# NorthWest Intersects 31.4 Metres of 0.92% Copper and 1.08 g/t Gold \(2.11% CuEq\) at Kwanika in the Pit Zone from 78 Metres Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/northwest-intersects-31-4-metres-of-0-92-copper-and-1-08-g-t-gold-2-11-cueq-at-k--7652df70-915a-4955-a018-8d5aaeceb787 Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/NWST.V/press-releases/4731288482007983 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-10-14T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-14T12:01:41.484Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-14T12:01:41.484Z - 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: 2026-10-14 12:01:42 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary NorthWest Copper reported strong drill results from its Kwanika project in British Columbia, highlighted by hole K-26-306 intersecting 31.4 metres grading 0.92% copper and 1.08 g/t gold \(2.11% CuEq\) from 78 metres. These near-surface intercepts extend mineralization up-dip and reduce drill hole spacing, supporting future resource upgrades in the high-grade Pit Zone. The company also disclosed detailed QA/QC procedures and metal equivalent assumptions. Reasoning: The drill hole K-26-306 intersected exceptional copper equivalent grades \(2.11% CuEq\) over a significant width \(31.4m\) from near surface, extending known mineralization and supporting resource upgrades in the Pit Zone. This result is well above the average for porphyry copper deposits. - Positive factor: high\_grade\_copper - Positive factor: high\_grade\_gold - Positive factor: significant\_width - Positive factor: true\_width\_disclosed - Positive factor: step\_out\_extension - Positive factor: infill\_drilling - Positive factor: near\_surface\_mineralization - Positive factor: qaqc\_disclosed - Positive factor: qp\_signed - Positive factor: lab\_certified - Positive factor: metal\_equivalent\_assumptions\_disclosed Facts used in scoring: 40 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

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.
