Aston Bay (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) recently released an update regarding its Storm Copper Project’s 2024 drilling exploration program. The program focused on expansion at the Cyclone and Chinook Prospects and delineation drilling at the Lightning Ridge discovery and Thunder Prospect. “The first deep drill hole of the year adds another success to the 2024 exploration program at Storm,” said Aston Bay CEO Thomas Ullrich. “The style of copper mineralization intercepted and its stratigraphic location is similar to Cyclone — this may be the fault-offset southern portion of the deposit and could add to a potential future resource.
“In addition to extensions to known mineralization, this discovery highlights the discovery potential of the deeper stratigraphic levels in the Central Graben area, an expanse of over 10-square kilometers,” Ullrich continued. “Every deep drill hole has hit copper mineralization at approximately the same depth, and we continue to improve our geophysical modeling to hit thicker and higher-grade intercepts in this very large and prospective horizon.”

About Aston Bay Holdings Ltd.
Aston Bay is a publicly traded mineral exploration company exploring for high-grade copper and gold deposits in Virginia, USA, and Nunavut, Canada. The company is led by CEO Thomas Ullrich with exploration in Virginia directed by the company’s advisor, Don Taylor, the 2018 Thayer Lindsley Award winner for his discovery of the Taylor Pb-Zn-Ag Deposit in Arizona. The company is currently exploring the high-grade Buckingham Gold Vein in central Virginia and is in advanced stages of negotiation on other lands with high-grade copper potential in the area. The company and its joint venture partners, American West Metals Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tornado Metals Ltd. (collectively, “American West”) have agreed to form a 20/80 unincorporated joint venture and enter into a joint venture agreement in respect of the Storm Project property, which hosts the Storm Copper Project and the Seal Zinc Deposit. Under such agreement, Aston Bay shall have a free carried interest until American West has made a decision to mine upon completion of a bankable feasibility study, meaning American West will be solely responsible for funding the joint venture until such decision is made. After such decision is made, Aston Bay will be diluted in the event it does not elect to contribute its proportionate share and its interest in the Storm Project property will be converted into a 2% net smelter returns royalty if its interest is diluted to below 10%.
