Advancing High-Grade Copper and Precious Metals Discoveries in Canada’s North
Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX-V: BAY | OTCQB: ATBHF) is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking the value of high-grade copper and precious metals discoveries in Nunavut, a stable and mining-friendly jurisdiction. Through a strategic partnership with American West Metals, Aston Bay is rapidly advancing the Storm Copper Project, a district-scale opportunity with near-surface high-grade copper and strong discovery potential at depth.
A recently announced Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) confirmed a significant, high-grade maiden resource at Storm, reinforcing its potential as one of the most exciting new copper plays in Canada. The project has also attracted a strategic partnership with Ocean Partners Holdings Ltd., a global leader in metals trading and project financing, which is providing up to 80% of the initial capital for development and has secured 100% offtake rights for copper and silver products, further validating Storm’s commercial and technical strength.
In parallel, Aston Bay is putting increased focus on the 100%-owned Epworth Project – an underexplored, 115-kilometre-long belt showing strong indications of high-grade copper, zinc, and silver mineralization. With recent sampling and structural interpretation suggesting multiple styles of mineralization, Epworth is emerging as a valuable pipeline project and a potential second discovery front for the Company.
Our experienced team brings a wealth of expertise in mineral exploration, geology, and project development, positioning Aston Bay to capitalize on the growing demand for these critical commodities.
At Aston Bay, we focus on building a diverse portfolio of high-quality projects with significant upside potential. With a commitment to sustainable exploration and innovation, Aston Bay focuses on projects that have the potential to deliver significant value for shareholders while contributing to the global supply of critical minerals essential for the green energy transition.
Aston Bay’s model combines exploration upside, strategic partnerships, and a free-carried interest structure, positioning it to deliver shareholder value through discovery and de-risked development.

Our Mission
Aston Bay is committed to discovering and developing high-grade copper and precious metals resources in top-tier jurisdictions, creating long-term value for shareholders through responsible and science-driven mineral exploration.
Our Projects
Storm Copper Project (Nunavut, Canada)
High-Grade Copper Discovery in Partnership with American West Metals
Located on Somerset Island in Nunavut, the Storm Copper Project is our flagship asset. It hosts extensive high-grade copper mineralization, with only 5% of the 100km copper belt that has been properly explored with a drill program. In collaboration with our partner, American West Metals, we are aggressively advancing exploration to define resources and unlock the project’s economic potential. The key advantage of the project is the Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) potential, offering an environmentally friendly pathway to production.
Epworth Copper Project (Nunavut, Canada)
District-Scale Potential for Copper, Zinc, Silver, and Precious Metals
Positioned in a geologically favorable region for sedimentary-hosted copper deposits, this early-stage project reflects our strategy of targeting world-class mineral districts. Surface samples have yielded up to 61% copper with 5600 g/t silver as well as cobalt, zinc, and gold.
Our Approach
Innovation-Driven Exploration: We employ advanced geophysical techniques, aggressive drilling programs, and data-driven analysis to identify and expand mineral resources.
Partnerships: By working with industry-leading partners like American West Metals, we combine expertise and resources to maximize project potential.
Sustainability: We prioritize sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact and create shared value for stakeholders.
