# NorthWest Intersects 108.7 Metres of 0.70% Copper and 1.69 G/T Gold \(2.53% Cueq\) at Kwanika in the Western Zone from 352.8 Metres Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/northwest-intersects-108-7-metres-of-0-70-copper-and-1-69-g-t-gold-2-53-cueq-at--838f2755-5c2b-44c7-9079-c0cb84d8c643 Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/NWST.V/press-releases/5249714969909736 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-10-08T11:15:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-08T13:03:01.867Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-08T13:03:01.867Z - Company: NorthWest Copper Corp. - Ticker: NWST.V - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver, Palladium - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-08 13:03:02 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary NorthWest Copper reported strong drill results from its 2026 exploration program at the Kwanika project in British Columbia, with highlights including 108.7 metres of 0.70% copper and 1.69 g/t gold \(2.53% CuEq\) in hole K-26-263, and 51.5 metres of 1.15% copper and 1.47 g/t gold \(2.77% CuEq\) in hole K-26-276. These infill holes confirm continuity of mineralization and are designed to upgrade resource confidence to the Indicated category, while also identifying new deeper porphyry mineralization. Reasoning: The drill results from the Kwanika project's Western Zone show strong copper-gold mineralization over significant widths, with several intercepts exceeding previous best grades for the project. The infill drilling confirms continuity and aims to upgrade resource confidence to the Indicated category, while also identifying new deeper porphyry mineralization for future exploration. The disclosure of true widths, QA/QC procedures, and metal equivalent assumptions adds to the confidence in these results. - Positive factor: wide\_high\_grade\_intercepts - Positive factor: confirmation\_of\_continuity - Positive factor: new\_deeper\_porphyry\_mineralization\_identified - Positive factor: infill\_drilling\_to\_upgrade\_resource\_category - Positive factor: true\_width\_disclosed - Positive factor: qaqc\_disclosed - Positive factor: qp\_signed - Positive factor: metal\_equivalent\_assumptions\_disclosed - Positive factor: better\_than\_best\_intercept - Negative factor: cut\_off\_undisclosed Facts used in scoring: 64 ## Classification and evidence No classification tags are available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 64.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
