# NorthWest Intersects 110.0 Metres of 1.86% CuEq, 0.64% Copper and 1.10 g/t Gold in the Western Zone at Kwanika from 378 Metres Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/northwest-intersects-110-0-metres-of-1-86-cueq-0-64-copper-and-1-10-g-t-gold-in--d4630dcd-827f-4c4d-9114-a81a42bb84ad Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/NWST.V/press-releases/8678904921104111 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-10-21T13:27:22.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-21T13:59:33.461Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-21T13:59:33.461Z - 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: 2026-10-21 13:59:34 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.90 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary NorthWest Copper announced strong drill results from its Kwanika project in British Columbia, highlighted by an intercept of 110.0 metres grading 1.86% CuEq \(0.64% copper and 1.10 g/t gold\) in hole K-26-346. The drilling successfully confirmed geological and grade continuity in the Western Zone, reduced drill spacing to support future resource classification, and identified new mineralized structures and extensions, including an up-dip extension and a new porphyry zone. These results are part of a 43-hole program aimed at increasing resource confidence and assessing potential impact on a Preliminary Economic Assessment. Reasoning: The drill results confirm high-grade copper-gold mineralization over significant widths, including a bonanza intercept in K-26-346, and identify new mineralized structures and extensions, supporting increased resource confidence and future growth. - Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept - Positive factor: True Width Disclosed - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: Infill Drilling Facts used in scoring: 76 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The CuEq grade of 1.86% over 110.0m in K-26-346 is well above the exceptional threshold for porphyry copper deposits \(0.8% CuEq\). Evidence · text > 110.0 metres \(estimated true width of 84.3 metres\) grading 0.64% copper and 1.10 g/t gold \(1.86% copper equivalent \(“CuEq”\)\) **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: The release explicitly states an estimated true width of 84.3 metres for the main intercept in K-26-346. Evidence · text > estimated true width of 84.3 metres **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling identified a new mineralized structure above previously defined zones and an additional porphyry mineralized zone immediately below previously defined structures, highlighting expansion potential. Evidence · text > intersected a new mineralized structure above previously defined mineralized zones, grading 1.07% CuEq over 30 metres, and identified an additional primary porphyry mineralized zone immediately below previously defined mineralized structures, highlighting further expansion potential at Kwanika. **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release includes a detailed 'Quality Assurance / Quality Control' section, mentioning certified labs, QP sign-off, and methods like blanks, standards, duplicates, and check assays. Evidence · text > Quality Assurance / Quality Control Drilling at Kwanika in 2026 was designed and supervised by NorthWest and implemented by InData Geoscience with assay QA/QC checks by Explore Geosolutions. Samples were collected, tracked and an external QA/QC program was implemented using coarse blanks and certified prepared blanks and standards to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. The samples were sealed on site and shipped to Activation Laboratories Ltd. \(“Actlabs”\) in Kamloops, BC. The laboratory’s internal quality control system complies with global certifications for quality ISO 17025. Drill core samples were analyzed using a combination of Actlabs multi-element 1F2 analysis for low level concentrations \(4-Acid Digestion, ICP-OES\) and the 8-4 Acid ICP-OES analysis for higher level concentrations \(4-Acid Digestion, ICP-OES with automatic over limits for base metals and silver\). Gold, platinum and palladium assaying was completed with 1C-OES method, using a 30-gram fire assay with ICP finish analysis. In addition, about 5% of the sample pulps are re-assayed at a secondary laboratory to confirm reproducibility and check for bias. Technical aspects of this news release have been reviewed, verified, and approved by Geoff Chinn, P.Geo., VP Business Development and Exploration for NorthWest, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program's objective included reducing drill hole spacing to approximately 50 metres to support increased confidence in the classification of future mineral resource updates.

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.
