment through targeting higher-grade zones," Olmsted said.

The company said its expanded 6,435-meter drill program is designed to define higher-grade zones within the current mineral resource, with a particular focus on underground targets.

NorthWest plans to update the PEA in mid-2026.

NorthWest's share price gained 3.9% on Tuesday to $0.265 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
